Favorite Peek-a-boo book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book was the first baby gift I received for my son. Due to his insatiable appetite for books (literally.... he eats them!) I kept this book away until he was getting over this phase. He's 14 mos old and this book is his favorite. It's great for him because he loves to flip through pages quickly, so the fact that there are only a couple of words per page works well for him. He isn't talking at all yet, but his first word will be one of the animal noises from this book! I only gave it 4 stars though, because the flaps are kinda flimsy in that they bend easily under the fingers of over-zealous little readers.

Nice little book 4 out of 5 stars.

It an nice interactive book. My daughter got a Spot book for gift and loved it, so I wanted to try other from the series. I was disappointed with the size, since the other book was bigger.

Editorial Review:

This chunky board book edition of Eric Hill's classic first lift-the-flap book receives a new brightly coloured cover. The simple text and colourful pictures will engage pre-readers as they lift the picture flaps in search of Spot. A No.1 bestseller since its first publication in 1980, this interactive favourite has stayed in the charts ever since.

We love Spot 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Spot the Dog books are a favourite with my girls. They love the simple stories that they can relate to (hiding, baking a cake, playing with others etc) and the lift-the-flaps always bring screams of delight even though we've read them many many times. As they grow I'm sure they'll be one of the books they learn to read with. The words are simple and the font easy to read. Lovely books to cuddle up with your children on your lap. They are also big enough to hold up and read to them as they sit in back seat on car trips.

Good, but not as good as `Where's Spot?' 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Although `Where's Spot' is my son's absolute favourite book, this did not meet with the same degree of enthusiasm.

That's not to say he doesn't like it, just not as much as `Where's Spot?' ... maybe it's the repetitive text in that one or maybe the novelty value was worn down, but both `Spot goes to the Farm' and `Spot Visits his Grandparents' seem to work as a "side-dish" for him i.e. only good alongside `Where's Spot', though does read both more often than most of his other books.

All in all, I'd say buy this book, but with `Where's Spot?'

Editorial Review:

The bestselling puppy is better than ever. Spot's 25th birthday presents are bold, beautiful color covers that give him a great new look. Enjoy Spot in paperback with full-color covers and traditional Lift-the-Flap features. Have more fun with Spot!

This book is written in the same style as all other Spot books. My daughter, 2, loves this book, especially when Daddy reads this with her. My son, 4, loves this one too. Great book, simple and easy to understand.

my boys love it when daddy reads this to them 5 out of 5 stars.

Cute book for Spot lovers 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is on par with the other Spot-series books. Cute little pictures, basic vocabulary and storylines, etc. My daughter loves to point out interesting things on each page, like the ducks at the park and the boat at the beach. Cute book about all of the fun things that Spot does with his daddy.

These books are very entertaining for children. They can't wait to hear them.

Great Board Book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a great addition to our Spot board book collection - cute story and perfect for kids who are too young to read the flap books on their own without tearing them(no flaps in the board books), but still want to read independently. In many years of teaching young children I never met one who didn't love Spot.

Editorial Review:

Whether playing ball in the park, feeding the ducks, or reading bedtime stories, Spot and his Daddy are great buddies. Perfect for Father's Day, as well as all year long, this happy and heartwarming book is great for sharing.

It's OK but not that great 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

We are big Spot fans, and I was excited when I was notified that this book was coming out. We received it as a gift. My kids weren't interested since it didn't have flaps and nothing happens in the story. Just a nice little tribute to Spot's mom... nothing special. I probably wouldn't have bought this one.

Okay, but NO flaps!! 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I'm a little annoyed, because unless I'm blind, the description of the book does not mention that there are no flaps, as in the other Spot books. I ordered this one as well as the similar "daddy" book and neither of them have the flaps, which is why I ordered them in the first place.

Great book 5 out of 5 stars.

We love all of the Spot books and would buy them all. We read them over & over.

I bought this book for my son who is 17 mos. old because he had the Spot Halloween book already and just loves it. He loves for us to read it over and over and over again and just loves to flip the pages....The colors are cheery and bright and the story is quick and easy

Editorial Review:

Spot loves spending time with his Mom.Whether playing hide-and-seek, baking a cake, or reading his favorite story, Spot and Mommy have lots of fun together. Perfect for Mother’s Day and all year long, this touching and heartwarming book is great for sharing.

Who's There, Spot?

Another winner for fans of Spot 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Following his proven formula, Hill has created another fun book that kids who love Spot are certain to enjoy.

In this one, Spot spends his time finding who's in certain places - at the door, in the laundry basket, in the playhouse, etc. For each case, there is a flap that your child can lift to view the character in each location, and the accompanying text is appropriately short to keep the focus on the illustrations and flaps.

If your child has enjoyed previous Spot lift-the-flap books, then there's no reason to think it will be any different with this title. I'd recommend this one, along with other Spot titles, to any parent whose child enjoys flap books.

Cute book 4 out of 5 stars.

This is an adorable book, as all Spot books are, however the coloring on the book is a bit mottled - that's why 4 stars.

