Very cute book!.......2007-09-17

This is a very cute book! I'm 8 months pregnant and my husband has been reading this book to my belly for the past few months. The baby already loves it but i'm sure she'll love it even more when she can hold daddy's hands with her own 10 little fingers!

Loves It.......2007-08-27

My little absolutely loves these books. I have to read one or more of the everyday.

Board Books.......2007-06-08

Ten Little Fingers by Annie Kubler is one of a series of books that is a perfect fit for very little ones. The rhythm and rhyme draws their attention and the illustrations are big blobs of color, sharply delineated from each other. You can start with an infant who is old enough to focus and they will be enthralled by the colors. The size of the book is good for holding open with one hand as you hold the baby in the other arm.

couold be better.......2007-06-01

This is a finger play for babies and toddlers. I bought it to have at home for when my granddaughters visit. The book is cute enough, but there is just not "enough" meat to this book to justify a whole book for one finger play. I do like that the musical notes are provided, so that I can play the song on the piano. Just wish there were a couple other songs/finger plays.

The shipping fee is about same as the book price itself. That will end up about double price of a children book.

This is a cute book, but my 10 month old daughter isn't that crazy about it. She has other books she likes much more.

Love Love Love!.......2007-08-09

I purchased this book for my son when he was 15 months old and he loves this book. He brings it to me to read to him over and over again. The illustrations are fun, he loves the song, and he knows all the body parts now. Many times I have seen him flipping through the book on his own "studying" the pictures. Given I don't usually pay to buy new books that cost more than a dollar or two, this one was definately worth it!

Buy "Where's My Belly Button" instead.......2007-06-13

This is merely a verbatim book version of the old playschool song "head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes . . " It could be made a bit more worthwhile if the art was engaging or dynamic in some way, but it's blah (think Precious Moments meets Charlie Brown) and does little to enhance a young childs perception of where to find his/her head, shoulders, knees . . well you get to idea.

Cute book! .......2007-09-11

My 16 month old twins LOVE this book!! It's definitly their favorite. They have the whole thing memorized and love to sing it even without the book! They also have "ten little fingers" and it's great too.

Loved it!.......2007-03-08

My 15 month old daughter loved the song "Row,Row,Row Your Boat" and so I thought I would get a book with the same title. I was delightfully surprised at the creative additional verses. It is now my daughters' favorite book!!

Great book!.......2007-02-07

Excellent book for toddlers. My 13 month old daughter loves to read this book. The illustrations are fun and nicely done. It is a classic and a great addition to her collection of books.

Definitely a favorite.......2007-01-19

As much as I did not like the extra made up verses in "If you're Happy", I love the extra verses in this book. My daughter's favorite.

Can't read this one often enough.......2007-01-15

My grandson (19 months) absolutely crows when he sees this one in Grammy's bag of books when I visit! He immediately brings it to me, plops himself into my lab and demands, "Row row!" This has been going on for at least 3 or 4 months and he shows no indication of becoming tired of it. Annie Kubler has really identified what babies love!

Customer Reviews:

My daughter loves this book!.......2007-09-12

Yes, it is a shorter version of the original, but its simple enough to keep her attention and she loves the rhyme of the text. She smiles every night when I pick up the book to read it to her. She just adores it!

Needs a little more text.........2007-04-05

This is a very cute book but... It ends very abruptly and is not quite long enough for my 1 and a half year old. She loves trying to count the fish on top, and trying to say the color names, but just a few more pages would have made this book a lot better.

Rhyming and funny.......2006-12-29

My toddler loves this one. The illustrations are short and crisp and just simple enough for my 18 month old. I am referring to the board book edition.

Baby likes it........2006-11-11

We really like having the fishes on the top of the book. It helps to count 1-5.

adorable.......2006-08-08

I had Dr. Seuss' books as a child and want my baby to enjoy them as much as I did. This nursery book is brightly colored, very sturdy and my 5-mo old keeps reaching for it. The plastic fish on the top make noise and baby loves to keep count with them. I'm very very happy with this purchase. I also reccomend other board books form this nursery collection.

