Perfect size for baby
This book is small - about 3" square. It's the perfect size for little hands. I gave the book to my daughter at 8 months. She loves to hold it in her lap and "read" it. The thick pages are easy to turn and the book is just the right size for her to hold - many other books are too large for her to control. Each page has a different "style" of picture - a drawing, a photograph, an artistic rendering...with a simple phrase to go with each ("All birds have feathers", "This bird can swim"). This book is also a great take-along toy, you can slip it into a diaper bag or even a small purse.

Love the Pictures
I bought this book when I was an education major in college. The text in this book is very simple, so it is easy for little ones to understand.

What really caught my eye were the pictures. There are paintings, drawings and photos. My favorite picture in the book is a photo of a little duckling. The camera can see above and below the water, so the picture is just awesome.

The pictures are worth it. There are different colors, different kinds of birds, different textures. I think that it is a really creative way to introduce a child to art.

The best way to encourage a child to read is to have books in the home.

Surprisingly GREAT!
My daughter *loves* this book. I didn't think she would not like it per say, but I didn't realize she would enjoy it to the extent that she does. It is little, perfect for her little hands to hold. Plus, it is a picture of birds from various pieces of art. It is a beautiful little book. I highly recommend it. ... Read more

My 1 year old loves this book!
My 1 year old son loves this book! He will rarely sit for any other book. We have yet to read the actual text, but he loves to play peek-a-boo with the animals. He stops fussing in his carseat when I hand him this book to look at. He can manage the sliding pages by himself. What a fun book. The illustrations are bright and alluring. Our favorite page is the gorilla. I plan on ordering more sliding surprise books!

Great Book for a Baby
My son has had this book since he was 3 months old, and is now 12 months. After he figured out, about a month ago, that we would read him any book he brought us, he started bringing us this book about 6 to 8 times a day! He simply loves this book and never gets tired of it. I'm thinking our copy is going to wear out soon. The frog page gets a giggle from him every time. A good investment if you have a baby.

Guaranteed to get a smile...
We received this book as a baby gift from a thoughtful friend. We started reading it at bedtime (and now anytime) to our newborn and she just loves it. It is guaranteed to get a big smile from her. She's 6 months old now and gets a story or two every night before bed. Who's Peeking is definitely one of her favorites. She loves playing Peekaboo, so this book is great fun. The colorful pictures and simple text are great for little babies who don't have the patience for longer books. Yes, her little hands can't open the pages yet, but she's at a stage where she doesn't mind if Mommy or Daddy does all the work. We plan to give this as a gift to a friend's new baby.
Highly recommended!

Bedtime routine
I got this for my son Graham's first birthday. He is almost 2 and we must read this every night before bedtime. If I try to skip it he stands up in his crib and points to his bookshelf until I grab Look Who's Peeking. I have bought this for other children as gifts. This needs to be on your child's bookshelf!

Great book but watch out for fustration
I say this cuz though I agree with all the reviews about what a great book this is, the pull out pages are alittle hard for small hands to slide in and out....leading to some fustration for toddlers who her do-it- themselfers or who say constantly "I DO IT!".....I began to avoid the book at reading time just cuz of this cuz my daugheer would get upset at not being able to do it.....luckily after awhile my daughter came to terms that if she wanted to read the book I'd have to slide out the pages for awhile...last time we read it at 25 mos., she slid them out fine....back in was alittle harder..: )

But I agree, a great, fun, colorful book... ... Read more

Book Description

Who comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve to bring presents to good little bunnies? Santa Claus, that's who! And Max wants to stay up and see him. Max's bossy, older sister Ruby doesn't want him to stay awake, but, as always, irrepressible Max has other ideas. He sneaks downstairs to wait for Santa...with unexpected results!

Max is at it again!!
A great book for Max and Ruby fans! It's not too long with just a few sentences on each page and the illustrations are great! It holds my 3 year olds attention all the way through and even gives the parents a chuckle when Max comes back with his own answer of "Because!!" (I'm sure that's just payback for all the times our kids have to hear that answer!) I highly recommend this book!

