One of our favorites

We picked up Monday because he just looked fun when we were pregnant and did not really know what to look for in a baby book. Luckily, over our daughter's first year it has developed into her favorite. Now that she is older and can understand the reflection at the end is her's - oh what joy!

They don't come cuter than this!

What an absolutely adorable hand puppet book! Excellent choice for a child whose sensory learning is very tactile. Such a sweet story, short, with a great ending. Giggles abound! Would highly recommend it for any child 12 to 36 months. Well worth your time and money! It is made well and will be a great keepsake. Wonderful baby gift or shower gift.

Get 'Tails' instead

I got this book because another Van Fleet book (Tails) has been a run-away hit with the toddlers I know. Incidentally, the book/puppet is larger than I expected, which is neither good or bad, just unexpected.

The first criticism is I was expecting a functional book puppet. While you do stick your hand into the frog and open his mouth, you have to control the pages with your free hand. The pages can be difficult to open wide enough to get a good look at them when there is a hand inside of the puppet part.

Secondly, while most storylines for kids this age are pretty weak, this one was just plain dumb - although the idea sounds promising, the book didn't deliver. It is about the different things a bullfrog eats during the week, with him eating 'you' showing a mirror on the last page. One child went into hysterics at the end when she found out the frog wanted to eat her. Granted, she's not the bravest kid in existence, but I generally try not to frighten little kids out of their wits on a regular basis.

On the positive side, the tactile elements are wonderful, as I've come to expect of Van Fleet.

It made for a nice shower present (for a boy =), but it's not something I'll keep in my kids' bookshelf - and that poor girl who was so frightened still asks about the frog when she comes over. Tails, on the other hand, is used so much that it never has time to get onto the bookshelf. If you don't have Tails, buy that instead. If you already have Tails, I would be content with that instead of getting this one.

Great toy

My son loves this book and enjoys all the textures and colors. It also has a mirror in the back for a cute ending. It is bigger than I thought it would be but a ton of fun. FYI, if you join the Borders reward club you can get a coupon for 30% off and use it for this item at your local Borders store. Worth it for the smile on my son's face. I have also bought 3 more as birthday presents and they seem to be a hit! Highly recommend.
