Some see this book at a lesson in Math. I see it as a way to teach young kids (mine were 4 & 6yo when we 1st read it) that we can have things in common with all sorts of different creatures, while still maintaining our individuality. I love this book and recommended it to all my friends who have kids aged 6yo and under.Beautifully illustrated, fun, and unique. Definitely add this to your family's collection and consider it as a gift for the next kid's bday party you're invited to. Very cute introduction to the concept of similarities and differences. There's nothing like a puffin. Certainly a newspaper is nothing like a puffin. Well, except it's black and white and so is a puffin, so maybe it's a *little* like a puffin. But a pair of jeans -- that's definitely nothing like a puffin. Jeans are blue and have pockets and two legs. But wait, a puffin has two legs, too! And so on. Gonna have to check this out for my girl.
What do You think about Nothing Like A Puffin (2011)?
I think the logic of this story will be lost on the child reading it.
