Customer Reviews

My 2 1/2 year old loves this book...

...So much so that, since losing the original, he's been hounding us for it. Hence why I'm here to order another copy. Yes, the gun's appearance is a bit disconcerting, but I see it as an opportunity to start cautioning about the dangers of guns. Sort of like dodgey subject matter in the older fairy tales & what not.

Where did the Sun Go?

Wake up! These are words my almost three-year-old son Devon uses every morning. Lord, I can't believe I could hardly wait for him to start talking. Well now is and he won't shutup. Since we don't have a TV at our house, because we think Sponge Bob Square Pants and the like can't possibly be good for children, we read. Many of the children's books we read to him are beyond his understanding, but this one is perfect for a child who has just learned all his letters, upper and lower case. A flea bites a dog, he barks and the other barnyard animals believe the dog is heralding a new dawn. But where is the sun? The animals go on a quest for it and your toddler will have fun as you and he/she follow them along. This is a book for the earliest of beginning readers. Big print, two lines per pages, simple words, but yet they tell a nice story. My son loves this book and he is starting to figure out the words. Oh, Happy Day!

a different view of how the sun comes up!

Every child wonders about the sun and why it goes up or goes down. I've read this book to my daughter and she likes it! She can even read it by herself
