Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Big Berry
Dan Yaccarino · 2016
74/100
👍 Worth It
A cheerful, well-targeted board book that delivers its gratitude lesson with a light touch and invites toddlers into the story through wordless spreads — a genuinely literacy-building design choice. The story is slight even by board-book standards, and the age window is narrow, but within that window it does exactly what it's meant to do. A solid lap-read choice for the preschool shelf.
