We've been reading this to the kid since birth, but she's really getting into it at around 20 months. Fun, lots of good detail, doesn't really get old for me. Although my theory about how the book is actually the kid's hallucination from eating poisonous berries is getting pretty elaborate. ( )

Overflowing with all types of berries and a perfect read for late summer, Jamberry captures the essence of rhyme, alliteration, and visual language. Degen’s text is abundant with sweet rhymes and frolicking rhythm; it’s all the fun of a tongue twister without being difficult to say aloud. I never tire of reading it aloud to C, even though I must say the word berry 30+ times! C loves the whimsical illustrations, including a blueberry waterfall and exploding berry fireworks.
