All Year Round is an adorably written children's book filled with rhyming words and shapes. Both of my kids enjoyed this book and the story made my son smile, which is saying something because most of the time he doesn't like the words only the images. The colors and fonts are bright and I really loved the subtle teaching of the shapes and seasons.
The rhyming words made it fun to read and at times made my kids laugh. Which to me is a win, if a book can teach and make kids enjoy themselves as they read, then it's a perfect book. The whole book had a very whimsical vibe to it. I will say however, this book is more for the younger children, the reason I say this is mainly because of the easier words.
If your children are younger and love bright colored books with a great sing song vibe, then All Year Round is the perfect book for them.
As a mother I give All Year Round an Ali's Bookshelf...
