John Butler books are wonderful

John Butler books are my 3 year old son's absolute favorite. He is captivated by the beautiful soothing illustrations, and loves to chant along with the story being told. I have been reading this story to him since he was 6 months old, and have since bought all of the John Butler board books. They are lovely, and a wonderful bonding experience with your child!

Wonderful early book

We got this book for my daughter when she was around one year old, and read it constantly for a long time. For awhile she even had it memorized. Now she's 3 1/2 and prefers longer books usually, but still occasionally likes to go back to the comfort of this one. The illustrations are wonderful, the rhyme is catchy, and it makes a great bedtime book because it goes from animals in action to animals curling up and getting ready for bed. We just bought a copy for a bday gift for a friend who's turning 1 soon.

Lovely New Children's Book

It is a known fact that most youngsters love animals, so John Butler's CAN YOU CUDDLE LIKE A KOALA? is a must have for your child's bookshelf. Right before bedtime, you can take your child on a journey through the wilds, where he or she can leap like a frog, wink like an owl, and more, then say goodnight to the various animals as they nestle down for a good night's sleep. This is a gorgeous book that is filled with soothing prose that is perfect for putting a little one to bed. A must have! Erika Sorocco Book Review Columnist for The Community Bugle Newspaper
