My son is 3.5 and this is the first Charlie the Ranch Dog book I've bought. I picked this one because I am expecting and have picked a few books on babies in general so he understands more about how babies need special care. This has nothing to do with having baby siblings, of course, but my son loves it. He was especially captivated by the illustrations. Another reviewer mentioned there were pages without words and I think this was done for artistic license. I didn't find it disruptive. I point to each of the scenes on those pages and we talk about what is happening in those scenes. I will definitely check out more Charlie the Ranch Dog books in the future.
My grandkids (and I) love the Charlie books. This book was a disappointment. When I received it and read it I thought it was missing pages. The story didn't make much sense on the last couple of pages. I went to the bookstore to check and, yep, they're book was the same. I gave it to my granddaughter and when her dad read it the first time, he was also confused and went back through the book, certain there were pages missing.
The pre-schoolers that I shared this book with loved the story and being able to what happened on the pages without words themselves. They also loved finding the little chipmunk on each page. Then seeing the real Charlie, WOW! This was my first Charlie book and I'll be adding more to my book bag.
I am usually a fan of the "Charlie" books, but not this one and here's why. I got towards the end of the book, only to find two pages with no words. The previous page showed a fed-up Charlie howling at the calf, and then when the words pick up again, Charlie is being rewarded with attention and belly rubs! Sorry, that is NOT the message I want my child to get from this book - you make a fuss because you are upset and you get rewarded? I thought for sure that I missed something and that those two pages accidently didn't have words, because there had to be a better resolution on those two pages, but it appears not to be the case. I was hoping this would end more similarly to "Where's the Bacon?" Very disappointed with this book in the series.
Got this for the two big brothers of a new baby. I always get the big brothers/sisters gifts when I drop off baby gifts and this was perfect! Darling illustrations and the perfect story line for the occasion.
"Charlie and the New Baby" is just as remarkable as all the "Charlie" books before it. His antics and remarks keep the child's attention along with the fantastic illustrations! It's a book your child will ask to be read to them over and over. Along with that, there is a great recipe that is presented at the end of the book, which will let your child experience even more "Charlie" time! I just love this book and your child will too!
What a fun story and sweet book! Actually, my son suggested we buy it for our 2-year-old grandson. When I asked, "are you trying to tell us something," he responded, "No, he just likes Charlie and farm animals." So, when we were able to visit and give it to our grandson for his birthday, we were also surprised with the news of another grandbaby to arrive, which would be about ten months after we bought the book. So listen up, grandparent wannebe's: this book may be your answer. Ha, that's a joke, but we sure enjoyed the laughter it's brought. Oh, and thank-you, Ree Drummond, for another wonderful Charlie story!
I started my neighbors son out with the 1st Charlie the Ranch Dog for his first birthday. He absolutely loves Charlie! I have since bought all books (hardback) in the set. I'm saving this one to give him at Halloween or Christmas. They recently had a little girl so this will be perfect. The book came in mint condition and I looked through the book and he will love it! His parents tell me that have to read Charlie every night before he goes to bed.