Max Enchants Again
We absolutely love the Max & Ruby books. Max's Christmas was one of last year's gifts to my toddler munchkins. They love it and they just can't get enough of Max and his bossy-but-loving sister, Ruby. Max's Christmas takes Max through the Christmas Eve bedtime preparations, with Ruby helping him brush his teeth and put on pajamas. "Why?" asks Max. "Because," says Ruby. Max wants to know why he can't stay up to see Santa and, after Ruby puts him to bed, he decides to take his blanket downstairs and just see for himself. Max falls asleep, Santa comes down the chimney (Santa is a bunny, of course), and Max wakes up. Santa tells Max to go back to sleep. Max asks, "Why?" Santa replies, "Because!"

Kids love this book because they identify so completely with Max, even kids who don't have bossy big sisters. Max's adventures mirror those of all little children who are trying to figure out their often confusing world. ... A full Max & Ruby library is one of the best ongoing gifts for pre-school children.

I love Max!
Rosemary Wells' Max and Ruby books are the best books for small children of all time, and Max's Christmas is the best of the best. The focus of the book is Max asking his older sister Ruby a thousand questions about Santa Claus that she can not answer (until, an exasperated Ruby finally screams BECAUSE! and refuses to answer any more questions). If you've dealt with any 2 to 4 year old at Christmas time, this will seem so real you won't be able to keep a straight face. It's just a pure delight.

The illustrations are more detailed, and the colors more interesting than in the Max board books. It's done in a way that the pictures all look bathed in candlelight, which creates a perfect atmosphere for the book. That's one of the things that makes this book even better than the other books in the series.

The recommendations for this book say it is for toddlers to pre-school children, but my kids continued to love it and want to hear it every year until they were about eight. My son loved it so much that I have him on tape reciting it by heart at age three.

If you have little ones to read to at Christmas, this is a must-have!

Max's Santa FAQ
It's Christmas, and Ruby is trying to get her little brother Max ready for bed, and answer his questions about Santa. See what happens when Max has to see for himself. Fun book, because most of Max's dialog is made up of the questions toddler's ask 1,000 times a day, especially: "Why?"! ... Read more

Rock Star Babies!
These books are so cute. There are several of them in the series. They use the lyrics from popular Motown songs with pictures of various happy babies.

The books are heavy cardboard so if you have a child that is just at the point of trying to turn the pages by themselves they won't rip the pages. They are also well sized for little hands.

The babies are a multicultural lot with both mommies and daddies represented so chances are you will find babies, and parents, that look just like you.

And since the words are really song lyrics they are easily sung or spoke in a rhythm that children should like.

Too cute! Gotta sing along!
Perfect book for both my girls! The baby is biracial and it's so hard to find anything that isn't all blonde hair and blue eyes! These books are cute, fun and we all know the words! Only complaint: HARD TO FIND! Even here, unless you know what you are looking for! But worth the search! ... Read more

fun for mom, dad and baby
We came upon Tumble Bumble because we loved "If you give a Pig a Pancake" and the other books by the same author. The animals look like ones we would like to be friends with! My daughter loves the picture at the end of the book with all the animals in bed together and the spider coming to join them. Such a happy book. GREAT book as a gift in board book style for little hands. Love it!

A Wonderful Book
This book was given to my son as a gift. I have been reading it to him since he was about 8 months old. I even have it memorized. He absolutely loves this book. He is now 17 months old and still brings it to me to read to him. He even sits and looks at it himself at least once a night. We have read it so many times that the board pages are bent and creased. I will probably have to buy a new one for him soon. The text rhymes and has a smooth flow. The illustrations are very pleasing. The big "HOORAY!" at the end perfectly describes my son's reaction to this book. I highly recommend this book to any parent looking for a great read for their infant/toddler.

My favorite book for toddlers!
This is my all-time favorite toddler book. My daughter loves it, but I think I might like it even more. I have it memorized and always make it one of the books we read each time we sit down. You'll love this book, the illustrations, the rhymes, and the story. (I bet your child even loves it too!)

This one's a charmer!
I don't give 5 stars to many children's books (except Boynton books). Tumble Bumble earns all 5 though. The rhymes are cute, the story sweet and drawings warm and clear.

Hurray
The last page of this book sums it up perfectly, "Hurray!" My 17 month old loves this book. The rhymes match perfectly and she loves to look at the animals. She has begun to say some parts of the story with me and always yells "Hurray!" at the end of the story. This is another book we will read repeatedly. ... Read more

It's weirded-out time!
The other day I caught a glance at this book at a local close-out store, and decided to give it a look. After reading it from cover to cover in a matter of a minute (I don't think there's more than 100 words in it anyway), and tryin' out the "flush" noise dealie, I was kinda creeped out by it all. Especially disquieting was the flush sound, which dragged on a bit too long. And the addition of some kid's way-too-gleeful laughter near the end didn't help matters. As for the text and illustrations, there's nothing all that shocking here; I've seen far more graphic & descriptive stuff in other toilet-training tomes. Put it all together, and you've got something that further bolsters my assertion that I'm never, ever EVER gonna have kids. #ell, I can hardly stand most adults-- ya think I'm gonna have the patience and maintain the proper temperament to teach some little ankle-biting hellspawn how to use the can properly? I don't think so...

