Big hit

Our two year old loves all Spot books, but this one is his favorite. He loves to lift the flaps himself and reads along.

can i spend the night at steve's....please

My son absolutely loves spot! I've read it more in the last 3 months than I ever cared to read it in my lifetime, but it is great for kids. He loves the flaps and identifying all the items that spot takes with him. Great for vocabulary development.

Teddy Bear Overnighter

One of the most exciting events a young person can have is his or her first sleepover. Ah, that grown-up feeling, eating snacks, and staying up late telling bad jokes and giggling. It also joins the first day at school as an important, potentially anxiety-provoking away from home time. Eric Hill's irrepressible Spot experiences both the joys and pangs of sleepovers in this winning book. When Spot's playmate Steve the monkey invites him to a sleepover at his house next door, his Mom Sally says yes, and Spot begins packing as if he's going away for a week. The two buddies have fun sliding down Steve's new slide (although Spot crashes in to the yellow flowers) and swinging on a tire. But then, while it's still daytime, Spot's mother comes over with a mysterious pink bag. Later during bedtime, curious Steve asks, "What was in the bag, Spot?" Spot, inside his sleeping bag with the teddy bear his mom brought over (and a big smile on his face ) replies simply, "Oh, nothing." Spot has a good time and thanks Sally for remembering to bring the bear over. Overall, the book has a nice uncluttered feeling, with big bold text and bright illustrations. Unfortunately, some of the flaps (which hide objects until your audience lifts them) had been torn away. This is a fairly common occurrence with "flap books," so please don't be surprised if an infant or young child similarly lifts with a bit too much experience. Like a great sleepover, the book is simultaneously exciting and reassuring.

Where's Teddy?

Spot is going to spend the night at a friends. He packs alot of stuff and when he looks out the window he sees that his friend has a new slide. He goes over there and plays on his new slide. After they play on the slide they play on the tire swing. Steve's mom called the boys in and just then, Spot's mom brings him something in a bag. When they are laying down Steve asks Spot what his mom brought him but he said nothing. When Spot goes home the next day he thanks his mom for bringing his Teddy.
