Synopsis

A pretty red rose and a bunny’s pink nose. A spinning top and a dripping mop. An inquisitive young boy discovers that there are many wonderful things--some familiar, some surprising--to see at his house. He discovers, too, that seeing means opening your eyes to the world around you. Holly Keller’s simple rhyming text and bold illustrations turn everyday visions into heartwarming reveries.

From Booklist:

Gr. 1. Each line of text is short and rhyming: "I see a rose. / I see a nose." A boy walks along and sees all sorts of things, tops and mops, cats and mats. At the book's conclusion, he looks in a pond and sees his own reflection. It is Keller's precise ink-and-watercolor artwork that lifts this above an ordinary easy reader with a similar text. The pictures are crisp; there's plenty to see but the art will also keep new readers focused on the words. A snappy introduction to reading from the Green Light Reader series. Ilene Cooper
