Educational and entertaining for children
"Bugs and Critters I Have Known" is a poetic look at various "bugs and critters" common to North America. From Chiggers to Mealy Bugs to Tomato Worms and Water Striders, each gets its own special piece of poetry about its lifestyle and quirks.

An children's book that is easy to read and educational while still being humorous and whimsical, it is sure to delight most young readers.

ENCHANTING book not to be missed !
This title deserves a home in every public and school library. As a librarian, I feel "Bugs" admirably fills the current void for children's poetry and is the perfect vehicle for a library program or a school project. ... Read more

fun fun fun
Here is yet another board book by the makers on Rolie Polie Olie, the new retro cartoon on Disney. I highly recommend this book because of its' bright colors and cute story. It teaches kids about being pal and doing things together, whether you're siblings or not, that pals are the best no matter what. My two year old loves this book and I had to buy him a second copy because the first one got destroyed from reading it so much. It's part of our night time routine! It's a great purchase!

very cute
My two year old loves this book and has since he was a year old. It's a fun bright colored book about brothers and sisters. It has a great message about love and friendship. A must have for any Olie fan!

Rolie Polie is Okey Dokey!
My son loves Rolie Polie Olie (he is 15 months). It is a very wholesome show and the book is great. He loves spot the dog and the colors are very vibrant. We love this book and anything that has to do with Rolie.

Be My Pal! (Rolie Polie Olie)
My 23 month old daughter loves Rolie Polie Olie. It is by far her favorite TV character. This is her second Rolie Polie Olie book and she loves it! The book "Rolie Polie Olie" that we purchased for her last fall was her and is still her favorite book. Now she has a second favorite book in "Be My Pal!" We have another baby on the way and this book talks about how Olie and his little sister Zowie figure out how to be siblings and best pals. I highly recomend this book. I just wish that Disney would release more Rolie Polie Olie Merchandise. The selection is limited at this point. ... Read more

Wonderful set
This is a wonderful set of four board books. It comes packaged in a cute box as well. My son likes these books I would recomend getting them

Great for the busy little person
My one year old son recieved this boxed set of 4 books as a Easter gift from his grandmother. Its one of his favorites. He not only loves the books, but they come in this neat little box with a handle. He will go get them, bring them to his father or I, take one book out at a time for us to read, then after we have read them he puts them back in the box . The storys are cute and not too long.

Toy Story 2: Sheriff Woody and the Roundup Gang
I reviewed this little box packet of 4 books for my 1 1/2 yr grandson who is in love with Toy Story. It is a wonderful set of books because it is an easy carry "suitcase" for little hands and each book is on a different character. Perfect size for little hands, very colorful. After reviewing it at a local store I am now purchasing through Amazon and mailing this as a surprise. I chose this one over other options because of its versatility for a child as it is usually difficult for my grandchildren to choose just one book and young children love things packaged neatly. ...

An fun and informative book everyone will love!
I purchased this book from the book sale at my younger sister's elementary school. I found it to be very informative about the solar system, and entertaining at the same time. It uses popular disney characters to teach children. This book would be a great opening to a unit on the Solar System, reguardless of the age level. ... Read more

Even the littlest babies will like it
My one-year-old son loves this book. AND, he even loved it as a 5-month-old. Unfortunately, he's torn it to shreds and I have to get a new one!

A simple story which teaches shapes
This book teaches shapes by recounting the story of Mickey who has lost his ball and is trying to find it. Along the way he finds shapes which correspond to his friends' toys until he finds his ball. My 15 month old child loves the story. It is written in simple English which he understands, unlike the various fairytales which I tried to read to him. Each time I read him the book, I have to read it 3 times before he is satisfied. He has not learned any shapes yet, though. ... Read more

My Daughter Loves This Book
This book is simplistic, and doesn't contain the wittiest verse, but my daughter got this book when she was about a year old, and 9 months later she still wants me to read it to her. When we say the sense, she points to the corresponding body part on either herself or her doll. Anything that helps my daughter learn while also having fun is worth the money.

