[.ca] Each Peach Pear Plum (ISBN 067088278X)

From Amazon.com:
"Each Peach Pear Plum. I spy Tom Thumb!" In this engaging, interactive book for the very young, familiar nursery-rhyme characters such as Mother Hubbard and Baby Bunting sneak their way into the gentle drawings. Even young children who might not know all the fairy-tale stars can find them lurking in the cupboard, on the stairs, or deep in the woods. In the happy finale, the whole cast meets up for plum pie in the sun, where the little one on your lap will gleefully find everyone. An American Library Association Notable Book. (Baby to preschooler)

A Must-have:
I fell in love with this book reading it to my brother 20+ years ago and remember how excited he was to finally find Tom Thumb in all the pictures! It's just as fun to read this with my young daughter, who likes to find the cat. The illustrations in this book are so beautiful and important to the story, it's worth it to buy the hardcover (you miss lots of detail in the board book version).

enchanting!:
This is sort of like the child's story book version of the Broadway musical "Into the Woods." ...there's Jack and Jill, Cinderella, Mother Hubbard, Baby Bunting, the Three Bears...and more. Each illustration combines the person "you spy" with a hint at the next scene on the next page. It's absolutely charming on all levels. My two year old loves it, and yet it's one that I--at 29 years old--don't mind reading to her three times in a row. The rhymes and scenes make perfect segues into the rhymes and scenes on the next page. Worth every dollar spent. Even if your kids are very young, you'll probably end up saving this one for your grandkids to enjoy.

We've read it so often we're on our second copy!:
My 18 month old has loved this book for the past six months. The melody of the words makes reading out loud a pleasure. The detailed pictures allows every reading experience to be different by pointing to new things. This book is just the best!

Intricate and gorgeous...sure to be a classic!:
An "I spy" format drives this poem, where the listener encounters familiar nursery rhyme characters, one after another. Little ones will enjoy finding the approaching nursery rhyme character in each page. A very interactive book, with a classic feel.

Enchanting:
I held off buying this book until my twins were over 1 1/2 yrs old, and it paid off, because now they can appreciate the wonderful illustrations and "I spy" game. The illustrations are pleasing and detailed, and the little story is fun. My children always pull it out of the pile and sit together through the whole story, something they won't do with all books. A great book, highly recommend.
