Beautiful book (but the paperback binding sucks!)
This is an absolutely magical, lovely book, both in the text and illustrations.
Brilliant Illustrations, Accurate Story
This lively story tells the meaning of Dia de los Muertos--honoring loved ones--with beautiful illustrations, a good mixture of English and Spanish text, and accuracy. Great teaching tool.

A Beautiful Tribute to a Mexican Holiday

Don't Feed the Monster...
I think this is a great book with such a great message. I plan on reading this to my son as much as possible! This is a great book to start reading early on to help children better accept themselves, etc.

Dr. Seuss's The Foot Book
I ordered this rhyming book to read to my 11 month old. She likes to look at it by herself also and the pages are sturdy and colorful.

The Foot Book by Dr. Suess
This book is one of a kind! It's colorful and creative! It goes to show that opposites do attract! I would recommend it for any young first beginners in reading!

NOT the book you know and love!
This is a nice enough board book, but be advised that it is NOT the full version of Dr. Seuss' book!They've left out several (charming!) pages of text and illustrations for the Board Book...What a disappointment to loyal fans, and how unfair to the newest generation of fans-to-be. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Parents will be quick to jump to the conclusion that there can benothing appealing in a tale of an ugly kid who breaks things. And certainly--from that adult perspective--there's something off-putting about the illustrations of David, with his potato head, feral eyes, and a maniacal grin that exposes ferociously pointed teeth. But 3- and 4-year-olds see things differently, and will find his relentless badness both funny and liberating."No, David," wails the off-stage mother, as David reaches for the cookie jar. "No! No! No!" as he makes a swamp out of the bathroom. "Come back here, David!" as he runs naked down the street. Each vivid double-page illustration is devoted to a different youthful indiscretion and a different vain parental plea. Readers will be amused to know that the protagonist's name is no accident: award-winning writer-illustrator David Shannon wrote the book after discovering a similar effort that he had made, again with himself at the center of each drawing, at the age of 5. (Ages 3 to 6) Read more

Yes, David, I love you
I don't know why my sixteen-month old daugter loves this book.Perhaps it's the repetition, or illustrations, or the emphasis with which the phrases are read.I DO know that she now has an insatiable interest in books, uses the word 'no' appropriately, and anticipates the resolution at the end of this and "David Gets in Trouble."
It makes my kids laugh with delight, that makes it a five for me
Some reviewers take this stuff way too seriously!The book is hilarious, my kids giggle everytime they read it.And, my three year old can read it, which makes her feel great.David isn't evil, I don't see him portrayed as evil, and if he is, my kids are evil also because lord knows they have done almost everything in there themselves, the lesson is that we love and adore our kids even if they are misbehaving!

kids LOVE it
I didn't really get this book at first since there is little writing and just these big, somewhat scary illustrations.Just goes to show you that children's books are FOR CHILDREN, because my kids, 4 and 2, LOVE David.They scream and giggle when they see the bad things he's doing, and throughout the day they will "remind" themselves not to do something "bad like David."They can look at the illustrations and create whole stories out of one page.I think that is what the beauty of the book is truly about.As I started reading it with them, I became charmed by the crude, simple drawings, and just how expressive David is, even though he's not more than a stick figure.The first time we read it, I just read the words on each page.I had to explain one or two pictures, but they completely got the ending themselves.The very next time, I asked them what they thought was going on in each picture and they went crazy telling me all about the things David was doing, and why that's not allowed and what he should be doing instead!They truly never tire of this story, and I wouldn't have guessed that at all when I first picked this title up.Contrary to what some other reviewers said, David doesn't inspire bad behavior or copycat actions.That's the whole point of reading it with them.I don't think some of the other books in the series are as inspired as this first one, but that may just be because I was spoiled by how much we all love this one. ...

