review 1: What a gift LITTLE POEMS FOR TINY EARS is! One is never too young to be introduced to poetry and the enrichment it brings to our lives. This charming book for babies and toddlers (and their parents, grandparents, and others) with its clever, endearing poems paired with colorful, captivating illustrations is—as Goldilocks says—“Just Right!” It's uplifting to read poems that relate so touchingly to a baby’s unique experience. Lin Oliver’s witty, empathic writing beautifully expresses a child’s sense of wonder and discovery. Tomie dePaola’s art aptly enriches the book, and perfectly matches Oliver’s odes. That Oliver articulates the newness of the world from a tiny child’s vantage point is especially appealing. How gratifying it must be for parents... more reading these verses aloud to their precious young, to communicate the sentiments they themselves must be feeling! I also love how thoughtful and multicultural LITTLE POEMS FOR TINY EARS is, in details small and large. The alluring illustrations and heartfelt words are pure pleasure for the eye and ear. The end page of fun stickers and delightful wrapping paper jacket complete this special gift of a book! Highly recommended.
review 2: This book is written for babies and toddlers. The text throughout this book is simple and clearly written. The poems have a rhyme scheme of AA BB. The rhyming words are simple with a bouncy playful sound. Each page has a brightly colored border which would attract a young child’s eyes. All of the activities are visual representations of common everyday baby activities. The illustrator does a good job paying very close attention to the tiny details. For example, all of the details are visually appealing to a baby. less
