Product Description Illustrated in full color. Open the barn door and take a tour around the barnyard to find out just who's making all those wonderful animal sounds. Customer reviews Great for young readers  by .. Tina B. (Buffalo, NY)
This book is great for young readers. It's so bright and the little doors are great to captivate the attention of little kids. My son had this book for over two years and it went everywhere with us. It's just the right size for little hands. (bought this one for my niece)
A favorite  by .. CSNB (Maryland)
My 15 month old son loves this book and he gets better and better at lifting the flaps each time we read it. The only disappoinment was how small it was, but it is great for the diaper bag.
Great book by .. Angeline Rose (Austin, TX)
Another toddler favorite! This one is small enough for toddler hands so my son liked this one more than the others. Good board book that can take abuse.
Very good reading for certain adults, too by .. R. S. Wenocur ()
When I was tutoring an otherwise bright person who wanted to learn word processing, I noticed that she needed help with grammar and reading, too. This book is an excellent choice for an adult who uses poor grammar and has a low reading level. This person is middle-aged, 50-something, and loved the charming farm animals. She enjoyed using this book immensely herself, sharing it with her little child, too.
Both of my kids LOVED this little book & still do! by .. Kristie Finnan (Author of Mommy's High Heel Shoes) (www.mommyshoes.com)
I bought this tiny book 4 years ago at one of our local book shops. It is now tattered and torn from all the use it has gotten over the years by both of my kids! But it is still one of their favorites. It has taken a beating and we still keep reading! This is the book that I keep in my purse or diaper bag to keep my kids occupied at a restaurant, in a waiting room or at the grocery store. It really is a simple little book with just the right number of peek a boo flaps! I highly recommend this tiny board book to any family on the go :)Mommy's High Heel Shoes

A terrific children's book which teaches about animal parts (tails, mouthes, noses) and their functions in a very novel way. My 3 year old granddaughter loved it.

Great for Art Teachers too! by .. Cvat11 (NC, USA)
This book has amazing images of collage to create animals, and students love the content as well!
Wonderful book! by .. Anna M. Cech ()
I bought this book for my preschool classroom. The kids can't get enough of it and they love guessing which tail belongs to which animal. It's a great early reader for them too!
What DO you do with a tail like this? by .. Matthew J. Baek (Maryland, USA)
A very beautifully illustrated smart book, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A TAIL LIKE THIS helps kids think outside the box. My 3 year old daughter found it interesting the some creature have ears, mouth, etc. in other place then us humans. The book that starts with a question ends with wanting to ask more questions like the one my daughter asked, "Why do flies have 6 legs and spiders have 8?" I really couldn't answer why but I think this book helped her be more observant.
Interestingly beautiful illustrations help grab attention too, that was the reason I purchased this book in first place. The artist captures every necessary detail with his unique, almost surreal style which permeates throughout the book.

Jubilee, my 7 month old grand baby loves this book! It always makes her smile. Check it out at your local library and then buy it for your favorite baby as I did :-]
My 7-month old loves it! by .. Natalie M. Jamieson (Austin, Texas)
My sister got this for my 7-month old daughter for Christmas. She loves it. It keeps her attention and she kicks her little legs in excitement each time I read it to her. I like how the pages give you a little hint as to what will be on the following page (cow print for cow, train tracks for train, etc...). I also like that it is nice and short, perfect for the attention span of my little one.
Fun Book! by .. D. Evans (New Mexico)
My two-year-old granddaughter loves this fun little book. It's sturdy enough to withstand her exuberant reading style. After a couple of days, she was able to "read" it to me. A child over three may find it too simple to keep her attention.
cute for young toddlers by .. Helen Mckenzie (Florida)
My 9 months old likes this but the 22 month old already seems to be past this stage. It is good for very young kids.

I love all the dummy book series and this is one of the best. It guides you step by step and gives you a notion of children's book, how to start and publish your book. Although, I wish the book had more explanation about illustrations as I try both writing and illustrating.

