    My 18 month old love this book! So simple, easily read and the language flows nicely. She loves the last bit that says, "But not the armadillo!" It makes her giggle every time. Dec 02, 2014

    I think we've read this book a million times. Therefore, I'm relatively neutral. Nov 24, 2013

  • ok, I love all Sandra Boynton, but this book is sad to me. I skip the last page about the Armadillo not included. I get it, but I don't think a baby will, and I don't like ending on a sad note. Nov 21, 2013
