Customer Reviews

A must for toddlers!

I have bought this book for many toddler birthdays and it is a hit every time. It is my toddler's favorite book and we read it every night. The text is simple to read ((Hi Frog, Bye Frog) so young children develop early concept of print skills (I am a teacher so I look for things like that). There is a surprise ending that makes every child squeal. We have two copies! And the author has other interactive books that my son loves as well!

Perfect for one year old

My daugher has been disinterested in some of my older son's baby books, so I needed to try something else to keep her attention. This book offers vivid colors and a simple, "hello" and "good by" theme, and as she's learning to wave, this caught her eye. She also loves to flip the flaps on each page up/down, or side to side, to watch the caracters leave. The ending has a nice light on a birthday cake candle and sees all the animals you just said good bye to eating birthday cake. Cute book and Blueberry bunny has the soft overalls on, too. Only tactile thing in the book, though. Since she loved Pat the Bunny I felt she might like this too and she does!

Fantastic Baby book

Our son loves this and the other Blueberry book we have. Not only is it very interactive, with touching and each page needing to open up to learn how to identify things. Our son learns from the book while being entertained. We are big fans.

Learning language skills for young ones

In this fun and fuzzy book, Blueberry runs into all of his friends who suddenly have to take off somewhere. Where is everyone going? The surprise ending is a delight for very young children! The vocabulary of the book is perfect for a young person approaching their first birthday. The repeated pattern of saying "hi" and "bye" to each of the animal friends helps develop early language skills. The pictures are simple and bright enough to keep a young child's attention. They are also able to participate by feeling Blueberry's fuzzy overalls on each page and lifting the flaps. The light at the end of the book seems gratuitous and unnecessary however, and the pages and flaps are a bit flimsy to last very long in a 12-month-old's hands. It would also be nice to have some different textures to feel on the other animals, rather than just the fleece on Blueberry Rabbit. Overall, this is a very cute book and would make a nice present for someone turning one year old. However, this is definitely a board book that requires more supervision than most. Armchair Interviews says: Fuzzy and fun book for children.
