I Love You: A Rebus Poem

Rating:
Summary: a wonderful book!
Review: My two-year-old son loves this book and could read it himself the second time through. He loves to be able to say "I read it!" and the content is great as well. The ghosts do not bother him at all because he hs not been taught that ghosts are supposed to be scary.

Summary: why the ghost??
Review: This book is great. The colors are bright and are of familiar and fun things (bunnies, sheep, etc). My 1 1/2 year old likes it. She can even identify some of the pictures in the rebus. I don't know if she knows she's helping me "read", but it's a fun, new way to read a book together. I would buy more books like this in a minute.

Summary: why the ghost??
Review: This is a terrific book, great illustrations and rhyming text, perfect for a 2-3 year old. My only objection is the verse about the ghost ("every ghost loves a BOO") with the not so friendly looking ghosts hovering around the gravestones. I think this is a difficult scene to explain to kids who haven't really experienced Halloween. In what other context could you explain this to a young child? I may be overly sensitive to this issue because of a death in our day care family, but I think I'll be more comfortable reading this book to my preschoolers after I glue the "ghost and BOO" pages together so that I can skip them entirely.

Summary: Great book for small children!
Review: We received this book as a gift, and I just bought another copy to give my niece. I would recommend it to anyone with small children. It's a cute and catchy rhyme with appealing illustrations. As an added bonus, my 4-yr-old likes to "read" it to his little brother!