'Late

Too much flushing sound
I bought this book for my son who is almost 2. It tells the story okay, but the flushing sound is overdone. The sound goes on and on and finishes with laughter. It interferes with the flow of the story. My son doesn't even have the patience for it. I'm sure the book will be helpful to some degree.

My son loves this book
I got this book for my one year old son and he just adores it. He carries it with him everywhere and it's always by the potty with some other books also. This book has helped him with potty training. This is a great buy.

Great Book, but has battery problems
My son loves this book. It really is helping us with toilet training. My big complaint is that you cannot replace the battery in the "flushing" button. I had to buy another copy because my son was upset when the battery died. I cannot see any way to replace the battery. ... Read more

OK book
"Inside, Outside, Upside Down," by Stan and Jan Berenstain

In this story, it tells about how a young bear cub goes into a box and the box is picked up upside down on a dolly. He is then taken outside and loaded onto a truck and the truck then starts to go up a hill to go into town. As the truck is going up the hill the box bounces off and he lands right side up...This book is an easy book to read for a little child to read during his or her free time, or they can read the book to you. This would be a good book to read to your child...

Inside Outside Upside Down
Inside Outside Upside Down was a very cute book. This story really has no moral; it's just a cute book to read. It talks about how the boy bear cub goes into a box and gets turned upside down on a truck and drives into town and comes back the very same way. I wouldn't recommend this book to any child if you are looking for something educational, it's just a fun book to read over and over again. But I would recommend it just for fun!

4 Years Old...
If you read this to your child enough times, s/he just might surprise you by picking it up one day and reading it to him/herself. That's what happened to my mother when I was but a wee 4 years old. This book will always hold a special place in my heart. I know that my daughter will enjoy it too, even if she's already reading "Hop on Pop" by herself. (And she's only 4 too.)

Inside Outside Upside Down
This book is a good book for children because it makes them think. It talks about him, going inside a box, then its turned upside down, then he goies outside, and it talks about all of the directions he goes while he is inside the box. Thats why it makes you think. You have to try to figure out the order and everything. So that is why i think this book is a good one for younger children. It makes them use their heads.

My son's favorite book
This book is great - (...)when I read it aloud, it's kind of fun for adults to read, too. Out of all the books we have, I'd say this book is one of the top 2 my son wants to have read over and over. When we're not reading it, he flips through it on his own and looks at the clearly drawn, colorful, interesting pictures, which have just enough detail without being too complicated. The depictions of different kinds of trains are fairly accurate, too. And the book is a good length - not just a few pages, like some board books, but not so long he loses interest.

A can't lose book for a toddler boy!
My son got this book when he was 18 months old and he LOVES it! It is simple enough to keep his attention and not bore him with too many words. The pictures are perfect. I would ask questions about what he saw in the picture and he would point things out. We counted how many houses, how many trees, how many train cars. We noticed that all the people at the train station were wearing hats, and on the train they were not. I know this book by heart now and I'm not sick of it. My son is now 2 and 1/2 and he still wants to read this book.

Mom of a train lover
My son is 2 1/2 we first discovered Barton's "Trucks" book from our local library. My son loved it to pieces and the librarians were kind enough to let us buy it. I have had to make repairs to the book often as it has been such a prized possession. My son is now very into trains. All his toys are now lined up around the house and have become "choo choo's." I was so excited to find out the same person who wrote and illustrated the "Trucks" book has a book on trains. We got it for my son yesterday. His dad had to read it for him 5 times in a row last night. It was misplaced when it was time for a bedtime story and my son cried. He found it again this morning and has hardly put it down since. It is an instant favorite.

A colorful book for little train fans
My son is a train fanatic. We bought this book for him when he was a year old. He wanted it read to him constantly and before too long, we all knew it by heart! The book has fallen apart after 4 years of constant reading, carrying and as a bedtime companion. We would recommend Trains to anyone who has a child interested in these huge machines! We are going to get another copy of the book for our youngest son.

