Boynton's Greatest Hits. Volume 1 Boynton, Sandra. Boynton Board Books.

Editorial Review
Artist Sandra Boynton has been charming adults for decades with her whimsical, animal-centric greeting cards and her droll sense of humor. When Boynton transferred her weirdly wonderful critters to board books for babies, she made publishing history. These short, hilarious books are perfectly suited to toddler tastes, with their small size, few words, cheerful colors, funny jokes, and silly animals. Blue Hat, Green Hat is all about getting dressed, and stars a very silly turkey who just doesn't get it. (Feet in the hat, pants on the head, etc.) His continuing refrain is "Oops." Moo, Baa, LA LA LA! investigates the sounds animals make, including pigs who sing. Doggies is "a counting and barking book" about the many sounds dogs can make, and A to Z frolics through the alphabet with amusing animal antics from an aardvark admiring to a zebra zigzagging. Parents love Boynton as much as kids do, and these four books in a compact boxed set will no doubt become household favorites! (Baby to age 3) --Marcie Bovetz

These are my favorite books to read to my girls

My girls are 5 and 3 and they love Sandra's books. I can't wait to get the whole collection. We have barnyard dance and snuggle puppy. My kids know every word and read/sing along the story with me.

great board books

Boynton's books were always some of my absolute favorite board books to read to my son (who is now 5) and he really enjoyed them as well. I especially liked Blue Hat, Green Hat and Doggies from this collection. As he got older, I started reading more regular books to him and one day he found his old board books in a box and eagerly went through Blue Hat, Green Hat. He always loved the "oops" :) He never seemed too fond of the A to Z book - there seemed to be a pretty short window for him on when I could read him alphabet books and he liked the Apple Car book better. These books are just the right length to read to a toddler and keep them entertained while giving them just a little bit of education.

It's always story time!

My children love Ms. Boynton's books and so do I. Her rhymes are creative and her drawings are hilarious!

wonderful books!

I bought these for my daughter as potty training rewards and she loves to read them-on the potty. Her favorites change with time, but loves them all. perfect size for a toddler to hold, and much better deal to buy the set than individually.

Humor for Children

2007-10-13
Sandra Boynton was recommended to me by a friend when I needed new books for my 2 year old son. I was thrilled to finally find books for him that were hilarious. He now laughs out loud when he reads her books and I know he is laughing because he really 'gets it'. He also can 'read' the book to himself, well practically. If day care had required reading this should be on the list. A definite must-have for all little (and not so little) people.

Sandra Boynton is awesome!

Boyton Rocks!

Sandra Boyton books are always a big hit at our house-she writes some terrific children's books that all kids seem to love!

love the author

We have fallen in love with these books. My son loves them and we have fun reading them with him. I didn't give 5 stars because we only really use 2 of the books. "Moo Baa LaLa" is my sons favorite. He loves the sounds the animals make and he enjoys hearing opps on "Blue Hat Green Hat". The other 2 just aren't as easy to read. We are looking forward to getting the volume 2. I think there are more "story" books in there.

Babies and Toddlers Truly Enjoy These Books

2007-05-28
My 8 month old and my 2 year old really love these books. They are creative, fun and most of them rhyme. These books help teach your child the colors, letters, animal sounds and much more. My husband and I have "Moo, Baa, La La La" memorized because it has been a favorite of my daughters for some time now. Sandra Boynton books are fabulous and sometimes even humorous.

Grandchildren love them

I purchased these for my grand daughter who is 3 years old and she loves to sit and read them to me. The books are very sturdy so they should hold up to some abuse. The stories are short, funny and colorful. Just what you need for a busy little kid.