Product Description "Please" and "thank you" are fun and easy to remember with Excuse Me!. Simple and repetitive, it's the perfect way to introduce those magic words that all little ones should know. From burping to breaking a sibling's toy, toddlers will love seeing these appealing babies in situations they know all about, and they'll have fun lifting the flaps to discover the right words to say-"Excuse me!" and "I'm sorry!" Customer reviews Very pleasant by .. Hugues (Washington, USA)
This is a very pleasant book to learn important things, which 1-year old son my loves ! The drawings are cute.
Great for a two year old by .. Avid Reader in Maryland (Columbia, Maryland United States)
This is an adorable book. The fact that it teaches manners is an added bonus. To me, the importance is that my two year old granddaughter can "read" it herself. At first I thought she could just give me the answers to the questions and that was cute enough. But then I overheard her "reading" it to her baby doll. What great self confidence this builds in a toddler. It is the best time to start building self esteem and making a child feel "smart".
1 1/2 year old's favorite book by .. A. Colyer ()
While I think the book will be terrific in a year to actually teach manners, at this point, my little guy is just entertained by the book. The pictures are simplistically expressive. He giggles every time we get to the second scenario (saying "Excuse me" when burping). He likes the participation of the turning pages. We typically end up reading this book 10 times a day, with my little fellow signing for more as I turn the last page....
What a wonderful world it would be if every child read this book! by .. Ann Clarke, children's book author (Florida)
Just perfect for the Wee Ones. This little flap book shows the way to good manners without preaching. A perfect book delight any small child. Ann Clarke, author of People Are So Different! based on tolerance and understanding.
We LOVE this book! by .. Sedexis (Mesa, AZ)
My daughter and I have been reading Karen Katz books together since she was able to sit up. This is an excellent addition to our collection! My daughter is now two-and-a-half, and she just LOVES the lift-a-flaps in these books. We have been working on manners, so this book is perfect. After reading these books a few times together, my daughter is able to read it back to me from memory, and she feels so proud when she finishes a book by herself. I highly recommend this and all of the Karen Katz books!!

the kids love the book & I love the price by .. Kimberly A. Smith (sumter,s.c.)

Great collection of childen stories by .. LadySihaya (Bs.As., Argentina)
This is truly a wonderful collection of classic children stories if you want to have great variety but have space or money issues. As another reviewer stated, it's ideal for travel or to explore new children stories and decide which ones to buy in a separate and full edition.
However it's a pity that because of a space issue, they have decided to leave out some pictures. Also, I have seen other anthologies (e.g. Your favorite Seuss: A baker's dozen by the one and only Dr. Seuss) that have managed to join in one page spread several pictures of a storybook in a more coherent way... Here, in some of the stories they have done it nicely, in others (e.g. Good Night Moon) they have just pasted into a page spread several pages of the book in very small detail. It's a pity that they couldn't make the book a bit bigger and longer to include the pictures in greater detail, or that they didn't edit two separate volumes so that they could fit the stories better.
As a plus, the stories are color-coded and cover a great variety of age-ranges, so it's still a great travel book if you have children of very different ages.
All this said, this is still a great way of getting to know a big selection of children's classics. In my case, I don't live in an English-speaking country, so I have to deliver children books for my kid via air-mail and it would be impossible to get these many books in their individual editions, so I'm very grateful to the Editor for making this excellent collection of children stories readily available for everyone.
Excellent Collection by .. DaddyO IN SFO (San Francisco, CA)
This book is an uncanny collection of most of our favorite children's stories that we have collected over the years plus many more we had not yet discovered. It's a great collection. The only downside of the collection is that the stories are displayed with several of the original "pages" per page which is distracting to young readers. They see the pictures from many pages at once while the parent tries to read the through the words left to right.
Wonderful Book! by .. Tanya Willey ()
I received this book as a gift when my boys were 17 months old and 1 month old. The are now 2 and 3, and we still read from this book just about every day. The Table of Contents suggests age groups for each story, but I have found that my kids are pretty much up for any of them, even at a young age. This time I purchased it as a gift for someone else, and if Amazon continues to offer amazing prices on it ($27 instead of $40 at major bookstore) then I will buy it for everyone I know that has a child. It's one that your kids will never tire of (just keep it out of reach to keep in good condition, as they will want to flip through the picures on their own...).

