I have been reading this book to my now 1 year old daughter since 4 months of age. She was instantly captivated by bright pictures. Added to that are the collection of rhymes that can be played with the child. When I read out "Five little ducks..." She answers back saying "Quack Quack Quack".
A couple of these are hand games you have never heard of and I guess you are supposed to "guess" what they would sound like? I had thought the book would be a step by step with pictures but it's not.
My son has loved the Sesame Beginnings books since he was a few months old. We keep buying the new age range books as he gets older. He still loves the earliest ones and gets so excited whenever we show them to him. I recommend all the Sesame Beginnings books to help teach children to enjoy learning and reading. Pat-A-Cake is a favorite of my 15 month old son!
Love the bright pictures! My 15mo is in love with Elmo. Would have given this book 5 stars except that as it is not a story book, it's hard to capture and keep the attention of a child on one page for too long as I read the rhythm.
This book is ok. I love sesame street books for my son because they are so educational and the colors are bright. I thought I would learn new baby games to play with this book, but they are all pretty ordinary games I already know about. The one plus is my son loves the pictures.
I purchased this book for my daughter. The illustrations are bright and cheery. The rhymes for pat-a-cake were great (including instructions on how to do the different hand movements for other rhymes). There were rhymes I have never heard of and she loved them. A great book for adults to spend quality time with their children.(The only negative remark I have for this book is that I wish they used a more clear font. Although you can read it, it sometimes takes a second glance when you refer back to it quickly. BUt this negative isn't high enough to affect my 5-star rating of this book. It's probably more of a personal preference)
