1: Young Kids Love This Book
My kids loved this book as toddlers and now they like to "read" it to their much younger cousins. I firmly believe that One Yellow Lion helped them learn their numbers and how to count. I often give this book as a baby gift.

2: Ummm, people - this is the poem by Belloc, not the book by Dahl
Apparently whoever put this page together doesn't grasp that it's about the poem by Hilaire Belloc, as illustrated by Posy Simmonds, not about Roald Dahl's book.
The poem is hilarious - one of Belloc's Awful Warning poems - and the illustrations of a beady-eyed, sneaky looking Matilda set it off beautifully. I recommend it highly!

3: Very Good for Children ages 0-61
I am a 61 year old grandmother and I still like this book. I bought my first for my 1st grandchild before he was born. He liked it right away. This book is simple, clever, very colorful and the pictures are charming. Through it children can learn colors, animals, numbers, counting and beginning reading.Tiny babies enjoy looking at the bright colors. Toddlers enjoy counting the animals. Pre-schoolers enjoy reading it to you.
The left hand pages say the number and the color. The right side pages show the number and unfold to become a picture of the animal. It is printed on heavy, shiny stock so it is sturdy and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Thirteen years of our family's grandchildren still enjoy their copies. In March another one will have their chance.

4: A Surprisingly Awful Book
Obviously from the German style of fairy tales, this book is beautifully illustrated, but somewhat horrifying for adult sensibilities. Children, however, did not seem nearly as horrified as the adults who read this book, suggesting the pictures of Madeline burning alive in her apartment was just part of the moral for them. An interesting read although not one I could wholeheartedly recommend to be read to children.

5: A book that everyone can 'READ'
I give this book as a gift to every 1 year old I know. It gets great reviews from both the parent and the child!
When my niece was 2 1/2 she love to "read" the book to me! My newphew took it to preschool on his 'show and tell' day... he wanted to show everyone he knew how to read.
It is a simple book... colors, counting, and animals (the illustrations are great).
