Lovely and gentle - By: BabyMarvel, 03 Aug 2008 
Such a lovely board book &in my opinion it's perfect for babies & toddlers of any age really.
It's especially good for reading before a daytime nap (or any winding down time) as the beautiful rhymes & gentle illustrations can be quite soothing.
My 2 year old daughter loves it & I highly recommend it.
Buy it & you'll soon see...it will come out from the bookshelf time & time again.
amazing book let down by presentation - By: A. O'Carroll, 26 Jan 2008 
As all the other reviews say, this is an out & out classic children's book - a must have.
This copy, however, is dreadful. The paper is thin & overly glossy, making it difficult to get to the next page & it could do with being bigger as it's really all about the pictures. I bought where the wild things are at the same time & that is amazingly presented, highlighting the problem with this further. This seems like a pamphlet or concert programme - cheap.
Save money & get the board book. It's smaller but the pictures are sharper.
Charming - By: Stephanie Kirby, 14 Sep 2007 What a perfectly charming book. Children love the bouncy rhyme & they recognise many famous characters such as tom thumb & cinderella. Statistics show that if a child is not interestedin a reading by the time they are 7 they never will be. This is a brilliant introduction to literature!
Lovely for young children - By: twinmummy, 06 Apr 2007 This is a lovely book for young children. Mine love looking on every page for the hidden character, & the rhyming text is great & easy to remember so little ones can joinin when they've heard it a few times.
My 3 kids love this one!
Read this as a child - By: S. Greaves, 13 Sep 2006 I read this book when I wasin nursery school & 20 years on I still love it, this is one that my children will read. The rhyme is simple yet effective, the pictures are beautiful to look at & enjoyable as you follow the story & find the characters. A must havein every family.
