Customer Reviews

no fail reading for kids

I have 3 boys and every one loved this book. It is the best book I have ever found for starting that all-important love of reading. Only 1 child had a "bink-it" but each one was captivated by this book at very early ages, usually 6mos and up. I have been looking for something similiar in attraction ever since(okay, I'm going a little crazy after reading this 1,000 times or so!)

Lots of fun but still calming enough for bedtime

This book is a great combination of an "activity" book and a bedtime book. The lift-the-flap pages and the "touch-and-feel" pages are cute and fun. The flaps are creative - not the run of the mill predictable stuff under the flap. The rhythm of the story is calming and takes well to a quiet soothing voice, which makes this a "real" bedtime book. We have a number of other lift-the-flap or "touch-and-feel" books that we don't read before bed because they get my 14 month old daughter too excited, but this one has just the right balance of fun and calm. My daughter also loves the "teeth" in the toothbrushing page, which I consider a plus as we are teaching her to brush her teeth. This is one of my daughter's very favorite books, and she often goes to find it to "read" it to herself. Highly recommended. We will need to buy another copy soon, after only a few months, because our copy is read so often it is starting to wear out (not a comment about the quality of the book - just shows how often it is read).

Another Boynton favorite!

I have been reading this to my daughter regularly (and not just at bedtime) since she was probably 4 months old. She is now 13 months and still enjoys lifting the flaps and the blanket to find the binkit. We give the dinosaur a squealy high pitched voice and she loves it! All of Sandra Boynton's books are winners, and this one is extra special because it is touch and feel as well as lift the flaps!

Engaging and soothing

I started reading this book to my son when he was 7 months old and it was an instant hit. I catch him "reading" it on his own almost every day, going through the pages one by one and lifting the flaps to see what's underneath.I think the magic of Dinosaur's Binkit is that it's both exciting and soothing at the same time. The flaps with hidden pictures keep even young babies interested and yet the language is very rhythmic and soothing and, thus, great for a bedtime story. As an added plus, the flaps help babies develop eye-hand coordination and small motor skills as they figure out how to lift the flaps themselves.The only problem I've had with this book is getting my son to put it down. All in all, it's a triumph for introducing babies to the wonderful surprises books can hold.

very fun book for age newborns and up

We started reading this book to my son when he was only a few weeks old. Now that he is seven months old he can express his delight with it. It's a good first book - it's only a few pages and has fun interaction (lift up flaps, soft touch spot). This book has been such a hit with my son that I recently ordered more Sandra Boynton books.