Another essential and timeless classic!
I have to admit that I never really "got" all the hype about "Where the Wild Things Are".Sure the drawings were great, but the story never really drew me in.Now that I've seen and read "In the Night Kitchen" I am the biggest Sendak fan!The beauty of this particular story is that you can start reading it to your child at any age.The rhythm and cadence make it a perfect read aloud bedtime store.The drawings are amazing -- reminiscent of "Little Nemo In Slumberland".
Strange, but my son's favorite
When we first got this book, I was skeptical. The story is a bit surreal. But my child LOVES it! He loves the chants, and I think he likes it being a dreamscape, it gives him something new to think about. He insists on it every night! Sendak has touched the pulse of children again, though to adults it may just look strange.

On Heavy Rotation
I just bought this book for my [...] son and we love it. I am actually jealous that I did not get to experience this book as a child with an unlimited imagination. However, it did not take me long to suspend my adult mind and fall 'into the night kitchen'. This is a fantastical adventure via a dream had by "mickey" the main character of the story. Mickey must help these bakers make the morning cakes!He does so in a series of what may seem like bizarre events. First he falls from his bed into the (beautifully illustrated)night kitchen, into the vat of batter being turned by the bakers and into ( OH NO!) the mickey oven! It took me about two reads to find a lyrical flow that was comfortable for me, as I found it a little choppy at first, however it never seemed to bother my little guy. Prior to getting this book for our son , I had no idea that it was stirring up a little controversy. It would be a shame for someone to pass on this book because reviews deemed it odd or non sensical or (dare I say) immoral, b/c we all know by now Mickey is nude. The best treasure we could give to any child is a collection of books, this book is definitely a gem in that treasure. It is currently on heavy rotation along with Where the Wild things are, Strega nona, and I stink ! ... Read more

We love this book!
The rhyme of Five Little Pumpkins is SO easy to read and memorize, the board book holds up very well, and the illustrations are very endearing--the jack-o-lantern faces are expressive and the colors are beautiful.This book made my 20-month-old son a jack-o-lantern fan, and I haven't gotten tired of reading it to him yet!

DELIGHTFUL LITTLE BOARD BOOK

Halloween Board Book Not To Miss!
Dan Yaccarino captures the essence of Halloween with simple, yet expressive pictures of pumpkins, ghosts and a black cat. My one year old son Ryan loves it when i read the story of the Five Little Pumpkins. He points to all the different pumpkin faces and loves their orange glow. The book wipes clean and withstands being dragged all over the house! I am a big fan of Dan Yaccarino's work, love his cartoon Oswald, so this book is a big Halloween fun delight! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Froggy is distracted. At home his mother has to remind him to do his homework, and at school his teacher chides him for not paying attention. But how can he? Halloween is next week and he must come up with a great costume. How about Super Frog? "Flying high over the city.Faster than a dragonfly! Stronger than a bullfrog!" Or perhaps something scarier: Count Von Frogula! But then his mom reminds him that vampires have fangs, and that Froggy is a toothless wonder. Froggy has a lot of spooky thoughts on his mind, that's for sure; little does he know just how scary his Halloween will be!Jonathan London hones in on the joys and horrors of Halloween for the young, especially for boys who are not prepared for the amorous attentions of girls. He and Frank Remkiewicz (Read more

Froggy's Halloween is rated number one
Our first grade class rated all of Jonathon London's Froggy books.Froggy's Halloween was rated the favorite Jonathon London book.Jonathon London has made reluctant readers excited about reading.Kids love watching Froggy get into trouble.

Froggy's Halloween
I purchased this book for my two sons ages 2 and 4.I am incredibly disappointed in this book.Jonathan London should be ashamed of this title.If you as a parent think it is funny for the text to teach your child "trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat; if you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear" then buy it.Otherwise, boycott this book for all the right reasons!!!Truly distasteful and offensive literature.