Editorial Review:

Eric Hill continues the adorable tales of spot! someone is at the door—who can it be? it’s Helen the Hippo and tom the Alligator, ready to play. spot and his friends spend the day together, identifying who makes each sound during their travels—just as we do when we lift the flap on each page.

A fun book! 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book when my son was 6 months old. From the first reading, it's been one of his favorites. We started just pointing and naming objects: flowers, ball, house, etc. More than a year later, we're still reading it, but now we're counting the flowers, describing the ball's shape or the house's color, etc. It's proved to be versatile. The simple, yet pleasing, pictures of Spot splashing in the garden, in rain puddles, at the beach and in the bathtub are perfect for babies and toddlers. One caution: once my son learned to splash in the tub, we had to start explaining that we don't splash water all over the bathroom! I'd definitely buy it again.

Great book for little ones 5 out of 5 stars.

Fun in and out of the bath. My six month old loves the bright pictures and easy-to-grab texture. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Editorial Review:

This text contains three Spot stories taken from "Spot's Bedtime Storybook": "Spot goes Splash!", "Spot at the Fair" and "Sweet Dreams, Spot".

Goodnight Spot 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This a wonderful book to use as a bed time story. Children can see that even Spot has to go to bed when he is tired. It will help them see that they need to get into the habit of going to bed when they are tired.

A classic good night puppy story 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

My 9-month-old has loved this book since she was a newborn. It is short and simple, but the pages have bright colors with the cute puppy preparing for bed. He plays, baths, picks out a book and his parents read him to sleep. A classic that all babies should have in their library.

Very good book to travel with 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This is a wonderful book to read to your little one. I have a 10 month old that loves to hear this story. This book is fairly small so that I can just place it in her diaper bag and take it out when she gets cranky while we are out and about.

Editorial Review:

Spot has been very busy, and it's time to get ready for bed. After a bath and drying off in his warm, fuzzy towel, Spot chooses a favorite book for a bedtime story. Any young child can relate to the ritual of preparing for bedtime with this board book, now available with a bold, colorful cover.

My daughter's FAVORITE! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

My two-month-old daughter got this book for Christmas. I thought she was too young for it. Boy, was I wrong! It is her absolute favorite!! Now at nine months old, she is lifting all the flaps and turning the pages. She gets so excited when I open this book. I cannot recommend it enough. The pictures are bright, the words repetitious, and the flaps sturdy -- a perfect combination for babies and toddlers! From now on, this is the book I am going to buy whenever I need to buy a baby or toddler gift. No one will be disappointed with Where's Spot!

Where's Spot? ***VIDEO*** 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I am confused looking at the reviews here. They are all for the Spot book. The book is very good too, but the video (here on this page) is also great. I have it for my niece and also for my daughter, and am buying another copy for a baby gift for someone.

This video is great for a baby's first cartoon/TV to watch. It is not too "busy" (or too long) for babies like other cartoons can be. I noticed my daughter *really* watching it and smiling and laughing at it around four months old. And she has enjoyed it ever since (and is now 3). It's cute and simple - perfect for babies and toddlers.

With my daughter interested in Spot, it gave me time to do some dishes or read the day's mail - uninterupted! I highly recommend *ALL* the Spot videos (although the longer ones, like the Christmas one, my daugter didn't get into as much until she was about two). "Where's Spot" and "Spot at the Farm" are her favorites. And she enjoys the books too.

Also - I recommend Kipper the Dog videos too. They are also the same simple shapes/characters and sceneries and stories, just like Spot. And Maisy Mouse videos and books. I never see any babies and toddlers who don't like Spot, Kipper, and Maisy.The Baby Mozart videos are also excellent. Kids are drawn to them. None of the above are wastes of money - and they enjoy them from babyhood into toddlerhood.

Great book but we miss "lift the flap" 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

My little girl is 14 months old and really likes this book. Although she keeps feeling the pages looking for a lift the flap hidden bit! This is because all our other Spot book have this feature!!! Anyhow she loves it and we always read it before she heads off to bed!

Editorial Review:

Spot never looks forward to bedtime. He'd much rather stay up late and play with his toys instead! Will Spot ever be sleepy enough to go to bed?

My 2 year old's favorite! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is amongst my 2 year old son's favorite books, many of which are Spot books. He can recite the entire thing. It's a cute story about Spot meeting his friends, playing with them, losing his ball in the park, and encountering a new friend who is able to retrieve the ball. We love it! Five Stars!

Spot Goes to the Park 3 out of 5 stars.

The Book is about Spot the dog. In the book he goes to the park and meets some of his friends there. Spot and his friends play with a ball, and while playing with the ball it hits someone, and it also goes into the water. The ball got them into a little trouble, but they now need to get the ball out of the water.
The book teaches you that you need to be careful when playing. The age level is about 2-4 years.

cute, but not durable 2 out of 5 stars.

This is a cute story, but my 16-mo-old had the flaps ripped off three of the pages LITERALLY within 10 minutes after introducing this book. Even tho it is a board-book construction, the flaps are only paper and not built to last. With so many other titles to choose from, why bother?
