Summary and rating of 4.7

This series was first introduced to me in 2014.  It was one of the first books I reviewed and I have really enjoyed them.  I have read them to my students who have really enjoyed them.  The illustration, text and addition pop up words are really wonderful.  I highly recommend this book.

My Recommendation Not set
This is another winner from Margaret Hillert. It will be great for Valentine's Day, but it would also work for teaching colors--red in this case.	My Recommendation Not set
