*I won a copy of this through goodreads*

I liked that rhymes, they were cute. I did not like the illustrations; they were not cute.

A cute story. However, I would love to see new graphics that look a bit less like MS Paint.

I won a copy of this adorable little book in a first reads giveaway. My 4 year old daughter really enjoyed it. After asking me to read it twice, she took out her blocks and started to try to recreate some of the block creations in the book. She especially liked the idea of building a firetruck out of blocks. I thought it was a cute read that encourages kids to use their imaginations to create.

Very imaginative and fun! The story was easy enough to read, and my kindergartener really enjoyed being able to sound out the words!

Great Book

Great book for introducing preschoolers to engineering and teaching them about imagination and that they can be anything they want to be.

A social story that introduces the blocks center. Detailed pictures show different vehicles and buildings to build. It even covers having to clean up.
