Best puppet book I've ever come across

Can't wait to receive this book I gave it away to a special needs class and my other class asks where it is and I brought 30 other fu. Books but this is their favorite

Love it!

My 5 month old son adores this book! I was afraid it would be a bit too long for him to tolerate, but as long as I keep moving the hand puppet he is just enthralled! I can't recommend it enough!

This baby loves to boogie....

I actually laughed when my mother purchased this book for her nine-month granddaughter, thinking there was no way she could get enjoyment from a combination book/puppet. Boy was I wrong. Not a day has gone by that I haven't had my now 13 month old walk over, pick the book up and bring it to daddy to read over and over again - enough that I have already memorized every line. I'm not sure if your little one will get the same reaction, but I can't help recommend it simply for the thought of curling up with your child in your lap and having them flip the pages as you read. It is always one of the highlights of my day.

Outstanding Must Have

We love this book. It has become an instant favorite. I bought it for my 9 month old while on vacation and she loved it from the beginning. We shared it with relatives while on our trip and everyone fell in love with this adorable & fun book. My nieces enjoyed reading it to my baby as they would take on the personality of each of the characters in the book. They had so much fun reading this book and creating interesting voices for each barnyard friend. I also shared the book with two libraians at a playgroup at the local library and they immediately took the information down and were going to order a copy for their story times. This book is a real hit. I am now adding it to the top of my list as books to buy for friends with babies. Thanks to the authors & artists. Definatley a MUST HAVE!!

Boogie Baby, Boogie!

When I saw this book I was intrigued... when I opened it, I was sold - what a hoot! As the other mother wrote, it's a shame they don't have a picture of the book, because seeing is believing. The "puppet" part of the book is a brown velour covered upper and lower lip - with a little red to accent the mouth and lips. Each page is delightful - kids from my 4 month old to the neighbor children (2, 4, 8) all get a real kick out of seing the puppet lips move as you read the pages. The illustrations are colorful and comical. And everyone in the barnyard gets involved, from the donkey to a duck, cat, dog, pig, cow, mouse and even the farmer - everyone has a verse to sing in the barnyard boogie.Thanks to the authors and publishers for a wonderful book - it's going to become a staple gift for my friends' children!

My preschoolers and my daycare LOVED this book!

I recently purchased this book for my 2 and 3-1/2 year olds. It immediately captivated them!! This book has a built in PUPPET!! The description on the site here says nothing of it...but it is a MUST KNOW!! The puppet is actually a soft upper and lower lip of a donkey. Your hand goes through the back of the book and you move the lips as you read the book aloud. The barnyard characters change as you turn the pages but the same mouth is there for you to move for each. I took this book to my two youngest children's daycare/preschool and was inundated with compliments and questions about where to get this book by the staff at the daycare...both teachers and director!I am a mother of five with my oldest about to turn 16! I know a good thing when I find it and this book is a must have for any parent of a young one!! My older children found the book very amusing as well and they even took time to read and play with it as well which created a real reading circle in our home which is amazing in itself!! (I wear a referree's shirt most of the time! hehe)Honestly, you will not be disappointed. I am back here today for the purpose of ordering a copy for the wonderful people and children at my children's daycare/preschool!
