We love Spot The Dog
Spot the Dog books are a favourite with my girls.They love the simple stories that they can relate to (hiding, baking a cake, playing with others etc) and the lift-the-flaps always bring screams of delight even though we've read them many many times.As they grow I'm sure they'll be one of the books they learn to read with.The words are simple and the font easy to read.Lovely books to cuddle up with your children on your lap.They are also big enough to hold up and read to them as they sit in back seat on car trips.

A wonderful Spot creation
This is one of the best Spot books. My baby loves lifting the flaps and looking at the cute animals. It is on par with Where Is Spot the classic. Makes me want to pack up the wagon and head out to the beach!

The Favorite Spot Book
My nephew, Philip, is 15 months old and this is his most favorite Spot book and most favorite book in general.Each time it is read to him, he squeals with delight at all of the pictures - especially the ones behindthe flaps that he insists on carefully peeling back by himself. Hisparents, nanny, brother, grandparents and I have read this book to him somany times that the flaps have fallen out from his extensive flipping(nothing that tape or Elmer's Glue can't fix).This book is so well lovedthat Philip often wants to sleep with it in his crib!Perhaps a new copyis an order! Hear that, Santa?

Didn't meet our expectations.
Typically my family likes Spot but the "story" isn't here.There is no continuity.Boring.My 3 year old left the room and didn't even bother lifting all of the flaps. : ( ... Read more

Great Puppet Book
I bought this book nearly two years ago for my now 4-year-old son. It has been a great hit for bedtime reading ever since. For the first few months, in fact, the greatest problem was getting him OUT of the book. The colors and the pictures are great, as is the engineering. My son and I are great fans of pop-up books in general. What distinguishes the Snappy Little series is the way in which many of the characters can be manipulated like puppets. As much as he enjoys having the books read to him, my son loves "interviewing" the characters, discussing the other objects in the pictures and the characters on the other pages. I bought him Snappy Little Halloween as a birthday/pre-Halloween gift this year, and it was his favorite out of a haul of great gifts. Don't pass these up!

fun for all ages
I bought this book for my 4 mo. old daughter and she loves it. She likes being able to grab at the pop ups and look at the vibrant colors. I actually found myself grabbing for this book to read to her. So, it didn't take me long to decide to get her the whole collection. Of course when you see something like this book that holds your childs interest you have to just go with it. ... Read more

its okay
My son is 16 months old. The flaps in this book are a little big, and there aren't enough of them for his taste. I think this book might be more appealing to younger childern. Also, I wished there were more photos of real babies under the flaps, and not of puppets.

Simple lift-the-flap book
You can't tell from the description, but this is a lift-the-flap book. It took my 18 month old less than 48 hours to rip out most of the flaps. The photos are clear and the pictures of Elmo are cute, of course. But there aren't a lot of other things in the pictures to use to help build vocabulary. As much as my daughter loves everything Elmo, I can't recommend this very highly.

Sarah Loves This Book
I bought all four of these books for my 18-month old daughter and they were well worth it for her. She sits on the floor and just turn the pages, flips the flaps and says ooooh, baby, ball and other little words. If your child enjoys the Elmo's World series on Sesame Street, they will love these books. ... Read more

Maisy the marvelous mouse is ready to take the plunge--but she needs the assistance of young readers to get properly prepped for the pool. Dressed for the arctic tundra, this rodent has a lot of disrobing to do. By lifting flaps and pulling tabs, kids can help Maisy peel down to her skivvies. After removing her blue hat and scarf, brown boots, red coat, gray sweater, green trousers, purple T-shirt, yellow socks, and orange undies, Maisy is finally ready to don her rainbow-striped swimsuit and leap into the water (hopefully mice can swim). Youngsters will delight in Lucy Cousins's charming illustrations, as well as the tugging, lifting, and sliding involved in this interactive book. The many colors and clothes provide an excellent learning opportunity, but kids will appreciate Maisy Goes Swimming purely as a splash of fun. (Baby to preschool)--Brangien Davis ... Read more

Bobbing along
Good old Maisy. Her adventures tend to be as large or small as the daily activites that children themselves partake in. Appearing in cleverly constructed (and mighty strong) books, Maisy is cheery without ever becoming pendatic. She's light-hearted but never tiring. Maisy is, in fact, the perfect companion for any child beginning to read. She is also a great help to those parents that want their kids to see reading as a fun activity.

