Two boys' review: Suess with simpler rhymes than Fox in Socks 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is one of our first bedtime books for our sons along with "Hop on Pop" and "The Foot Book". This beginner's book provides simple rhymes that are easy to learn and repeat.

We don't read this book as much anymore. We later graduated to "Fox in Socks." My oldest has returned to this book as an early reader. (I have to mix up the pages because my boys have much of the book memorized).

An Under-rated Classic!! 5 out of 5 stars.

"Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham" get all the fame and glory, and I actually don't remember ever reading "One Fish Two Fish" as a child. But I've discovered this book now that I have a three year-old of my own, and it has become our favorites. Dr. Seuss is exceptionally skilled at playing with words and rhymes and coming up with hilarious, fun, well-crafted sentences. This book contains some of his best work. The books make learning language great fun. I was amazed last night when my daughter started rattling off the sentences in the book from memory as I read it to her, and she had great fun doing it. A children's book that both children and adults can appreciate and one that inspires in children a love of learning language: what more could a parent want?

And one other editorial comment...now that I've spent much time scouring the library shelves for good books for my child, I have come to have tremendous appreciation for Dr. Seuss's talent and wit. Almost all children's book authors fall far short of the standard Dr. Seuss set decades ago. Give me "One Fish Two Fish" or "The Lorax" over "The Polar Express" any day!

Editorial Review:

This is one fish you can take a bath with! Dr. Seuss's all-time favorite One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish is now a Bright and Early Bath Book. Four colorful spreads based on the original story let kids make a splash with funny fish from here to there!

Grandchild far away???? 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My granddaughter is only 20 months old and lives in Australia. I live in Philadelphia. I have actually seen her in person only 3 times since she was born. We "meet" on line about once a week with webcams ready. Although she speaks well, she's not quite ready for a full discussion. But, when she came to visit at 16 months, she really knew me instantly!

I had the idea that we could "read" together, so I ordered several Dr. Seuss books - 2 of each - from Amazon.com. She gets to choose the book, and I have my copy near at hand. We can not only read, but I can also point out the various pictures.

Last week, when reading "Hands Hands Fingers Thumb," I decided to bring out an African drum I have in the house. My daughter brought out one she had at her house, and my granddaughter and I played the drums together. "One thumb, one thumb, drumming on the drum. Dum ditty dum ditty dum dum dum." We were both laughing hard and had a great time. It was the first time I felt we were able to play together. Thanks, Amazon!

Editorial Review:

A toe-tapper babies will love--the classic Seussian book about opposites:

Not what I expected- 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this book because it is written in Spanish with English subtitles and I thought it would be a fun way to teach Spanish to my two year old son. But the book lacks imagination and excitement. It is almost weird to read. I've been reading to my little boy since he was a newborn and needless to say, he loves being read to. He knows what he likes and will pick out the book he wants me to read to him. He was intrigued by the book cover and asked me to read it to him. Not one minute into the reading, he was already picking out another book! I thought it could be the age factor so I read it to my friend's 6 year old- the result was the same! If you're looking for a good book that will capture your little one's attention and will contribute to his/her bilingual needs, this is NOT the book- However, this is my opinion, and it is not necessarily what you may experience if you were to read it to your child.

I hope my review is helpful =o)

Yes Yes! A Box of Board Books 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Wonderful books. Excellent for small children.
I love the way that she explains little things.
The most important is that this is a set of three books.

Great to start or add on Patricelli's collection 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My 16 months daughter likes all the Patricelli's books so far. I think my husband & I like the books more. It's a great tool to teach little ones about lots of things; what is OK to eat, what is not (Yummy, Yucky), Manners (No No Yes Yes) etc. If this is your fist time buying Patricelli's book, this 3 books bundle is a good deal. Enjoy!!!

A Favorite in Our House! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My son loves these Patricelli board books so much, he asks for them daily! In fact, "No, No, Yes, Yes" was the very first book he ever "read" to me at 1 1/2! The easy, repetitive text makes it simple for little ones to read, and the lively illustrations hold lots of context clues for understanding. We often give these books as birthday gifts, and everyone enjoys them!

An All-Time Favorite of My Daughter 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is an all-time favorite of my daughter's. My husband and I read it too my daughter so much that we have the entire thing memorized. We recite in the car, while shopping and anywhere we are. I don't really know what mesmorizes her about it, but it has been a lifesaver for us. I highly recommend these Bright and Early Board Books.

Memories for life 5 out of 5 stars.

We purchased this book for our daughter because my husband remembers it from when he was a child. We hope these memories will last as long for our daughter.

FAVORITE BEDTIME BOOK 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR MY BOYS-WE READ IT ALMOST RELIGIOUSLY EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BED.THEY ARE TO THE POINT NOW WHERE THEY CAN ALMOST FINISH OFF THE SENTENCES BEFORE WE READ THEM! HIGHLY RECOMMEND-DELIGHTFUL BOOK-CUTE DRAWINGS.

A Real Disappointment 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The paper version of this book was my brother's favorite when he was little. This was a real disappointment! There are not many pages. There is nothing interactive. And there is no surprise party in a big tree at the end. Add to that, the pictures are faint and not likely to hold up to washing. Save your money. Get the real Seuss version of this book when your child is older.

