Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It's so hard to figure out the concept of time
My two girls have both adored this book. It helped both of them while they were struggling with the concept of time (which holidays bookmark the different points of the year). The holidays are Christian (Christmas and Easter) so it's not the most multicultural but is still a very sweet book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a fabulous book for preschoolers
I got this book for my 3 year old daughter at a used book sale, and had just started looking for one for my niece. I'm so glad to see it's back in print. This gently told story satisfies both the need to know what is coming and the need for repetition for toddlers and preschoolers. My daughter is now four, and we read it at least once a week.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Book to be Cherished, as it is read over and over.
"Over and Over," by Charlotte Zolotow, is an exquisite picture book, first published in 1957, that can be read to a child of two or three or four or five, until the child can read it to herself. But the prose of the text is so well-written, almost poetic, that if Mommies- or Daddies-to-be have especially mellifluous voices, it can even be read to the child in utero.

The holidays and seasons, as seen through the eyes of a very little girl, are half-remembered, but experienced anew well ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Terrific book!
I had the same experience as one of the other reviewers. I found this book in the library after not seeing it for 25 years. I had just loved the pictures and the descriptions of warm doughnuts, jack-o-lanterns, chocolate eggs and other seasonal delights. You won't be able to choose which holiday is your favorite!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a delightful, comforting book
This is a book that my children and I return to "over and over." The illustrations are warm and beautiful, and the evocation of a small child's world and sense of time is magical.
