My Favorite Children's Book!

+ Phenomenal, dreamy bedtime story

This is a fantastic child's book! It is gorgeously illustrated with mysterious, lush, beautiful night scenes; the text is rhythmic, soothing, subtle poetry of the highest quality. I've been reading this book to my niece for three years and she loves it still! When she was four I'd read it to her ...

Great in so many ways!!

+ Charming!
+ Great and unusual book for children.

My daughter (age 3) and I love this book. The words are simple and repetitive -- great for learning to read. The pictures are very well done. There are flaps to lift up which involve the child in the telling of the story and there is the opportunity to teach your child about different ...

A book about baboons?

+ Baboon Butts and More!

Baboons? Who want this kind of book? Weren't they ugliest monkeys? No, this books shows you a very different world. Even if you're an adult, you'll find this book a nice bed time reading.

Great for new mom & dad!

+ Check out the illustrations!
+ A total delight in both text and illustration.

This book was written for us!!My husband & I started reading to our daughter Hannah shortly after her birth. Of course our first children (our dogs) were very jealous of all the attention and we felt bad for them. When we found this touching story, it quickly became our favorite. Thank you, ...

Waiting for Baby15 reviews
Harriet Ziefert

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1998

Great book for smaller kids!

+ Great Book But A Little Advanced For My Little One
+ To help toddlers and pre-schoolers to wait!!!

I bought this book for my 2 year old twins to help them understand that we're having a new baby. I loved the little boy in the story (especially the songs he sings to the baby in order to get it to come out of his mom's tummy!) and it was very well written for the audience.

Toddler pleasing book on potty training!

+ Adorable potty book! The best we have.
+ Does a Bear use the potty? No..but my son does!

Max's Potty is a playful and very entertaining book about potty training. My toddler daughter really enjoyed this book and asked for it "again, again". I think a more appropriate age for this book is 2 to 3 years old rather than 4 to 8 years old as is listed.

Taro Gomi

Kane/Miller Book Pub, 1993

Subtle, but gets the clear message across

+ Good practice for parents to talk to kids about stuff...
+ Good book for little ones

My 2 year old daughter loves animals and when she was only really talking for a couple months, 50% of her vocabulary was probably the names of the different animals. Thus, it was no big surprise that she LOVES this book. I got it because my pediatrician talked to me about potty training at our 2 ...
