Customer Reviews

Kids love it!

My kids loved this book. It's sing-songy and moves at a good pace. If your children enjoyed "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" as toddlers, then they will probably enjoy Snap! (the recommended age is 3-7, which seems accurate to me). The illustrations and the repetitive rhymes are similar to "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", yet more advanced and appealing to older children because the animals interact and play games (and suffer a mishap, but I won't spoil it).

A great picture book!

Snap! by Marcia K. Vaughan is an engaging tale of what happens to baby Joey when he decides to go play while Mama Roo takes a nap. He meets lots of Australian animal friends and learns lots of new games, but Joey has to think of a game to save the day after Sly-tooth the crocodile invites the friends to play Snap! We used this book to study Australia during the Sydney Olympic Games and had loads of fun!
