Pros & Cons
Pros
I am a huge fan of illustrations but i think its important to provide books with real photographs of people to make it less abstract for children. My granddaughter loves looking at it!
The writing is cute and easy for a toddler to memorize and follow. It touches your humanity to read stories of people's lives. I do story time for very diverse groups of preschoolers and they love this book.
Cons
The narrative is a very generalized poem about little children that is more of the style of a baby board book. Its geared to small children and quite frankly, my 6yr old granddaughter is at a reading level past where this book lands.
The book is nothing like their facebook page. I love the fb page and the first book is great, but this is a disappointment. The pages are bent and ripped.
This is a gift so i am extremely disappointed. It's also incredibly short. Very disappointing.
Highlights
Quality
Love the story line that goes with the book
They are so engaged and excited by the photos
Competitiveness
The fullsize photographs are the obvious stars of the book but the accompanying text—a simple poem—serves them well

Dont buy this book expecting it to be like traditional humans of new york postsbooks with a backstory for each picture

This is a childrens book with only one line per page with a rhyming rhythmn to give it sort of a singsong feel as you read it out loud
