Disney's Little Einsteins: Galactic Goodnight (Little Einstein)

Customer Reviews:

wonderful book about the solar system.......2007-09-21

The book is great - my three year olds enjoy it so much, even their older brother (age 5) loves it. The viewer is easy to use and the pictures/story is great!

Great book!.......2007-06-22

Our space obsessed 4 year old loves this book- it has the great spinning picture thing on top that he loves looking in- reminds me of the viewmaster things we had as kids!

Not what I expected.......2007-05-29

This book has the same title as a Little Einstein episode that my son loves. I ordered the book expecting to have the same story but it is not the same! Not even close! My son was asking for the Mars rover and they don't even land on Mars in the book. Then he wanted to see Rocket trying to fall asleep but Rocket isn't having trouble sleeping in the book! They changed the entire storyline! How do you explain that to a 2.5 yr old?

Plus Pluto is still in this book... shold be discounted.

books not as good as the show..........2007-01-12

My 3 year old daughter LOVES the Little Einsteins. Unfortunately, the availability of their merchandise is limited, so I have bought her a few of their books. As a former teacher, I have been disappointed with them for the most part. They are boring and would be difficult to follow without an adult due to the conversation bubbles on each page. The books are not nearly as stimulating as the show is and the story lines are a bit pathetic. The photo reel on this book is neat, but I find my daughter's attention is not focused as I read this book to her. Stick to the t.v. show and skip these books.

thumbs down.......2007-01-10

My daughter loves Little Einsteins, but we were dissapointed in this item. She doesn't pay much attention to it.

Annie's Garden - A Great Book for My Toddler.......2007-05-13

My daughter really likes looking at this book. She enjoys telling us what things are and has fun lifting the flaps on each page.

Lacking.......2007-01-30

My 1 year old son loves the Little Einsteins show, so I bought him this book. I am sorely disappointed with the book, and my son doesn't care for it. It's a complete ripoff from the Farmer Annie's Garden episode, and doesn't add anything to it. There is only one lift flap per page. The book could use more substance.

Very fun!.......2006-12-25

My kids love Little Einsteins. We purchased this for our 3-year old, but as it turns out, our 5 and 7-year olds also enjoy it! Our oldest loves to read it to our youngest. It's a very fun book that all our kids enjoy!

Great book for younger kids.......2006-11-15

This is great for a 2 or 3 year old. Excellent storyline, but I've been spoiled by all the nifty gadgets (e.g. Rocket Magnifier and the Viewfinder) of the other books.

Fun and Sturdy.......2006-10-19

My two year old, (almost 3), LOVES little Einsteins, she was just thrilled with this book! It's a sturdy board book, so it can travel with her wherever we go, and has fun flaps that she enjoys lifting.
It's a simple to read story about planting seeds on a farm. Very cute.

Customer Reviews:

Cute book, poor quality!.......2007-05-18

I agree with the other reviewer who enjoyed this book but felt it was poorly constructed. My two year old son LOVES the Little Einsteins and since I've had trouble finding toys/ products with their images, I was excited to discover this book. He does love the rocket magnifier that came with the book, I might detatch it just so he can play with it. He is very active but has never destroyed a book before. After only three days of playing with this book, the binding in the middle is coming apart so some of the pages are almost hanging out of the book already. It is a cute book and good concept, but for your money you are better off buying a Little Einstein board book (such as the Birthday Machine) or another hardback (such as Music of the Meadow or Butterfly Suits). We also purchased those and they are well-made. The hardbound ones such as the above mentioned two also have a Little Einstein sticker sheet in the back of each book. It's a better value for your money.

Disney's Little Einsteins: Mission: Color Discoveries.......2007-01-10

My son loves anything to do with Disney's Little Einsteins! As my first child, he amazes me every day with the things he learns and remembers from that show. He loves the Rocket attached to the book!

Rocket is fun, but books not challenging. .......2006-12-14

I bought this and the Where's June for my 4 year old son who is into Little Einsteins. The discriptions sounded like fun interactive books, and the Rocket tool would make reading more interesting.

I was very dissappointed to find that Rocket is just a regular magnifier, and you don't even need him to find the clues in these books, they are in plain sight. I expected other hidden things on the pages, like an I Spy type thing, that would make the book more re-readable. In addition, to totally make using the magnifier redundant, on each spread is a large drawing with the missing color/letter on it! I had to resort to covering up this part of the page so my child would look for the answer himself.

It gets 3 stars because my son still enjoys it, but for the extra price and bother of making a Rocket tool they didn't do enough with it.

