All around the animal world, the animals are going to bed. One by one. Every other page is a "blanket" which, when turned, tucks the animal in for the night. What a clever idea!I like the coordinating colors and the baby animals going to bed. The funny part for me was that the night I chose to read this to my 4-year old, she had fallen asleep already! LOL. But, my 6-year old Lulu pretended to fall asleep in her place. Instead, we read it together, and since the words are repetitive, it made it easy for her to read most of the story to me. So, while she's not part of the target audience's demographic (ages 18 months to 4 years old), she is learning to read so the fact that the words were readable (is that a word?) by her was awesome for us.Reviewed for Arms of a Sister
This is an interactive book-you read a sentence, your child covers the animal with the colorful blanket:)Every other page is a half page or "a blanket", the pictures are funny, clear and bright! The story is simple. -who needs to be tucked in? -I do says pig/zebra/etc. -good night... -who else needs to be tucked in/ maybe you? -good night! Though it's simple the child enjoys covering animals! Perfect bedtime book! And large enough 8x12 I guess. Keep in mind that the pages are not sturdy, it's not a board book. They are as thick as I would say a magazine's cover.
We read this one a lot! My two year old son loves to turn the blanket pages to tuck in the animals and he loves to repeat the goodnight to each animal after I do. This is such a simple book but a really fun one. Highly recommend.
This book is a bedtime favorite.Repetitive: It's repetitive in a way that encourages "reading" for non-readers.Interactive: The "blankets" on every other page are half the size of the opposite pages. The result is an uncovered animal in bed gets tucked in by a blanket that covers its body but not its face.Visually appealing: The prints on the blankets are cute and resemble designs you would see in scrapbook paper.Durable: The paper used is thick and high quality.
Each page is a special good night; little ones want to see the pictures so they readily jump in bed. As we turn the page the covers get a little higher. A fun book for 2 year olds.
In addition to giving it to my own kids, I've given this book as a gift about 8-10 times now, and all the parents keep coming back to me to say it is their kids' favorite. The pre-reading kids love the fact that they feel like they're reading the book themselves (and they probably are learning to read through its simple words & repetition). The older siblings love the fact that they can read it to the youngers. I love it because it has the feel of a quality book - not cheap. It's interactive without those annoying pull-tabs that inevitably rip off. The pics are great, the kids learn some new animals, and it's the perfect length for a bedtime book. Move over, Good Night Moon. This is it!
My grandson simply lights up with excitement and laughter when this book is read to him. He wants to hear it read to him over and over again. He is starting to memorize it by heart. It is a must buy book for children. Buy it today! Your child will love it!
I bought 4 copies of this book to give my grandchildren, ages newborn to 4 yrs. I love "Tuck Me In" because it is eye-catching, interactive, and quick and easy to read, thus lending itself to reading-readiness. The pages are sturdy enough that little hands can turn them without fear of tearing. The book is a good bed-time story, as each animal prepares to go to sleep, and invites the reader (or listener) to do the same. It's the perfect gift to tuck inside a hand-made quilt from Grandma.
