5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Read! (Borders Book W/ CD-Rom Version), January 3, 2009

This review is from: Do You Didgeridoo (Board book)

This is a wonderful book! My 4-year-old loves this one. The illustrations are what first drew me to this book. They are silly and zany, yet still very well done!

The main character is looking for a musical instrument called a "didgeridoo." So, he goes into a musical instrument shop, and goes on and on and on about how happy he would be if he had a didgeridoo; where he would play it, who he would play it for, who he would play it with, etc. This one ends with a surprise twist at the end! Very cute!

I got mine from Borders; it came with a CD-Rom. (The sticker on the front of the book says that the CD-Rom is a Borders exclusive.) The only drawback is that I can't get it to play in just a regular CD player, like the one in my car. (If anyone has a remedy for this, I'd love to know about it. I'm not the most computer savvy person in the world.)

Anyway, the CD-Rom comes with two readings: one with page-turning signals, and one without. The story on the CD-Rom is read by Jonathan Rhodes, who does a wonderful job. They also throw in some musical notes so that the reader can get an idea of just what on earth a didgeridoo sounds like! Great audio! Lastly, the CD-Rom comes with an option to print black-and-white pictures of the characters in the music shop that you and your little ones can color together.

5 stars for this one, any day!

This review is from: Do You Didgeridoo (Board book)

We love Do You Do a Dideridoo? By Nick Page. It's one that has a repetitive theme and my 18-month old knows when to chime in with "No, we didgeri-don't!".

This book was a gift. Such a welcome suprise. My three year old son loved the silly story. Full of rhyming and original characters. My favorite part was the illustrations. I was very impressed by the vibrant colors and unique details found on every single page. Very original.