Product Description Illustrated in full color. This car-and- truck-filled alphabet extravaganza that starts with an ambulance and ends with a zippercar, is shaped like Lowly Worm's applemobile. Customer reviews Cute and simple by .. lainibug (Nashville, TN)
I bought this for my baby nephew, thinking it might be the Lowly Worm story I had memorized when I was teeny. It's not, but was still a good purchase. It's even smaller than a regular board book (check the measurements) and is a word book rather than a story. So it will probably be a good take-along more than for story time.
The pictures are classic Richard Scarry, and include some fun imaginary ones (Egg Car) along with fire truck, etc. It gets 4 stars from me because I don't consider it a must-have, but it's a great intro to Scarry, especially for a child who loves vehicles. At the low price, if you know what you're getting, you won't be disappointed.
H and I are missing  by .. some_woman (Here & There)
The size is not a problem from me. This book is meant to be held by small hands. My daughter has other books this size that she walks around with pretty much all day.
What bothers me is that two letters are missing. I thought I got a defective copy but I read another reviewer count 24 letters represented in this book. There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. H and I are missing in this book. No room for a Hippo car & Igloo car? No Humvee & Ice Truck?
Because of this egregious (and shameful!) mistake, I'm tempted to give it an even lower rating. But the fact is, my daughter likes it and responds to it. (She yells out "Meow!Gaaar!" when the cat is driving one of the vehicles) So, yeah, she'll get the silliness of animals driving silly vehicles, but she won't be learning the alphabet from this book, that's for sure.
Small but Cute by .. C. Grano (Las Vegas, NV USA)
This book is very small. That makes it nice to carry around, but hard to see the little drawings on the pages. Our 15 month old daughter doesn't understand all the crazy cars (pickle car, toothpaste car, etc.), we have a good time reading it occasionally. If you're interested in a Richard Scary book, I would recommend a larger book with more going on on each page. My nephew has a huge one that he loves to stare at.
My son loves this book... by .. Melanie C. Hurt (Idaho)
I bought this book as filler, to receive free shipping. It's a small, inexpensive book. The illustrations are very cute and the format is nice. It has the letter of the alphabet and then vehicles that start with that letter. It's been great alphabet and two-word phrase practice for my 22-month old. He enjoys reading this book with me and he now says "garbage truck" and "big truck." I'm very happy I decided on this book. It is surprisingly small, about four-inches square, but cute, nontheless.
Great book for the car! by .. Aaron'smommy (Pennsylvania)
After reading many reviews on here, I bought this book wondering what I'd get. It seems that most reviews here are either very strongly liking this book or very strongly not liking it (it's a kid's book for gosh sakes!)
Anyway, my son loves this book! It's the perfect size to hand him in the car or leaf through and talk about at a restaurant while waiting for food. The book is silly and fun- so please lighten up if you're not sure what a "corn car" is or whatever. Richard Scarry wasn't afraid to use his imagination, and was a lot of fun as a result.
It's an inexpensive book that takes a few minutes to flip through. Golden, in my eyes!

Read The Business of Writing for Children to learn the secrets you might spend years discovering for yourself. Customer reviews Everything I'd hoped for, and then some! by .. Hannah K. Knott (Spain)
This is an excellent book for aspiring writers who want to publish a children's book, rich with advice and seasoned with experience.
I found it to be thorough, honest, and enormously helpful. Not only does it contain all the information I was looking for, but it also contains answers to questions I hadn't thought of... plus lots of helpful hints.
My copy of it is already "marked up" (the highest sign of appreciation for any book of mine) with notes and high-lightings. I've already read it twice and I know I'll be reading it again.

THANK YOU AARON SHEPARD!!! by .. Iowa Eddie ()
All the other books like this are 1000 pages of self-indulgence by their authors. Aaron Shepard keeps it short and to the point.
Short and Sweet by .. Trisha Dehler (Portland, ME)
I confess I have three of Mr. Shepard's books. Why? Because, they are all straight to the point. The advice is not padded with trite page fill, such as, "Paint you home office mauve so you'll feel relaxed while writing." You can pay for a thicker book, but you won't get more information. The Business of Writing for Children gives you the facts you need to set off on the pathway to success. What else do you need?

The Absolute Best "How-To Get Your Writing Career Started" Book on the Market by .. Alan M. Brown (Tallahassee, FL)
"The Business of Writing for Children" is an exceptional guide for all writers. There are loads of books on the market that deal with writing, but Aaron Shepard's work is a diamond amongst lead pellets. He shares his real life experiences that have led him to become a world renowned author. Reading the book was like being able to sit down face to face with a children's lit superstar to teach me all about the business.
There are several features that make Shepard's book superior to others in the field.
First, the book is a step-by-step guide. Shepard presents a logical sequence of events to follow to accomplish your writing goals. Second, Shepard shares the lessons that he learned as a new author struggling to get his work published to the accomplished writer he is today. Third, he lays out how to format your work in the manner that editors look for. Fourth, he provides unique strategies to make your manuscripts stand out on editors' desks. Fifth, Shepard explains how to get your work to editors who do not take unsolicited work. Sixth, the book gives an array of ideas to market your work and yourself. These are only a few of the things that I found to be extremely useful in this book.
Additionally, the book is not filled with fluff. It is only about 100 pages long. Some of the other books on this subject are hundreds of pages long. I found that all of the larger books available are filled with a lot of useless information; whereas, Shepard only supplies useful and relevant information. I appreciated his approach because I felt that I needed a straight forward approach to help me on my writing journey.