Customer Reviews:

Family Favorite.......2006-09-09

I dont know who loves this book more, me or my son. He is so captivated by all of the exciting textures, flaps, fur, etc. We picked this book up on a whim, never imagining I would be looking for every other Dr. Seuss Nursery book to add to our collection. It captivates him nightly and I am so pleased that he truly enjoys reading it and hope his love for reading continues. Thank you Dr. Seuss Nursery!!

Seuss for Toddlers.......2006-06-02

My 17 month old LOVES this book! Most of the classic Dr. Seuss books are too long & wordy for her (and she really loves reading), so this is a great introduction to the silliness. Plus, this book is very interactive (pets have hair, drink pink ink, play games, etc.) Would definitely recommend it!

Book Description

Simple songs and rhymes are an excellent way to familiarize young children with another language. Un, Deux, Trois, a collection of 25 traditional nursery rhymes, is a delightful way to introduce French. An illustrated vocabulary features simple words and phrases that are easy to learn and that can be used in games or everyday life. Children are encouraged to repeat the phrases and sing along with the rhymes, and the included CD lets them know how both should sound. The lively illustrations and amusing rhymes make learning a new language fun. A guide for parents translates more difficult phrases.

Fun way to introduce French with sound & words.......2007-06-03

My one year old and I love listening to the CD that came with this book. Songs are sung by kids & adults. Each song has the words written out in the book too.

Fun French Rhymes.......2007-05-30

My 5 year old granddaughter and I had a delightful time repeating and reading along with this child's French Rhyme book and CD. By the end of it she could repeat 3 French words perfectly with a big grin on her face! She took the book out the following night for repeat reading and for dancing to the musique! :)

Not so great.......2007-05-26

The book is all french rhymes, riddles, a lot of nonsense and very difficult for young children. The CD is hard to listen to. I have it in the car for my daughters and it is too hard to follow.

If you want your kids to begin with french, the CD First Steps in French is wonderful. In a month my kids are singing in french.

C'est fantastique!.......2007-03-08

My one and a half year old enjoys this book and CD very much. It will be great when she gets older too because the rhymes are simple and they incorporate many things like numbers, body parts, days of the weeks etc...
I catch myself singing these songs throughout the day. It is a wonderful way to introduce French to your child. I highly recommend it.

A hit at our house!.......2007-02-13

We recently bought this and our boys (6y, 4y, and 2y) love it! It has lots of chanting which the boys love to repeat. The book is colorful and easy to follow along with. The current version came with a cd, not a cassette.

Customer Reviews:

Best of the series! Clear, easy signs & cute pictures.......2006-05-15

"Get your spider-fingers ready...!" (wiggle, wiggle)

That's how storytime begins with this book, which will encourage active participation even in babies who aren't signing.
Very cute pictures of babies and helpful captions for parents on the pictures of signs make this a series of books you will enjoy together again and again.

The series is slightly inconsistent in that this is the only book to feature a lovely REVIEW of signs used on the back page (maybe they had an extra page because the song is short?). I find the review very helpful, and it gives the baby another sing-along opportunity she always loves!

Recommended for ages 1-2 only, as it's a very basic song that older toddlers will probably not sit still for for long.

It'll be a good fun bedtime story for little ones, your children will love it. Reading and singing can be motivating to foreign students from 5 to 7, it can be used at a sleepover

Amazon Books rock!.......2006-04-09

Good book, great price! Even better than you can get in-store. My wife wanted this book for our baby's collection because she grew up with this book and she loved it as a child. This book gives children the pictures to go along with the related song, too.

Useless.......2006-03-16

This book is boring, doesn't teach the child anything new (might as well just sing the easy lyrics), and the illustrations are dull. Waste of money!

