This is the first time I have read a review for a children's book geared toward this young of an audience. I was wondering how they would go. Very insightful, I am not sure I would have thought to comment on the things the pictures are depicting or whether or not the words were age appropriate. Great review!

I think James and the Birthday Balloon is an interesting book. The cover illustration is very appealing. I like children's stories and I think the theme of friendship in this book is just awesome. Great review!

Very good review. The book does sound like it's for much younger readers; however, it does sound like it covers a very important topic: hospital visits.

I would surely read this book to my 4-year old girl. I showed her some pages and she like it because of the pictures. Thank you for this review.

I wish I was young to fit this book. However, I'm still happy that it can be fun for all; the content may be too juvenile for older readers to enjoy. Thanks for this review.
