Book Description

Customer Reviews:

Cute story!.......2007-09-22

My daughter loves this book and reads it quite frequently. She still hasn't shown much interest in the potty though.

not much there.......2007-09-18

Baby Ernie is cute but this book was too short and simplistic for our 2-year-old. Hardly any text. It didn't offer much information. It's more like a baby's book, and babies don't need to learn about using potties! I've seen MUCH better books out there on potty-training.

Good help!.......2007-09-13

My son is off diaper after reading this book several times. It is one of the help if the kid loves Sesame Street.

Too Big for the Book.......2007-09-10

My very big boy thought he was too big to read the book, at first. Then he started agreeing with what the book was talking about. He has been trying to be a big boy for everything, except the potty. Now with the help of the book and Potty Power...he's got it!

cute.......2007-07-26

Very cute book. I did have to change the words to fit into what we were teaching our little one to call his body's fuctions.

New Sibling.......2007-08-01

I got this for my grandson before he became a Big Brother. He loved it.

My son loves this book.......2007-06-08

My nearly three year old loves this book--I find him quoting lines out of it when he talks about our new baby on the way. The text and illustrations are simple enough for him to understand and hold his interest. It is very positive and doesn't bring up jealousy issues but rather emphasizes all the good things about being an older sibling. If you are expecting and are trying to prepare your little one for the upcoming arrival then I do recommend this book.

2.5 year old loves this book!.......2007-05-21

My son loves this book, and it's illustrations. Both of us love Falwell's We have a baby, but this is a good companion to that for any expectant or newly additioned family. I like that this is "big brother" specific, as that is a special title to the only boy in our family who is quite used to being the baby, lol. A good buy.

Cute and New-Classic Children's Book.......2007-03-13

This book is a perfect fit for the age group specified, and I am very pleased after purchasing it for my nephew after the birth of a baby brother. The pictures are very detailed and colorful, and the illustrator is wonderful. The story is not too long, and not too simplified to be boring for parents to read over and over again.

Sweet Book for Preparing Tots for Baby Siblings!.......2007-03-09

I bought this book for my nephew, who's getting a baby brother this spring. I liked the gentle tone of the book, the fact that it shows Dad doing parenting chores, the fact that it doesn't establish the gender of the new baby, allowing you as the reader to use that as a discussion point (or not), etc. The book would best be used as a jumping-off point for talks about what a new baby in the house means: i.e., "this page shows the baby sleeping in a crib. You slept in a crib when you were a baby. Now you have a big-boy bed, right?" or however you want to handle it. Each page could be used like that, if you wanted to, a few weeks apart, to give the child more time for processing and asking questions. (Caveat: If you're in a single-parent, two-mommy, or two-daddy household, you might get questions about who the second parent is in the picture.)

Customer Reviews:

It works!.......2007-09-18

We bought this book for my daughter when she was 13 months old. We read it frequently to her but never knew if she really understood what the whole "new baby at our house" concept really meant. The day day her baby sister was born when she was 18 months old we read the book to her and on the page that says "someone new is at our house, do you know who it is?" she immediately pointed to her new sister. We were so excited to realize that this book had taught her the concept of being a big sister even though she was so young. I highly recommend this book.

I like it!.......2007-08-23

When my son was born, he gave this book to my toddler. It really doesn't hold her interest but I think it is a worth while book! I love the illustrations.

Great book.......2007-08-23

Out of all the big sister books I bought for my daughter when we were expecting #2, this one I think is her favorite. Great illustrations and explanations on a child level. Great book.

Excellent for "Big Sisters" !!!!.......2007-08-07

This book is so wonderful! We started reading this book to our 2 year old at about 1 month before the baby was born! She LOVED the book and after reading this book she would carry it around the house. She kept on commenting that she was going to have a baby. When baby finally came, she was so excited to tell her that she was the "big sister"!
The baby is now 15 months old and my now 3 year old still loves to read the book and actively particippates and helps Mommy with the baby because she's a "big sister"!
The book talks about something new in our house, a baby. The baby in the book seems to be gender neutral which makes it convenient if you're expecting either a new girl or new boy. There are also some helpful tips for parents on the final page of the book. We highly recommend this book which is an easy read for your toddler.

I'm a Big Sister.......2007-04-05

Good Book. It is wonderful at introducing the concept of a new baby being in the house to a sibling. But this book also emphasizes that the sibling is still special to the parents and it is good to be an older sibling.