Where's my train book?!
I gave this book to my 3 year old son shortly before he and my husband were taking a train trip. I thought he would enjoy it since he loves trains so much, but I didn't realize that he would become completely attached to it! He hasn't let this book out of his sight and wants us to read it to him all the time. Since he has memorized the words, he even reads it to himself. Great book for a pre-schooler who is fascinated with trains or for a child who will be taking a trip on a train! ... Read more

A great devotional Bible for very young children
One of my goals with all four of my children is to instill in them the desire to have a daily quiet time with the Lord, and so I do a short devotion with each of them before bedtime. I am using the Baby Bible Storybook with my 22-month-old. It is a hand-me-down from Big Sister, and has served us well through the years. With bright, eye-catching illustrations, simple text, hand-motions, and an easy-to-mimic prayer at the end of each story, it is perfect as a devotional Bible for very young children. My older daughter used it until she was about 3 1/2.

My 2-yr old discovered this book and loves it!
We received this book in a big box of hand-me-down baby & toddler books. I just threw it in my kids' book drawer, never thinking we would read it, but my 2-yr old daughter found it and now she reads it every night, flipping through to her favorite stories. We're not a religious family, not even church-goers, but now that our daughter is so interested in learning about baby Jesus and the other stories in this book, we may try to bring religion - or at least some form of spirituality - into our lives a little more. At the least, the stories are good morality tales, on the 2-yr old level. A few of them are a bit harsh for a toddler (the lions were going to eat Daniel; Paul wanted to hurt God's people) but I tone those down when I read them. Also, it's a very sturdy & well constructed book, better than the typical board book - our copy is very old and is in good shape - and the illustrations are adorable. If you're looking for a first Bible, this is a great one!

My daughter loves it!!
My 19 mo. old daughter loves this book. She picks it up and brings it to me to read to her. The illustrations are colorful and captivating. Believe it or not, my daughter learned to count to 4 using this (we count the characters).

I highly recommend this book.

Adequate, but the best I could find.
Many of the stories are too complex for babies and toddlers. For our 20 month-old we use only 4 of the 20 (or so) because of difficult content. Most of the actions mean you can't have the child sitting on your lap while reading the story. The actions, though, do help keep the child's attention. The pictures are simple enough for toddlers and babies, for adult tastes they definitely are too cutsey. The pages are very durable and withstand being handled by little hands. All in all, I'm still looking for a *good* Bible storybook.

It's never too early to start teaching your baby about Jesus
I love this book and so does my 5 mo. old baby! The pictures are very bright and colorful. The content is perfectly designed for babies and on up to toddlers. I give this book as a baby gift to all our friends and family. It makes a wonderful gift. I have given over 25 away in the last two years. Everyone loves them . On the front page there is an area for you to write who the bible is to and who it is from along with the date. I think that this makes the baby bible very special. ... Read more

Cute easter book but short
this is a sweet little board book for little ones. I swear it was written in 5 minutes, i wish i would have done it first!

Great for teacher to use with a follow-up activity
Anyone who grew up finding marshmallow chicks in their Easter basket can relate to this story. When i was a kid they were yellow. Now these chicks come in all colors. I am a kindergarten teacher. My students loved this book. Now, one child takes it home with an Owen plush and a plastic egg with a marshmallow chick inside. They don't know what color their chick is until they get home. I provide a journal for them to document the color, write a story about their visit with Owen and draw a picture. They LOVE it!

A sugary sweet tale
This story is a perfect read for Easter or any time of the year! While my child loves to bite the head off of his marshmallow chicks, he could understand Owen's attachment to the treat. Owen projects his emotional attachment of his favorite blanket onto the marshmallow chick (that is the same color as his blanket)and doesn't gobble it up like his other holiday treats. This ending is absolutely priceless and we read this story at least once a week. Since there is no focus on spirituality or religion in this board book, it would be appropriate in a home of any faith (especially with those who are fans of marshmallow chicks!). Highly recommended!

