Great even for little babies

This is the first (and so far only) book that my daughter loves. She is now almost 8 months old. I've been reading this book to her for about two months, and it is the only one she actually sits still for and listens to the whole thing. She examines each page so carefully, it almost looks like she is reading along. I have read it so many times that I have it memorized and when I start to recite it when she is cranky in the car, I always get a smile.

Fun book

My son is 4 and has been enjoying this since his 2nd birthday. He thinks it is hilarious. It's fun to read and reminds me of the times I spent putting everything back in his crib each morning when he was a baby. It flows well with great pictures and allows for interaction (it takes one reading for any child who is able to talk to know when to should OVERBOARD!)

What a Great Book

Both my kids, age 4 and 2, love this book. Something about seeing the little bunny making a mess just cracks them up. I find the book fun to read as well; the author and illustrator have really captured the spirit of a toddler and it makes me smile to see so much of my kids in the character.

Kids will go overboard for this title at storytime

The quintessential read-aloud book, OVERBOARD chronicles the adventures of "one little bunny who likes to fling things." He tosses peaches overboard. Favorite jammies? Overboard! Bunny wipers and bunny diapers? You guessed it! And, of course, youngsters (and even oldsters) will want to join the chorus, chanting "overboard!," as each item is flung to the ground. The text has strong rhythm and rhyme, helps children ages 2-3 start developing phonological awareness, so this book is more than just a fun read; it's a good choice for encouraging early literacy skills. The illustrations are as fun as the book, with bright colors within strong black lines. Sure to be a hit in storytime and for one-on-one reading.
