Baby Preschool Books

We love these dinosaurs books. They are for kids of all ages and for boy OR girl. They are so cute and teach a lesson. This one is about colors and though it isn't my favorite of the series, it is very good. I love the pictures and so does my daughter

My three year old likes all these books. They aren't too dull to read either for the parent.

This is a pretty good book. My son doesn't like it as much as Goodnight & Food. I don't really think it is a good tool for teaching colors if all you do is read the story. You have to linger on the pages and do that yourself, and we all know that all the kids want to do is flip to the next page as fast as possible.

I gave this to my nephew who just turned 3. He and all his cousins are into Dinosaurs right now, so he loves the book. His mom was happy, cause all the other books he has on Dinosaurs are reference style books and to old for him. She says it is great that there is so many books in this series. She used to have to look at the same book over and over again making up a story to go along with the pictures.

My nephew is just learning to read and this book has gotten him hooked !

We all know this book, no need for me to re-iterate the plot.

What makes it work, though, is that Dr. Seuss understood the importance of breaking the rules - something many of his imitators never grasp. He didn't stick to a rhyme scheme or a meter all the time, he varied it and dropped it when needed. That makes his books readable instead of mind-numbing - even when you're reading them for the 1000th time straight :)

This is such a fun book. Who doesn't love Dr. Suess's Green Eggs and Ham? Great rhmes, a lot of sight words and a lesson about trying things before you decide how you feel about them.

As a mom of a 24 and an 8 year old (I know . . . big surprise) I am firmly of the opinion that Dr. Seuss is the greatest American philosopher! In this book he urges us to try things that we may be afraid of or even repelled by. Many folks think this book applies only to food but I think he is urging us to be more brave in all avenues of life. We need to listen to those around us urging us expand our horizons. I believe that if we go for it and 'take a bite of the egg and ham' then we too will say "Thank you, thank you Sam-I-am."

I forgot how much I loved this book until I began reading it for my 3-year-old. She loves it, and I love reading it to her (unlike the ELMO books which our daughter loves and I dread). You really can't go wrong with Dr. Seuss. The illustrations are imaginative and the writing is really a work of genius in children's literature. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Being the cruel and heartless person that I am, it was been years since I have bothered to so much think about this book. But, it being the week of the celebration of Dr. Seuss I have been reading various Suessian books to them. I forgot what a fun tongue-twister of a tale this was! My kids were able to repeat entire sections of the book with me and the illustrations are entirely animated without moving. Awesome book.

Our Toddler son loves to peak under the flaps to find Elmo's blanket. Great book and durable.

We got this for our 18 month old son for Christmas. He loves this book. You ask him where certain characters are and he points to them or lifts the flap to expose them. This is definitely a great book for a little one.

Bought this for an older sibling together with the baby gift. The mother called to thank me profusely. Her daughter simply loves it.

This book has lots of flaps for kids to look under. The book also follows the movie Elmo in Grouchland to a large degree. My 2 yr old daughter loves Elmo and loves lifting flaps so this is a hit with her.

My 2yo loves this book. She's never seen Sesame Street but has picked up on the characters quickly. She enjoys all the flaps to open.

I love this book. I love any book that enables me to teach my child anything about safety. This book allows my daughter to see the keypad and dial the numbers just like on a real phone. It has a very simple "story" and is easy for her to understand. My ONLY complaint is that it's not as real-life as I would like it to be. On a REAL 911 call, the operator generally answers and says "911-What is your emergency" or something to that effect. It seems silly to me that the sound effects in this book say "911-Let's go!!!" and then blares sirens and fire truck horns. I just think that it should be closer to a real life situation since 911 is a serious phone call. Other than that one tiny thing, I think this is a great book to assist kids in the importance of dialing 911 and learning that it's just for emergencies and not for playing!!

I highly recommend this book for toddler age kids, it allows them to dial 911 and gives different reasons for calling for help. The pictures are for young people, they are not scary or intimidating! The classroom teacher made a lesson plan from this book after my son brouhgt it in for show and tell!

My daughter loves it and now she can better grasp the importance of know when and how to call 911. So I think it is a must have. Very educational.