"My Favorite....."
No author captures the essence of a preschooler like Kevin Henkes. "On Easter monring, Owen's basket was full." Little blanket toting Owen jumped for joy as he first surveyed and then gobbled down all his "favorites." There were jelly beans and gumdrops, buttercream eggs and a big chocolate bunny. And then there was a little yellow marshmallow chick. "It was the same color as his fuzzy yellow blanket." And Owen loved it. He didn't eat the chick, but played with it all day. At bedtime, Owen decided to put "his favorite" on the shelf with his best toys. Sweet dreams..... Henkes' simple and gentle text is kept to a minimum. The real story is told through his bright and engaging artwork, and youngsters will enjoy the charming facial expressions and special details in each illustration. Perfect for little ones 4 and younger, Owen's Marshmallow Chick is a sweet and tender board book you don't want to miss.

An Easter Board Book
We got this as a gift for our 4 month old. He loves the colorful illustrations. The story is basic and children will easily relate to the easter basket of goodies. I can see this book being valuable when he learns to read. Also I'll never look at a marshmallow chick (aka Peep) the same way again! ... Read more

Seven, six, five
It's sort of a "Goodnight Moon" tale, but interesting. The book combines your average counting book (or, in this case, counting backwards book) with a bedtime sleepy story. Utilizing bright colors, interesting characters, and an eye for textures, author/illustrator Molly Bang has created a sweet simple story that does not annoy or condescend to the reader.

An African-American girl and her father count down to bedtime. There are ten toes on her feet. Nine fuzzy friends (including a clever and playful kitty). Eight windowpanes displaying the snow outside. It goes on. Each view of the bedroom is a comforting one. The observant reader might wonder why there are only seven shoes straightened under the crib, only to find that when we observe the five buttons on the girl's gown, the cat is proceeding to happily gnaw on the missing shoe. The delicate interactions between the girl and her father are undoubtedly the most tender parts of the story. Oftentimes we switch in the story from viewing things from the child's point of view (like her toes or her seashell mobile) to looking at the girl as she perches in her father's lap. After some goodnight kisses and a big hug to her furry bear pet, it's off to bed for the sweet sleepy little one. There is nothing in this book that will necessarily grab you by the guts and make you want to give this story to every man, woman, and child you know. It's just a delicately woven lullaby that expresses almost wordlessly the affection that exists between a father and his daughter. From the opening shot of the girl running to be in her dad's outstretched arms, to the final tucking in at the end of the night, the book touches a chord in the reader. It is sweet without overpowering you with its saccharine nature. Adorable without going overboard. It is a beautifully balanced work of picture book art.

Ten, Nine, Eight
The book ten, Nine, Eight was about a young girl who is getting ready for bed and counting things on her way. The book used pictures to show the numbers one-ten and to help young kids incorporate the counting with pictures. The reading level for this book is pre-school or kindergarten, someone just learning to read or count.

this book is helpful
this book is helpful for young children trying to read and count!

Goodnight My Love
...Ten, Nine, Eight is perfect in all aspects: the African American characters can help my children relate to the book because the characters look like them; the father who puts his daughter to bed speak volumes for those who want to see an Afican American MALE in a positive role; and the short, simple story encourage children to read even if it is only from memory.

In my family, my son is the third child to enjoy this book. This book is one to be treasured and passed down.

Enchanting children's book
I like reading this book. I like saying "Ten Nine Eight by Molly Bang" as we start. What a name the author has, and what a talent for making a simple book so engaging! The illustrations are comforting, with a continuity from page to page that is a nice touch. Also, since the father and daughter are African-American, this book brings a welcome diversity to the home library. ... Read more

One morning Froggy wakes up and discovers snow--glorious snow! Of course he immediately wants to frolic outside, but his sleepy mother reminds him that frogs are supposed to sleep all winter. "Wake up when the snow melts," she calls out from her cozy bed. But Froggy insists. So off he goes after putting on his socks--"zoop," his boots--"zup," his hat--"zat," and his scarf--"zwit." The playful sound effects are perfect for read-aloud merriment and the watercolor illustrations by Frank Remkiewicz (Horrible Harry) are comic-strip silly. As soon as Froggy gets outside his mother calls out to remind him to put on his pants. This, as any child knows, means laboriously pulling off all footwear. "Zwit, zat, zup, zut." Then he forgets his coat and it's more "zut, znap, zum." And then--horror of horrors!--his mother yells out in front of all his animal playmates, "Froggy, your underwear!" (Which of course elicits giggles.) Ultimately, the on- and off-again dressing is too exhausting for Froggy and he winds up right back where he belongs. Good night, Froggy.

