Great Fun - By: H. Jones, 15 Jun 2007 
I thought this would be a "baby" book as it wasin board formatin our library: but it isn't! Really fun rhymes "Timothy Pope, Timothy Pope, Is looking through his telescope" And very witty illustations. Good for directions too (left, right, up & down) which are repeated often.
It's good for predication too - getting my 3 yr old to think what the shape could be if it wasn't a shark's fin...
I'd say it was a good toddler read 2 1/2 to about 4 possibly. After that it may have a short shelf life apart from early readers.
absolutely gorgeous. - By: , 12 Jul 2002 I bought this very funny book for a third birthday present because it had instant appeal for me. It was funny, uncomplicated & had little surprises here & there as well as the big surprises seen through the "portholes"in alternate pages. I carefully read it to my nearly 3 year old before wrapping it & he loved it. So did the 5 year old brother of the birthday boy, who got hold of it first & read it to his friend. I don't know at what age this book would get too easy, but it is so bold & well illustrated that I would recommend it for any 2-6 year old at least. The print is also big, & partly rhyming, partly repetetive, so it would make a great early reader too.
