Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Wide and Narrow

48/100
👎 Skip It

This does its job — a tidy 24-page photo book that teaches kindergartners the difference between wide and narrow — but there's almost nothing here beyond the concept itself. Classroom libraries need a copy; home shelves probably don't. It's a curriculum staple, not a book a child will ask to hear again.
