Serious Silliness!

2008-06-16
My four month old LOVES this book. He gets very excited every time I sit down to read it to him. I swear he is mumbling "oops" when we get to that on each page. We have several of the Boynton books and he recognizes the characters from one book to the next. This is his favorite however. I love reading it to him too. A definite must read!!

Fun

Blue Hat,Green Hat by Sandra Boynton is a charming book about colors . My grandson who is two years old laughs everytime I read it to him. The characters in the book are precious.The book is a great learning tool for teaching colors.

Great book - would recommend highly

Bought this book for my 16 month old granddaughter who liked it. However, my 3 1/2 yo granddaughter LOVED it. She caught right on (while I was reading it to her) and was then able to "read" it all herself - while laughing hysterically. She thought the book was really funny and was "reading" it over and over again. Learning more and more about the words. What a great book! Thank you once again to Sandry Boynton.

Boynton is fun to read (for parents) and a joy for children. Can't go wrong with a Boynton book.

Funny and fun!

My daughter enjoys this book a lot, and I enjoy watching her enjoy it. The reviewer that gave this book 1 star said that the book does not teach kids anything and is therefore boring and useless, I disagree: it teaches names of clothes, body parts they are meant to be worn on, colors, and animals. I think it's an awful lot for a tiny little book with very few words! It is very effective, too, after about a month of having this, my 20-months old "read" one of the pages on her own: "hat, hat, hat, oh-oh". :-) I don't know about you, but sounds like she totally got it for me!
The one criticism that I do agree with is the poor choice of "oops" animal - it's a turkey, and it does look like it has a sock draped over its face, I can see my little one hesitate every once in a while on that one... I wish the artist would have either done a better job on that or picked a simpler animal. But I am not sure it's worthy of taking away a star, if I could take away a half - maybe...

Excellent!

This has been my 2yo daughter's favorite book for 6 months! She is learning her colors too! A fun, never-dull book for toddlers.

Loved this as a child

2007-09-12
We had this book when I was a child, though I think my parents bought it for my younger sister. Anyway, I loved it even as an older child (i.e. seven years old and so on), and as an adult it still tickles my funny bone. I plan to buy this and other Boynton books for my boy when he's a little older.

My family's favorite Boynton book

The concept is simple enough -- recognizing patterns, and recognizing the humor when something doesn't go as planned. This works as a great metaphor for adults, too, because we'll run across plenty of turkeys who screw things up for themselves and others. After all, that's life.

Bad Boynton Book

2007-06-02
I usually like Boynton books but I'm not a fan of this one. It's subject matter and writing is terrible. "Blue hat, green hat, oops." It's that same sentence repeated for about 6 pages, switching out hat for socks, pants and shoes. There is no story. There's nothing to teach my daughter from reading this book, nor anything that could spark creativity. It's just boring.
