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!

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!

My 11-month-old son loses patience with this book. He's not really old enough to figure out which toy Blue has put away from page to page, so he usually loses interest after about 4 pages, because the pictures are kind of repetitive. This might be better for an older toddler.

Ok, we all know toddlers just love blue. But this book isn't well written. My two yr old tires of them easily, and she loves books. So, its says alot when she is sick of something, as well as myself. Don't get me wrong, if it takes a favorite character as an incentive to read, buy this book. If you want a book to enjoy for years to come, a book that will last in memory, buy another book.

Maybe my son is just too young to understand the book, but the only thing he likes about the book is that when he touches the light switch the pages turn. As for naming the toys and noticing where they are, he has no interest. Of course, he is only 18 months old. I think that part of the problem is that every page looks alike, with only one toy out of place. The changes are not really obvious, so to him the book is boring. Blue is his favorite character and I am sure he will continue to look at the book. It's just not one of his favorites.
