Book Review: An old favorite
Summary: 5 Stars

This was one of my favorite books as a child. It's great for beginning readers.

Book Review: New Version is abridged
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great book BUT the current edition is badly edited from the original - I was very disappointed to find that the birds and the types of houses and many other pages are not in the new version. Anybody have an original copy they would like to sell?

Book Review: The Best Word Book Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this book as a gift for my son when he was 1 year old. He didn't read it until he was about 18 months. Now he is 3 years old and loves this book. It talks about getting up in the morning, washing face, hands, making the bed, changing clothes, going to eat breakfast, etc. It also talks about the Supermarket, school, at the beach, camping, etc. It is a great book. My son really enjoys it. He remembers Kenny Bear and tries to be like him. I recently bought this book as a gift for a friend. I would give this book to others as well. I highly recommend it!

Book Review: Not quite the same as the first edition
Summary: 4 Stars

If you grew up with this book you might notice a few changes, so be warned. All references to Native Americans have been removed, as well as soldiers and other subtle things to make the book much more politically correct. I'm not sure if the changes were made by the illustrator himself before his death, or at least were authorised by him ... if not, it would be a travesty.

However, it's still a wonderful book which all kids should have in their fledgling libraries.
