As a learning tool I liked this book a lot. The illustrations, while simple, are feature-rich. Any parent could use this as a great book to teach about colors, animals, and maybe even more complex concepts.
On the downside, Ed Baker could have made the text a little larger and easier to read. The font used looks like it is a variation on Comic Sans. This is not a great font for clarity. Young readers need clear and easily identifiable letters.
If you have a young child who is ready to start the learning-to-read process, give The Story Of Kitten Cuckoo a try. There is also a great web site done in the same style as the book. The website contains a very addictive version of the arcade game Pong. The paddles are kittens and the ball is a ball of yarn! Both young and old can enjoy this.
