Amazon.com Review

Eureka! The team from television's Blue's Clues may have found a cure for the common messy room. In this sturdy board book, polka-dotted puppy Blue and her ever-perky human helper Steve play a clever game of hide-and-seek. Lurking under this façade of fun is the fact that this game can help improve concentration skills. Children memorize the toys that have erupted all over the colorful playroom floor (a scenario sure to strike a familiar chord), and when the lights go out, Blue puts one back into the basket. Now the reader must figure out which toy is missing. It's a game parents may even want to stage in their own homes, since it is enjoyable, challenging, and has a major added benefit--luring unsuspecting kids into cleaning up their rooms. (Baby to preschool)

4.0 out of 5 stars great book for kids who like blues clues and hide and seek, November 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lights On! Lights Off! (Blue's Clues) (Board book)

My son is two and he loves this book because it has Steve, Blue and a bunch of toys in it. It's interactive for kids because they have to turn the light "on and off" and find Blue in the dark and figure out which toy has been put away in the toy box. It helps kids find the missing toys as well as learn how to put away toys. Tanner usually asks to read it once a day!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Hit!, March 25, 2000

This review is from: Lights On! Lights Off! (Blue's Clues) (Board book)

I have a 20 month old who absolutley loves this book! She discoved the light switches some time ago and so she loves to see the effects in the book that back up her experiences! Of course, at her age we are using the book as a tool to increase her language by naming objects and colors. I also only ask her to find Blue hiding in the dark and not the missing toy as asked for in the narrative. This is what I love about these books - they capture her attention immediately with the characters and colors and they can "grow" with her. As she develops more sophisticated problem solving skills I can then start asking her to find the missing toy. If your child likes brightly colored pictures or the show itself, then put this on your book-buying list!

We own a few of these Blue's Clues books and my toddler loves them! He has one that's been worn ragged because it went everywhere with him and took a lot of abuse, that considered they hold up very well! Not a great read with all the wonderful children's books out there but my son just loves them and they're sturdy! I do recommend!
