I Went Walking Childrens Book

The book was purchased for my daughter who had to read it over the summer for 1st grade. She loved the book and best of all I ordered it one day and it came to my home the next. Thanks for the quick service I will buy from here again.

GREAT book!

We LOVE this book. My 16 month old son really does love this book...the text is repetitive (I went walking. What did you see? I saw a "fill in the name of the animal" looking at me). The illustrations are also wonderful...Julie Vivas also illustrates a children's book on the Nativity. I would love to frame her artwork. :)

Great Toddler Reading!

This book is wonderful. The younger children love the lilting meter of the poetry and the repetitive phrasing. Aside from the somewhat creepy and androgenous main character, the illustrations are beautiful. The pictures show the animals hiding, allowing older children to guess the animal before it is revealed on the following pages. Older children are also able to recite along with the repetitive phrasing, allowing them to feel like real "readers."

good for storytime

I agree with the other positive reviews. I just wanted to add that I used this book with a preschool storytime, and I followed it up with a sort of reader's theater. Each child was assigned one of the animals in the book. I took a walk around the room and said, "I went walking." The children all replied, "What did you see?" I held up a card with a picture of the animal on it. They say, "I saw a _____ (black cat, etc.) looking at me!" and then the children assigned that animal got up and followed me on my walk. We continued on this way until we had all the animals in a line, and then we had quick animal parade around the library, making our animals' noises. It was a hit!

I Went Walking

My toddler loves the book because of the repetition, and his loving it is really what matters. To me,it reminds me too much of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin/Eric Carle. The illustrations are mediocre and there are only six animals in the book.

A young child goes for a walk and discovers a colorful parade of animals along the way. ?What a charmer. . . . An excellent story hour choice.?--Booklist
