5.0 out of 5 stars Doggone funny! You'll want a book to give and one to keep, December 13, 1999

This review is from: The Twelve Dogs of Christmas (Hardcover)

When I passed by this book on display at the store I thought, how cute, so I bought it for my mom who is an absolute dog lover. We listened to the CD before we were going to ship it to her. Well my 3 kids and I were roaring with laughter, and we liked it so much that we are keeping her copy. So here I am at amazon to buy her another book and 2-day it to her so she won't have to wait to start enjoying it. The book is well done and the song is upbeat and easy to enjoy. There is nothing nicer to the ear then kids singing. You won't be disappointed with this book even if you don't like dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Proud Father, December 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Twelve Dogs of Christmas (Hardcover)

My review of this book is somewhat prejudice since I am the proud father of the author. Of course I love the book. It has sold over 100,000 copies. The important thing is that it give so much pleasure to everyone who reads it (both adults and children) and has helped many kids to learn and enjoy reading. Emma wrote the book on the back of a paper place mat at a Christmas lunch two years ago and who would have dreamed it would turn out this way. She is now 9 years old and the leading fund raiser among 2 million kids who collect for the American Heart Association. She's also the number one scorer on her 5th grade basketball team (she's tall).Of course I'm proud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift!, October 29, 2002

By 

homeschooler (Indianapolis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Twelve Dogs of Christmas (Hardcover)

A friend bought this book (which comes with a CD) last Christmas for my daughters (then 2 1/2 yrs and 1 yr). They absolutely love this book! They both sing along to this catchy and humorous version of the 12 Days of Christmas and laugh every time at the surprise ending. I recommend this book highly and am purchasing it for gifts this year. Warning: Be prepared to read it throughout the year! This makes an enjoyable gift for dog lovers of any age!
