Customer Reviews

Read, smile, REPEAT!!!

First read this book when I was a nanny years ago. I STILL think this is the most fun read for kids AND adults like me :)

My Three Year Old Loves It!

My three year old can't get enough of this book. He recites the entire book by heart. We've been reading it almost every night for the past year. He now "reads" the book to his 10 month old brother, who squeals in delight when the three year old says "Wheeeee can you dance like me?"

great book!

My 4 year old daughter is very picky about the books she likes, they have to be colorful and fun. This is one of her favorites. The bright fun story gets an A+ from her, this is her must read book everyday.

Love this book!

My 2-year-old daughter LOVES this book. I often find her in her room reading to herself, saying, "Frog goes, "Weee!" Duck goes, 'Flap!" Down by the cool of the pool!" She reads it 100 times a day, and makes me read it at least three times, too. I highly recommend it

Our favorite

My 2 year old daughter LOVES this book. She has almost memorized it word for word and has made up hand motions to go with it. It is a lively, adorable rhyme and the colorful illustrations are wonderful.

Confessional and Premature Love

This is the parent's favorite of children's book to date. Keep this in mind though, the kid-to-be has only 5 books currently in his nascent library and the big thumbs up comes from two overly enthusiastic and gate jumping before the gun expectant parents.That's right; we have been reading this book to the belly for the last week and absolutely love it. I can't speak for the life growing within, but the book has rhythm, bright colors, goofy animals, a lively story, and enough little details to keep readers enrapt studying the words, hoping and anticipating what comes next. The illustrations are a work of art with beautiful rich color. Each page has an animal at the periphery that will show up featured en-scene on the next page.If the life that shows up in 3 months time doesn't absolutely love it, Mom and Dad will sneak off to a closed room and read it in joy and glee.
