 Fun To Hear Over and Over
The Animal Boogie by Debbie Harter This whimsically illustrated jungle book is a delight for any child to guess from the clues which engage his mind, which animal will be dancing on the next page . The simple words are full of engaging sounds which will capture the child's imagination. The sing-along CD is so much fun to listen to that you will be up dancing the animal boogie with your child. Definitely a good gift fo holiday giving!
Great fun
Our 2-year-old loves this book. It's bright and colourful with great illustrations. He asks for this book every day and knows all the words by heart. A great addition to his library.
 Annoying text and ugly pictures
My 3 year old daughter didn't seem to mind this book, but I hate it. The repetitive phrases are irritating and the pictures are ugly. On each page there is hardly any content packed into a forced rhyme in the following format:
*VERSE PAGE*
location
what can you see doing some action
inane focus on the verb of the previous line
basically repeat line 2
*CHORUS PAGE*
annoying lyric
annoying lyric again
annoying lyric yet again
pretty much copy line 2 from the verse
I won't even recycle this book as a gift to someone else... it's going in the bin.
 Great for kids - not so great for mom
Seriously, I really do not like this book. There's nothing actually wrong with it, it's just so annoying. You have to say "boogie, woogie, woogie, oogie" - or something like that a thousand times. The pictures are nice and bright (and inclusive), but the repetitive text is almost more than I can stand. And unfortunately for me, both my boys have loved this one. I'm giving it a three simply to split the difference.
This Is A Book Every Young Child Will Love
As a music teacher I have used this book for years. Children as young as 1 1/2 up to 7 have always loved it. I recently purchased it for a friend's one year old daughter thinking she will grow into it. But that was not the case. She immediately loved it! She is always turning on the CD and asking for the story every night before bed. The repetition, anticipation and tune always seem to captivate children. Then of course there are motions that most children will immediately pick up. If you like to have fun, smile, shake and dance this is a wonderful book.
