4.0 out of 5 stars A Gentle Good-night, November 30, 2008

This review is from: Baby Animals (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)

Baby Animals is a lovely, simple book, and a much faster read than many Golden Books, which is great if you're up to your fourth book of the night and just want to get them to bed. Each animal's personality it expressed in a short passage, and it ends with the classic night animal - the Owl. A favoutite of my four-year-old's for 2 years now.

5.0 out of 5 stars A baby book BARGAIN! Excellent illustrations!, July 24, 2006

This review is from: Baby Animals (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)

In a nutshell, this is a baby book bargain, considering what you get. Fantastic, large sized illustrations that will hold baby's attention, and the price is inexpensive compared to most other baby books. Frankly, my wife and I have spend 5 times what this book costs on other books, and our 11 month old prefers this one! Kudos to Random House/Golden Books for these well illustrated, affordable books.

I recently purchased this book for a friend's grandkids because it was such a favorite in our house as my kids were at that age. They loved the pictures and the text is still in their heads a dozen years later! I hope when my grandkids come along I can read it to them.
