The authors, John Archambault and Bill Martin, Jr., and the illustrator, Ted Rand, are treasures. I'd encourage you to check out their other titles (Barn Dance and Hullabaloo ABC are favorites).

The rhythm of Up and Down on the Merry-Go-Round captures the excitement and happiness of a child on a merry-go-round ride, and is fun to read aloud. The brightly colored, detailed, and imaginitive depiction of an old-fashioned carousel are irresistible, both to me and my child.

I only wish this title were still available in hardcover. My two-year-old resists returning this book to the library, and requests it be read to him (often several times in a row) many times a week. I'm about to order a softcover copy, but I don't think it's likely to hold up to the use it will see. A must for every young merry-go-round lover.

My daughter loves this book! The illustrations are glorious and the rhythm of the book has made it easy for her to memorize-that and the fact that we read it at least once a day.....

This book was in a "storytelling kit" at our local library. My 2 1/2 yr old twin granddaughters loved it--had to read it at least 20 times. So--ordered them both one! It's their favorite.

This is a fun experience to read and let a toddler experience a Carousel ride when they identify and then adapt a fun Carousel ride.

We borrowed a copy of this from our city library and enjoyed it so i ordered this for my son. I would have preferred a hard cover because the book is wide and the cover is crumpled now. The story is very cute and made us smile =)