Ready for Halloween?
It's almost Halloween and Froggy still can't decide what costume to wear.Should he be super frog, ghost frog or vampire frog?How about a football player, cowboy or even a zombie.All week he gets ready for Halloween, carving pumpkins and hanging spider webs and ghosts.He's even practiced saying "Trick or treat, smell my feet./Give me something good to eat."Finally when the big day comes, Froggy decides to be the Frog Prince, complete with crown and sword.Now he's off for a scary evening of tricks, treats, surprises and fun.....No one captures the essence of a busy pre-schooler as well as Jonathan London and Frank Remkiewicz.Mr London's lively text is full of sound effects, energy and humor and complemented by Mr Remkiewicz's bold, bright and expressive artwork.Together they've authored a clever and entertaining story about an engaging character that your little "Froggy" will easily identify with.This is the perfect read aloud story to help everyone get into the Halloween spirit. Froggy's Halloween is part of a marvelous series that youngsters just can't get enough of.Read them all and enjoy! ... Read more

Fun Book
It is a fun book, lots of colors and pop ups.However, the pop ups are thin and I can see a child easily grabbing them and tearing them off.It is a good, entertaining book though.

I Really Like The Theory Represented In This Book, BUT..........
No pun intended, BUT I have a problem with the word fart.
A Great Addition...
I bought this book for my daughter & we really enjoyed reading it.It was so funny that I had to share it with my sister & her baby boy.Clearly, she loved the book just as much as we did because she never returned it!So, now I have to buy it again, because it is a great addition for any child's library.

Hilarious!
This book is the funniest book ever!It also happens to be a great way of explaining the very human function of gas in a nice, simple way (which makes it great for kids).I have to admit, I buy it for my adult friends (who happen to have kids) and they get a huge kick out of it.Everyone Poops is a good one too, but this one is a classic. ...

One of my favorite
My toddler LOVES this book. And the term Be-bo is affectionately used in our house because of this book.You can't go wrong with any Sandra Boynton books but this one is very fun to read.

Love the hippos and their belly b's!
My son, husband and I all love the Belly Button Book!It is so fun to read, funny, and the hippos are so cute!My son is 19 months-old and loves all the Sandra Boynton books.They keep the attention of younger kids and have great pictures.

My baby loves this book!
The product information for this book says "ages 4-8."I would guess that kids that age would enjoy it, but it isdefinitely written for little kids to have read to them by parents, who will love it just as much.It's a board book, so the youngest in your family can chew on it to their heart's content.It's cute.It's funny.It contains puns adults will get without making the kids feel left out.It has a nice rhythm and rhyme.It's just generally a great deal of fun!!!! ...

Wonderful for learning
Our son started "playing" with these when he was 9 months old.They are just beautiful as other reviews say and they have helped our son learn his animals.He spends endless amounts of time sorting through them, looking at them (he loves the pictures) and carrying them around the house.Now at 15 months he can pick some of the animals out the pile and bring them to you when you ask.Since he's learning both spanish and english if you ask for the horse in either language he will sort through them until he finds it and then bring it to you (very proudly I might add).He would not have learned this much about animals without these cards!Well worth the $10.

beautiful pictures
The pictures are gorgeous.The cards are large enough for little hands to handle easily and sturdy enough to resist bending.My 2.5 y/o son got around that, of course, by dropping them on the floor and prancing around on them.He loves to name the animals on the cards and does his little dance on them each time he is finished.They held up well and are only slightly bent here and there.Definitely a good investment.

Beautiful Pictures!
The cover does not do these flash cards justice.The pictures are absolutely beautiful.The cards are very sturdy & hold up well to little hands.The kids love naming the animals and are happy looking through these on their own.Only drawback - they get spread out all over.It would be great if they were on a binder ring! ...

Loved it!
This book was great, silly fun!My 5-year old granddaughter loved it.

