To use this with a toddler group it would be best to paper clip a few spreads together because this book is just a tad too long. But, the concept is easy to understand, the cutouts in the illustrations are fun and it's got constant opportunity for interaction with your audience. This is a great story time read aloud for a big group.

Round Like a Ball by Lisa Campbell Ernst is a die cut riddle book. Each page reveals another clue to what is being described. The book opens with an invitation to play a guessing game.

One by one the clues introduce children to another aspect of what makes the Earth the Earth. It's a nice gentle book that's a good way to get children talking about Earth sciences, geography, the environment, Earth day, and so forth.

Harriet picked out this book from the library. She enjoyed it enough to re-read it a few times before returning it. She also read it to me a couple times.
