4.0 out of 5 stars cute...a little scary December 5, 2012
By Ionia Martin TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
My little guys liked this rhyming poem book and the pictures were cute. The book was a little shorter than I thought it would be and I'm not sure about using the word mangled when describing children, but for the most part it was a fun and silly read. This book looked really good on the kindle fire and the kids wanted to read it a second time.

My 2 and a half year old loves this story. She asks me to read it to her everyday. When I am busy and can't, she will use the illustration to aid her with the rhyming predictive text! Certainly keeps her entertained!!

The Pile Up is simply a lot of fun. A lot of these Kindle picture books authors have taken the time to write the books and draw the illustrations but not to format the book... Read more

My 5--year-old and I enjoy rhyming books, and The Pile Up did not disappoint. While some of the rhymes were a little forced, we enjoyed it.
