Little Kid Reaction
My 3-year-old was intrigued by the pictures of the babies. He made observations about the babies, such as the "similarity" between the twins. My 1-year-old lost interest.
Parent Reaction
I felt that this would have "read" better if it had actually been a song with a melody. As it was, it was repetitive and a little "new age."
