Delilghtfully Hot Book!:
I loved Nina Crews' collage artwork depicting the hotness of summer in the city. The images were incredibly colorful and I wanted to explore all the details in the pictures. The little girl in purple whom the author used as the subject is absolutely adodrable! Her smile just lights you up and you can just imagine all the fun she is having. Nina lets the reader experience many emotions while reading this book! One cannot help it! This is a delightful book for pre-schoolers and a first grader could read this with maybe a tad bit of help with some of the words. This mother thoroughly recommends this book for your pre-schoolers!

A great summer treat for your 3-5 year old!:
Nina Crews' photographs combine the beautiful with the mundane to create a story to which all children can relate. We loved the contrast of the urban blacktop with the bright crisp green leaves, the little girl floating/dancing on raindrops, etc. There's always something new to discover in the photos. This is a talented new children's writer. It's evident that such talent is in her blood!
