Boynton books are probably my favorite books for my little girl (now almost three), and we have several of the Little Pookie books. I love this one and also highly recommend "What's Wrong Little Pookie?" (Several other favorites in the house are "But Not the Hippopotamus", "Blue Hat Green Hat", "Oh my Oh my Oh Dinosaurs!", the "Going to Bed Book" and "Pajama Time" - we have the box sets) Besides the nice rhythm and rhymes and funny pictures, I love the length of these books. She can't hold her attention long enough for "older" books like Cinderella or Winnie the Pooh full stories. But she can easily be entertained for one or two of these a night as part of the bedtime routine.
What I love best about Little Pookie is Pookie's adorable irreverence. Mama says, "You like to get dirty"; Pookie says, "Yes!" Mama says, "You like to get clean"; Pookie says, "Maybe."But on top of Pookie's great character is the simple fact that Pookie has no gender. Across all five Little Pookie books (we have 'em all), Pookie dresses in neutral overalls and is never identified as male or female.This is such a breath of fresh air after, say, Jane Yolen/Mark Teague's HOW DO DINOSAURS...? series, where every! single! dino is male. (Curious indeed -- you'd think they'd die out after one generation.) Then along came our beloved Little Pookie. Little Pookie, who in this book has eleven attributes named by Mama, any of which could apply to any little boy or girl reading the book. We love you, Little Pookie.
Please Ms. Boynton, write more Pookie!!!!!We adore him, and your books!Pookie basically is a loveable little pig and his mommy is reciting things about him.I would suggest buying at least 1 additional Pookie book to accompany this one so you and your kid get the full effect... Like Night Night Little Pookie. My son is 2 and goes nuts over them : )
My granddaughter loves the Pookie books and gravitates towards them over all the other books at my house. She reads the list on the back of the books and tells me to order the other books. I encourage her love of reading - thank you Sandra Boyton!
My 4.5 year old granddaughter wouldn't even stop to put the garbage in the can before "Mommy" had to read her the book. Immediately after reading it, she called me and her voice was so high with excitement I could barely understand the words. Knowing her as I do, this book will be read many, many times! Thanks for a great product.
My son LOVES this book. It's presented in a very cute way... the mother counts off 10 things she knows about her Little Pookie. All of the 10 things listed are really random yet engaging. The story is shirt enough - which makes it perfect to read before bedtime or nap time. I highly recommend all Little Pookie books!
My little one loves the Pookie books. She dances along to the words (we kind of sing them at times) when we are reading these to her at night. They are fun for parents to read. Really cute character and story lines. Love me some Pookie!
We have all of the Pookie books and this one is my least favorite. It doesn't really have a storyline. Pookie's mom talks about the 10 things she knows/loves about him, and that's about it. It doesn't showcase Pookie's adorable personality they way that they others do.
