5.0 out of 5 stars My grand toddler's favorite book, April 29, 2008

This review is from: Old MacNoah Had an Ark (HarperBlessings) (Hardcover)

My granddaughter is 15 months old and loves Old MacDonald Had a Farm. After I bought Old McNoah for her, it quickly became her favorite book. She has a library of about 15 books (and growing!). When I ask her to get a book for me to read, she invariably gets Old McNoah. The pictures are eye catching and the sounds are even better. Whereas Old McDonald has a moo moo here and there, Old McNoah also has a bang bang (hammer), an oopsie daisey (the ark was crowded), a burp slurp (they had to eat) and a poo poo (they had to do other functions also!) in addition to the moos, quacks and oinks we have always heard. The pages are thick enough that a toddler can turn them without tearing them and it has provided hours of fun and education at my daughter's home.

This review is from: Old MacNoah Had an Ark (HarperBlessings) (Hardcover)

I have read many Noah's Ark books for children and this is by far the cutest. The words of the book can be sung to "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." The book's words teach about Noah building the ark, the different animals entering the ark--"With a Moo! Moo! here....," the animal activities on the ark, the rough water encountered on the ark--"With an Oopsie-Daisy! here...," and the animals return to land. The illustrations are as cute as the words. I highly recommed this book--kids will love it and parents will enjoy reading it.
