My Review

I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review.

Outside, Inside is a different kind of children’s book. The pictures are colorful but not typical. They kind of remind me of something out of the seventies. There’s not a lot of text, this is mostly a picture book, but you can tell by the pictures that Birdie is looking for someone, and at the end he finds his friends and they have a surprise for him.

Outside, Inside is different but cute. Children should like the colorful illustrations. Because the vocabulary is simple, young readers will especially enjoy it.

 

Available on Amazon.
