Hello, Calico!

We love all the Calico books but this one is my favorite! The paintings are beautiful- much better to look at than computer illustrations. We love the rhymes and have been reading it for a couple of years.

We bought the Calico books because we have a Calico cat (who we call Calico - original, aren't we?) One of our daughter's first words was "Calico" so when I found these books, I had to get them. I loved them right away, actually received them at work and read them aloud to my co-workers. I really enjoy children's books that rhyme, and these books are no exception. They are so fun to read, and the words are simple enough that even the littlest kids pick up on the words right away.

this is my little boy's favorite book. he's 10months old now and has loved it since he was about 4 months old! the story is simple, easy to follow (when he's older, i suppose). the simple rhymes are rhythmic and set a nice pace. plus, it's easy to memorize so you don't have to look at the page to read it (which i love b/c my little man has started flipping pages). i also really appreciate the illustrations. they're full page, bright, colorful and all together lovely. i've seen so many children's books with big open white spaces in the illustrations...lots just left blank. and so many have really crappy illustrations. but these are beautiful and engaging. i hope you enjoy the book!
