Praise for Nuts!
Vibrant, mixed-media animals and hints of landscaping are easy to follow against cream-colored pages. There are ladybugs and bees to count, a snail's progress to track, and a minimal text in a large font; these elements, combined with the theme, make this a title that will serve young children well, visually and conceptually...This memorable story will help toddlers (and caregivers) connect behavior to the language of sharing.