Fun For All
I bought this book because like all parents I find myself reading more books at bedtime than all the books on the NY bestseller list combined.It also makes light of books I have read a million times, and my girls recognize the plot or characters. But then they interrupt me to tell me I skipped a page or ask what happened to so-and-so.I think my husband and I enjoy the book more than my daughters. ... Read more

Delightful
I read this book as part of an assingment for a class (Children Resources for Children and Young Adults). I loved it. I am also currently taken Ojibwe and enjoyed how the authors incorportated Ojibwe words. The illustrations are simple, yes, but add charm to the well told (or rather retelling) of the origin of the lady slipper.
a little heroin from the North country
This beautifully illustrated edition of the Ojibway legend lends itself easily to reading outloud to groups of children in the classroom or anywhere else.The colorful pictures help the flow of the story, both of which help hold the youngsters spellbound.Young children identify with the characters in the story and having one of their own age group in a situation of bravery and steadfast love empowers them.Excellent book.

Ma-ki-sin-waa-big-waan, the Moccasin Flower
This is such a pretty book that tells the tale of the Ojibwe legend of the laddy slipper or moccasin flower. The illustrations are simple and colorful and greatly add to the folk atmosphere of the book. A little girl must go on a heroic journey through a freezing wintry night to find healing herbs when her whole village is stricken with terrible disease. She is encouraged along her route by the spirits of the stormy environment who speak to her in the Ojibwe tongue. This is an exciting and satisfying story and makes an excellent conversation starter to teach little ones about communing with the elements of Nature. ... Read more

Hilarious Book
I loved this book! It is a great book with a fun twist to the original I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly! This book is great for kids and adults!!!

Kids love getting fat!
I'm a music teacher for grades K-3. Never have I seen kids react so intensely to a sing-along book as they did for all the "I Know an Old Lady..." books. This one especially sparks kids' minds and brings so many other subjects into play. Kids like talking about Thanksgiving as it's one of the few holidays both kids and teachers openly celebrate. This book brought about questions of traditional food and activites as well as the health repercussions of stuffing ourselves. In the end, kindergarten through third grade eyes will sparkle to see the Old Lady grow into a balloon!

Great Story
I've only read the reviews of this book and it sounds great! I'm actually too old to be reading these kinds of stories but I just love how the old ladies in the "who swallowed a..." books get fatter and fatter. If only I could actually read the book. Gotta work on getting this book and some of the other related books! ... Read more

Gorgeous and Charming
A black-and-white picture book that is more gorgeous than any color book I've seen in a long time. Henkes' kitten is charming and beautifully drawn; the text is simple enough for a child to memorize but as rhythmic and elegant as haiku. A great book to read aloud at bedtime. Deserves the Caldicott medal fifty times over. My two-year-old niece was captivated by the bold lines of the illustrations; my four-year-old nieces loved the simple but clever story about the kitten who longs for that little bowl of milk waiting for her in the sky - the full moon.

I'd read good reviews about this book, but I found it very

Great Way Of Sneaking In Math!
My daughter has always had a problem learning Math but reading this book (along with the others in this series) has helped her immensely! The books themselves are a bit young for her but the concepts in them (Pi, Geometry, etc) are explained in a way I think she needed.
Sir Cumference andthe First Round Table
This little book appeared to be very clever and well illustrated, however the quality, colors and illustrations were not what I had expected.

This is a great book!!!

Great for Helping Little Ones (and Their Parents) Grow Sleepy
I used this book a lot when my own kids were small. It would usually have me yawning within the first couple of pages. It is highly suggestive and has a hypnotic effect on both the reader and the listener.

Get This Seuss!
If you only get one Dr. Seuss book to read to your child, get this one! Not only has it been helping get children to sleep for generations, it is does not have the tongue-twisting rhymes that make some of his books a challenge to read aloud. Instead, The Sleep Book puts both parent and child into the mood to sleep, peacefully dreaming of Dr. Suess creatures who are also going to sleep, so how about you?

My Favorite Dr. Seuss Book Ever!! By Laura G.
Some people say that this book was too long, while others said that The Cat in the Hat is better.I love this book.It was my mother's favorite as a child and she shared it with me and I'm so glad she did.I love all the characters.You can't read this book and not want to fall asleep...all the yawning in this book makes it a perfect bedtime story.An all time Seuss classic that shouldn't be overlooked!!!!!A must have for any Seuss collector!! ...
