4.0 out of 5 stars The first story your child will be able to understand, June 25, 2000

This review is from: Big Dog and Little Dog: Big Dog and Little Dog Board Books (Board book)

I have a real fondness for this book, because it's the first story my son was able to understand. It's about two dogs, Big Dog and Little Dog. They become hungry, eat, and then curl up together to go to sleep. It's a very simple story, with very simple pictures, told in very simple language: "Big Dog is hungry...Little Dog is hungry, too...Big Dog is sleepy...." And therein lies its magic. It's so darn simple that a baby can understand it. My son was not quite one when I started reading it to him. I remember being so excited at the prospect of a real story after all those months of "naming" books. And when I realized he understood what was going on, it was heaven. Now my son is two and a half and has moved on, so to speak. (The book is probably best enjoyed by the under-two crowd.) But this book has become one of my standard baby gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Baby Book Ever, October 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Dog and Little Dog: Big Dog and Little Dog Board Books (Board book)

This is a sweet, simple book with little details babies love. We look at Little Dog's sweater, Big Dog's collar and tongue, the owner's boots and coffee. It has a slightly unexpected ending that makes my 18 month old laugh every time we read the book, which is about 18 times a day. I just mention the title and my little one giggles. I've bought the whole series now, and we're not disappointed.

This book is amazing! We checked it out from the library and it quickly became our favorite book so ordered it for my 18 month old for Christmas. She loves it and we read it before every nap and bedtime. Our 4 year old loves it too and will soon be reading it herself as the print is short and simple. Definitely recommend.
