I recently purchased this book for one of the toddlers in my pre-school class as a birthday gift. My son also loved this book when he was younger and he actually still pulls it out every once in a while at age 5. Lift the flap books are really great for child development and motor skills. We have several Karen Kats lift the flap books and the kids love being able to help lift the flaps as we read. I would recommend this book mainly for ages 1-3.
I bought this book for my son in anticipation for our trip to the beach. Karen Katz always has the most adorable illustrations and my son loves the flaps. I do have to use shipping tape to make it more secure, otherwise he'd be ripping them out. I did count the number of tentacles on the Octopus page and he has eight, so I think she took note of other feedback and made the correction. Overall we love her books, she has the most vivid colorful illustrations and we love them..
We LOVE Karen Katz at our house! Her books are fun, bright and colorful and I don't get (as) sick of reading them as I do with many other children's book. Our daughter has loved the lift-the-flap books since she turned one and they are usually the ones she pulls out for us to read at night. The only problem is she can be a little rough with the so some of the flaps have come off - tape or super glue work wonders. The construction of the books is great - she just plays with them SO much that it was only a matter of time before the flaps wore out.
Where Is Baby's Beach Ball is currently my son's favorite book. He's 17 months old and will bring it to me saying "bee ball!" We have many Karen Katz books that are great for interacting with your toddler. He has begun answering simple yes/no questions with the use of these books! As a mom first and Language Therapist second, I highly recommend Karen Katz!
My preschoolers loved this book when we talked about how to keep a beach ball in control. It facilitated a lot of discussion and of course we had to practice tossing a real beach ball which enhanced the story anyway!
Olivia loved this book until she was about 1-1/2. She read it a lot and learned lots of vocabulary from it. The flaps were pretty dog-eared by the time she had outgrown it. We also like Where Is Baby's Pumpkin.
Our daughter loves the Karen Katz books. This book follows the predictable storyline as the others in the "Where is Baby's ..." series with the lift the flap pages but brings a beach feel. We read this very often!
My nephew is obseessed with all things spherical! The hunt for the ball makes sense and the flaps are sturdy and manageable for toddler fingers- we've read it almost every night for weeks without having to repair it!
