My 5 year old is just starting to read and this was a great book for him to work his way through. Buyer beware - This is more advanced then a Bob's Books type series.

A good book for a kindgartener 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this book for my 6-year old son. He likes it very much and he is very proud of reading the book by himself. Additionally, the pictures are very nice and vivid.

great sticker fun for toddlers and preschoolers 5 out of 5 stars.
29 of 29 people found this review helpful.

For a recent trip we bought a large number of sticker and activity books for our toddler. These in the Sticker Stories series were very popular and helped make the trip a pleasant one.

There are seven colorful two-page spreads and one one-page picture on which to place stickers. These show various scenes from the Max & Ruby television show, including a tea party, cleaning Max's room, a visit from Louise, making a cake for Grandma and buying Grandma a birthday present. There are over 70 reusable stickers to place within these scenes, and they're labelled as to which pages they apply.

We will definitely buy more activity books from this series.

Awesome book 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This was a fantastic little sticker book, my three year old daughter loved being able to move Max and Ruby around and make her own story. I really like this book brings hours of entertainment.

Editorial Review:

It's a busy week for Max and Ruby: there's shopping to do, tea parties to throw, and cakes to bake for Grandma's birthday. From Monday to Sunday and every day in between, the fun never stops when you're hanging out with these two funny bunny siblings.

Blue's a Hit 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I know Blue's biggest fan. His name is Jaylon and he's 19 months old. Blue can do no wrong and this book does not disaapoint. Steve and Blue take you through Blue's bedtime ritual. The steps are simple, the pictures are colorful, it's small enough to carry around and the book is sturdy enough to withstand eight teeth.

Super Cute 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is cute and the perfect bedtime story for my 2 year old. There are several "bedtime" plots among the Blue's Clues set and they all do a good job of easing into slumber land by coming to a peaceful place at the end of the story.

Really cute 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is really cute. If your kids like Blue, it is a great book. My son is 17 mos and likes to sit in his chair and look at the pictures.

It is a pretty good bedtime book, which is the reason I bought it. I got sick of "Goodnight Moon".

It starts out like the show does- shot of Steve's house, "Hey there..." Then it goes through Blue's whole bedtime routine. then it says "Good Night, its time to go to bed now..." It is cute and I recommend it.

Editorial Review:

Look for additional Blue's Clues books -- board books, sticker books, and more!

Son's Favorite 4 out of 5 stars.

What can I say, 3 year olds love Dora and my son is no different. He really enjoyed this book.

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

My 2 year old loves reading this book right before bedtime. The lift-a-flap is fun too. She loves saying goodnight to all the animals as they are going to bed. Best of all, you get to say goodnight to Dora at the end of the book.

Who's making that sound? 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My 4-year old really enjoys this book. Dora and Boots are making their way home for bedtime, and along the way they hear various animals making noises. It's interactive as well as just fun to peek under the flaps and find out who's making the sounds. Not recommended for children who still rip book pages--the flaps would be too tempting.

Good Night, Dora! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is such a sweet book. My Grandaughter loves it and even my 15 month old Grandson gets a kick out of lifting the flaps while you read it. Dora teaches such good lessons and this book is no exception. Buy it - your children will love it.

Editorial Review:

Shh...It's almost bedtime, and Dora and Boots are heading home. Along the way they hear some animal sounds. Who's making them? Readers can lift the flaps to find out -- and learn to say good night, just like Dora.

Great Book About Stranger Danger............ 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This issue is one of the biggest, when it comes to a child's safety, and well being.
Kidnappings have risen over the years, with the changes into today's society. Children are extremely visible to predators. Criminals have found much easier ways, of gaining information, about your child. If these strangers have enough about the child, their family, their friends, being approached, with small talk, could convince a young person to fall into their deadly trap.
These offenders no longer need a street, an internet connection, is all the better.
Though net safety is not included in this book, the basic concepts can fit into about any stranger danger conflicts.
It is a starting source, which aims not to frighten the youngster. It is to help instill safety, in similarity to stop, drop, and roll for fire safety.
After reading with a child, allow for stranger questions. Ask, and help a child setup a safety plan.
Come up with ground rules, the child understands, when dealing with unfamiliar individuals, or places.
Explain the safest places to go if they become lost. Discuss being home alone, and how to handle phone calls,or someone at the door, could allude to the child being alone!

Editorial Review:

When Papa Bear tells the cubs why they should never talk to strangers, Sister begins to view all strangers as evil until Mama brings some common sense to the problem. "The Bears' rules for safe conduct among strangers are listed on the last pages, including a rule about the privacy of a bear's body. A good book to start awareness in young children."--School Library Journal.

Good book for kids 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The DK early reading program is exceptional. Licensing popular franchises for different levels. Anakin is rated 2, while the companion book, Watch out For Jabba the Hut is level 1.

For those who have seen the Clone Wars, this is a good way to explain the story to young viewers. With art taken from the film, these books are topical, and use appropriate vocabulary. Want to raise a young Star Wars fan, pick these up and before long, you'll find your child reading any one of the Star Wars novels.

Great job. Simon Beecroft has a remarkable skill in writing for different age groups.

Keep up the great work DK.

Editorial Review:

Since the first time we heard Luke Skywalker ask Obi-Wan Kenobi "You fought in the Clone Wars!?" in Episode IV: A New Hope, fans the world over have been wondering exactly what the Clone Wars were and what clones in combat would look like. On August 15th, 2008, with the theatrical release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, much will be explained. The Clone Wars take place between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Lucasfilm is now bringing the wars to life in an all-new CGI animated series.

The theatrical release will launch this groundbreaking computer-generated animated series, which will then debut on Cartoon Network and TNT in the fall. New characters like female Padawan Ahsoka Tano join old favorites Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, Count Dooku, General Grievous, and others as the Jedi cross lightsabers with the dark side yet again.

Nice book for Caillou fan 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a nice book for a kid who likes the Caillou cartoon. The drawings are a bit different from the cartoon but still recognizable as the Caillou characters from the show.

Sturdy pages! Short story. 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

We love this book for our 2 year old, who loves Caillou. The illustrations are a bit different from the PBS series, but still recognizable.

The story is very short and some of the conversation seems awkward. But still gets the point across.

Potty Training Getting Easier 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this book for my 2 1/2 year old son. Caillou is his favorite cartoon. Although the artist rendition of Caillou does not look exactly like the cartoon figures on PBS or DVD's. My son was able to identify with Caillou in the book. That was step one. The more we put him on the potty (along with ready the book to him while on the potty) the less he fought with my wife and me about potty time. The second big step is that he can recite almost every word on every page. He understands that "everyone goes to the potty". This book has helped. Although every child is different, it may be worth getting the book if your child is a Caillou fan. I believe the most important factor with this book is that your child makes a connection with the cartoon character and for them to understand that there TV idols have to go to the potty!

Editorial Review:

In this delightful story Mommy has a surprise for Caillou: a potty! Though initially uninterested, Caillou eventually decides that he wants to be a "big boy" and learns to ask for the potty when he needs it. He is rewarded with a sense of accomplishment and independence.

This book has lots of flaps for kids to look under. The book also follows the movie Elmo in Grouchland to a large degree. My 2 yr old daughter loves Elmo and loves lifting flaps so this is a hit with her.

Great! 5 out of 5 stars.

We got this for our 18 month old son for Christmas. He loves this book. You ask him where certain characters are and he points to them or lifts the flap to expose them. This is definitely a great book for a little one.

Uh-oh! Elmo has lost his blanket! Young readers can help Elmo in his search by lifting over 30 flaps to reveal dozens of super Sesame Street surprises.