Froggy Gets Dressed
I read this book to my pre school class and they just loved it, especially when Froggy forgets his underwear. We bought copies of this book to give to all of the children for christmas. My daughter Melissa is going to graduate in May with a teaching degree so I am buying this book to give to her so she can share this story with her class. Great Great Book for young children

My son loves this book
My three year old little boy Nicklas loves this book to death he thinks it the greatest book he has ever heard me read to him, he likes reading it over and over again. He loves the noises the clothes make when froggy puts them on. And he also loves when the mother frog yells for froggy and asks himm if he forgot to put something on, ands how embarassed froggy gets when he forgets to put on his underwear.

This Deserves 5 Stars!
You should read Froggy Gets Dressed because it is a very good book. In this book, Froggy would go outside and his mom would tell him to come back inside because he would forget to put all of his stuff on.

You must read this book!
Froggy Gets Dressed is a really funny book. It is a book about a frog named Froggy that gets dressed. In the book, Froggy keeps on forgetting stuff. Then his mother would yell, "Froggy!" and he yells "What?" back to her. She yells, "Have you forgot something?" then he goes back and puts on what he forgot. In the end, he goes back to sleep. We think that every grade in schools and our cousins should read this book.

Our FAVORITE book!!
We're hooked on Baby Einstein! My son is 7 mo. old and he loves this book! He likes the pictures, but ESPECIALLY the mirror!! He laughs and smiles and gets all excited and he loves to hear me say the phrases in all the different languages. And, to be honest, I LOVE this book.... maybe even more than he does! I've practiced the languages and I LOVE TO SAY THEM.... especially the Japaneese! It's fun to read and look at and the pronunciation guide makes it easy and fun.... with practice. This is a must have book for babies.... (and mommies and daddies too)!!!!!!

Learn with your baby!
This book has great phrases in English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Hebrew! I know almost all the phrases by heart because my four month year old loves it! There is actually even a mirror on the back page where they learn to introduce themselves in each language! This was one of the best shower presents I got!

A Great Learning Tool
I got this book as gift and was pleasantly surprised to see it was larger than most of the Baby Einstein books. The colors and pictures are bright and vibrant, easy for a young child to see and keep their attention on. It's also very sturdy, for the chewers.

On one page they show you a picture, say, of a duck or train or whatever. Then on the other page it has a relevant phrase like "How is the duck?" and the phrase is repeated below in large colorful words in three other languages besides English: Spanish, Japanese and Hebrew. The words are also spelled out phoenetically, for those of us who are not too language saavy.

I wanted to teach my baby Spanish alongside with English, so this book was a perfect tool in helping out with that!

This is good
This is a cute book. Basically it has pictures of items in it then on the side the phrase in several lanuages. For instance Where is the train. It also has prounceations below the items so that us grown ups can figure out who to say the phrases. This is a hard read for grown ups because some of the forgien language phrases are real tounge twisters. Unless you are somewhat fimilar with the foreing launauges you may do your child a diservice by reading them this book as you will probably butcher the anonciation of the words. I would still get it as most people can at least do the english and spanish versions ... Read more

squeals of delight
The perfect gift! We received this book when our boy was 5 months old. Instantly it was his favorite book... and continues to be four months later. We have two cats so it was quite appropriate subject matter, but the tactile pages are bold, colorful and easy to manipulate. A winner in our house:-) ... Read more

Book Description

Arthur has the hiccups, and none of the traditional cures suggested by his parents help. Ignoring his pesky sister D.W., who claims she knows how to get rid of them, he calls on his friends for help. The Brain suggests standing on his head; Buster says laughter is the best cure and reads him jokes; Muffy’s old family cure is licking a lollipop while hanging upside down. But nothing does the trick. Dejected and still hiccuping, Arthur goes to bed. And that is when D.W. proves she really does know how to get rid of hiccups.

Great Clifford book
My daughter received this book as a gift when she was around 18 months of age. We started reading it as the last story before bedtime and it became part of the routine. Like most children our daughter thrives on routine and we continue to read this book at bedtime today (she is 3 1/2). Now she pretends to read it to us as she long ago memorized the words. We have all the Clifford The Small Red Puppy Board Books, but this one stands out.

The perfect bedtime story
Clifford's Bedtime is our favorite "Small Red Puppy" board book. Every child (and parent) can identify with Clifford's bedtime needs: his blanket and favorite toys, a drink of water, and a good-night kiss. Norman Bridwell's simple illustrations are a perfect accompaniment to this story, which you will soon be able to recite by heart! ... Read more
