I have this book in the small board book size and now the lapboard size. The small book is great; however, the small size pictures fail to keep my daughter's interest. This large lap-size boardbook is a perfect combination between the durability of a board book with the large size of a picture book. Love it! It is too bad I ordered this as a baby shower gift because now I will have to order another one for myself. =)

This is one of the best early children's books. The illustrations are fantastic, and the words are fun to say aloud. The rhyming pattern is reminiscent of Seuss, and teaches phonological awareness in the same fun way. My son laughed and laughed at the sheep; and every child I've subsequently gifted with the book has loved it just as much.

This review is from: Sheep in a Jeep Lap-Sized Board Book (Board book)

This book is a favorite with our two year old son. And its short and sweet enough that I don't mind reading it every night like he wants to. It never gets old to him--he actually anticipates reaching the page where the jeep lands in the mud. Great memories to build.
