Dinosaurs are great!.......2007-09-28

This has fast become my son's favorite book! He asks for it all the time and is also learning good manners too!

My grandkids.......2007-08-23

I bought this book for my grandson, (2), but my grand-daughter, (4), also loves it. The book is in a series and since my grandson loves it so much I am buying more of the series. I like it because he can't rip it up and the pictures are so clear that we can use it for educational purposes and they don't even know it.

Fun book but badly translated.......2007-07-12

I bought this book so my father who is Peruvian would have a Spanish book to share with my son. Unfortunately, he says that the translation is terrible. So, being a good Papa, he just makes up the story according to the pictures. My son doesn't mind because he so loves the dinos and their mischievous behavior.
I'm disappointed because I thought I'd be able to read it to him and work on my own Spanish which I won't be doing since it's not a good translation.
I got a second opinion from a Spanish-speaking friend and she agrees that the translation is not very good.

A DINO HIT.......2007-02-15

My three yr old grandson loves this book and he is currently very
fascinated by Dinosaurs. It gets the message across about a clean
room and at the same time it is laugh out loud funny. The clever
illustrations are a winner too. You won't go wrong with this fun
book! Thanks Amazon.

Book Description

What if a dinosaur's friends come to play? Does he mope, does he pout if he can't get his way? Does he hide all his dump trucks, refusing to share? Does he throw his friends' coloring books up in the air? Time and time again, children are told to "play nice." This brilliantly illustrated board book is packed with rhymes that will teach children how. Mark Teague's laugh-aloud illustrations, along with Jane Yolen's playful text, will show children that "playing nice" can be easy and fun. Perfect for parents to read aloud with their children, this book is as humorous as it is instructive.

Great Book.......2007-09-11

This book was a great continuation of all the dinosaur books in this series. My 3yr. old daughter just loved it!

Sounds Great!.......2007-09-11

I saw this book in Kohl's department store and my kids leafed through it while I hunted for backpacks & shoes. Books were not on the list that day, so we left it behind, but after seeing it in my son's Scolastic catalog, I think I'll order it from Amazon! Love anything that teaches positive manners and reinforces my instruction.

a must own for any child.......2007-08-12

My 16 month old daughter loves having us read this book to her over and over and over again, she never gets sick of it, love how it has all the different names of the types of dinosaurs too (even though we don't know how to say some of them!). Can't wait to get all the other "how do dinosaurs" books for her!

A HUGE hit!.......2007-07-15

My 2 year old loves books and when I asked the children's librarian for some suggestions for my dinosaur lover she suggeted all of Jane Yolen's dinosaur books. My son adores this one. I like it since it has a wonderful message about sharing with friends and we are working on that skill. We read it over and over and I am now going to have to purchase it to keep at home. The board book is a great size since we can take it in the car or in the diaper bag.

GREAT BOOK!!.......2007-05-12

These Dinosaur books are great for both boys and girls. I brought this book (and two other Jane Yolen Dinosaur books) into my sons pre-school
class and they all begged me to read more...These books are great and they teach lessons in a very funny way.

A Nice Book - a review of "The Berenstain Bears Count Their Blessings".......2006-02-18

I am totally baffled as to why this Berenstain series is called "First Time Books". Nothing could be further from the truth. The vocabulary is sophisticated (words like 'Killer Koyote', 'Avenger', 'Equestrienne') and there are way too many words per page to make this appropriate even for a first grader. [In fact, at least one of the kid's reviews here was written by a 10 year old!]

Note: Take a look at the page offered in Amazon's "Search inside this book" feature to judge for yourself.

And while I like the moral of this book, I find that it suffers from a reversal of heart at the end. In this case, after having made the point (very well I thought) that children *should* be thankful for what they have; the story suddenly reverses course and has Mama and Papa caving in and planning to buy the desired toys anyway. What gives?

To me this counters the good message of being thankful, with the supposition that if they `just wait' children will eventually get what they desire.

from the book:

So while Papa set the table and Mama started supper,
Sister went upstairs to play with her Bearbie doll, and
Brother tried to reach the next level on one of his video
games.

"You know, my dear," said Papa. "There are birthdays and
Christmas coming. Do you have any ideas for the cubs?"

