Please Do Not Open this Book! (Bright & Early Playtime Books)

Book Description

Many, many adults name this book as their favorite Little Golden Book. Generations of kids have interacted with lovable, furry old Grover as he begs the reader not to turn the page—for fear of a monster at the end of the book. “Oh, I am so embarrassed,” he says on the last page . . . for, of course, the monster is Grover himself! This all-time favorite is now available as a Big Little Golden Book—perfect for lap-time reading.

From the Hardcover edition.

Great Book.......2007-03-08

This was one of my favorite most memorable books from when I was a little girl. Now I bought it for one of my girl friends daughter, who is 6 and she loved it also!

TIMELESS CLASSIC.......2007-01-09

I loved this book as a child and now I love reading it with my children.
This book is a true classic.

A fun re-imagining of an old favorite.......2006-11-28

This pop-up version of the 1970s Sesame Street classic, "The Monster At The End Of This Book" captures the same sense of fun and goofy audience participation as the original. The pop-up gags are enjoyable -- when Grover tries to tie the book shut, or nail the pages shut in order to prevent readers from getting to the end, we now get to see him pulling on the rope and hammering the nails. When his brick wall collapses, a 3-D Grover now sits among the wreckage. In opting for the participatory style of the pop-up medium, this new version mildly undercuts the book's original attraction, the fun that kids can have when adults ask them, "Do you think we should turn the page this time? maybe we should stop reading the book..." They can still howl nooooooo! turn the page! but with the thrill of a pop-up behind each page, it's harder to make the case that maybe we should give poor Grover a break, just this once. Of course none of this prevented my kid from insisting we read this one over and over -- she'd read both the original version and the shorter board-book edition before, but she really went ga-ga over this one. So, it's been road-tested in our household, and passed with flying colors. A fun book. Poor Grover.

A fun presentation kids will enjoy........2006-10-08

While the interactive pulls, zips and wheels may not be appropriate for library lending collections, parents and any with kids in the home will want to consider the 35th anniversary edition of Sesame Street's best-selling book MONSTER AT THE END OF THIS BOOK, which has been adapted here into a 'Bright and Early Playtime' title blending text from the original with tab slides, flaps and more. Mike Smollin's bright Sesame Street illustrations come to life in a fun presentation kids will enjoy.

Fun and sturdy.......2006-11-10

My 2-year-old loves this book. She is able to manipulate all the moving parts without ripping them out of the book. As a big 'Go Dog Go' fan, she also enjoys seeing the familiar characters and being able to make the dogs drive around in cars and jump in the water.

Just purchased a second copy!.......2005-09-30

My 2y-8m old daughter simply adores this book, and we have great fun reading it together. It has been lovingly read to pieces, and it's time for a new one. This book is, hands down, one of her top-notch favorites! When I read to my daughter, I become quite animated; well, this book, by it's very design, invites us to be as silly as we can, because we are in for a jolly good time!
I highly recommend this one!!!

Great interactive book.......2005-07-15

My 4 year old son loves this book. He has some speech delays and this book really got him talking! The interactive aspect of it is great. On one page the dogs jump off the board and goes under "water" which is like blue cellophane. So the white dog turns blue under water, the pink one turns purple, etc. The hat theme from the "Go, Dog, Go" book is also cute. There is a page where you turn the wheel and the dog's hat changes color. This book would help teach colors. Great book!

"How big is baby ostrich? SOOO BIG!" Young children will love lifting the flaps to find out just how big each animal can be. The text is simple: "How big is baby...? SOOO BIG!" Lift the flap to see giraffes, owls, and snakes stretching and leaping to their fullest extent to impress the world with their size. The final page will be the favorite one, of course, as the question changes to "How big are YOU?" and a fold-out 22- to 48-inch ruler is displayed to be detached and mounted on the wall for kids to determine exactly how tall they really are.

Charming illustrations, big and small, by beloved artist Dan Yaccarino (Circle Dogs, Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! I'm Off to the Moon!), delight the eye with their warm colors and personality, while the playful concept will surely appeal to every tot who dreams of growing tall and strong.

so big.......2005-09-30

Very good book. My one year old loves it and throws his arms in the air when I say Sooooooooo Big!

Two for one.......2005-08-17

"So Big" is the cutest little book. It's a simple read when they beg for one more, and it is fun. Plus you get the growth chart in the back to track the growth of your little ones.

Great book for babies and toddlers.......2005-07-10

This book fast became a favorite for my little girl. The clever illustrations keep her attention the whole book through and she loves to throw her arms up at the end when asked "How big are you?". Dan Yaccarino is fabulously talented--we now have three of his books, Unlovable, Bittle,and SO Big!--all are great.
