BTHM WTFY 2012 button

As you know, we LOVE Sheri's Little Rose books
So we were thrilled to be able to review her latest addition to the series!

Synopsis: Exploring the Garden with the Little Rose is based on the #1 best-selling book, The Little Rose, and takes children on an educational adventure! Your little one will have fun learning the alphabet and identifying the plants and animals of the garden while exploring our natural world alongside the Little Rose.

Review: When Kiddo saw what had come in the mail, she literally jumped for joy! She LOVES The Little Rose books! Then she saw it was an alphabet book and she could not wait til bedtime to read it! By the time we sat down to read it, she had gone through the book at least 6 times by herself! It was very funny to have her 'read' it to me, based on what she could figure out from pictures and the words!

I was thrilled to see that she remembered the lessons from the previous books, and mentioned them when we came to weeds and roses! As always, the illustrations are very cute and enchanting, and very kid friendly- Mary has outdone herself again! 
If you are looking for an adorable book to add to your child's Christmas list, or to give as a baby present, this would be a wonderful one to give (in fact, I'd give the whole series)!
