Way Up High in a Tall Green Tree

I got this book for my 5 year old daughter because she loves the others by this author. This was no exception, she has it all memorized from cover to cover and can "read" it to me. Great book.

Another fantastic book for babies!

I bought this book after reading and reading Way Down Deep in the Deep Blue Sea to my son, who is now nine months old. He likes this book just as much. I like the variety of animals, like an ocelot and a kinajou! My son's favorite is when I read as "sllllllooooooowwwww mooooooooo, haaaaaaiiiiirrrrryy slooooooottthhhhhh" as slow as I possible can. He laughs and laughs! This is a fantastic book that, along with Deep Blue Sea have successfully introduced my baby to reading, for which I will be forever grateful!

Fun Read-Aloud

This book is a great read-aloud. I read it to my three-year-old niece and she didn't budge from the couch the whole time. The illustrations are simply captivating.

A parent has to love the book too!

I bought this for my son, who was still too young to turn anything but board book pages (and certainly didn't understand a dang thing I read) when we got it. Maybe he got the vibe that Mommy was really into it because it was the first paper book he kept going to and now, at 1 1/2, it is one of his favorite books to read over and over. The illustrations are great; big, colorful and wonderful for both he and I to look at. We love the cadence and he is totally fascinated with smiling animals that you don't normally see in kid's books - like a kinkajou, sloth, gecko... He leans in on the girl's face and says "KISS!" every time. The story line is clever. This is one book I don't get sick of reading and neither does he. It's just smart - definitely not a "baby" book and that's one of the things we love about it. I will buy every book the combination of this writer and illustrator will put out.

Way Up High In the Tall Green Tree is magic!

The rhyme and music of Way Up High In the Tall Green Tree will help any young child learn to read. Along the way each child will learn about animals that live in the rain forest. On top of it all is a droll humor that will delight parents and kids alike! I've written lots of children's books, and I know a good thing when I read it!
