Our 1-1/2 yr. old son laughs in delight as each flap is opened. We shout the words together as he identifies each hidden animal. It amazed us the first night when he wanted to read the book again and again. Where's Spot has turned into a sharing and learning experience between us and our child.

This is a great book for preschoolers. My son, who's 3, loves lifting the flaps and knows most of the books by heart. The bright colors and simple language keep younger children interested to the very end. I highly recommend this and all of Eric Hill's other Spot books!

I didn't realize this was miniature edition. It is too smalland the flaps are too flimsy. ... I still would like a largeredition.

My two-month-old daughter got this book for Christmas. I thought she was too young for it. Boy, was I wrong! It is her absolute favorite!! Now at nine months old, she is lifting all the flaps and turning the pages. She gets so excited when I open this book. I cannot recommend it enough. The pictures are bright, the words repetitious, and the flaps sturdy -- a perfect combination for babies and toddlers! From now on, this is the book I am going to buy whenever I need to buy a baby or toddler gift. No one will be disappointed with Where's Spot!

My 2 year old loves Spot, but this book is very small compared to the other Spot books he has. He likes the big books a lot better, but the small one is great for keeping stashed in the diaper bag, and for car seat or stroller entertainment. We keep ours permanently stashed there since my son won't play with this book at all when there are bigger Spot books around.

Where's the Book!!?? My eight month old daughter can't get enough of Where's Spot? We usually don't go more than a few hours before she "looks for the book" so we can read it AGAIN. Therefore, where IS the book is my husband's and my common question. The colors are bright, fun and great! The book makes her interact so she wants to turn the pages. Spot, the puppy, is "missing" and the child must lift up portions of the page to see if Spot is under there. It is a delightful book!

I'm on my second copy of this book, having worn out the first. I use it in speech therapy with language delayed children. It teaches turn taking, naming, prepositions and sentence structure. I add my own words. "Is he behind the door?", "... under the bed?", etc. and the children love it. They all request "Pot". They just can't say the "s".

This sturdy little book has gotten much use at our house. It became my daughter's favorite "lift-the-flap" book. The drawing style and gentle story engage children to participate in the search for little Spot the dog. Perfect for 1-3 year olds. All of Eric Hill's Spot Books are cool but this one is a real favorite. Enjoy!

I think Where's Spot? is a wonderful book for young children. The flaps make it very interesting. Children will enjoy trying to find Spot while reading.

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.
