I was really disappointed in this book

I was really disappointed in this book. It's really just a plagiarized version of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See.

Great preschool book!

I love that it encourages prediction for preschoolers by giving hints about what will be on the next page. Interesting for all children, but simple enough for children with language difficulties.
