Awesome Story - But Not A Traditional Hard Cover
This story is brilliant. We have it in paperback and my boys love it. So, I wanted to purchase as a gift. I ordered this book from this seller thinking it would be a traditional hard cover. Instead it's more like red cardboard wrapped in a sticker. Because of that, I didn't feel like it was nice enough to give as a baby shower gift. Was not what I was expecting. I also wasn't a fan of the little feelings bubbles throughout. I felt like it took away from the story.

This book is an absolute delight to read. We purchased this book for my soon 10 years ago when he was 4 years old and read it to him almost every night, then one day he started reading it all by himself out load. My husband couldn't believe it. Now 10 years later with a 10 month old and 8 months pregnant, I just had to buy it again. My family and I love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars ) can't find her favorite book! So
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2015

This is a cute, clever picture book. The main character (who I think is a cat?) can't find her favorite book! So, she imagines all sorts of terrible things - a dinosaur stomping it or a bear eating it. When she finds it again, her rejoicing is hilarious. This is a perfect book to read young kids (5 and below). A few pages with no words give a perfect opportunity for young imaginations to narrate. The illustrations are well-done, simple and yet, sophisticated. I got a few chuckles from this book and will hold it ready should I have kids. Highly recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute book... don't love the commentary
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2019
Verified Purchase
We love this book so much that we bought a second copy as it tells the story with pictures. However, I don't love the commentary in this version where it's giving instructions for how to discuss it. I suppose it could be helpful, but for a kiddo that's always curious about "what does this say", it took away from the fun of the story for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars We LOVED This book!
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2009
Verified Purchase
Our children and us loved this book. The pictures were great for developing observation skills. Then the words were enough that the children have basically memorized what is to happen word per word! (with picture help of course!) My children are 4 & 3. We first took notice of this book in the doctors office and just had to buy it. Worth the investment.

Cute story and illustration. But the book came in pretty bad condition. It looked like a used one.
