Trust me, it's not as cool as it sounds...
THREE PROS
*Checks off a lot of the interactive boxes, ranging from lift-the-flap to touch-and-feel
*I wish more books employed scratch and sniff technology (good call on the black licorice too)
*Renee Khatami closed as strong as she possibly could with her nod to bedtime and the stars above

THREE CONS
*Is about as colorful, metaphorically, as the hue it chose to focus on
*I wish this book employed scratch and sniff technology that lasted over a year (it was only published in 2011)

*The majority of things she picked to represent black are not automatic associations in my view (why not a panther instead of a bunny, why not a limo instead of a dress)
ONE DAD'S OPINION
Of the eleven songs on Pearl Jam's epic album, Ten, I would argue that Black has best stood the test of time (excluding radio airplay as a metric). Eddie Vedder is somehow simultaneously crisp and understated in his delivery, yet the track does not lack for power (thanks some bold vocal and guitar riffs). In a nutshell, the title almost perfectly defines the music. Khatami's effort, while relatively understated, does not seem to bring the crispness or power I'm looking for in a board book. And that's why I have already forgotten having read it; meanwhile, I will remember the seminal grunge album for the rest of my life.