A Big Hit!.......2006-09-23

My daughter (now 2 years old) has loved this show since it started airing a year ago; it's the only show she likes to watch. I bought her this book thinking it would be something she would enjoy sometime down the road when she was older when she could appreciate all the reading in the book.

She found it when I brought it home and hasn't stopped looking at it since. She looks at the pictures, points things out, and has learned a LOT from it. She can now show me where things are on the page when I ask her, such as the fish, flower, camel, ladybug, and all the characters by name.

So even thought this book is aimed at readers, non-reading toddlers and preschoolers can enjoy it just as much! It's a fantastic, colorful, fun book and a great educational tool.

As for the Rocket magnifying glass attachment, it hasn't posed a problem for us, but I can see where some kids might become frustrated by it getting in the way, or whatnot. It doesn't really serve it's purpose very well anyway, so I would just cut it off. Ours is still attached but it usually just hangs when we page through the book together and she usually leaves it alone.

Story is fine but book quality is pretty lame.......2006-09-05

I purchased two Little Einsteins books as soon as they came available (Mission: Where's June and Mission: Color Discoveries). My girls love the show and they love the books...maybe too much. After reading them only a couple of times, pages started coming out. Stories are cute but these books won't last much beyond a month or two!

Peter Pan is Golden!.......2007-06-27

How can you go wrong with Peter Pan and Little Golden Books?! My daughter (2 years old) wanted very badly to read her mother's vintage Disney Storybook version of Peter Pan. But we didn't want that 30+ year old book to get messed up, which it would in the hands of a well-meaning but enthusiastic toddler. So I went on a search and found this Little Golden Book that has the identical art and text as the original Disney hardback, but in the inexpensive and toddler friendly Little Golden Book format. Now my daughter can read about Pan, Hook, and Tiger Lillie to her heart's content!

Both my husband and I loved this book as children, and now our son does too! It drags the child into the action of the story, and they love doing what Grover asks them not to. I have not yet met the child who didn't enjoy it.

GREAT BOOK.......2007-09-04

This is such a cute little story - such a fun book to read as it has many opportunities to add character in your voice fluctuation. It is smaller in size so it travels easily. This was one of my favorites as a child.

Cute!.......2007-09-03

I have loved this book ever since I read it to my oldest son (who's now 16) and I recently re-purchased it for my one year old and one of my nephews. They both love this book as much as I do. It's an adorable little story!

Oprah Book Club® Selection, December 1997: The first three books in Bill Cosby's Little Bill series, which fall somewhere between Fat Albert and Fatherhood in sensibility, are designed to help kids cope with tough social situations. In The Meanest Thing to Say Little Bill must figure out how to avoid the challenge offered by the new kid in his class, "The Dozens," a duel of insults Bill doesn't want to join. With his family's help (which is free of preaching), Bill finds a solution.

Dr. Alvin F. Poussant, a frequent Cosby collaborator and advisor, adds a useful introduction to explain why Little Bill not only beats the game, but also goes on to befriend its instigator. (The publisher recommends the book for ages 4-8, but because the author is Bill Cosby, kids up to age 10 would probably accept the counsel offered by this volume and others in the series.)

Book Description

Michael Reilly has introduced a new game to Little Bill and his friends. You get twelve chances to say something mean to another kid--and whoever comes up with the biggest insult is the winner. Insults start flying: "Jose hops with the frogs in science lab!" "Andrew eats frogs for dinner!" "Little Bill shoots baskets like a girl!"Little Bill tries to think of really mean things to say in retaliation. But Dad teaches him a strategy that enables Little Bill to save face while remaining the nice kid that he really is!

Customer Reviews:

Cosby tells "stories about situations children often face.".......2007-03-15

The Meanest Thing To Say is not about saying mean things back to mean people. And it isn't even about mean people. What it IS about is children learning self-control, level-headedness and heart. When the new kid, Michael, calls Little Bill names, and says he has to think of the meanest things to say back the next day, Bill is frustrated and anxious. This comes up at home and his dad tells him to just say, "So?" to everything. Little Bill does this and it halts Michael. It takes two people to fight. But the moral of the story doesn't stop here. Bill observes Michael is a new student and maybe just needs a friend. So he invites him to play basketball with him and they become friends.

Unfortunately it is reality that children can be very mean and hurtful. As parents, we need to teach our children how to handle bullies and it's equally as important to teach them not to BE a bully. Also, just ignoring mean actions and words doesn't always work. Everyone has good in them and we all, ages 2-102 need to offer kindness instead of anger. Great job, Cosby! Thank you and please keep writing. Peace & Soar!o8E

LEARN HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE.......2006-11-10

THIS BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT LEARNING TOOL. IT IS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT AND I AM SURE IT WILL BE READ AND EACH CHILD WILL LEARN FROM IT!

