Customer Reviews

Lovely book

My son (just about to turn two) absolutely loves this book. He brings the book to me everyday at least 3-4 times, and then himself goes through the book again, saying the stories out loud. A recent discovery is the little duck on each page, and he loves looking for it (he's become an expert now and can find the duck even though I can't spot it sometimes!). Poppy and Sam are his favourite two girl & boy characters now, and Curly & Wooly his favourite animal friends! Absolutely recommend it to anyone.

my 4 yr old and 2 yr old love it

this is a sweet book that my kids love. my husband and i actually don't mind reading it over and over. the stories are fun and my kids like seeing the same characters having different experiences. they like to "read" along with me. the book is also sturdy and stands up to the abuse and use it receives.

My daughter only wants this book at bed time.

We love this book. Our daughter who just turned two, will only have us read this to her at bed time. There are several stories about Mrs Boot and her Farm. The book starts off the same each story so children begin to identify with the characters and make associations. The book has top and bottom text so once your child starts reading they can read the simpler top text while you read the bottom. Plus there is a little duck in each picture for your child to find. My daughter loves finding the duck and has us read about her favorite characters, which are right now Whooly and Curly. This is the only book that keeps her attention and she will sit through us reading several stories to her. We left this book on a plane while traveling and she asked for it for a week. I had to order a new one. This book is great.