Editorial Review:

Where are these dogs going? P. D. Eastman's all-time favorite Go, Dog. Go! is now a cuddly Bright and Early Cloth Book. Four fun spreads, based on the original story, show dogs going up and down and all around!

We really like this 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is one of the earlier Berenstain Bear books, and it shows. Ignore the cover, the bears on the *inside* of this book are less stylized and cutesy than the bears in the newer books, and the story is an early reader instead of a longer read-aloud.

It's a cute little story about a cub and his misadventures in a box. The illustrations make it perfect :)

There are only a few words per page, so this one is perfect both for early readers and for little-little ones learning to talk - the book focuses on prepositions, as you might guess from the title.

Good for Learning 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is not what I'm used to from the Berenstain Bears paperback books: lessons on growing up from Brother and Sister. It is, however, very good for teaching my 15 month old about inside, outside, upside down, right side up. She enjoys the book, but not as much as many of her other books that have more things going on.

Editorial Review:

Brother Bear gets into a box. Papa Bear turns the box upside down, takes it outside, and puts it on a truck. The simple art and rhyming text make this a perfect choice for teaching spatial concepts.

The best opposites book! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is one of our favorite books! My son loves seeing the dinosaurs and I really like reading it. It is the best opposites book I've seen, most are boring, but this one is really fun. He loves saying "bye bye" at the end to the dinosaurs too, it's just too cute!

Great for any toddler! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

All of Sandra Boynton's books are a hit at our house, but Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs! is the favorite. The catchy rhymes and funny pictures are a great way to introduce the concept of opposites, counting and colors to small children.

t was okay. 4 out of 5 stars.

Ultimately we love Sandra Boynton. She has a great writing style for little kids.

Another Boynton book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Gosh we love Sandra Boynton around here. Boy does she write great books.

This is a quick book of rhymes which *mostly* show opposites (dinosaur weak, dinosaur strong, dinosaurs singing a dinosaur song!) Very fast to read, and cute, engaging pictures for little ones.

Editorial Review:

Happy and sad. Good and bad. Opposites take on a whole new meaning when illustrated by a gang of personable dinosaurs. A die-cut cover opens to reveal chunky pages full of delightful dinosaurs singing, dancing, lumbering, galloping, and gallivanting. On board pages with a die-cut cover. This book is a main selection of the Children's Book-of-the-Month Club.

Great book for toddlers 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book tells a terrific story with only three words: "hug," "mama," and "bobo!" (Bobo is the name of the chimp.) I've given this book numerous times as a gift because it is perfect for toddlers--wonderful drawings and a lovely story about a mom who returns to give her child a hug. My kids loved to "read" the book with me, saying "hug!" at each picture of animals hugging. And we never failed to give each other big hugs at the end of the story.

This is one book worth trying to keep around for our grandkids!

Editorial Review:

"Like a wordless book, the story unfolds through a series of expressive pictures. . . .Alborough makes clear . . . the elation the animals gain from their shared affection." —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)


Bobo needs a hug. But his friends don't seem to understand. "Hug," he implores, time and again. Time and again his puzzled pals — from the smallest chameleon to the tallest giraffe — shrug and cuddle with their jungle mothers. As the lonely chimp's plea escalates, his friends grow concerned. Can the elephants lead Bobo to his heart's desire? Jez Alborough transforms a total of three words — and some of the most tenderly expressive animals ever created — into an endearing tribute to love and belonging.

Not Olivia's best 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My kids LOVE Olivia, but this one falls short. It is short and has no real story.

Nothing special, unless you just LOVE Olivia 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

If you are an Olivia nut, then I guess I can see the appeal, but otherwise, there is absolutely nothing special about this book. The photos are dull, the choices of opposites are nothing interesting, and I don't find the photos very intuitive for explaining them. Looks like just another way to make a few bucks from what others seem to explain are already drawn pictures thrown into a new format.

Try BIG Little or Quiet LOUD by Leslie Patricelli for good explorations of those words at least...really relevant ones for little kids (there's also Yummy Yucky, but I haven't read that one yet!)

NOT WORTH IT!!!! 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is not worth it. It is too short with one word pages. It's cute but not worth buying. After reading other Olivia books, I was extremely disappointed when I got it in the mail.

Editorial Review:

Come and go with Olivia!

In this enchanting board book, toddlers will join everyone's favorite piglet as they learn about opposites.

I was disappointed in this book as it was much smaller book than what I thought I was buying

Ok but not SO catchy. 2 out of 5 stars.

Some of the bright and early board book series are brilliantly catchy and rhythmic, this one is simple and cute but not a real attention grabber. Quite good for showing opposites and new words though.

We LOVE this book 5 out of 5 stars.

We have this book in paperback, and my 3 year old daughter has loved it since she was 2. It is the perfect bedtime story and very funny to read!!! Please note, the paperback version may have more content.

Another awesome addition to a childs library. My son loved this one and we had to read it almost every night at least once...before going to bed.
He , eventually, could read it to me and always remainded one of his favorite books.

Editorial Review:

A condensed, board-book version of the P. D. Eastman canine classic Big Dog . . . Little Dog, staring Fred and Ted—mutts who are opposite in every way, but best friends nevertheless.