Images and writing are lacking!
Pooh uses his five senses to discover his favorite treat - honey. "SIGHT. Winnie the Pooh has two round eyes. Pooh SEES with his eyes. Yellow and black, fuzzy and fast - he SEES a honeybee." The Learn and Grow Board Book series is an adorable sequence of educational books for babies and small children; however, "Senses," is my least favorite of them all (8 in the series). I prefer the rhythmic cadence of Lisa Ann Marsoli's, 123 and ABC's, and Andrea Doering's, Colors, in addition, the images and writing in this book are lacking. Birth and up. ... Read more

The most enjoyable alphabet book ever!
This book is so much fun to read, I'm not sure who enjoys it more, me or my 20 month old daughter. It's a great bedtime book! Not only has my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the content, but she is already able to recognise letters and all the Pooh characters. I highly recommend this book for it's easy, fun reading. The little rhyme associated with each letter of the alphabet is absolutely adorable!!!

Needs fewer words on each page.
My daughter who will be two next month, would not sit through the entire book. Actually after 3 pages she loses interest. They are too many words on each page.

Winnie-the Pooh and the alphabet, too!
In the Lexington Park Library in southern Maryland , alphabet books and Winnie-the Pooh books are two perennial high demand items from customers three feet and under. I was delighted to find Don Ferguson's Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh's A to Zzzz , which admirably fills both needs in one handy volume. The book jacket states that Ferguson "has been putting words in the mouths of Disney characters since 1976." He does a superb job here supplying words for Winnie-the Pooh, Rabbit, Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger and friends. Each page features a large capital letter of the alphabet, and a four line rhyme that captures the gentle, humorous essence of A.A. Milne's original Winnie-the Pooh characters. The verses are brought to life on each page by the vividly colorful illustrations of Bill Langley and Diana Wakeman. These bright pictures depict Winnie-the Pooh and pals enjoying each other's company in homey activities in the Hundred-Acre Wood, through all seasons of the year. We join in all kinds of fun including a birthday party, a walk through the snowy woods, some kite flying, and, of course, a hunt for honey! So, treat yourself and your toddlers to some alphabet fun. "C is for Carrots, D is for door," with Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh's A to Zzzz, they're sure to want more! ... Read more

Olie
My toddler loves rolie polie olie and this book. The book is great to read to your child at any age. It's the perfect bed time book; as in the end of the book Olie goes to bed. The pages are colorful and very durable with a gloss to them. The only thing I found a little suprising is the size of the book. It's quite small about three inches wide by about five and half inches high. However the size is great for a toddler to handle himself. Overall this is a great book and a must have for the rolie polie olie fan. ... Read more

Drawing for the unartistic
I have maximum enthusiasm and minimal artistic abilities. I stripped a small wooden dresser and began repainting it for the nursery. Using this book, a pencil with a good eraser, and a lot of sunlight and patience, I created a remarkable young Tarzan and his ape mom! I was so impressed with myself, I sat back and stared at it for a long time. I've been drawing misfigured and misproportioned Disney characters for my neices and nephews for a long time. Finally, with the help of this book, I was able to make some characters that would be instantly recognizable by anyone, even if they're not entirely forgiving tiny tots!

Lots and lots
You get a lot with this book. The book includes all the main characters: Tarzan- adult, Tarzan- baby, Tarzan - 5 year old, Kala, Kerchek, Terk, Tantor,Professor Porter, Jane, and Clayton as well as fauna and flora : butterfly; lovebirds; vines; bamboo etc. The characters are a little harder to draw than other the classic Disney characters. Its not fault of the book, since the characters in Tarzan are much more detailed and complex. The book is full of tips to help ease the difficulty - how to draw the eyes correctly; placement of eyebrows; placement and shape of wrinkle around the nose; etc. The book includes lots color pictures of Tarzan and his friends so a big Disney Tarzan fan won't be disappointed. Although I haven't seen the smaller size version, I would highly recommend this oversize book. I would think the detailing required for these characters would be harder to draw and master from a smaller image. ... Read more
