Kids Go! Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Once upon a time there were two sleepy kids. Then they heard a distant sound, a beat that got louder and louder. They had to move their feet. They got up off the couch and started to move their legs. Then, with the help of a few unexpected friends, they learned how to move like a monkey, move like a jumping bean, move like a jack-in-the-box and go! go! GO! This very special book is both a story and a song. So watch the animated DVD, move like a monkey, and sing along! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This has become the GO to bedtime story for the kids (2 and 4) - they love it! The book is very simple and repetitive (in a good way for them). The DVD is short and the song matches the words in the book. They love the song and I try to match the tune when I read the book to them. The DVD video will play over and over in a loop so it is hard to stop it ("just one more time mommy!") without dissappointing them. There really is not much to the DVD; just the single song. Very happy with the purchase though as I have been with every TMBGs kids album.
There isn't as much to this package as there was to Bed, Bed, Bed, I admit -- just one book and one DVD, featuring one song with an animated video. But it's very charming. The song is, of course, ridiculously catchy and fun, and the book illustrates the lyrics in a wonderfully dynamic way, almost bringing the DVD to life on the pages. The drawings by Pascal Campion have a lively looseness that reminds me of the style of Roy McKie, one of my favorite children's illustrators. And of course, the lyrics are brilliant; we would expect no less of the two Johns.If you've never exposed your child to the joys of TMBG, I would start with Here Come the ABCs or Here Come The 123s. If your kids are already fans, this will be a great addition to your collection. But with lyrics like "If you're still not standing up, then get up now and go, go, go, GO, GO!", make sure you don't read it at bedtime!
We have all the TMBG albums (i.e. 123's, ABC's, Science, No!, and Bed) and they are all AWESOME, with great songs and great DVD animation to go along with the songs. But this book is super LAME. "Stand up, jump like a monkey, jump like a jumping bean"...that is the entire song. Every pages of the book is just a repeat of this. I am very disappointed that TMBG would put their name to something that is so simple...what a rip-off. Better to stick with the "Here Comes..." DVDs and skip this one.
I bought this for the DVD more than the book. There's only one song on it, but it's so catchy and the animation is so captivating that my kids watch it in the car. I must confess, we are a family of TMBG fans.
Not sure why this isn't simply produced as a DVD.The book doesn't read well. When my partner first brought it home, I looked through the book and thought, "it has no story, no lyrics. Lame". But the video is extremely catchy and seems well-geared towards younger babies. Not sure that was the intention, but that's how it worked for us. Our wee 5-mo. old babe would near pee her pants watching it. HA. Could NOT stop laughing and giggling and knew the book cover by sight. If she heard the music, she would immediately stop what she was doing and look for the video screen. Don't think it's engaging enough for the toddler set , but certainly was entertaining earlier on when moving shapes and a memorable but short refrain of music were sufficient. Much more fun than listening to "row row your boat" from a wind up toy. Liked that it has an auto loop.I'd probably give it a 3 at best myself, but being that my kid loved both the book and video so much, and was of course the intended audience, as her proxy I'd give it 5-star, minus 1-star for a book I felt didn't bring much additional value to the DVD.
This is a great DVD book combo! My daughter didn't need any help following the song's directions, she immediately started to Go! Go! Go!Anyone with young kids knows that they NEED to get up and run/jump. This is a good way to direct the extra energy without too much chaos.I found this at a sale price, but I would have paid more--even if it is only 1 song. Don't buy this expecting a full DVD, though it does run on a loop so be prepared to stop it when you've had enough of your child jumping around.If you enjoy They Might Be Giants then buy this book!
Bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter as she loves her They Might Be Giants DVD's. This was well worth it, she loves jumping to the music and taking "dance breaks". She especially likes grandma to get up off the lazy couch and "essersize" with her!
Great book for younger children. This is a book of activity based content. As always, TMBG delivers - you will not be disappointed (and nether will the children).