In this particular Maisy venture, the little white mouse wants to go swimming. The weather outside must be frightful because our heroine is covered from tip to tail in warm woolly winter clothing. It is up to the child reader to remove each article as instructed. So off goes the hat! Open goes the coat. Away goes the sweater, the trousers (love those Lucy Cousins British words), t-shirt, socks, and bright orange underwear. Then the child places the swimsuit onto Maisy and off goes the cheery mousey for a dip in the pool.

The book's a treat, no question. Parents reading it to their children had better put the book back together correctly before another reading, however. No child would want to read through a book where Maisy's hat was already off or her swimsuit was already on. That would spoil half the fun. The trick of removing or outfitting Maisy in these articles of clothing come in the book's clever construction. Using thick paper that can stand up to little hands, it's a treat to watch Cousins's thick lined drawings moving up or down. The only part of the book that's a bit flimsy is, sadly the last picture. In theory, if you pull on a specific tab, Lucy goes bobbing along in the water. In practice, she's more likely to get stuck, or the tab may just get pulled out altogether. On the whole however, this a cute creation. Any child who's a fan of Cousins, mice, or just the trick or interacting with a book's character physically will have a ball with Maisy's small scale adventure. A bucket o' fun.

Lots of fun to read
This book has a very simple concept - taking off all of Maisy's many layers of clothing and then putting on her bathing suit so that she can go swimming. My 2 year old son loves it to pieces - literally. Unfortunately it's not very robust, but even now with half the pages in tatters it's still one of his favorites.

What a great book!
A fantastic Maisy book - my daughter (2) loves it. Not only do we get to read about another wonderful Maisy adventure - Maisy getting ready to go swimming but we help Maisy get undressed and into her swimming costume. It had really helped my daughter give her clothes a name and also which bit of the body they go on. This book enables you to help Maisy get dressed and undress by use of flaps and pull tabs - my daughter loves doing that as well. It has helped her understand the concept of on and off, up and down, and colours.

Great book!!!
This book is one of my daughter's favorites. She loves manipulating Maisy's clothes over and over again for hours. Great overall book, but I subtracted one star for durability. It could have been made a bit more durable...

A great learning tool
As a preschool teacher, I find this book, a great tool to teach and reinforce vocabulary for clothing, as well as colors. The pull tabs also develops fine motor skills for youngsters. Maisy books are the right speed for 2 to 3 year olds. Children also learn about dressing and undressing. This book also rates two thumbs up by my two and a half year old niece. ... Read more

It's time for the much-loved mouse Maisy to get ready for bed, but shehas a lot to do before she can finally slip under the covers. With this engaging interactive book, young readers can help Maisy every step of the way on her journey toward dreamland with myriad lift-the-flaps and pull-the-tabs. First she throws back a bedtime beverage, then she goes to the potty (complete with flushing action!), then she washes her hands, brushes her teeth, puts on her pajamas, reads her bedtime story, and at last says goodnight, toy panda in paw. Kids will love pulling, opening, and sliding their way through the book, and in the process may learn a thing or two about color and object identification and basic hygiene. Lucy Cousins's adorable illustrations may even convince reluctant sleepers that bedtime can be fun! (Baby to preschool) --Brangien Davis ... Read more

Hey, She Even Remembers to Brush Her Teeth
If you are the parent of a young child, you probably know who Maisy is. She's a mouse with a duck, a squirrel, an elephant, and a crocodile for friends. Why the crocodile isn't trying to eat the others is beyond me, but that's life in Maisy's world.

Both of my daughters love the Maisy books; there's something about their simple stories and colorful pictures that even appeals to adults. The books are short and easy to read. But, the stories are never obnoxiously simplistic, like so many other books for small children.

This is a lift the flap book in which the childen are lifting flaps as Maisy prepares for bed. Believe it or not, this book helped convince one of my daughters to brush her teeth, which is frquently a battle in our house. This is one of the most fun Maisy books to read to your children. One caution, the kids might get a little aggressive with the flaps and tear a few, resulting in the purchase of a new lift the flap book (in our current copy, Maisy's tooth brush has bit the dust).

Maisy Goes to Bed
This is a very cute, sweet book to read at bedtime. All about a little girl mouse & her bedtime preparations.

Maisy goes to bed by Lucy Cousins
Maisy is a hot property at our house. My 2 year old has fallen in love! Maisy Goes To Bed is just precious. It has lots of tabs to pull out and push in to illustrate the story. The book is made well and has stood up to alot of interactive reading. If your child loves Maisy this will be a true hit!

Maisy Goes to Bed
My 15 month old son adores this book. This is the first book I've been able to get him to sit still for - he loves interacting with the tabs and watching the result. If you're looking for a fun, informative book that really grabs young readers - this is it! We have a great time with Maisy as she prepares for bed every night!

