Picture This

 By Alison Jay

This book isn't half bad.  It has a number of people, toys, animals and objects that are hidden in each page.  The pictures weave together and the story is almost circular and encompasses the four seasons.
 The art style is mid to late nineties.  Each page has cracks on it, like it's been painted on an old plate or something.  It was a trendy look at one time, but it's kind of hokey now.

The words are great for learning to read!  So that's kind of nice.  We're getting into 3 and 4 letter words, but a whole sentence is too tricky.
 My daughter is all like, "WHY ARE ALL THE PAGES BROKEN!  OH NO!"

But, it hasn't caused us any more grief than that.  As a basic picture book for a three year old, it's pretty boring.  I think it's meant for someone at least five years old.  My daughter really didn't understand how one picture led to the other.