"I thought perhaps a Just Married Bearbie for Sister and
a couple of video games for Brother might be nice," Mama
said. "What do you think?"

"I think we should count our blessings too," said Papa.

I don't know what other children make of this mixed message, but mine were happy that the cubs were going to get what they wanted.

Four Stars. [B-] The book starts off very well. It *does* convey the message that we should be thankful for what we have and not want new things all the time just because our friends get/have them. But in my opinion, you will have to have a discussion about the ending to make sure that message sticks.

Counting blessings.......2006-02-04

I think that this book was good. i thought that this book was good becauseit was mabey helping poeple count there blessings.I think that you should read this book if you want to read a little kid book.It is a good book.

Not the first time........2006-01-04

This book is ok, but I think they've already learned about "counting their blessings" in "Get the Gimmies." That's why I gave it a three!

will you ever sleep tonight?

This book moved me........2006-04-28

Beautiful poetic verses accompanied by lovely illistration are even more meaningful when taken in the context of the real life Jumbo's possible memories. My daughter rechecked this library book again and again. Soon to be 8, I'm sure she will enjoy it just as much when I buy it fo her new baby brother. However this lullaby is worthy of much more elaborate illistrations.

Excellent Childrens Book for Bedtime.......2002-11-15

This is an excellent bedtime book to read to a young child. We started reading it to our daughter when she was first born. Now at age 16 months, it is her favorite book.

The pictures are vibrant and sweet. But my favorite part of the book is the cadance of the text....it just flows off the tongue and thus is a joy to read. We have basically memorized it from reading it so much. So now we can recant it to our daughter even when we don't have the book. This is a great benefit when travelling, since the familiar words lull our daughter to sleep.

Can't recommend it highly enough!

My 2-year old's favorite.......2000-05-05

This is my two-year old's very favorite book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is very creative. The author tells of the dreams of various animals. A hippo dreams of being a butterfly. Zebras dream of being painted in bright colors. I definitely recommend it, especially for animal-loving children.

Ages 1-5. Now available in a large, sturdy board book edition, this enchanting bedtime story will soothe and beguile children and adults alike. As a little girl wonders what it would be like to sleep like animals do--curled up in a basket, or hanging upside down, or lying in a hollow log--the carefully detailed pictures show her peacefully slumbering as she rests on a cat's warm fur, hangs companionably next to a bat, and is lovingly held by a raccoon. Although many of the pictures are funny, the overall atmosphere of the book is tender, dreamy and (yawn) very soporific.

Book Description

When you start to yawn...and yawn...do you sometimes wish you could curl up like a kitten in a basket, or a bird in a downy nest? Could you sleep standing up like a giraffe, or hanging upside-down like a bat? Little ones will love snuggling up with this soothing bedtime story and imagining how it would feel to sleep like their favorite animals-in the comfort of their own beds.

Great Bedtime Story.......2007-04-14

This is a nicely done children's book with beautiful illiustrations by Linne Cherry. The prose of Jane R. Howard has a sing-song cadence, and is related one sentence a page. Each page pictures the young girl narrator in a different place sleeping, and in each page she is being held by a cozy animal. The story, wording and cadence are condusive to a good night's rest and will be perfect to settle kids down for beddy-bye.

A great going to bed book.......2001-03-15

What a great book. My 17 month old now runs to the stairs to go to bed and asks for "the sleepy book". The pictures are beautiful, the pages CAN'T tear, and she loves it. She stands when the giraffe page comes, but sits right back down with the owl. A nice change from Goodnight Moon which we read for 17 months!!!