Great lesson.......2006-03-16

I just got this book yesterday for my son who just turned 3 years old. He really enjoyed it and after reading it, he kept asking me to read it over. He was very interested because he started asking questions at the end. He just started preschool and I wanted to introduce him to possible situations he might go through while in school. This story gives a great lesson on how to handle a situation when someone says something mean to you. My son also enjoyed it because the situation takes place in school and at a basketball court, which he can relate to because he started school and he loves to play basketball.

Secret Weapon Against Bullies.......2006-03-03

I was looking for a book to help my 9 year-old deal with other kids who say cruel and demeaning things. My son and I sat down and read the book together and then discussed how saying "so" when mean things are said takes away the bullies power. We decided that "so" was his new secret weapon.

My son was so excited when the very next day at school he used his secret weapon and it worked. He has also shared the book with a few of his classmates and it has helped them too.

GREAT BOOK!

I brought this item as a gift for my 2year old nephew. I haven't seen the book myself as I arranged delivery direct to NZ. However from all reports upon receiving this book it was taken straight to his bed. This is were all his prized possessions are kept and these are not shared with anyone. This is the first book of this series he has received as they are not available in NZ. Based on his reaction I'll certainly be ordering more.

I really liked this book because it has perfect vocabulary for kids.Even though thre is a movie many kids like to read the books of movies the have made.This disney production can help children understand their vocabulary.Many kids even if they see the movie and read the book they get the main idea also.

My son is 6 years old and he loves when me and my husband reads to him. But now he began to read small books like this one and he loves it. He always is interested in a new story and because he can read now he feels proud of himself.

Great addition to the Little Mermaid video!.......2003-10-23

What a great addition to our bookshelf! My 3 year old daughter loves the Little Mermaid video, but I try to limit her viewing time. This book is a top choice to fill in on those days we skip the videos.

This book includes all the major story elements and characters, a feature that is unavailable in the shorter versions I've seen. It also uses direct quotes from the video, which my daughter loves. The beautiful images from the movie are on each page, with short paragraphs, which keeps her engaged, and doesn't take nearly as long to read as you might think.

I only gave 4 stars because I think that with the vast amount of material included, this book is just a little dry. I'm not sure how engaging it would be as a stand-alone read, versus as an accessory to the movie.

For our purposes, though, this a great book, and we read it frequently. Money well spent!

true under the sea story.......2003-03-05

My kids love this story and so do I. It tells every important detail in a short description. Each page has beautiful pictures with only a few paragraphs so the kids get to turn the pages often. The language comes straight from the movie so that the story teller can use the character voices. This will become a favorite with your family too.

Missing Chimes.......2007-07-28

I love the read along books for my pre-reader, but this one doesn't have the chimes telling her to turn the page. She needs help every couple of minutes finding what page the recording is on.

Needs more variety of voices.......2007-05-12

While my kids enjoy listening to the stories that they know so well, they get bored easily since with the voice never changing. They don't use the various character voices in telling the story as they do in other disney CDs that we have. The songs and poems that are on the CD sound silly even to my kids who always ask me to skip those--they should have used a song from the movie if they wanted to include music on the CD. I'd recommend the Disney read-along CDs over this as those use character voices and are more interesting/dramatic to listen to.

Disney cd.......2007-03-08

Great book with CD. My grandaughter love it. She can pick her story. Real Disney storyline.

I love it and my kids love it!.......2006-08-11

I have bought all of the CD Storybooks and they have all been well worth the money. I will continue to buy them as they become available. However the one thing that I wish they would get back to is having the stories read by the actual characters themselves. The first Winnie the Pook storybook and the storybook with Bugs Life, Monsters Inc and Toys Story 1 & 2 all were read with the voices of the actual characters. It was great! Then when I bought the new ones it's a womans voice for every character and the narrator. Guess we are just spoiled. It's still worth the money and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a little peace and quiet in the car! tee hee

My son LOVES it!.......2005-09-11

I felt compelled to review this, because unlike two of the other reviewers, I LIKE that there is no indication to "turn the page." The book is good, but the audio CD is even better. My son got one of these (actually slightly different, it has the "Nemo" story on it and one other that is different) for his 3rd birthday, and wants to listen to it EVERY night while he is falling asleep. I was looking on amazon to buy another one (with different stories). The woman's voice who is the narrator is very pleasant. I think it would be very annoying if there was a "beep" or "turn the page" indicator on the CD, especially for those children, like my son, who like to listen to it as a bedtime story.
