Daddy and Baby Both love it!

2008-03-06
I bought this book for my husband for Christmas to read to our 9 month old boy. Both my husband and son love this book! I agree with another reviewer that if the daddy is not handy around the house, this probably isn't the best book for a father and son to read as it is all about Daddy's nails, hammers, etc to build a dog house. But my son loves to lift the flaps... but be careful because the little ones also like to pull the flaps off! We've already had to reglue one flap back on.

Great book, my Son loves it!

As a fellow children's book author/illustrator (Herbie the Erbie - What Are These Things Called Feelings?) I can certainly say this is a fun little book. My little guy enjoys lifting all the flaps and reading along with Daddy as we read through the book together.

This book was cute if the father you have in mind is handy around the house. Kind of a bummer for office type Dads who don't do this stuff. My son doesn't, so I will have to find someone else to give the book to.

My husband loves to read this to my son!

With the way our schedule works, I end up spending more time with my son reading and doing activities than his father. My son loves it when his daddy reads to him, and especially when its this book. He loves lifting up all the little flaps and its just special daddy time! He enjoys it when I read it as well...its just a cute book!

Great book!

My son and my husband love this book. The flaps are easy to lift and the story is easy to understand. Highly recommend it!

Great Fathers Day Gift

I bought this as a gift from my son to his Daddy for Fathers Day and they both love it.

We have issues with it.

My daughter likes all of Karen Katz's lift the flap books, but this one isn't the greatest of topics for a 1-yr-old. Plus it perpetuates gender stereotypes. Even though the kid in the story is gender-neutral, the daddy is all about tools and building stuff.

Great book - unfortunately arrived damaged

My son LOVES this book. It's strictly a book my husband reads to him and you can hear him shriek with excitement when this book comes out in the bedtime reading rotation. Unfortunately, the book arrived with one of the lift-up flaps torn off. Otherwise this book is great!

Daddy's turn

Great book for father's to read to their little ones. Fun flaps to lift. My kids bring this book to Daddy to read to them. It's special time with him.

Another winner from Karen Katz!

We love Karen Katz's books at our house -- the illustrations are adorable, they're just the right length for our 1-year-old son's attention span, and he LOVES to open the little flaps.

Just two small complaints:

First, I really wish the flaps on these books were a little sturdier. My son has already ripped one off. *Sniffle* (This goes for ALL lift-the-flap board books, by the way!)

Second, has anyone else noticed that the first page reads, "first we saw the wood," and the next page says, "Then we measure the wood"? This drives my husband INSANE! Every time he reads this to our son, he reads the second page first, so that our son learns he should measuring things before he cuts them, not vice versa ;)
