My son and I have great fun reading this book together. Our joint renderings of "OH,NOOO!!!" become more dramatic (i.e., louder) with each refrain. The absurd humor is very accessible to toddlers and preschoolers, and the book is quite sturdy.

"Oh, No!" is my 16-month-old twins' favorite phrase. They absolutely love this book. In fact, they've had it since they were just a couple months old, and I need to buy a second one because they've "read" this one so much. And yet, even I'm not tired of it yet. It's an easy read with hard pages. Our pages have food, and kiss marks all over it. Your kids will love it!

This is my 7 year old son's favorite book at the moment, which surprises me, because it's about a man who retires and fulfills his dream to become a hot dog man!

Not something every 7 year old can relate to, but it's a well told, interesting little story.

We see Stan's hopes that his new business will succeed. We watch as he shows compassion for a poor family, and when a snowstorm threatens school children, we see just how wonderful Stan really is.

He's a very likeable character, and spending the day with Stan is like spending the day with Grandpa.

Lovely story and easy for beginning readers.

This is a level 2 easy reader about a man who retires and becomes a hot dog man. A very cute story about a man and his wife. My 7 year old enjoyed reading this book.

A refreshing change from Disneyesque "children's" stories that seem necessarily to involve death, destruction, orphaned babies, violence, or assorted misfortune. This book offers page-after-page of a good-hearted story about a good-hearted man. Exactly the book you will want to read with your 3-year-old fresh out of the tub.

Such a shame the book is out of print. I was looking to get a new copy because my two boys wore ours out. Funny pictures, simple text, they love to read along and join in with the oh no!

This book (Is there an Elephant in Your Kitchen) is fun to read and fun to hear. The pictures are funny! The text moves right along. The kids in playgroup gather quickly when they see that I'm about to read this book. They interact with the story, shouting 'yes' and 'oh no!' at the appropriate places. I am saddened to see that this book is out of print.

My husband and I have read this book to both our are daughters during their babyhood and toddler years, and they loved it! The bright illustration of silly seals taking over the park, and the anticipation of yelling "OH NO" when the seals are discovered adds to the delight!