Daughter's Favorite Bedtime Story.......2006-01-30

This has become our daughter's favorite bedtime story. She's 3 1/2 and I wish that I had gotten the book earlier. She likes to read along with us, and has each monkey say "goodnight mama" in different voices. At first she wanted to jump on the bed as well but she didn't liked being called a silly monkey.

No more jumping on the bed.......2005-09-30

One of my daughter's favorite. Her playdates all like the book too. They like to say it with me. No more jumping on the bed.
I highly recomend because kids will see how the monkeys get hurt and cry with the booboos. Keila is 27 months old

"Hush little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to show you a hummingbird.
If that hummingbird should fly,
Mama's going to show you the evening sky."

Sylvia Long's award-winning (Child Magazine's Best of 1997) ode to mother-child love takes a favorite lullaby and makes it--is it possible?--even better. Troubled by the buy-buy-buy mentality of the original ("Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird/diamond ring/a dog named Rover..."), Long adapts the song to her--and our--liking. Mama now shows her baby the comforting wonders of the world: crickets, shooting stars, warm bedspreads. Long's gorgeous ink and watercolor paintings are reminiscent of Clement Hurd's illustrations in Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon. And now, with this gift set, fans of this sweet lullaby can have a "little baby" bunny all their own, along with a small board book edition of their sing-along favorite! The unbelievably soft plush rabbit rattle is curved into a shape and size just right for tiny hands. Wrap the cuddly pajama-clad bunny around a crib railing so your baby can always reach it. What a perfect gift for the new mother or mother-to-be! (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

Bedtime is a special ritual for parents and children. Lullabies often play an important role. This best-selling version of the beloved lullaby Hush Little Baby is now available in a sturdy board book making it perfect for sharing with the youngest children.

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful Illustrations.......2007-06-27

Really well drawn and written - nice updated version of the nursery rhyme. Its a wonderful story to sing and definitely a favourite bedtime book.

Good concept, but only OK..........2007-05-25

Good concept, but still very old-fashioned---I don't know anyone, let alone a mom, who plays a banjo!

"If that lighning bug won't glow, Mama's going to play on her old banjo."

I thought it was going to be more up-to-date. One the plus-side, the board book seems good and sturdy...

Wonderful book , great gift! .......2007-04-11

I love this book- it is a great gift for a new mommy- Its a classic song but the words are changed to not be so materialistic which is wonderful in this day and age! You also cant help sining along as you read it to your little one!

Sweet bedtimes story made new..........2007-01-02

My 2 yr old son loves this book. The story is a redo of the classic song set to a story. I like to sing it too him because it doesn't talk about buying him anything but rather spending time with him. He often asks for it before bed. I highly recommend it for anybody with a 0-4 yr old.

New text/Lyrics are wholesome. .......2006-12-19

I was looking to update the original lyrics and wanted some ideas, when a friend told me about this book. Although wholesome, the updated text alone doesn't work for my child; there are many more experiences that we can sing to the original tune, which make bedtime stories more tangible, interesting and educational. For instance, we live in the city. I can't show him a shooting star - if we're searching for one, it's WAY past his bedtime. I can however, sing about the snow, the market, or the playground, park and the ducks.

The original text has better imagery for him. Also, the active verbs, like "buy" or "give" or others we substitute, keep him more interested than some of the passive verbs that the author uses. Try creating your own rhymes if you're not a fan of the original or this treacle update.

The tune on which this is based is considered a folk song, and on that definition, the original is an expression of how life is at the time of it's use. I appreciate Sylvia Long's effort to update.

By the way, it is reported that Syliva Long was troubled by the buy-buy-buy mentality of the original verse. Perhaps if she looked at the second verse she may have found the non-materialism she writes about wanting.

"Hush little baby mama's near,
To wipe your brow and calm your fears.
To kiss your cheek and hold your hand,
'Til you drift off to sleepyland.
To help you count those little white sheep,
And sing you songs 'til you're asleep.
To tell you tales of kings and queens,
And Jack and Jill and wonderful things.
So snuggle up and hug me tight,
And dream sweet dreams all through the night.
And every night when the sun goes down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town."
