I loved this so much. I wish I could've had this around the house as a child, I would've read and re-read this endlessly.
I love how cohesive it is in its packaging, and I think this book would be great for all age levels to be honest. Like I think this would still be really interesting and engaging if you couldn't read the words, and as you return and return to the pictures and stories you'll gain more each time. I also love the pacing of the stories page-to-page, and you can really tell Tan has an incredible grasp over when and how to deploy his illustrations. Frequently I was delighted to turn the page and to find a beautiful spread that I hoped for but didn't expect.
My favourite story is probably Alert but not Alarmed, which is also my favourite sub 500 word story ever
