Gerald mcboing boing

I really like this book very much

Gerald McBoing Boing Book Great Quality

My five-year-old boy loves this book. It has a button you press to hear the "boing-boing" sound. It's great.

Good book

The kids love to press the sound button. It keeps their interest.

I MEMORIZED this when I was seven . . .

and treasured the book until I was a teenager and lent it to an unscrupulous neighbor who never returned it. She was a speech teacher and wanted to show it to her class. I've never been able to understand why such a fabulous Dr. Seuss book was never reissued. So hooray! I'm buying several today to send to my nieces and nephews. And one for me -- to share with MY class!

Hurray for Gerald !

I'm happy to see that Gerald Mcboing Boing is back for a new generation of readers. I fondly remember the book from my preschool days (and I have married children now).Gerald's misery at being different and rejected because of his inability to speak and then finding fame and self pride is presented in a charming manner that is easy to identify with. Its a short book with lots of funny pictures, just right for bedtime story.

If you wait long enough...

This was a favorite book in my family in the early 50s. My older sister still has our copy. I've spent years searching old book stores for it, but like Eloise, the best always return. It's an exciting book for kids of all ages. I'm going to get copies for all my children so they can share it when they have families of their own.
