Re: Book - Treetures - Welcome Spring

Received a copy also. I like the idea, but I don't think it will work for 
most children.

I agree on the large difference between text and images. I'm also not sure 
any age would listen to the book being read. It is pretty technical and I 
thought a bit boring (my opinion), with no obvious places to emphasize or 
stop and do a little show and tell. The images are confusing and there are a 
lot of them introduced. I also looked to see if there would be some kind of 
a template to make a green heart...but there wasn't.

The whole book seemed very confusing to me...except I liked the concept...

This is all just my humble opinion.

I got a copy too. As a former teacher, seems to me to be a lot of contrast
between the dense info/text and the preschool images.  Agree that it is to
be read to children, not by them.

Personal opinion here:  I wouldn¹t purchase it if it was for sale.
