5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best board books ever!, August 14, 2002

This review is from: Oscar Otter Board Book (Board book)

We purchased Maurice Pledger board books (Oscar Otter, Olive Owl and Billy Bunny) for our child at 6 months and at 2 years old they are still favorites. Here are just some of what we love about them. The illustrations are spectacular. They accurately represent the wildlife being depicted. There is a great variety of textures to appeal to a child's desire to touch and feel. Our child's favorite page is the "sticky" plant in Olivia Owl. They encourage interaction with questions like "How many shiny beetles has he found on the rose bush?" (from Billy Bunny) and requests like "Tickle her orange tummy." (from Oscar Otter). They are oversized for board books (approx. 9x11 inches), which our child loves. They give children nice big pictures to look at.

This is an entertaining book that we have enjoyed sharing with our 7 mo. old baby. She especially looks forward to the last page because of all the pop ups. Be careful not to put used baby wipes too close to the book, you may end up having to order another. A humble Dad!

This review is from: An Adventure With Oscar Otter (A Peek & Find Book) (Hardcover)

I purchased this book for my youngest because when her sister was younger it was one of her favorite books. I was so excited to find it and when the seller, Jenson Online Inc, stated that the books condition was "used- very good", I jumped on the chance to buy it.
I just opened the package this evening to read the book to my daughter and was SO disappointed to find that 4 out of the 6 flaps were damaged or completely missing. You can't even read this book to a child with so much of the story missing. The first flap, the lizard is damaged, second flap the water vole is completely ripped out, third flap is in good condition, fourth flap the beaver is ripped out, fifth flap is fine, sixth flap is missing all together and the very last page where the goldfish are suppose to pop out at you, not even there. Ripped out all together. VERY disappointed and would caution anyone to buy from this seller or any books used here on amazon since "very good" condition obviously means very different things to different people.
