Children's Book

AS a director of a nursery school, I am always looking for wonderful books..."Snug As A Bug" is just that!

Great book

This book is absolutely wonderful. My 3 year old loves it and he even knows the words by heart. The pictures are outstanding and the rhymes are very easy for small children to follow and remember. This is a very enjoyable book.

cute as a bug

This book is "cute as a bug." The illustrations show various bugs in their PJs going to sleep. My 19 month old daughter asks for the BUG BOOK every night. Only complaint: the illustrations are done on white paper; a blue background might have added a more night-like setting.

Delightful bedtime story

I buy books for my grandkids, ages 4-6. They have been read to since birth and all love books. I am the "Book Grandma" so they get a book for each occasion. I am so please with this book, they giggle and laugh at the words and illustrations. I would highly recommend for this age group and also for new readers.

A beautiful lullaby book

This book is great as a bedtime routine book for a young child getting ready to go to bed. It's words help create a sense of security to going to sleep on their own. They get a kiss and a hug from their parents or caregivers and get ready to sleep as snug as a bug. The colorful illustrations are of all sorts of bugs and their comfortable beds, be they in a dirty old sock or under a rock. The words go well with the illustrations. This book is a soothing preparation to go to bed. It is appropriate for children ages 2-4.
