THE GRANDMOTHER SACK FAVORITE!

The colors featured on the cover are the first to be distinguished by an infant. This is the first book I read to my grandchildren--at about 6 wks. The rhymes that compose the text are catchy. The pop-ups are effective and very durable; mine are still in prime condition after being read to numberous children from 6 wks.-5 yrs. of age over a period of 4 years. The door bell sound is not offensive and the button is easy for little fingers to press. I am a school teacher, and this is the most effective book I have found to help little ones learn to sit still and enjoy reading time. Both boys and girls enjoy the book. I have a page dedicated to this book and children enjoying it in my creative memories scrapbook. The only criticism I have is that the doorbell sound is not controlled by a replaceable battery. My doorbell has died,(can't imagine why) and I cannot find new copies of this book.

Jan Pienkowski's books are priceless!

Doorbell is a story written with humorous rhyming sentences. It is filled with pop-up characters, and a battery-operated "doorbell" so the kids can interact with each page. This book is sturdy enough for most ages. I'm nearly 40 years old, and I can't get enough of it!
