A fabulous beginner book for a baby/toddler
Rating:
5 / 5
I love love love this series by Kitamura . . . Duck is Dirty and Cat is Sleepy are my favorites of the four books. There is something so completely fresh about Kitamura's style -- the plot is simple but humorous enough and allows a 1+ year old in on the joke. Like some others who have posted, I have bought these books as gifts for friends who have just had babies (fairly safe in the assumption that they don't have them already.) The publisher needs to print more!
She will actually sit through this book
Rating:
5 / 5
Our daughter loves to look at books but she will rarely sit through a whole story. We got this book when she was 14 months old, and at 21 months, she still loves it. The pictures are bright and funny and there are few words on each page. The words that are there are words that she says all the time "Uh-oh", "dirty", "duck", etc. and the story is very easy to understand. I find her in her room all the time "reading" the book because she remembers what words go with what picture. If she is in a mood to sit down for a few minutes, it is also easy to make the story longer by bringing in other aspects of the pictures or just making up other things about the duck. We now have the whole set, and they are our daughter's favorites - evidenced by the fact that they are the only books she does not chew on because she is too busy reading them!
great first book
Rating:
5 / 5
This is the first book I bought for my daughter when she first started flipping through pages and wanting a story. For months she would say "uh oh" every time I turned a page (this is how three of the pages start) and want me to read it to her over and over again. Definately a good book for 9-14 months.