I gave this book to my three year old grandson after talking to him about how to call 911 and reasons to do it. The book has a phone pad so 911 dialing can be practiced and memorized. The dialing is answered with the sound of sirens; it would be better if a voice said, "What is your emergency, where do you live and what is your name?." The siren is very loud. Overall tho, I think the book is helpful in giving examples of what conditions would require a call to 911. My grandson knows his name, his address and how to hold his hand under someone's nose to see if they are breathing. The book is sturdy and colorful and will help children learn when and when NOT to call.

My daughter loved pushing the 911 buttons and the sounds. Would not recommend for children over 5.

We recieved the books within the specified timeframe. They arrived new as advertised. Overall, we had a good purchasing experience & will do business with seller again.

This is a GREAT series of books for any child to start reading. Parents, the best thing you can do for your child is spend a few minutes each day and read to them. I loved this set when I was growing up and I am passing it on to my neice who is only a year old. I love these books.

The stories are just great but the finishing (cut and binding)of the books is not as good as the classic set.

Okay I grew up on Little Golden Books and I absoluetly LOVE THEM! I don't think there was ONE that I did not like. Having said that I would still like to know exactly *WHICH* STORIES ARE CONTAINED IN THIS BOOKS AS I AM CONTEMPLATING BUYING SOME OF THE OTHER LGB SET BOOKS ALSO. I cannot find that information ANYWHERE ON THIS PAGE! Can anyone help me out with that please? I'm sure that there are many others out there wanting to know the same thing! I rate LGB overall a 5 as they are CLASSICS as well as PRECIOUS Childhood Memories to me. Someone please list the stories contained in this book! Thank You! And God Bless You for doing so!!!!

I did an ISBN number search and found that these are the titles in this set: "The Poky Little Puppy, Tootle, The Saggy Baggy Elephant, Tawny Scrawny Lion, Scuffy the Tugboat," and "The Shy Little Kitten." A bonus blank Little Golden Book with the official gold foil spine lets children create their very own classic. Full color. Consumable.

It's very strange and annoying that the title are not included on the Amazon page. I too am trying to buy multiple LGB and can't figure out which to buy!

My little girl just turned 1 and she loves these books. She can easily hold them herself and turn the pages. The pictures are bright and engaging and the thick board pages stand up to her torture time after time. I also recommend the animals book just like this.

My 8 month-old daughter loves the Usborne touchy-feely book collection. She was very happy to add this one to her collection.

I had one of the Bright Baby books (colors) in my daughter's "library." I liked it so much better than most of what she had because it was one object per page with a big, real picture. Many of her other books had multiple pictures per page which made it hard to focus on one image or they had cartoonish pictures that weren't always a good representation of what they were supposed to be. Based on the ease and clarity of the Bright Baby Colors book, I ordered the First Words and the Animals books. I am not disappointed. With these books, there's one picture per page for my daughter to point to and for me to tell her what it is. I can tell that she's recognizing these pictures a lot easier and a lot quicker than images in other books. They are definitely a great tool for fun learning.

We were given this book in the hospital when my daughter was born as a gift from a community literacy project. Now, at 7 months, it is one of her favorites. The format is perfect for a young baby with only one word and its corresponding picture per page. The beautiful photographs are set against a colorful background and the pages hold my daughter's attention much longer than most of the books specified for her age. The other bonus is its sturdy construction. Since my daughter loves to explore her books with her mouth, her other board books quickly become worn around the edges. Not this one. The durable material of which it is made is holding up beautifully. Highly recommend!

My 14-month-old loves this book. It's easy to hold and loaded with great photos. I think reading these books to her has helped her learn many new words in the past two months. Wonderful!

Book arrived quickly, in new condition. The old-time favorite story with underlying moral....easy to read....many colorful illustrations that young ones like.

This was my favorite book as a child and I still love the idea for the story--working hard to enjoy the fruits of your work, while those who do not contribute cannot expect to enjoy those same rewards. Last year I started a small project of giving this book to everyone I know who has small children. I even sent stacks to friends in other states who then gave them out to people they knew. I received some very kind thank you's and comments from people I did not know who appreciated the message of the book. I would recommend this book to both children and adults.

Growing up my mom read this to me and my brother. I had forgotten how much I loved this story until we unearthed this book for my sons. Now they love it too! They loved it so much that I am forced to order another copy because my copy is worn out!

This book has a lovely repetitive rhythm that engages children to remember and repeat.
It is simple and gives a nice message about helping, the simplicity of the story also makes this a good book for beginner readers.

