This is the third time I have purchased this book (for different families). I give it when the child is around two and it is a book that they can grow into. It does not follow the song. And that is a good thing. It teaches the kids to "roar", "scratch" and do all sorts of things that are fun while learning about animals. And they grow into it...because there's different things; words, sounds and pictures that they begin to see as they develop. The illustrations by James Warhola are fantastic. And I have since purchased two other books written and illustrated by him.
We first got this book from the library for our 22 month old and she and we loved it so we purchased our own copy. It's definitely a book that grows with the child as the concept and illustrations work together very creatively. Each time we read this, we see new ideas and links between the pages.
We took this book out of the library about 3 months ago for the first time and my son, 15 months at the time absolutly adored it. Now, he has loved to be read to since he was 12 months - will sit for 20-30 minutes at a time with book after book-my older two children never did that this early-but he still, after 3 months loves this book.It was retuned to the library but we took it out again and have just been renewing it-I think it's time to buy our own copy.He will get this book from the bottom of a pile (I know, I've put it there, lol) He just loves to follow along with the actions, and the pictues are so engaging - all the time, he points to the next animal that is 'coming alive' for the next pageUPDATE - 1/24/11 Reordering this book - they wore it out, it never seemed to grow old, and no that our youngest daughter is 16 months and loves to read as much as her older brother, it will again be well loved.
This was purchased used but description said it was in good condition... We got it today and the book had been chewed up. I guess I could have figured that a used board book would be that way, but the condition warrants less than a "good" description.
I have 2 year old children and have sung "If you're happy and know it" far too many times to count. This picture book was introduced to me in a children's library reading group and my kids totally fell for it. The pictures are great. What is also nice is that if I don't feel like singing, we can just flip through the pages and I can ask my kids questions about animals, sounds, body parts, etc., and they're still engaged.
My little one really loves this book! I checked it out from the library, and my daughter insists on reading it over and over, several times a day! Her favorite page is "If you're happy and you know it, crawl around." I have been trying to find a good children's book that encourages gross motor skills while still being familiar to children (from the song), and this is it! It's going on my wishlist!
If You're Happy and You know it by Jane CabraeaAudio book but I'm pretty sure the colorful pictures go along with what the people are doing in the pictures.Children's book about a monkey elephant and a giraffe. Remember playing this song with my grandsonas we did different things. Some silliness and laughter for all.I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
I'm giving this a five star only because my 22mo old son loves the book to death. He likes to do the motions along with the book to the great amusement of his parents. He also really likes to point out wherever the snake appears in each panel.This goes without saying but as a bed time book it could get your kids excited or it could help tire them out. I guess that depends on the kid though.
