Really good fun!January 6, 2009 This is hilarious! We all love it - especially my two year old. It is the only one of these "Classic Board books with Holes" that is worth buying as it has all the words to the song that might otherwise be forgotten and the "holes" concept works extremely well with the "swallowing" story!
strange bookNovember 17, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the book for a present after reading all the great reviews. Found the story rather strange. And the ending that the woman dies is odd. Maybe that's English humour I don't get. The graphics are lovely though. I bought the hardbook and there was no CD, maybe hearing the song helps to enjoy the story more.
Perhaps she'll die?October 9, 2008 I loved this book when I was little. I'm sure we had the paper version. But my 10 month old daughter now loves the indestructable board version. A must have.
Lovely, well-illustrated bookOctober 3, 2008 My toddler realy enjoys singing along, but I'm not sure he gets the significance of 'perhaps she'll die' - it's great fun, but it is irritating that each page shows both the new animal being introduced and the next one along - so that when I'm singing about the dog, the lad is shouting 'cow, daddy, look, cow'. But excellent for all that.
A childhood classicSeptember 15, 2008 A childhood favorite that I now share with my son. The imaginative book design with holes encourages interaction and is always stimulating. Any child who has been read this book at my house soon gets their own copy! Enjoy.
