My favorite children's book

Lullabyhullaballoo is by far my favorite children's book to read to my two, small boys. Every night they pick a book to be read, as do I, and we always reach for this one. It's full of fun book interaction, eye catching pictures and a story line exciting enough to keep their attention and not over excite them before bedtime. I've even taken this book to my oldest's son's kindergarten class for reading time, where it got rave reviews from 29 other five year olds!

now, one of my favorite children's books

I can't believe that no one has reviewed this book yet. It's one of the best kid's books I've seen lately, and my three year old daughter really likes it a lot. There's just enough repetition to make it accessable to young readers, yet keep it fresh each time it's read. The illustrations are cute and detailed, and the fold out pages work very well. This is a book that can be read every night without growing stale.

An absolute favorite for any age! Great illustrations!

One copy of this book just isn't enough! We would love to share this as gifts to all our friends and family with children! The illustrations are wonderful and the flip-page format works very well with the story. Our son was always anxious to flip the page to find out what noise might be disturbing the tired princess (it's been one of his favorites since he was one). Lullabyhullaballoo is a clever story which uses "fun" words for children - - "ghosts and the goblins are guzzling and gobbling and slurping and burping... what shall we do?". Our 3 year old son now reads it to our 9 month old son and we're sure it will be repeated for years and years. We highly recommend this book to anyone who loves children's books! We're anxious to read more from Inkpen - - especially since Nick Jr. has added Inkpen's "Kipper" to its preschool weekday line-up.

Terrific book for children of a variety of ages.

We feel fortunate to have found this book at a garage sale. From the first reading, our daughter (age 18 months at the time) has loved it. Inkpen creates beautiful illustrations which enhance the delightful story. Our satisfaction with the emotions conveyed through both the story and drawings led to our search for more from this talented children's author. We can't wait to get our hands on "Nobody." Highly recommended.

great book for child participation-fun reading experience!

I read this to my one year old and he loved it! It had great scenes that my son could participate in (giant stomping, etc), and I think it contributed to a great start in our reading experience. We read it over and over and over again until he'd practically memorized it. (I'm here looking for other books by the same author :) It's written for the older child (book says ages 5-8). It's a fun book, though, and I think if your child has a good attention span for books, it could be read at any age.