Book Description

By the big red barn
In the great green field,
There was a pink pig
Who was learning to squeal.

There were horses and sheep and goats and geese--and a jaunty old scarecrow leaning on his hoe. And they all lived together by the big red barn. In joyous and exuberant

Pictures, Felicia Bond lovingly evokes Margaret Wise Brown's simple, rhythmic text about the cycle of a day on a farm, where a family of animals peacefully plays and sleeps.

In the barnyard there are roosters and cows, horses and goats, and a pink piglet who is learning to squeal. Margaret Wise Brown's lulling story about a day in the life of a barnyard is now available as a sturdy board book. Felicia Bond's atmospheric illustrations add to the tranquil simplicity of this story.

Customer Reviews:

Great learning book!.......2007-08-01

Our 18 month old daughter loves this book. Easy to read, easy for her to follow. We enjoy it at bedtime. Words and pictures teach animals, some numbers, colors, etc. Much to gain from this book! Highly recommend!

One of our favorites!.......2007-06-14

This book is such a classic. My kids love it, but it is also one of my favorites. As with most Margaret W. Brown books, the words just flow and capture the kids' attention. My son loves horses, so he really loves the pictures of the farm animals. I like this book even more than "Goodnight Moon."

Better Offerings Out There.......2007-05-13

The illustrations in this book are good but too small in the board book format for little ones. If you really want this book, purchase the traditional sized hardback edition.

Love this book!.......2007-05-12

I can recite this book by heart and so can my 2 1/2 year old grand daughter. Sometimes we will be driving or playing in the yard and I will start reciting and she will join in. At night when you read it together and look at the beautiful pictures, it calms you and relaxes you (and the child) and gets you set for a nice nights sleep. I can not give it more then 5 stars but I would if I could. Every good grandmother should have this in her arsenal!

Great Book.......2007-05-09

This is a great book to read to your child beginning at an early age. The colors are wonderful for them to look at. As you read the story you can teach them all about farm animals. Highly recommend this book to all parents.

Book Description

What a perfect gift. Perfect for baby showers. Irresistible for a newborn, or for a one-, two-, even a three-year-old’s birthday. Ideal as a set that grandparents, aunts and uncles, in-laws, and close personal friends of the baby (babies have close personal friends?) will find particularly perfect to give. Housed in a bold, happy slipcase are three bestselling Boynton on Board books: Barnyard Dance!, Oh My Oh My Oh My Dinosaurs!, and Pajama Time!

It’s the wonderfulest introduction to the world of Boynton—square-dancing pigs and sheep, wide-eyed dinosaurs, and a sleepy, PJ-clad menagerie. The books, which in their chunkiness present a deliciously tactile handful for little readers, sport die-cut covers that reveal a glimpse of the fun inside. And what fun it is! Big, bold, humorous, rhyming verses, and those ever-whimsical illustrations that have made Sandra Boynton one of America’s best-loved artists. A box of pure read-aloud pleasure.

Sandra Boyton books are always a big hit at our house-she writes some terrific children's books that all kids seem to love!

Fun for parents, too!.......2007-09-15

Since becoming parents 7 1/2 years ago, we have read MANY MANY MANY children's books and I can easily say that Sandra Boynton is our family's favorite author. The illustrations are adorable and the stories are funny, sweet, silly, and quick (which is a huge bonus if it's aready past bedtime). Our hands-down favorite is "Barnyard Dance"...it's especially funny if you can read it as if you're actually the caller at a hoedown. Another favorite is "But Not the Hippopotamus" and "Horns to Toes and In Between" which is great for teaching body parts. If you're looking for silly, cute, and funny, Sandra's books do not disappoint.

Great for reading over and over!.......2007-09-11

My grandson is 2 years old and he loves thes books. The illustrations are fun and colorful and the verses rhyme and are catchy. After I read one of the books to him he sits down and "reads" it to himself, explaining the pictures.

Little ones love these books!.......2007-08-25

I love Sandra Boynton, and this collection has some of my favorites. I read them to my 1 month old and she loves to listen. I know they will be her favorites for several years to come. THe art is fun and colorful without being too busy for young eyes, and the rymes are cute and pleasant for young ears. We even use some of the words from Barnyard Dance during other play time ("with a neigh and a moo and a cockadoodledoo, another little promenade two by two)!

