Daughter loves it!
We got this book as a gift and it is one of my daughter's favorites. She is now three but we started reading it when she was nearly two. The illustrations are very cute and the text is fun and easy to read aloud. My daughter enjoys lifting the flaps and has memorized the text. My seven year old also enjoys listening to this book.

What's In The Box? (Ana's Mini Movers)

Fragile but a favorite
I'm re-buying this book for my one-year-old because she loves it so much. As the previous reviewer mentioned, it's easy for an enthusiastic toddler to rip the tabs from the pages. It's definitely a book to read with a parent "helping." My daughter adores this style of tab because it's easy to pull (she could do it at nine months). The illustrations are appealing and whimsical. There IS a ...

Whose Hat Is That? (Ana's Mini Movers)

Tiger Tales, 2004

Perfect for toddlers
My 16 month old son adores this book - the pages are thick enough that he won't rip/damage them, the pull out slots are simple enough for him to manipulate and the story is short and simple. I get a kick out of his responses to each page (ie when the donkey is revealed, he says "HI-ya" - his version of "Hee Haw").

Expected better
My son LOVES Goodnight, Baby - a similar book from ibaby, so I saw this and ordered it hoping it would be comparable. It does have the same physical components - pictures on strings that get placed where they belong - but the text is terrible. Each set of pages has only one, very simple sentence. I make up sound effects and additional text, which he likes, but I was disappointed by the book.

The Big Wide-mouthed Frog

one of the most fun to read aloud
My two year old squeals in delight when I read this tale of a pushy frog who asks too many questions. It's a great opportunity for an imaginative adult to try out different voices for the various animals. (I suggest a Foghorn Leghorn style voice for the frog.) Again, Daddy!

So, during the day (when he is supposed to be sleeping) Woo sneaks out of the house into the daylight and gets into a whole mess of trouble. Woo soon discovers that being a ghost in the day, is very dangerous and that maybe his parents knew what they were talking about all along. WOO! THE NOT SO SCARY ...

The Big Wide-Mouthed Frog

Candlewick, 1999

A great read-aloud book
This is a simple, no-frills book, but is great for reading aloud to pre-schoolers. The active dialogue between the frog and the various animals, is ideal for young children, with their typically short-attention spans. The book also introduces rather unusual animals to children, such as the possum and the emu. In short, a hilarious book, with an interesting twist at the end, and great value for ...

Packaged in a clear plastic display bag, the big, bright vinyl book opens to tell a funny little story about a dragonfly, a fish, a duck, and a frog. Baby can remove these characters from ...

Big Flap Foot Stomping Fun
This interactive children's book is great fun! It encourages you and your child to "stamp your feet," "smile," "whisper," "laugh," or "shout out boo," depending on who you find behind the flaps. The pictures are bright and attractive, featuring safari themes that include an elephant, giraffe, crocodile, kangaroo, and tiger. The flaps are big for little hands to pull back. Great fun for ...
