By combining this simple pleasure with a character the child already know well from television, you have a winner.
What I liked best about this book was how exactly right they got it. Sometimes the creators work too hard to offer up different textures, which leads to a sort of gymnastics to make the plot work out with the story. This flowed together naturally making this book the perfect addition to your child's library if they're an Angelina fan or even just simply like ballet. Very nicely done....more

You have the cutouts to peer through, lots of things to look at on the pages (which gives the person reading time to slow down and ask the child to point at things) and has a fun bouncy rhyme to it. The ending is a pleasant surprise.
I'm not a huge Barney fan, but we went through these years with the kids, and honestly this was a reminder of the things I liked best about the show....more

And for once a board book where you can feel things that don't involve animals. This would have appealed to my boys so much when they were younger. Definitely recommended. This series is wonderful! And holds up really well - very very durable books....more

My inner child did a little squee of delight with this book. Often the 'touchy-feely' kinds of books just have pictures without any kind of a story. HMy inner child did a little squee of delight with this book. Often the 'touchy-feely' kinds of books just have pictures without any kind of a story. Here there's a gentle storyline to guide you through the book as you go looking for the 'correct' duck. So you wind up with a quest, a chance to touch different textures, bright colors, and just enough words to be reading. Overall a delight and a book I'd highly recommend with your little one....more

I liked the outcome with the lovely spooky overtones that build and build as the story progresses. For a board book this is meatier than any I've really seen before, leaving me impressed and thinking how nice it would be to read to a very young child something like this which is a pleasure to hold and allow them to turn the pages and play with....more
Never have I been more delighted with a board book...
Never did I ever think I would pen those words!

Never did I ever think I would pen those words!
Seriously, I was very iffy on the whole concept. How in the world do you create such a thing - to take a classic and reduce it to a counting book, a handful of words, and fairly simplistic art. I was surprised, I was amazed, and I cannot wait to look at other books in this series. It's wonderful and if you love Jane Eyre, then I can't recommend this enough....more