Great Book!.......2007-09-16

This book is such a sweet, cute book. I am 24 years old and still read it to my nieces every once in a while. I have grown up making my parents read me this book over and over again every night and day. My copy is worn out but it also shows how much I enjoyed it. I hope you decide to buy it and read it to your children they will love it!

What a great, sweet book!.......2006-09-09

This is such a sweet little book! Probably not much past age 5, but the story has a bunny looking for a place to stay or a home of his own. He proceeds to ask everyone he meets if he can live with them and they all say no. However, when he meets a little white bunny, the bunny takes him in and they then live together. The last picture is just so sweet with the two bunnies snuggling together. The illustrations make you touch the page because the bunny looks so fuzzy! It is very much loved in our house and we highly recommend it!

home for a bunny review.......2006-03-30

I read this book 20+ years ago to my two children and it was their favorite and most requested Little Golden book. It is such a sweet and well illustrated book. My only regret is that I didn't keep it over the years because I now had to go on a search for another copy for my brand new grandchild. My new copy of "Home for a Bunny" will be extremely well used, I'm sure!

Touching & Memorable.......2005-05-22

My mother used to read this book to me when I was very small, and even twenty years later, I remember the story of the little bunny trying to find a home so vividly! This is such a sweet story, it ends happily, and it has beautiful illustrations as well. A wonderful exploration of the concept of "home." I'm looking forward to reading it to my own children one day.

Life-long favorite.......2005-04-19

My papa used to read this to me when I was a child, and then I apparently grew out of it for a while. I remember coming home from high school during finals week, exhausted. Dad saw me sigh and said, "Well, you're home for a bunny. You can relax now." Memories flooded me and we scrambled to find the book. Now, I've made it a tradition that when a family member or friend is expecting their first child, I give them a copy of this book. It's all about a little bunny(baby)coming home, isn't it? And when I was looking to buy my own first home...well, that's another story.

The writing is sweet and the illustrations charming. Highly recommended. It's a keeper, for sure.

Maisy the mouse and her friends Cyril, Charley, and Tallulah have a busy day of gardening, painting pictures, cleaning the playroom, and romping at the playground. Young readers can lift the flaps--all 36 of 'em--to learn about numbers, colors, shapes, and opposites as the pals go about their day. What objects in the playroom match the shapes on the flaps? What color completes the pictures of carrots, whales, and grasshoppers? The oh-so-cute Maisy is a huge favorite with children, who watch her on TV and read about her in Where Does Maisy Live?, Maisy Goes to Bed, Count with Maisy, and many more titles by award-winning artist Lucy Cousins. Vibrant colors and bold black outlines set the tone for this cheery, interactive book about everyone's favorite mouse. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

This is the BIG book of everything preschoolers need to know. Children can lift, look, and learn with Maisy and her friends!

Children everywhere are crazy for Maisy, the adorable and celebrated mouse created by award-winning artist Lucy Cousins. In MAISY’S BIG FLAP BOOK, Maisy and her friends—Cyril, Tallulah, and Charley—are busy working in the garden, painting and playing in the playroom, and having fun at the park. Young children will eagerly join in, and with thirty-six flaps to lift, they’ll discover a dazzling world of numbers, colors, shapes, and opposites!

Customer Reviews:

Fun!.......2007-09-28

My daughter is one, so she is a little young for the target demographic of this book. She does however really enjoy it. This book is played with multiple times a day. She enjoys turning the large pages and lifting all of the flaps. My only qualm with this book is, that although it is large in size, it is not have many pages. Overall though a great book and I'm sure my daughter will enjoy it even more when she is old enough to really interact with it.

Another hit from Maisy.......2007-03-29

Our 11 month old loves flap books and true to its title, this one is big. It's a little harder for her to turn the pages but with all those extra flaps on each page, it's a decent trade-off.

A must for any Maisy fan........2006-08-21

My daughter can't get enough of this book. She could sit in front of it all day long, opening all the flaps and staring at all the details in the pictures. She is on a real Maisy kick, so I knew she would love it, but I had no idea how much. Three months after I first got it for her (she is 21 months now), I still know that it will hold her attention when I pull it out. That's a valuable tool for the mother of an active toddler!

