great rhythm!

2007-04-24
My children have loved this book from the very first reading. It has a nice pace and the notions are silly (as advertised in the title)--great for preschool kids who are prereading. It is one of the few children's books that I never (truly NEVER!) tire of reading to my kids.

I think more for girls?

Not to be gender biased, but my boys just didn't enjoy it as much as some of the reviews on here had suggested they might. It was cute, sweet, giggly. Perfect for a giggly sweet little girl.

We all love Silly Sally. It's got rhythm and rhyme. We just purchased it for Christmas 06 and our entire family already has it memorized. It's wacky and silly enough for all ages.

Upside-Down Silliness!

2006-07-13
"Silly Sally went to town, walking backwards, upside down." On her way, she meets a pig, dog, loon, and sheep. They dance, play leapfrog, sing, and fall asleep. Sally's friend, Neddy Buttercup has tickles in mind!

Full of sweet, whimsical watercolor paintings, Silly Sally is great for those not-so-quiet story-time moments. Whether your child is serious or silly, be sure to have this sure-to-be a classic on your shelf. Who knows? Maybe YOU will learn to walk backwards, upside down!

My daughter, Chloe, loves this book, and so do I. We have fun reading it together. She brings it up all the time. She will be hanging upside down off of the couch and she will say "Silly Chloe went to town, walking backwards upside down!" Silly Sally gets an A+ in my book!

My 5 year old loves this book. She has it memorized and "reads" it to us over and over again. It's very cute, building on the page before. The illustrations are great and silly and there is a definite resolution. A must read for all.

Original and funny.....

Great book as it plays on the the silly humor that we all share. Simple story line with colorful illustrations that my 3 year old could relate to. I sent this book to my daugher's daycare and her teacher commented how the other children loved the story too. That really made my day. Its a great book to make kids laugh.

A wonderful book for a little girl

I bought this book for my daughter after reading the reviews on amazon. She absolutely loves the book and has memorized the book from front to back. At 2.5 years old, she can repeat the text in the book word for word when I read it to her.

An entertaining and great book for little girls. I am glad that I bought it for my daughter..

Can Audrey and Don Woods go wrong? I have not seen a single book by this pair that I haven't liked. I love the illustrations as usual, but I really love the meter of the text and the way it is combined and placed with the illustrations. It has a very musical quality and really lends itself to being read aloud. I have it almost memorized after only a few readings. I think I probably like to read it more than my daughter :-)
