Good Night, Lucy : Pull Tab Book

Rating:
Summary: A hit....
Review: I picked up this book (as well as many others) for my now 10 month old daughter. I try to keep all of her books simple at this point, but no matter what book I try to show and read to her...this is the one she always goes for! No other book in her collection keeps her interest through the end. It's amazing how quietly she will sit as she watches me turn the pages, pull the tabs, and move the inserts. I have to read this book atleast three times at each sitting. Sometimes I even have to hide it, so that we can move on to something else! My daughter highly recommends this one!!!!!!

Review: I'm having to buy a second copy of this book because the 6 year old is upset that her toddler sister has ripped some of the pockets. While it's clearly geared to younger children, my older one has a strong sentimental attachment to it, which speaks of its impact on kids. It's very simple, but the action/reaction component of the book make it more than just a pop-up book. Surprisingly, most of the the pieces remained with the book for a couple of years (much to my surprise), but now the little one is making quick work of it. Needless to say, it's great at bedtime.

Review: My two year old daughter enjoys playing with the removeable pieces and surprisingly has not tried to remove them from the book and scatter around the house. The book was quite stiff and hard to "operate" at first - it still does not always work that smoothly. I figure that is will not last until my next child as some of the pieces are already bent and getting dog-earred after a month of use. Some of the moving parts don't work very well already. The story concept of getting ready to go to bed is good, the book needs to be sturdier for this audience.