Maisy + Flaps = Winner!!!.......2006-06-26

My 2 year old loves Maisy! I got this book for him a year ago, and it is still a favorite. He has been able to tear some of the flaps off, like most of his flap books. Nonetheless we love the large size, bold colors, lots of flaps, simple images - a great buy!

GREAT FOR KIDS WHO LOVE THE FLAP BOOKS!.......2006-02-23

My 2.5 year old is a big Maisy fan, and LOVES all books with flaps! Thus, this purchase was a no brainer, and he loves it! His 5 year old brother likes it too!! Best thing is that the flaps are durable and not easy to rip-very important for us:-) Good purchase!

Sesame Street The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland

ASIN: 0679844686
Release Date: 1994-02-01

Amazon.com

Count to 10, explore the alphabet, discover shapes, learn about opposites, and find the missing teddy bear in this big, colorful board book. Sesame Street's beloved Elmo guides young readers to lift more than 60 flaps to reveal humorous and edifying surprises. Over the word "dry," Grover gazes unsuspectingly into a garden hose. Turn the flap and guess what happens! Grover learns all about "wet." A towering pyramid of alphabet blocks contains objects starting with the same letter behind each flap: alligator, book, cookies. Large, sturdy flaps allow rough-tough toddler hands to clutch and pull as much as they want with minimal risk of tearing. Children will adore the bright, bold illustrations of Jim Henson's familiar Muppet characters and beg to return to this book again and again. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

Illustrated in full color. Turn playtime into learning time with lovable Sesame Street Muppet Elmo and the biggest flap book ever! Toddlers can lift alphabet blocks to find a word beginning with each letter, open doors and windows on Sesame Street to count objects from one to ten, lift flaps that reveal opposites, and help Elmo find his teddy! More than 60 sturdy flaps--10 to 26 per spread--are part of the page, not glued on, and are made to stand up to the repeated wear and tear kids are sure to inflict with lots of lifting, looking, seeking, finding, and fun!

Elmo's Big Lift and Learn Book.......2007-09-24

This is a great book for little girls and boys. My grandsons, ages 9 mos and 2 yrs, love it! It's a book they interact with, and they love that.

Elmo's Big Lift-And-Look Book.......2007-08-28

So many people gave good reviews to this book, but I cannot. I just received it and the flaps came off the first time I tried to open them. I noticed another recent review that indicated a similar problem. This makes me wonder if there has been a change in the manufacturing process. The pictures are very cute, but I had to spend an hour taping all the flaps. How annoying. Beware!!

A Mixed Bag: Great Book, Low Quality.......2007-08-24

I bought this book for my 15-month old son. I agree with all of the reviews listing this book as highly educational and fun for little ones...I mean, who can resist Elmo and the Sesame Street gang? My son even chuckled at Grover getting the hose dumped over him ("dry" versus "wet" when you lift the flap).

What disappointed me, however, was the flimsiness of the flaps. I don't know if the alphabet block flaps were supposed to be completely detached but about half of those flaps came off completely upon the first look-through of the book. Hence, those are scattered about the house somewhere, never to be found again, I'm sure. Maybe I got a lemon book? Additionally, my son had already torn several of the flaps on the last pages of the book (where you help find Elmo's teddy bear for him) completely off of the book. He wasn't that rough with the flaps, but the manufacturers of a flap book for the toddler set should reinforce the folding line!

My only beef with the content of the book is when trying to find Elmo's bear. Why didn't they hide it under a flap? My son, after a few readings of the book, wasn't interested in opening any of the flaps b/c he knew to run down to the corner of the page where the bear is sitting.

Recommended book, nonetheless, but you may want to tape all of the folding lines in anticipation of their destruction! =-)

Entertaining and educational!!.......2007-07-25

I have nothing but great things to say about this book, it is one of my 22 month old daughter's favorites. The book is very large and colorful with a lot of learning opportunities and fun Sesame Street characters. The first couple of pages are characters and other items hiding under the flaps (Bert and Ernie, Big Bird, cupcakes, shoes, hot dogs, etc.). The next 2 pages are lift the flap alphabet letters with a picture underneath each letter. Then there are 2 pages on different shapes with pictures (diamond is a kite, rectangle is a semi, circle is a sun) - and finally a lift the flap of things hiding in a classroom. It takes a while to get through all the book, and my daughter enjoys pointing everything out to me. I highly recommend this book!

He loves lifting the flaps and finding what's under there... he has it memorized. The book is pretty sturdy too.