Product Description Why are none of the students in Raphael's school paying attention? Who made a doodle into a masterpiece? How do you paint speed? Can collecting things be art? What kind of sculpture is supposed to disappear? Can you trust a painting? How would you make a self-portrait of yourself? Can you paint music? Following the international success of THE ART BOOK FOR CHILDREN (BOOK ONE), this second volume will continue to expand the minds and creativity of children aged from seven to eleven. Thirty new artists and key examples of their works have been selected to encourage children to ask why the artists do what they do. Both volumes of THE ART BOOK FOR CHILDREN are fun for young readers, ideal tools for teachers and parents, and perfect introductions for all those approaching art for the first time.

Stunning introduction to fine art for kids (and anyone) - puts the focus on the details. by .. Joshua G. Feldman (New York)
This isn't a book for little kids (although little kids might enjoy looking at it). It's a big colorful book with lots of eclectic art masterpieces - from the Renaissance to the conceptual modern sculpture - with thoughtful analysis and wealth of break out images highlighting particular details and concepts. The analysis text is pitched at smart late elementary aged kids (2nd-3rd grade through 7th, I'd say). I found I was getting a lot out of it too. I love the variety and pacing of the artistic selections. The radical changes page to page with keep kids' attention. The breadth helps introduce kids to the broad spectrum of art. The focus on detail, analysis, and comprehension helps convey to kids the language and forms of art appreciation. Any kid will find this at least diverting. For certain kids - the ones who have a special affinity for art - this book will be a revelation and might change their lives. Highly recommended.
Jump start your creative juices by .. M. Pharr (Asheville, NC United States)
I checked this out from the library and kept it so long, I decided I needed to have my own copy. I am purchasing it, not only for myself and children to look at and discover the art, but as a resource for art projects at the camp I work for. It gets your wheels turning about all the different media and types of art.
Great interactive art book! by .. D. Croker (Nashville, TN USA)
This book, along with the Art Book for Children Book One, is a wonderfully imaginative collection of art. Each piece is complemented with great background on the work of art and interactive questions. This isn't an academic resource with a lot of historical or biographical detail, but one that will instill wonder in the reader (including adults). It is PERFECT for children, whether they love to draw or not, and for the folks who read these books to kids. Moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grannies and grandpas -- you'll be really thanked if you get these for the children in your life. Both of my girls, ages 5 and 9, love these two books. Buy them both!

Cullen J. Waters (Tampa, FL USA)
When my children were elementary school age, I used this book to augment my teaching about virtuous living.

I am now buying it for my various grandchildren and young nieces and nephews.
Excellent Collection of Stories and Poems by .. Kelly McCants (Frisco, TX)
My children and I just adore this book. What a lovely collection of stories all heavily demonstrating solid virtues that are Biblically rooted, not worldly. My children, ages 5 and 4, request that several stories be read time and time again. This book will grow with us through the years; they are no where near growing out of it.
Bennett compiles the stories and poems in 4 categories: courage/perseverance, responsibility/work/self-discipline, compassion/faith, and honesty/loyalty/friendship. There is a nice selection in each category of 1 paged poems, to several paged stories. There is a solid virtue to be taken from every single work.
I recommend this book highly. Fill those little minds with things that are good, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable. Also recommended by the same author are The Children's Book of Faith and The Children's Book of Heroes. Both also have wonderful collections and wonderful illustrations.
wonderful by .. C. Wymer ()
I had this book when I was a little kid. I honestly think that by reading it, it changed how I viewed things as a child. Partially because of this book, when I was little I had strong feelings about responsiblity, kindness, courage, perserverance, and many of the other subjects illustrated in The Children's Book of Virtues. I loved reading it and the stories affected me greatly.
It's About The Message, Not The Messenger by .. Penny Dreadful (Here)
These tales were collected from virtually every corner of the globe and some go far back into the reaches of antiquity. Bennett and his collaborators did a fine job of finding stories of universal, fairly non-controversial appeal that we can all cite without worrying about the inherent differences in religion or politics that might otherwise divide us. Segregated according to the principles being celebrated (Honesty, Courage, etc.) these fables and true life stories demonstrate virtues of conduct far too often left unstressed in our morally-undermined society.
GOOD CHILDREN'S BOOK AND STORIES by .. Father (NH United States)
I purchased this book and a few others in the series for my 4 ½ year old. My son is very intelligent for his age, yet some of the stories were a bit long and beyond his attention span and/or understanding. However, I am not disappointment as I am confident that in time, all the stories will be appropriate. I would recommend this book!
