Apparently there are three other 'Zoe and Beans' books, however this is the first one we've read or heard of.
The illustrations are lovely and the characters very endearing. At first glance I thought the book was aimed more towards girls than boys, however after reading it I'd say it was suited to both.
The main character is a little girl named Zoe. Zoe finds what she thinks is a normal hoop and tries to get her dog Beans to jump through it. Once he reluctantly does so, magical things start to happen as he changes from one animal into another with each jump through the hoop.
My 4 and 6 year old girls found it highly amusing and were giggling aloud at each turn of the page, trying to guess what would happen next. This is a book that I enjoyed reading as much as they enjoyed listening to.
Full of magic and sillyness, it's perfect for sharing at bedtime!
My score: 5/5 Kids score: 5/5
Let me know what you think!
