Summary: Fun! Fun! Fun!
Review: We love this book! It's lots of fun to read: good rhyming and cute imagery for little kids (very young ones). My daughter now recites it back to me! It encourages tooth-brushing, bath-taking and putting on pajamas.

Summary: My daughter loves this book
Review: My 15 month old daughter picks this book out every night for us to read, so now it has become a tradition for us to read it each night. I could recite the whole text from memory but we like to look at the pictures together. The poem is very sing-songy - just right for setting the tone for bedtime. I like the last page - "rock and rock and rock to sleep".

Summary: FABULOUS!
Review: My son loves this book and refuses to go to bed until we have done all the activites the book characters do...including HANGING TOWELS up and BRUSHING TEETH. This is a good one!!

Summary: Boynton is terrific
Review: This book, as virtually all of Sandra Boynton's books, is fun for kids and parents alike. Despite my kids insistence on reading thesame books over and over again I am happy to do it when it's a Sandra Boynton book in question. Lighthearted,delightful stuff.

Summary: Strange Bedtime Routine
Review: I really like this author's books. Moo Baa La La La is one of my daughter's favorites. However, I threw this one out. The idea of exercising AFTER bath is illogical to me and not a concept I want to promote with my child. Bath-time signals an end to vigorous activities and a time for calm restful activities. I really don't think she thought this one through well enough.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book was not what I expected. I thought I was buying something that would show a child going through the bedtime routine, from brushing teeth to reading a bedtime book. Instead what I got was a whimsical poem that features animals on a boat before bedtime. So, I was disappointed at first. However, I can honestly say that my son adores this book. He laughs all the way through it. And when we get to the last verse, "The moon is high, the sea is deep, they rock and rock and rock to sleep" my son always lies down in his crib and grabs his blankie. He knows that at the end of that verse it's time for his own bedtime. So, the book worked after all! It has eased the transition from wakefulness to sleep. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Sandra Boynton is a great author for young children
Review: I bought a lot of Sandra Boynton books for my daughter when she was one and she loved for me to read them over and over again to her. She loved how they had little rhymes and she liked the animals being used in the stories. She still to this day gets them out and looks at them and tries to read to herself. and she is almost four years old!

Summary: I wish I'd found this author sooner
Review: We gave this book to our son for his second birthday which was two days ago. He now has it memorized and is reciting it to me. He loves it because it follows a familiar routine: his bedtime ritual (except for the exercise, but he loves the silliness of that part). Even our three-and-a-half year old comes over when I read this. I also think the pictures really get his attention. Our two-year-old is even throwing in some motions (rocking, scrubbing) when I read it. I'm looking forward to Christmas when I can buy them some more of this author.

Summary: fun time for mommy and son
Review: I choosed Moo, Baa, Lalala! for my son when he is one. we started to share this book of animal sounds by mommy reading only. then my son started to laugh at all the funny funny sound and action that I did. now, he is one and a half year-old. he will crab the book, come to me ask me to read for him. his favourite page is "three singing pigs say, La-la-la!" and he is able to make the "quackkk, bow-how-- and the silent sign shhhhh at the end of the book." so, I am telling all my friends about this book. hope that all children will start to love book from here.

Summary: Going to bed.......
Review: The Going to Bed Book is the first Boynton book I ever purchased. I read it endlessly to my daughter when she was about 2 years old and got to the point where I could recite it from memory. Now that she's older, SHE can read it to ME! It's a very good book--complete with all the rituals that people do before going to bed (brushing teeth, etc.). Sandra Boynton has done a good job of bringing the bedtime rituals to a level that a small child (and a tired mommy) can appreciate. After reading it, you will be ready for bed yourself.
