I did like this work. Wonderful, bright, clear and concise photography make this a delight for children and make it a fun read for the adult reading with the child. Of course I like dogs and anything about them. The photos in this work quite capture the animals personality. Recommend this one for your preschooler.

great for kids of all ages!

I purchased this book for a preschooler's birthday present anddecided to keep it for my own 16 month old son and myself! Althoughthe content is too advanced for him, he is fascinated by the collages of tinted photos. The colors used for the photos are bright, but not obnoxiously so...nice change from typical kids' books AND appealing to those who are into "retro". Both of us like the silly photos of the dogs at the party, too. I think that my son will really enjoy this book in a few years when he can pick out the items in the photo puzzles, but in the meantime, we are content to read about silly dogs (and one cat) at a birthday party. Happy Birthday, Alfred!

This was one of the first board books we tried with our son and he loved it from the first or second time we tried reading it to him at age 4-5 months. There is not much to it, but the photos and graphics still appeal to him months later. He has other books with photos of other babies, but he doesn't like them, but for some reason he enjoys the photos of babies in this book.

We have owned this book since my son was about 6 months old (he is now 19 months). This has been one of his absolute favorite books for the whole time we've had it. The star cut-outs are very interesting and fun. We have several Amazing Baby Board Books, but this one is our favorite.

5 stars from my twins!

My 13-month old twin daughters LOVE this board book! I've sung "Twinkle, Twinkle" to them since they were in the hospital, so they know the song, but they are absolutely enthralled with this book! The shiny foil and cut-out stars keep them occupied for literally 20 minutes at a time - and they keep coming back to it! So, I'm buying it since we have to return this copy to the library.

Dictionary to see my son through college
Helpful Votes: 29 out of 35 total.
Review Date: 2000-04-12
I was looking for an Amarican dictionary that could see my 7 year old son through college. I scanned the Amazon and read in detail about all available dictionaries and made this choice. Now I am using it myself also.

It presents works broken into syllables and the pronunciation key is provided on every page. This makes correcting pronunciation easy.

It is partially illustrated. This makes it pleasant to read.

Although it is thick, it is light. This is an important consideration for students.

The binding is strong, so is the paper. I am sure it will see my son through college.

Never lost!

My young daughter was forever losing the paperback dictionary in our home. I purchased this book for her birthday. She nows enjoys looking up words and this book can take her through middle school, high school and into her college years. Plus, it is difficult to misplace such a substanial book.

Making History Real!
Helpful Votes: 14 out of 14 total.
Review Date: 2001-11-18
Do you want to make history come alive in your classroom? This book is packed full of hands-on, brains-on simulations that will really get your students thinking about some important events and concepts of American History. These activities help students to make an emotional connection with the historical events that shaped America by having them participate in role-playing simulations. My personal favorite is an Activity called "The King's M&M's" (the kids loved it too!) I have used these activities in my 7th and 8th Grade American History class and have been thrilled with the discussions it has inspired. These simulations grab the students from the start and keep them hooked. Try them!

Great classroom tool

I am not a social studies teacher specifically. I teach Middle School Special Education and I am always looking for ways to make education come to life. This book has some great ideas for making historical issues relevant to youth today.

Animal Habitats!
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2008-11-16
This is a fun biology/ecology book for very young children who are learning about North American animals. It incorporates learning with fun hands-on and visual arts and crafts, which makes it perfect for younger children. I especially liked that it looks at various ecological regions and the animals that live there. We used it in conjunction with lots of books and videos from the local library.

Fun, easy crafts for young animal lovers

Review Date: 2007-01-10
This is a perfect book for young children who are interested in animals and nature. Each section has information about a particular animal and its habitat along with a fun craft project based on that habitat. The craft projects are simple and fast, and the kids can do many of the steps themselves. Most of the materials required are objects you would already have in your house.

This whole series of Backyard Books are an absolute must for every early childhood classroom. The information is written in such a respectful, child-friendly form that the children ask for the books to be re.read. It is in a narrative form but filled with factual information The illustrations are exquisite! I have three of the series and my Kindergarten children are asking for the others! ! !

What a great book! My 2 year old was going through a fear of insects phase and this book helped tremendously. Not only did it educate her on the life cycle of the grasshopper, it did so without talking down to her. Now, she actually looks forward to going outside to "visit all her bugs".

I went through this book the very minute I received it, front to back cover. The numerous large color photographs were impressive and the information the book contained on the artist, the dolls, the variations, the clothes, and the other Playpal Family dolls gave me a well-rounded education, along with the other Patti Playpal book, called Patti Playpal Family. I am not disappointed that I splurged on them both. There was much information in the Art of... that was not in the other and yet the other contained some information that the Art of... didn't. A must for Patti Playpal lovers - both books.

I've had this book for years and look at it often. the European dolls pictured are not seen in most other guides . I wish some of the photos were better and that the color was more true to life in them but I can't fault her research or her doll knowledge. I don't know this author like I do Jim or Michael or Joe so this is a legit review and not done out of kindness but the guys i mentioned are top notch too and don't need friendship reviews either

There's not a lot of printed information in this book, it's mostly pictures, but I absolutely LOVE this book. The pictures are great, & they come in handy if you need something to refer to, say for auction information (buying or selling). I highly recommend this book if it's pictures of vintage items you're after, you won't be disappointed!
