I bought this book for the kids, but my tax clients had varying and delightful reactions when they saw the book on the table. It brought back some good childhood memories for most, and some clients even sang the whole book! What a hoot! The illustrations are perfect too. Well worth the price.
Super book for kids!

I always loved this silly song and thought that it would be fun to have a book telling the story. This book has very cute pop-up pictures and is fun to read/sing to your child. We don't use the music that plays on the cover as the story and pictures are better without the song playing.
Great for a toddler but the battery dies quickly

My 18-month old has loved this book for the last 6 months. She laughs when we sing the song and enjoys lifting up the flaps. My only complaint is that the battery for the song seems to die after a few months with no way to change it...so we're on our 2nd book and probably a 3rd soon. But for the amount of times we read it, it's worth the money.
The Children LOVE it

I am a special ed. preschool teacher and my students LOVE this book. They enjoy singing along to it and using their fine motor skills to pull the tabs and see the parts move in the story. Great book for children 2-5.
Simply ADORABLE!

If your kids love the silly song, you will surely not disappoint them with this cute book. Each page is whimsically illustrated with lots of details, my kids love re-examining each page and verse just to catch more detail. The flaps lift to reveal a part of the song, for example, the tree pours spaghetti sauce with a little tug of the lever. The size of the book makes it a perfect lap book for story time, or a nice bedtime treat. My toddler has heard me sing this song since she was born and now she can put images to the silly words and she absolutely LOVES IT!