A Very Cozy Book.......2001-02-08

Jane Howard lulls us to sleep with soothing adjectives such as cozy, curl, stretch, yawn and warm, while we're drawn in by Lynne Cherry's illustrations utilizing brilliant colors and life-like imagery. This is a simple bedtime story that pacifies both reader and listener. It draws you in with the repetition of the phrase, "When I'm sleepy," and keeps you in a very tranquil mood until the very end. I read this book to my children in order to calm myself down. Days are hectic for both children and their parents, and I always found this book to be of comfort to both. There is an appreciation for nature and a glance into our wildlife, their habitat, and how the animal kingdom comes to rest. The earth tones of green, orange, red and blue are found on every page. The young girl sleeps beside the animals in their sprawling or confined surroundings and appears content in every posture. This book roams through the mind of a sleepy young girl wishing and wondering what it would be like to sleep with turtles in a swamp, raccoons in a hollow log, penguins on the freezing ice or giraffes standing up. She is pictured on each page doing those things that transform the setting but not the mood of the story. In the end she discovers the place she desires most is her own cozy bed with warm cuddly blankets and a soft pillow. On the final page, fluffy white clouds above her head reveal the various animals she had imagined as she was falling asleep. I think this book is a delightful alternative to counting sheep! I would recommend it to anyone who like me is always trying to find ways to get children to relax. You cannot read this book without becoming relaxed. It's like a magic potion. Jane Howard captured the essence of falling asleep in a unique and captivating way. The illustrations seal the words inside a cozy blanket of color and style that makes this book a true work of art!

good bedtime story for children who sleep alone.......2000-11-02

The book opens with a little girl lying alone in her bed, with her teddy bear. At first she is unhappy being in her bed alone at night, as she wishes she could sleep in various places in the world with the animals that live there instead. Places range from curled up with a bird in a nest to sleeping standing up in between two penguins on the ice. In almost every picture she is snuggled up with the animal. After going through various scenarios she states she is happy to be sleeping in her own bed with her blanket and pillow, and we see her sleeping with two stuffed animals and dreaming of her real animal friends. After visiting these various sleeping arrangements I expected to see her sleeping alongside her parents, as humans used to do for most of our existance on this planet, and as some cultures continue to do today. It seemed silly to me for her to have been so happy literally curled up sleeping next to a bear and a raccoon, but then at home she is relegated to sleeping with stuffed toys. I would have given this book more stars if she was shown sharing sleep with her parents which is what historically, human children have done. The illustrations are very nice and show fine details of various habitats such as under the sea and the Egyptian desert. This is obviously a good story to read to your child before bedtime especially if your child sleeps alone, or if you are transitioning from a family bed to having your child sleep alone. If you have a family bed your child may be a little confused about why the girl is sleeping all alone.Parents who enjoy books and stories about wildlife will also like this book.

Our Favorite Bed Time Story.......2000-02-06

From the back cover of this book:" A gorgeous bedtime classic is now a board book. How would it feel to sleep in a bird's downy nest? Or in a bear's snug cave? This soothing, fanciful story invites children to imagine. But it also shows them that the sweetest dreams are found in their own soft beds."

Lynne Cherry's wonderful illustrations make this a classic "must have" book for all who read stories to children before bed. This one will make even wild kids sleepy! In this story a sleepy young girl wonders what it would be like to snuggle with a variety of cuddley animals...the illustrations are so endearing that your child won't be able to wait to snuggle her favorite bedtime toy.

General | Ages 4-8 | Children's Books | Subjects | Books

Book Description

An excellent introduction to the varied and remarkable ways animal fathers care for their young IN THE VAST ANIMAL KINGDOM, mommies are often solely responsible for the birth and upbringing of their young. But daddies can, and do, help in a variety of surprising ways. In this new natural science book for children, award-winning writer Mary Batten offers a fascinating and entertaining look at paternal behavior in the animal world. From birds and amphibians to small mammals and primates, numerous examples of males caring for their young are presented in accurate and clear language. Among the featured fathers are the blue jay, the marmoset and the beaver, who share parenting responsibilities with the mother, as well as several animal daddies (such as the seahorse, the penguin, and Darwin's frog) that perform more extraordinary roles. Finally, the human father is singled out for devoting the most time of all to raising his young until they can survive on their own. Factual information on animal development and behavior is provided throughout the text. Higgins Bond's realistic and detailed illustrations accurately depict the animal families in their natural habitats, and warmly bring to life the animal daddies interacting with their babies. Did you know? It is the male seahorse--not the mother--that carries the unborn babies in a pouch. The male Darwin frog carries his baby tadpoles in his vocal sac until they are big enough to fend for themselves. A penguin daddy can keep an unhatched egg warm when temperatures drop to 80 degrees below zero.
