Negative Positive
Title: I don't understand why it's always recommended.
Review: There are so many better books out there. My toddler does in enjoy it, but I cringe when she asks me to read it. It's complete nonsensical (storyline and language) and I don't think it benefits a toddler's development. I don't care for the illustrations either. books i do like to read with my toddler: mini masters collection, most Eric Carle, Elusive Moose, Hush! A Thai lullaby, and most other books that "promote" language development and are well-illustrated.
