Five CreaturesI was pleased with the quality and low price of this book. I look forward to using it with my preschoolers to teach them about sorting.

When my daughter was 2 and 3, she didn't really "get" this book. But now that she's 4 we read it all the time; she likes pointing out to me which characters any given line of text is talking about (like, "I think the mommy is allergic to milk" or "I think the cats can open the cupboards."). She gets really engaged and we end up talking about all kinds of subjects when we read it, so I'm a big fan!

A charming, gentle book about a family... a family of 5; 3 humans and 2 cats. We don't have cats but the concept of pets being integrated in the family structure, emotionally and physically, is realistic and warm. I give it as a gift to families with pets. My 3 children and I enjoy figuring out which of the 5 members of the family likes milk, sleeps on beds, licks rather than kisses. The chalk drawings carry a diamond-theme in the center of the page throughout the book that is clever and effectively ties the pages togther. A lovely book.
