Recently Tradewind Books sent me a book to review and one to use for a give-away. They sent me the children’s book, “On My Way” by Kari-Lynn Winters and illustrated by Christina Leist. I shared it with my 2 year old Luke tonight, and he just loved it. It was such a fitting and relative book for us because we take a lot of walks, and live in the country. This book follows a small child as he walks with his mother and his dog in the country. Luke loved that the dog looked like one of our dogs, Delilah. It was a great book because even though the words on each page were few, the content allowed us to talk about our own experiences. For instance the child sees a frog and we talked about how we see frogs on our walks. He was delighted seeing a little boy like him, seeing the same things he does, on his walk. It was a short, pleasant read and was just perfect for spurring conversation in a toddler or pre-schooler. The illustrations are charming and amusing, like when the dog is licking the boy’s ice cream cone. We give this book 2 thumbs up, oh wait, 4 thumbs up!!!
