**My thoughts**
I like the concept behind this book. It's designed to be a board book that you can easily strap onto a stroller to allow the child to page through it and read, while being less likely to drop it and lose it along the way. Because I reviewed a digital galley, I cannot speak to the sturdiness of the board book, nor the convenient strap. But I can talk about the content within.
It's very short, with illustrations of familiar objects in the child's environment and the associated vocabulary. The illustrations are sweet and simple, which is perfect for the younger child. And the color scheme is simple. But I found that the backgrounds, while cute, were rather distracting from the main picture and often made it difficult to read the words on the pages. It got too busy for my taste and I think detracts from the purpose of this book.
But at the same time, I do think young children will enjoy looking at the illustrations. I gave it three stars overall.
Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing me with a review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
