My daughter's favourite book

Customer Rating:

We didn't have Dr. Seuss where I grew up so I don't have any misplaced emotional attachment to the "original"; for my daughter this will be the original. I love this little book and so does my daughter. When we start reading it she jumps up and down and laughs and claps her hands, we make it interactive with toys like a stuffed pig and a clown doll, yawning for night time, juggling on the "well feet" page. I've read it to her anything up to six times in a row. As an English major I can say that the rhyme and syntax flows beautifully, probably better than the original from the excerpts I've seen quoted here. Don't be put off by the fact it's not the "original" - your baby won't care one little bit.

Daughter absolutely loves it!	Customer Rating:
Not sure why she is so interested in it, but she wants it read over and over again. She just loves it and I REALLY like that it holds up so well. She is 15 months old and recently is in a phase of tearing paper. So...this has held up well.

Good warm-up for young toddlers

Customer Rating:

For a while my daughter (22 months at the time of this review) had no interest in Dr Seuss, but slowly she is warming up to it. This book's board book format that she can carry around works for her better in this case. She is still indifferent to a big hardcover collection that we have, probably because she is not allowed to handle it by herself. It's still not something that she brings me to read often, that's why she completely takes me by surprise by randomly quoting parts of it. Her favorite page is about quick feet and slow feet. Again, I expect this book to have a long lasting life in her library

Grandchild far away????

Customer Rating:

My granddaughter is only 20 months old and lives in Australia. I live in Philadelphia. I have actually seen her in person only 3 times since she was born. We "meet" on line about once a week with webcams ready. Although she speaks well, she's not quite ready for a full discussion. But, when she came to visit at 16 months, she really knew me instantly! I had the idea that we could "read" together, so I ordered several Dr. Seuss books - 2 of each - from Amazon.com. She gets to choose the book, and I have my copy near at hand. We can not only read, but I can also point out the various pictures. Last week, when reading "Hands Hands Fingers Thumb," I decided to bring out an African drum I have in the house. My daughter brought out one she had at her house, and my granddaughter and I played the drums together. "One thumb, one thumb, drumming on the drum. Dum ditty dum ditty dum dum dum." We were both laughing hard and had a great time. It was the first time I felt we were able to play together. Thanks, Amazon!