A fun and entertaining book for children...and adults!
Help Maisy the mouse get ready for bed in one of the best children's books ever! Young children help Maisy have a bedtime snack, brush teeth, go to the potty, put on her jammies etc. Along the way there are flaps to open and tabs to pull. Peek in Maisy's closet to see her ballerina outfit! Open the fridge! Cover Maisy with her blanket! I fell in love with this book over five years ago. Lucy Cousins' brightly colored illustrations are eye-catching and have great toddler appeal. Tested thoroughly on my 3-1/2 year old from one year on up. VERY effective as a bedtime transition book. ... Read more

A farm is a very busy place. Good thing Maisy is around to keep things shipshape!This industrious little mouse collects eggs from the hens, feeds the baby lambs, picks apples, anddrives the tractor. (We already knew she could operate heavy machinery from Maisy Drives the Bus.) Equallyindustrious readers can help Maisy by pulling the tabs and lifting the flaps in this interactiveaddition to the well-loved Maisy series by Lucy Cousins. Fans will recognize the vibrant colors,big print, and boldly outlined pictures that characterize these appealing books for very youngreaders (and readers-to-be). Don't miss Maisy and her friends on Nickelodeon as well asin her many other endearing books, including Maisy Goes Swimming and Happy Birthday, Maisy. (Baby toPreschool) --Emilie Coulter ...

Can't get enough of this one!
My eighteen month old son loves this book! He goes to bed with it at night and wants to read it more than any other book. He can maneuver the flaps and pull- tabs without ripping them to shreds (like some others he's managed to destroy.) We highly recommend this one!

Bought a second when the first was worn out!
This book has been fantastic, and has introduced our daughter to all the farm animals in such a way that they've really become her friends - there are eggs under the laying hen, and then a chick appears too, there is a bird sweeping out from the corn as the tractor chugs by; the geese need water from the yellow watering can, and a very young child can add to the story by activating the animals at different points - magic. We started our daughter on this at 3 months, as a reading book, and now, 13 months later, the second copy is a wreck - she can do each step again, and again, and again.......a worthwhile buy anyday, and a marvellous present (needless to say, for adults too!)

My son loves this book!
My 14-month-old has just learned how to express a preference for some books over others, and this book is the big winner. He loves it more and more as he figures out how to pull all the tabs.

Definitely a Must-Have for Maisy Fans
This is my two-year old's favorite Maisy book. Again, the colors are bold and the drawings simple, as of typical Lucy Cousin. This is a great book for toddlers to learn the names of various farm animals and their youngs. Like all flap and pull-tab books, it is not too sturdy. So this book is best saved for parent and child reading together.

Wonderful book for toddlers!
This is one of my two year old's favorite books! He returns to it again and again (along with most other Lucy Cousins books!). He absolutely loves the brightly colored pictures combined with the pull-tabs. If you have a toddler, this is a sure winner! ... Read more

Explains the concept of a new baby to young children!
Can you imagine how confusing it must be for a young child who has just gained a sibling? There must be so many feelings that often go unexplained. They may think, "Is this new baby here to replace me?" or "Why isn't mommy playing with me anymore?"

The book, "And After That..." by Jeanne AshBe, explains the concept of a new baby in the family in simple terms. First, it describes simple "before" and "after" things such as day and night. Then, it describes "before" and "after" things that have a good or bad surprise afterward. Lastly, it describes how some things will be different after the new baby joins the family. This book helps children to understand that things will be different after the new baby, but let's them know that they are still part of the family and very special.

... -- it explains the concept of a new baby joining the family in very simple terms by using ideas that very young children can understand. There are "child-like" drawn illustrations and lift-the-flaps that are always enjoyable by children of all ages. Young children who have a new brother or sister are sure to enjoy this book!

A Great Gift
This book was given to my 13 month old son as a gift and it is now his favorite book. It is very sturdy and he loves the slide feature. We liked it so much, we bought it for his day care gift exchange.

My daughter's favorite book
I bought this book for my 13 month old daughter and it instantly became her favorite book. It is great for younger kids because the slide out pages move easily, yet are extremely sturdy and can withstand the "not so gentle" touch of a toddler. I liked this book so much I bought the second in the series, which focuses on colors. I highly recommend this book! ... Read more

The Mouse Who Ate Bananas
I am a children's librarian and I used this book for a preschool storytime--the children loved it. It is a pop-up book with large 2-page spread pop-ups that are totally delightful. The mouse eats bananas and throws the peel over his shoulder. Along come elephant, rhino, lion, and giraff who all slip on the peel. The animals are all drawn in wonderful poses when they slip--they are all drawn in great detail with very animated features. The children loved the drawings, the pop-ups, and the story. This will enchant all preschoolers. A sure hit for storytime and for any child that loves a delightful story. ... Read more

Weenie!!!!!!
I absalutely LOVED this book. My friends and I are very amused by this book!! A youn child can love this book because it has Oswald in it but, a teenager WILL ABSALUTELY LOVE IT because OSWALD COULDNT FIND HIS WEENIE!!!!!! HAHAHAHAH This is the centerpiece for the table in my room. Any humanly person will love this book.

