Great for your budding bird lover, December 25, 2005
My 14 month old will barely sit through a book most of the time. We really like this one. All the things birds do--hop, peck, flap, etc.--are illustrated page by page. There are many ways to make this book interactive--several of the pages have holes (a bird house hole; a little hole pecked in the ground), and one page is cut along the bird's wing so you can flap it.

Loving it, August 2, 2005
I love this book. My daughter loves it especially for the little peep holes in it that she will look through. She just cracks up if I put my eye up to one to look at her through it. I recommend this book to anyone who has a child who loves birds or who wants to start a fasination in them.

EEEEK... A MOUSE!!! EEEK! A MOUSE! Clever Surprises and Excitement, September 22, 2006
This review is from: Run, Mouse, Run! (Reading Together) (Board book)
The excitement starts on the very first page of this board book with illustrated flaps (smaller pages illustrated on both sides) between each full size board book page.
"Hurry, mouse! Run..."
(Look to the right and there's a flap showing the mouse scampering over a chair)
"over the chair,"
(Turn the flap, and there's a two=page spread of the mouse climbing up a table)
"across the table,"
And so on. I wondered if the mouse was the chaser or the chasee. He runs down the table (Horacek conveys movement through the mouse's outstretched paws and limbs, and a big trailing tail), and into a box of cookies! On this spread, Horacek gets a 3-D effect through the cut-outs in the pictured box, revealing something almost black on the next page.
That "something" is the mouse's hole, again cut-out for a sensation of depth. Good thing, too, because when you turn the page, there's a BIG black cat with green eyes, and a hungry look, just outside the mouse hole. Through the cut-out mousehole, we now see the little mouse safely inside. IT's almost magical--on one page the mouse is outside his hole, and on the next the mouse is inside! Couple the special effects (i.e., the flaps, the cut-outs) with Horacek's simple but revealing sentences, bright colors and patterns, and familiar objects (cookies!) and you've got yourself a treat for your infant or young toddler!
