Midwest Book Review
This visually-appealing board book earned an immediate nod and drool of approval
from my two-year old daughter when she first laid eyes on the book. Then, she was
10 months, and at 15 months, she continues to enjoy it. Initially, she became stimulated
by the bright and interesting patterns, shapes, colors and abstract objects. Now,
she also responds to the familiar words, like "Look," "Up" and "Down," to name a
few. This book spans several age categories and will continue to be of interest as
she becomes able to identify and point out the shapes, colors and objects in the
spreads, and ultimately, answer the questions about them which are part of the text.
"Look!" highly promotes interaction between the parent and young child and fosters
good "together" reading habits for parents/children.Kyra Teis utilizes a variety
of interesting colors, designs and media in her paper- collage technique illustrations.
"Look" is a definite must-have in any diaper bag to share in tender moments as well
as times when distraction becomes necessary.
All Together Now!
Teis' artwork is abstract and fluid...A very creative book!

I've never paid much attention to board books, except as potential baby shower gifts
and sub-rights opportunities. I'm not a mom, and I've never used them with a child
or, for that matter, recommended one on my site or blogs before.However, Look! just
enchanted me. I found myself thoroughly engaged. "[C]an you see the lines that wiggle?"
Yep, there they are!Teis' abstract art is just spectacular. I can easily imagine
any of the illustrations in a home or gallery. My inner toddler was wowed!
