Customer Reviews

Missing CD & Scribbled Galore

No CD & scribbling on EVERY page. Not what I accepted with “like new” description. Very disappointed!

Missing CD :(

I ordered this to replace a CD that was lost. The book arrived with no CD.

A book we read year round in our home!

My daughter has absolutely LOVES this book! So much so, she wouldn't let me put it way in our Christmas box. So far we've been singing/reading this to her since last Christmas. Time & time again she'll go find this book and ask me "read please"! We love the photos of all the dogs and especially the surprise ending!!!! Absolutely delightful book! This young author had a terrific idea in creating this book! It has brought much joy & song into our home! And it's such a cute book that I don't mind reading it all though the year!!!

Great Gift!

A friend bought this book (which comes with a CD) last Christmas for my daughters (then 2 1/2 yrs and 1 yr). They absolutely love this book! They both sing along to this catchy and humorous version of the 12 Days of Christmas and laugh every time at the surprise ending. I recommend this book highly and am purchasing it for gifts this year. Warning: Be prepared to read it throughout the year! This makes an enjoyable gift for dog lovers of any age!

A Proud Father

My review of this book is somewhat prejudice since I am the proud father of the author. Of course I love the book. It has sold over 100,000 copies. The important thing is that it give so much pleasure to everyone who reads it (both adults and children) and has helped many kids to learn and enjoy reading. Emma wrote the book on the back of a paper place mat at a Christmas lunch two years ago and who would have dreamed it would turn out this way. She is now 9 years old and the leading fund raiser among 2 million kids who collect for the American Heart Association. She's also the number one scorer on her 5th grade basketball team (she's tall).Of course I'm proud.

This book will get uninterested readers reading!

I used this book while enriching reading skills with spanish speaking first graders. When they listened to the cd they were immediately attracted to the book. We sung the song together and they pointed to the words in the book. I play the cd all the time at home. My Cocker Spaniel and two Jack Russell Terriers also enjoy listening to the cd during the Christmas holiday season. The pictures are very realistic.
