Beautiful and Fun

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I heard the title, "You Stole My Name Too." It sounded like it might be about a pouty child who met someone with the same name or something. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the book. It's a large picture book. Oversized actually. It's all about how plants and animals share the same name. Sometimes there is an obvious reason and sometimes there's not. It's written in rhyme with absolutely stunning illustrations. Children will love this book to be read to them over and over. Parents will enjoy the gorgeous pictures. What's fun about it is that it allows for great conversations. It's educational yet entertaining too. I highly recommend this book!
