REVIEW All Around Bustle Town - Winter

This is a book our little ones keep pulling out of the stack at reading time. That's interesting since there isn't one word of copy in the entire book. Instead, kids find all sorts of characters and items to look for, again and again, on every page. 
The back cover lists 16 different items and people they can search for throughout the pages.
Since "Where's Waldo" is a regular favorite here, "All Around Bustle Town - Winter" is well loved for some of the same reasons.


From the Publisher
Winter has arrived and everywhere you look people are embracing the season. At home there's baking, reading, and sleeping in, while on the farm the fields are fallow and quiet. Outside people are bundled up against the cold as they are skating, sledding, and running to catch a crowded bus. The town's buildings are alive with activity--piano lessons, a dentist appointment, shopping for presents, and visiting the museum. And if you look closer, you'll recognize the same characters on page after page, each with their own story. Wilfred the jogger has lost his keys, and Erica is shopping for a Christmas tree. Each minutely detailed scene is bursting with different people, such as a cheerful lady with an umbrella and a young violinist, as well as animals and birds. In the tradition of Richard Scarry and Where's Waldo, this book encourages kids to return again and again to these charming spreads, following along with the characters and inventing their own stories. They'll recognize parts of their own world, while also learning about the endless ways we live, work, and play in the winter.

This book was provided by the publisher for my honest review.
