Editorial Reviews

The thinking's not fuzzy in these board books, but the animals certainly are. Sandra Boynton's familiar furry creatures introduce simple concepts in this bright collection of four books, replete with clever line drawings. In Horns and Toes and In Between, three horned monsters teach the parts of the body in rhyme: "...and we have a fuzzy TUMMY that we all like to pat / and a little BELLY BUTTON in the middle of that." The Going to Bed Book gets a Noah's Ark of animals organized for bed: "They hang their towels on the wall / and find pajamas, big and small." Opposites is just that: cute animals "high and low / fast and slow / heavy and light / day and night." In the rhyming reader But Not the Hippopotamus, a hippo finds himself on the outs as "a cat and two rats are trying on hats. / But not the hippopotamus. / A moose and a goose together have juice. / But not the hippopotamus." Rest assured the hippo finds love at the end. (Baby to preschool) --Claire Dederer

Sandra Boynton is one great author of kids books!, 2008-05-16
We love, love, love Sandra Boynton and all the silliness she brings to children's books. My children adore her books. Her ability to bring humor out in books for kids at such a young age is incredible. I started reading these books to my kids when they were just babies, and they were probably the first books that they got a real belly laugh from. Eventually, they came to reciting the vereses with me, and we have read these books thousands of times. You will enjoy the box set and the pricing that goes with it. Trust me, you will want all four of these books for your collection, and the savings of getting all four together can't be beat! As opposed to some box sets that have a dud or two in them, you will NOT find this to be the case with these books. You will love them all.

We Love Boynton!, 2008-03-18
We are working on collection all of Sandra Boynton's books because they are so cute and so much fun to read. The ones we don't own yet we check out of the library often because my daughter (now 19 months old) just LOVES to hear them over and over again and has since she was born! I find her "reading" (saying parts from memory) the books on her own too. Out of this group of 4 books Opposites is currently her favorite (the one she asks me to read most) but she (and I) love them all!

Great books and great vaule!, 2008-02-15
I love these books and so does my baby. These are the first books he would sit down and let us read to him. The price is great if you buy them this way. There are three collections of Boynton in all offered on Amazon, all are worth every penny. If you price these individually you are saving a lot of money buying them this way.

The books themselves are well made and very nicely illustrated and fun to read.
