Toby learns about counting and the importance of putting his things away in this wonderful book. My three and a half year old twins love this book and enjoy taking turns counting Toby's marbles. They especially love the silliness of Toby's pet ant, Hercules. It's also writen well enough that parents can read it over and over to their children and still find it cute too.

Toby (a young mouse) is bored. With his mother's help, he uses his imagination to discover new games to play with his toys. He exercises with his dinosaurs, holds up the world, and makes up a dinosaur song. After a picnic lunch he makes his dinosaurs go to sleep (and he falls asleep, too). Although Toby is billed as "Everyone's favorite toddler" young elementary school children will also identify with and enjoy him.

Toby, an intelligent little mouse, is learning the alphabet. He fills his shopping basket with things he finds on his walk. The first thing he collects is an ant (A is for ant), which he keeps for a pet to love always. What makes this alphabet book special is that there is a memorable storyline, which will capture childrens' interest. By connecting all of the alphabet letters in a narrative, the author helps the child make sense of the alphabet. A big improvement over the "A is for apple, B is for ball" idea.

In this sweet book Toby returns for another appearance, this time at bedtime. His mommy washes his ears and his daddy helps him put on his pajamas while Toby says good night to various body parts (Goodnight fuzzy pink ears, goodnight big round tummy and little pink toes). This is a calm quiet bedtime book that can teach your little one to say good night to all his parts then good night to Mommy and Daddy. A highly recommended book for tots!

We bought this book as a present from our new baby boy to give to his 2 year old brother when he visited Mommy and baby in the hospital. It does a great job of explaining, in positive terms, why Mommy and Daddy may be busy with the new baby and how big brothers are special, too. It really helped the transition from being an only child to a helpful big brother - and it's still one of our son's favorite books!

Wilbur Bunny is a delightful guide in this alphabet book, and Szekeres' little Toby the bunny appears on nearly every page. Szekeres uses alliteration to help your child remember each letter of the alphabet ("Silly Susan sings songs with Sylvia"). The illustrations are a delight too. "Unusual Ursula" certainly is! Little Toby appears here and there to lend a hand. This is an adorable easy to remember book, and you will find yourself repeating the rhymes during the day. A best buy for your tot!

We got this from the library for our 2 1/2-year-old daughter and it quickly became her very favorite book and not just at bedtime. Naturally, we could not keep the libraries, so we bought her her very own copy. Great story, great illustrations.

I can't say enough good things about this book. My 2 yr old son absolutely loves it. He gets excited at bedtime because he knows it's the time when mommy and daddy read him this book. It's a darling story about 5 small bunnies and their mama and papa. My son loves the part when papa bunny gives baby bunny "whiskery kisses" while getting ready for bed. My husband attacks him with whiskery kisses as we read this part and our son squeals with delight.

This is a wonderful book to read to a child just before bedtime. It is calm, cute pictures, and not too long. It's cute in the way that it shows the mommy bunny and daddy bunny tucking in their little bunnies including the last cup of water and potty before bed. Very, very good book!

Hello,
I am reviewing a book called " Good Night, Sweet Mouse" by Cyndy Szekers.
This book is about a mouse, that has to go to bed. He does all the things to get ready. Some examples, you move the mouse's hand to help his put his toys away. You turn the pages of the book that they are reading. You can also help dry off the little mouse, brush his teeth, and tuck him in.
I think this a great book to help children learn how to do those things at night. If they see little mouse doing it, they might do it too.

Cute story with appropriate illustrations. A must have for Kindergarten teachers to help celebrate Day 100 of school! It is a great book to use as a count up to that special Day 100.

A wonderful, short book that reassures your little one that no matter how many goofs they make, Mama still loves them. It covers the ups and downs of a typical day ("When I mess up, When I dress up"...) that toddlers and pre-schoolers can easily identify with.
