I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words (Bright and Early Board Books)

Rating:
Summary: A great rhyming book
Review: ...The artwork is very bright and child-friendly, and the rhyming is equally friendly. Note the rhymes/story on each page are not as short as a Dr. Seuss book. The line I gave at the top of this review is typical of what you will read on a page. Young readers may want to move on faster than you want to read, but once you've read it a few times and memorized the story flow, it's easy to get through. A great addition to a collection for toddlers.

Summary: I'll teach my kid to read this book
Review: It's a lot more fun to read to your kid if the book has humour and imagination like most of these beginner books do.Not the best but still pretty good.

Summary: Another terrible abridgement
Review: Random House has seen fit to abridge many of the great "Beginner Books" to convert them to board book format -- Dr. Seuss' ABC's, Go Dog Go, and this one (which should be, by the way, I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words). The rewritten versions take all the joy out the books -- the rhythm and rhyme is uneven, and the overall flow is choppy. Save yourself and do your kids a service by buying the originals and avoiding these board (or should I say bored) versions.
