As a teacher, I loved sharing this book with my classroom as well as my own 3 children. The vivid illustrations and rhyming text kept our focus as we got to know Milo and his love for nature. Milo's adventures will take you through different seasons as you laugh along with his curious personality while simultaneously learning new vocabulary. We recommend that you get to know Milo and his family, too!

As a Special Education teacher I look for books that will engage my students. I found that students were engaged with Milo Loves the Park. The colorful illustrations and rhyming text held my student’s attention.
Also the changing colors of the leaves brought up a good discussion about the seasons of the year. My students liked seeing Milo’s picture over and over again in almost every page of the book.

I just purchased “Milo Loves the Park” by Nancy G. Braitman for my grandsons ages 2 1/2 and 1. I was first attracted to the adorable, whimsical dog, Milo, on the cover. The book is written in the format of a poem with ending rhymes and the illustrations are beautifully done in subtle, but bright primary colors.
The story flows through the telling of Milo’s day at the park, and all the fun things he got to do. Each page is different and gives the story reader opportunities to engage the young listeners by posing questions about story action and vocabulary, identifying and learning facts presented in the text, counting objects and learning colors just to name a few things.
I loved the book and can’t wait to sit and read it with my grandchildren. I’m also looking forward to reading future adventures of Milo in his next books.

Lovely and cute children's book to enjoy with children. I enjoy how it promotes a happy, go lucky dog who simply plays and has fun outdoors. It's a playful, lively, read with well done illustrations!

This was a fun book to read aloud to my 2 year old great niece. She enjoyed the rhyming verses, and the colorful pictures of Milo and his family held her attention through the whole book. I would highly recommend adding this book to your young child's reading collection.
