Customer Reviews

Fun to read!

I read this book to my 4 year old neice, and to my two year old son. They both LOVED it. They asked me to read it over and over again! It has silly rhymes that can twist your tongue if you go too fast! The pictures aren't what you would expect for a children's book, but they are wonderfully done and even I like to look at them. I now have the book memorized and can tell it in no time flat. My husband likes to hear it becuase it makes his brain think if I tell it to him quickly. A must have for any book shelf!

Captivating!

My husband and I started reading this book to our newborn son, who was immediately taken with the silly, repetitive words, and was captivated by the fabulous, large, multi-color illustrations. Now, at 15 months, this is one of the only books we can be guaranteed that he will sit through to the end...it's a repeat favorite and is an excellent read aloud for even the youngest infants. A great gift idea, especially for parents and/or caregivers who want to share and instill multi-cultural values in their growing children. This very lighthearted story is about the 3 brothers and the 3 sisters with silly names who marry and have kids -- all are of different ethnic persuasions, have different interests and occupations -- and all are different sizes and shapes.

Delightful!

I am a first grade teacher. My kids absolutely love this book. You really have to practice reading the book aloud before you read it to anyone else. My class wants me to read this one over and over again. Check it out!

Simply Irresistible

I checked this book out of the library for my 2 1/2 year old about 6 months ago. Since that time we have checked it out at least 8 more times; it is always a requested favorite. My opinion...well at first I thought it was totally off-the-wall. Now I see that because my daughter loved this book so much, she can now read it as she turns the pages! She wants to know if Santa will leave it for her at Christmas.

If you hate it the first time through, read it again!

This was one of those books that took us two readings to appreciate- mostly because it's so very unusual and totally GOOFY. My three year old son, however, is now addicted to it, and calls himself by the name of the first character introduced...Yuck. (Isn't that a lovely name for a little boy?) So let loose a bit of what your expectations are of a "good" children's book... and let this one delight you and your child linguistically and visually for your next reading time you have together.
