This is a wonderful book, and not just for very little children. As a reading specialist in an elementary school, I have found that children in all the primary grades love to search for Spot with his mother. Children have the fun of lifting the various doors, lids, etc. trying to find Spot, while parents can encourage prediction of just where the little guy will be found. I have seen children request this and other books in the series over and over again. I'm buying it for my first grandchild - high praise from me.

This was the first book my son read from cover to cover! He loved the hidden animals under the bed, in the closet, etc. Would crack up when my husband and I would make the animal noises when he'd lift the cover. You won't regret buying this favorite!

This is one of my daughter's favorites. The flaps are very durable (unlike some of her other books). Looking forward to purchasing another Spot book soon because my daughter enjoys it so much.

This ia a fun, sweet book and my toddler son loves it! We enjoy reading it to him, too (over and over and over...) The text is simple enough for him to follow along, and he loves lifting the flaps and saying "no" each time it isn't Spot and then "yay!" when it is. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a toddler.

my son loves to open the flaps and name the animals that are behind the doors. only problem is he is getting strong enough to rip them off.

My 2-year old son Connor received Where's Spot for Christmas (thanks, Aunt Judy!) and it was love at first sight. I didn't think anything would be able to knock One Naked Baby from atop his "most requested" list, but this charming little book did the trick.

The book focuses on mama dog Sally's search for her wayward pup Spot, who is late for supper. Each page finds Sally in a different part of the house, and contains a lift-up flap that hides a different animal. The text is kept to a minimum (usually it's just "Is he under the bed, etc.?" followed by "No"), but it has a rhythm that really drew my son's interest and had him eagerly turning pages in the hopes of eventually finding Spot. The illustrations add to the book's charm. There are plenty of bright colors and the animals are just irresistible. I'm a confirmed cynic, but even I can't help but grin when Sally and Spot finally settle down for their dinner. My son's enthusiastic "Good boy, Spot" only makes that smile wider.

As simple as the book may seem, it does include plenty of learning opportunities, from identifying the various animals and colors to the household items and shapes. The repeated use of the word "No" also provides a simple example of how letters are combined to make a word.

This fun little book gets my highest recommendation, and more importantly it get's Connor's "Again, again!" seal of approval. It's a great addition to any toddler's library, and would make a great baby shower gift as well.

This book, along with other Spot titles, continue to engage children over and over. Five and six year olds eagerly anticipate the opening of each flap and are overjoyed when they can "guess" the hidden object! What a great start for a child to enjoy reading!

My son, who is hard of hearing and is learning to speak, loves to read this book with me. It has taught him to differentiate prepositions like "inside" and "under". I often will read a page (i.e. Is Spot in the closet?) and he will respond by saying "No, the snake is in the closet." Wonderful for any child learning to speak.

"Where's Spot" has great, brightly-colored and simple pictures. You can help really young children learn animal sounds, name animals and label items, learn colors, all while help Spot's mommy to find spot.

This book was suggested to me by a sales assistant in a bookstore and was she ever right!

This is a book my 21-month old 'reads' (either with me or on his own) again and again, and he laughs the whole way through it every time!

He's memorized which animal is in each hiding place and can just about recite the entire book without lifting the flaps, and enjoys it even more when I make the animal sounds to go with the pictures!

I've bought copies for my friends' babies, and we now have copies at each of the grandparents' houses as well!