OSWALD COULDNT FIND HIS WEENIE

I HIGHLY RECOMNED THIS BOOK

A Masterpiece
The cleaver wordplay is reminicant of Shakespeare. The Plot is as thrilling as a baseball game. The ending came as a total suprise, and despite the sexual inuendo, the suspence was captivating, and the plot sure to win over the heart of even the crulest person! The ending was a suprise, I thought they'd lost weenie for good! I will charish the book forever!

Where's Weenie?
This book is a tale of a whale looking for "Weenie". The reader looks under covers for Weenie, does not find Weenie there, and proceeds to look in all sorts of places of concealment for Weenie. Adults reading this are moved to increasing hilarity.

I work in a bookstore, and the women who staff the Kids section were greatly amused by the double meanings in this book. I sincerely hope said double entendres were unintentional.

Sensational
This book is a riveting tale of suspense and adventure. The ending made me cry. Beautiful!

Fantastic Tractor Book!
My son received this book for Christmas and I just cannot thank that person enough for it. He just loves this book! The horn the steering wheel has is just so neat and I hear that thing going at the strangest times too (like at 3:00 a.m. when he rolls over on it in bed...). It has gone many, many places and my son just cannot get enough of it. It has all the brands too - Deere, Farmall, harvester, etc. and explains how the tractors work the fields and take the products to market. Great, great book - don't hesitate on this one!

Great book
My son got this book at 5 month. He is a year old now and still loves to turn the wheel, flip the pages and play peekaboo with it.

Perfect for my 4 year old son! What a great idea!

A book that everyone can 'READ'
I give this book as a gift to every 1 year old I know. It gets great reviews from both the parent and the child!
When my niece was 2 1/2 she love to "read" the book to me! My newphew took it to preschool on his 'show and tell' day... he wanted to show everyone he knew how to read.
It is a simple book... colors, counting, and animals (the illustrations are great).

Great for squirmy one-year-olds
Our baby is so active and squirmy now that it's hard to coax him to sit still for books. This book is so entertaining that he cuddles in and pays attention. Every time we say "One yellow..." and then flip open the flap to say "LION!" he roars with laughter. A clever and well-illustrated book.

Son's Favorite
This is the only book our son will sit through (time after time). He loves to open the flaps and the illustrations are bright and funny. I had to order another because our first one is almost worn out. Highly recommended.

A simple yet clever book of numbers, colors and animals.
This is one of our toddler's very favorites. Van Fleet's illustrations are amusing, as well as intriguing in the way that he incorporates a part of an animal in the number that is shown with it. The concept is straightforward enough, presenting numbers, colors and animals without excess words or imagery. Yet the presentation is made clever and engaging by the double-folded pages and the surprise of the final two illustrations. This is a book we have given as a gift repeatedly! ... Read more

Everyone Hide!!
My daughter simply loves this book. She loves Wibbly and all the other characters, especially Big Pig, who for some reason she always smacks. I never get tired of reading it to her and she never gets tired of having it read to her, she loves it.

Loves lift the flaps!
My daughter loves this book because of the lift the flaps! She absolutely loves all lift the flap books.

Great fun for mother and child, just simply fantastic!
My kids, twins aged 18 months, scream "Wibbly Pig" everytime I try to sneak the book into the room. Their little faces light up. Indeed, "Wibbly Pig" was the among the first words spoken by both of them. Simply a marvelous treat for me and them, every time.

Our daughter cries when we put it away!!!
We love this book and so does our daughter. She loves the flaps to find all of the pigs. She has loved it from the first time she saw it (6 months old). The illustrations are great and it is a good length to keep her interested,(though we usually have to read it three times before we can put it away).

My three-year-old loves Wibbly!
It was the best b'day present she received this year. The pictures are CUTE - easy on the preschool eye. Finding Wibbly's buddies is fun, teaching playfulness, memory, and question ansering skills. He's on our must-read before bed. He even sleeps under her pillow. When are the stuffed Wibbly's coming?! ... Read more