I'm surprised anyone still reads this. It is about the value of working and teaches the lesson that those who don't work should not share in the efforts of those who do work. If the major media and the federal government find out that people are still reading this you can expect it to be attacked or banned.

These are really nice quality cards. My daughter loves it when I get them out and it's nice for me too because on the back of each card is written some questions/interactional phrases to use when presenting the card. It comes in handy when I'm really tired and can't think of another thing to say about a particular animal. After a few times, she can pick out different animals from a selection of a few when prompted. Nice & fun language development tool.

It's silly that these cards are labeled for ages 4-8. My son has loved them since receiving them for his first birthday. He loves to shuffle through the cards, pointing and demanding to know what the animals are called and attempting to imitate their noises. The best thing about them is the card format - a novelty compared to all of his books. I will definitely purchase other sets.

I have found these cards to be the best and sturdiest for the price. The Baby Einstein ones were a disappointment in comparison. These had 16, Baby E had only 10. The box (which my daughter loves) is sturdy cardboard and has a velcro closure, as opposed to a flimsy box she squashed in 2 seconds. And the cards are the biggest difference -- very sturdy and professional looking! If you're looking for great cards, this brand is the best.

My 14-month-old enjoys handling the cards and never seems to tire of pulling them out and putting them back in the case. She likes the textures on the cards, and we have fun making the sounds of the animals pictured. As she gets older I think she'll get more out of the content of the cards, making this purchase an investment that will be useful for a few years.

My son has learning delays and loves the "Animals" collection. He has started to learn his animals and loves to feel parts of the animals on the cards. "First Words" is just as amazing. "Things that Go" is not as tactile. We have them all and find them to be the best card collection out there.

While the song is adorable and the pages are nice and sturdy, what I really like about this book are the illustrations. They are vibrant and clear and my son loves looking at this book over and over again. He is 16 months, so it is easy for him to point out animals and ask what they are. I like how the whale goes from being a baby, to a larger whale in the book and how different pages are shown with different perspectives. One page has a view from where the bird is flying in the sky--so the bird is large and the whale is small because he is swimming in the sea below. Another page has a broad view of the icebergs, sea, sky and northern lights. I am very impressed with the clarity and creativity of the illustrations in this book--and of course the song itself is fun to sing!

I love this book and the accompaning CD. My grandsons who are now 13 had this book when they were infants, and were still singing the songs when they were 5. I gave it as a gift to my God Daughter, and this one was a gift for my first Great Grandson. Raffi writes stories and songs that children should grow up with. I am positive I will give this book and CD again.

This book is great even if you don't know the music. My little guy 'reads' along while listening to the Raffi CD, but you don't need the CD to enjoy the book. The pictures are terrific for the child and adult. My son insists on reading this every night at bedtime, and that's okay with me!

My sister is a principal and highly recommeded this book for my grandchildren. THey love to read and sing so what better gift than to have it all wrapped into one.

Baby Beluga is a fantastic book for the class I work in. The three and four year old special ed students LOVE this book along with Raffi's music being played. I strongly recommend it for any child. I'm purchasing the book and the CD for my nephews who do not have any disabilities because I know they'll love it too.

I bought these books for my two year old son whose name is David. He likes to hear his name in the story.

My nine month old absolutely LOVES this book! It's the craziest thing; he literally squeals with excitement when I read it to him and tries to turn the pages in anticipation of what's next. I end up reading it over and over (which is not difficult since the whole thing has about ten words) because he gets very upset when it ends. Yes, it is utterly simplistic, but it is also surprisingly captivating for little ones. To those who criticize: I am sure this book is meant for those with very short attention spans and little knowledge of the English language. It's a BABY book!

We received this book as a gift when my son was born, and he's been captivated by it from about 4 months old even till now, at age 2. Simple words but lively illustrations with just enough humor to make it interesting to parents as well. I recommend the whole series of "diaper david" books and can't wait for my son to get a little older to introduce "No David" to him.

I gave my 2 and a half year old niece these books (Oh David, Oops, and David Smells board books along with the little David doll) for Christmas. She wanted me to read them to her over and over that day. Just got a message from my sister-in-law saying that my niece was up first thing the next day "reading" the books to herself over and over. Great set to get little ones interested in books and words.

Very cute book! My 3 year old twins would read any "David" book over and over. This was a huge hit with them
