Customer Reviews

I got this book for my students. I must say I read this book everyday.

Loves It!!

I got this book right before my son was born and thought that it was odd with the few words, but my son loves it!! Since he was able to choose the books he wants to read, he would always choose this one...even at 2 years old!! He is also able to read the book to me now!! He gets a kick out of that! I would recommend this book to everyone!

a "sticky" book

There are some kids books that really "stick" for kids. They get emotionally involved in the art and they love the story. Oops! is that book for my daughter. In her two years of life, we've probably read this book hundreds of times. Now she "reads" the ten words herself. (Ten words is just right for her to "read", and it was just, just right to read to her when she was a newborn.) Love this book!

I don't know what it is about David books...

There is something special about David books. Maybe it is the simplicity of the words but my 1 year old son is absolutely in love with them. He has four of them and always reaches for the David books over any other book that he has. He has tons of them too that have been passed down from siblings. They basically have just a couple of words on each page and you read them in about 20 seconds but the pictures add life to the short story. My son will sit and flip through these books on his own throughout the day. He gets a kick out of these.

Huy David en panales

This is a great little board book! My 14 month old likes to point out things in the colorful illustrations and 'read' it to me. There's only a few pages, so it's just right for his attention span, and he's learning to turn them himself. Maybe he'll even learn some spanish :)

Surprisingly compelling

With just a word per page, I didn't think my two and three year olds would appreciate the books, but I bought two David board books anyway after a friend recommended them. I'm surprised how much the kids LOVE the books. I read them over and over, and the kids love each calamity on each page. When the macaroni spills on the dog, they insist it's just like our dog. They name all the kinds of food David has on his face when he eats. It's an engaging book despite it's simplicity and prompts good conversations.
