Summary: While on a walk with his mother, a little boy shouts, “Mama, look!”, as he discovers animals, bugs, and birds in his surroundings. 

Review: This is a wonderful short story that is perfect for themed storytimes about spring, outdoors, nature, or animals. The simple extra-large text names what the little boy sees and extra-large, colorful illustrations are beautifully detailed.  The 2nd of the two page spread gives a hint of what the little boy will encounter next and is a wonderful way for children to learn to predict what they think is coming next.  I can see children having fun shouting what the boy sees as the reader turns the page. Because the little boy encounters 14 different creatures, this would also be a great book to use as a flannel story.
