The Day the Babies Crawled Away

Favorite book of both my 2 year-old and husband
This is a positive and fun book to read with an adventure for the babies and the preschooler who saves the day. It has enough repetitive language and the same babies, caterpillar, etc. appearing throughout the book that it has become my (almost) 2 year-old's favorite book. My four-year old likes it too and both my husband and I haven't gotten sick of it yet, despite memorizing the text and ...

You'll find something new upon each reading
My three year old daughter's favorite activity is reading, and she loves "10 Minutes till Bedtime" ever since she was two years old. The text is simple-- 10 minutes till bedtime, 9 minutes till bedtime, and so on. But the illustration is smart and funny. Every time we read the book, we find something that we've never noticed before. For example, we found the Candy Land game on one of the ...

A hoot
We love this book. It is so funny. It's certain to engage your little one and have you laughing together. I got it for my kindergartener, but my second grader loves it, too. It's just funny. As a mom, I like how it teaches (subtly) about jealousy between friends. In the end, Officer Buckle and Gloria are only dynamite when they are together as a team. And hearing my little ones ...

When I was 9 years old, I read this book at a daycare where I stayed. I read it every single day. One day, I remembered it, after forgetting for years, and came here to amazon.com. I was overjoyed to learn that yes, they had this book. Its a great story your kids or even you will love for years to come. I recommend this book for ages 1-100. You'l love it!

great book for little ones; boardbook/hardback differences
My 18-mo old loved this book so much when we checked it out from the library that we had to get our own copy. I don't think she really understands the story, but every page has some objects she can point to and name (keys, bed, etc) and she's even worked her way up to "go-ril-la." A month later we are still reading it several times every day. Be aware though, the board book version has a ...

Bootsie Barker Bites (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)

What a Character!
I absolutely love, or love to hate, Bootsie Barker. She conjures up all the feelings that come with being bullied, which helps the reader identify with the narrator that much more. I found myself thoroughly appreciating the narrator's daydreams of having awful things happen to Bootsie. The fact that the two mothers are friends and Bootsie is in her home on a regular basis, just adds to our ...

Such an enjoyable experience
My grandsons love this book and so do I. The details of the book are almost magical. The animals have toys and books in their cages. The keys on the key rings match up to the colors of the cages. As the animals follow "Mr. and Mrs. Zookeeper" across the lawn the neighbors in the windows of one of the houses go from one, to two, to three. The colors are beautiful and it is an enjoyable ...

Great illustration
This book does not have a written storyline with it. Instead it is a dad giving a 10 minute warning to his child. The story includes what the child has to do in those last 10 minutes to get ready for bed along with a bunch of hamsters that visit him. It is fun to look at all the illustrations and let my son make up his own story and notice all the little details in the illustrations. What this ...
