PW called this rhyming story about 10 friendly animal characters "a childlike charmer." Ages 4-8. (May)

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1?Bond may be best known for illustrating Laura Numeroff's If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (HarperCollins, 1985), but this book is certainly a sign that her talent didn't end there. The plot of the charming counting book runs along cumulative lines as a bug goes for a walk and meets up with a cat, followed by a crocodile, a bee, a pig, a toad, and, finally, a mouse. The creatures' various adventures are described in lighthearted rhyme; they wander into a house and meet a spider, a bear, and, finally, a young boy. The tone throughout the bouncy text is cheerful and lively. The cartoon drawings are bright and fun, complementing the writing nicely. A sure bet for story hours.?Melissa Hudak, North Suburban District Library, Roscoe, IL

TUMBLE BUMBLE is an awesomely fun book. We have a board book printing, which seems to be currently unavailable new. My 14 month old has been asking us to read it over and over for 2 months now, and none of us is tired of it. The singsong rhyme feels natural and unforced. The pictures and story are charming without being sticky sweet. This is a great early story book -- enough story to keep parents happy but never too much text on one page. My baby is getting interested in the growing parade of animals and calls out the name of his favorite ("beeeeeeee!") when we meet it, and then finds the bee again on each page. There's a chance to name things (9 animals + a boy) and to count things.
The age recommendation on this book says "4-8." IGNORE THAT and buy TUMBLE BUMBLE much, much earlier. At our house, the 14 month old and a 2 1/2 year old both enjoy TUMBLE BUMBLE.

We came upon Tumble Bumble because we loved "If you give a Pig a Pancake" and the other books by the same author. The animals look like ones we would like to be friends with! My daughter loves the picture at the end of the book with all the animals in bed together and the spider coming to join them. Such a happy book. GREAT book as a gift in board book style for little hands. Love it!

My 2 Year Old and I love this book. He get's to complete the rhyming sentences for me. It's becoming one of the his favorite stories to hear even without the book. The rhymes are catchy and the animals are very cute. I'm not sure why the Editorial reviews rate this for 3-5 year olds. It's definitely great for the younger ones. I didn't realize until reading another review that this is the same author as "If you give a Moose a Muffin." The author has a way of engaging children - she's wonderful!
