Family FavoriteOctober 13, 2008 This book is a family favorite. Our children are 16, 14 and 12. Memories of times reading this book still elicit smiles from them. At night, when they were young, we started at the beginning of the book, picked out favorites and read until we ended with "Good Night, Good Night". Each night it seemed that our "read" got a little longer, because there were more favorites.
When choosing a gift for new parents, this is a must buy!
One of My FavoritesJuly 5, 2008 Reading to your children at a young age teaches children valuable reading skills (especially if you ask the right questions to make them think) and to love reading. This is a great book. Buy this along with my other two favorites:Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Success andThe Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail. Young children will love the stories and the invaluable teaching guides make them must-have books for every parent and teacher bookshelf.
A poetry lover is born!December 31, 2007 I gave this book and 2 others to my 6 1/2 year old niece for Christmas. She started reading the book Christmas day and asked for book marks to mark her favorite poems so she can take the book to school and share them with her classmates! The pictures and the poems drew her in and engaged her immediately. You cannot ask more from a children's book.
really cuteSeptember 9, 2007 All sorts of rhymes by different authors, about all sorts of topics. Great for the earliest years.
Some really good and very original rhymesFebruary 19, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
These are not classic, everyday rhymes. Many of my books have the same old stuff over and over again e.g. Jack and Jill. This book has stuff like "The Dreadful Doings of Jelly Belly" and all sorts of amazing stuff. I read this one on my own, and if dad has time he reads me some of the more complicated ones. I like it.
