[.ca] Snuggle Puppy: a little love song (ISBN 0761130675)

Works on my not very snuggly puppy:
My son is 15 months and always busy busy busy - too busy to cuddle. However, when we read this book (he often takes it off the shelf and brings it over to me) he stays attentive for the whole book and laughs at the "OOOOOOOOOOOOOO I Love You!" parts. It's a great book to use to demonstrate to your child how special they are to you.

Predicatable and wonderful:
My son loves anticipating the words and the kisses. I don't know the tune, so we do it as a chant, and it's wonderful. He screams with laughter anticipating the next words. Tonight we read it 3 times and he took it to bed.

Oooooooooh! One of our favorite books!:
I bought this book when my daughter was not yet born. I started to read to her when she was three months old. I sit her on my lap and let her rest against my body while I hold the book infront of her to read. She is now 5 1/2 months old and this is one of her favorite books. She gets very excited when I pick this one off the shelf. While I read it she grabs for the book and her legs kick and kick while she smiles. The book is a really sweet story about a mommy dog and her "snuggle puppy". While making cookies she sings him a song about loving him for who he is and what he does. Its short and very very sweet. The book is based on a song but I dont know the song and I dont think it matters. The words are so important to giving your child good self confidence. I think when they are old enough to understand what you are saying it will be even better for them. This is a cute book and it doesnt get old. I love to "sing" my daughter the snuggle puppy song where ever we might be and she loves it.

Great Bedtime Book:
I purchased this book not knowing much about the author and im very glad i did. Sandra Boyton books are very appealing and have fun story lines. My little girl who is now 20 months has enjoyed this book since she was 10 months(when i purchased it). The simple illustrations and catchy words make it fun for her and me! She tries to sing along and the message in the book is wonderful for any child!

An appetizer on the Boynton buffet:
This, like all the Boynton books I've seen, is a beautiful little package -- a sweet song and adorable pictures, sure to result in much snuggling and special moments. It is great for little kids, especially (in fact this song has become a bedtime standard for us). However, if you and your kids like this book, be sure to check out Sandra Boynton's full "Philadelphia Chickens" collection -- a Broadway-show type "review" of many fantastic and catchy toons, with great illustrations and a CD (featuring Patti LuPone, Meryl Streep, The Bacon Brothers, etc.). My kids (3 & 8) have loads of fun singing the songs, dancing around like aardvarks in a chorus line, acting snoozy and then rock and rolling. My 8 year old daughter loves "Broadway" type of music, but much of it is pretty grown-up in content, so this is just the ticket. The songs are funny and appeal to both kids and adults. Sorry, I'm not saying more specifically about Snuggle Puppy, but the whole collection is a treasure for kids as they get older.
