Belly Button Book (Boynton On Board) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Featuring a beachful of bare-bellied hippos—including one tiny baby who can only say “Bee Bo”—the Belly Button Book is a quirky addition to the phenomenally successful Boynton on Board series. Every page captivates with Sandra Boynton’s inimitable illustrations and joyful rhyming text:Soon after dark, upon the beach, we sing a hippo song, and if you’re feeling in the mood, we hope you’ll sing along: “Belly Belly Button, you’re oh so fine. Ooo, Belly Button, I’m so happy you’re mine.” Shiny and sturdy, and featuring a great (navel-shaped, naturally) die-cut cover, the Belly Button Book provides enduring, giggly, read-aloud fun.

My 20 month old has an obsession with her belly button, if she can lift her shirt she is constantly playing with it. If she has on a bodysuit that covers it she tries to play with it through her shirt. She also loves to pull up other peoples shirts to find theirs. She also loves Sandra Boyton books, we read "Pajama Time" and "Barnyard Dance" about 5 times a day or more. So when I saw this new book from Boyton I knew she would love it!I think this is one of Boyton's better books. The illustrations are always adorable but the text in this one is top notch. Its a very cute story of hippo's and how they love their bee bo's, belly button for hippo's. They go to the beach to show off their bee bo's, sing a song about them and praise and love them.The fun rhyme of the text help hold my toddlers attention, not to mention the subject matter.I would highly reccomend this book to any hippo, belly button or Sandra Boyton fan's. You wont be dissapointed.
The product information for this book says "ages 4-8." I would guess that kids that age would enjoy it, but it is definitely written for little kids to have read to them by parents, who will love it just as much. It's a board book, so the youngest in your family can chew on it to their heart's content. It's cute. It's funny. It contains puns adults will get without making the kids feel left out. It has a nice rhythm and rhyme. It's just generally a great deal of fun!!!!
Sandra Boynton has, for many years, written books that my child and many others I know hold as their favorites. With this latest, spun from Philadelphia Chickens, she's created another one that both parents and children will love.Featuring a bunch of hippos playing on the beach, the song is an homage to our belly buttons. Knowing the fascination that so many kids have with their navel, this one is sure to please. The hippo illustrations are exactly what you'd expect from Boynton, and the rhymes are silly fun. And anyone who reads this one will especially enjoy the hippo baby who can only say, "Bee-bo," when referring to their belly button.Boynton seems to have an amazing understanding and perception of exactly what young children will enjoy in a board book. This is another winner, to add to an already extensive list of impressive works.
This one of the only SB books we were missing and it is by far one the best! I love it and my 20-month old son loves it too! It nice to have with the SB song book (philadelphia chicken) and CD, now we know the tune of th hipo song :o). But Snuggle Puppy is the best SB book and my son requests it all the time (as well as the song on the CD).
It hurts to give this book a low rating, but this book doesn't flow like all her other books. It's choppy and doesn't rhyme very much.I can read all her other books and the words just flow from the pages, but not this one.Don't let this dissuade you from getting any of Sandra Boynton's other books, though. They are all amazing!
My son picked this book out at our last trip to the library. That was over three weeks ago. Since then, he has insisted on us reading it at least once every day and gets quite upset when I try to suggest another book. Sometimes we read it twice in a row! Obviously, before this book is returned to the library we will have to purchase our own copy. My son has two favorite parts to this book: The first is when the hippopotomus is explaining what "bee bo" means (BELLY BUTTON!!!); my son breaks out in a huge grin there. The second is for the belly button song. I'm not sure what the tune to the song is so we just made something up but there's no avoiding having to sing the song repeatedly. My son won't let me turn the page until I've sung several rounds. This was a surprise hit for us and I highly recommend it for anyone in this age group.
My son who is 18 months just adores this book! Everytime I say Bee bo he just laughs and laughs. And he always dances when I sing the song. It is such a sweet book and it's great for teaching body parts and having fun while you read to your child.
I don't know how Sandra Boyton does it. She comes up with the most simple concepts and turns them into books that both me and my kids adore.My family has nearly the entire Boynton collection of board books. But the Belly Button Book is among the best. There is just something about the little hippo saying "Bee boo" to describe his belly button that cracks me up. And when he points to the balloon and says "Boon!" it just slays me. (Oh yeah that's right. I'm 38 years old and I'm personally enjoying this book aside from the enjoyment of watching my kids like it. You heard me!!)Even better is watching my son lean over to poke his own belly button every time it's mentioned in the book (which is every single page). He leans over, pokes himself in the bee boo, and laughs...ever single time. It's great.You just can't beat Sandra Boynton books for kids. They don't teach lessons. They don't have morals. They don't have deep plots. There is no great character development. They are fun little books that usually make very little sense that are extremely fun and well illustrated. And I'm a firm believer that ANY book that makes a kid interested in reading it is a GREAT book for kids. Getting kids hooked on reading and enjoying it young will make them enjoy books more as they grow up. And that's a good thing!!! I've seen Boynton books have this impact on my older kid and now I'm seeing it happen on my younger kid. I'd recommend all of these to any parent, but especially the Belly Button Book.
