All Fall Down (Oxenbury Board Books)

We were introduced to this book and "Tickle, Tickle" during a baby reading time at the library. I was amazed at how much our oldest LOVED these two books, so we bought them. Flash forward a few years and my toddler twins are now loving these books and my oldest enjoys reading them to the little ones! Sometimes the simplest books are the most fun. The babies sing "la la la la la" when the babies in the book are singing and we all fall down together at the end.

We have been reading various books to my daughter for the past 5-6 months. Now she is a year old and this is one book she points to and insists we read. She turns the pages on the book and bounces up and down when she see the pictures. I am buying some more books by Helen Oxenbury for her.

Sing-songy verse like the other books in this series make it a favorite for babies just getting into books. Fun gift, too!

I have all 4 of these Oxenbury books and both of my kids have been absolutely captivated by them. It is the only book that they will just sit and actively listen and follow from between 6-15 months. Watch their faces while another reads it to them and you will be amazed at how the respond to the simple, large pictures and rhymes. As an adult, I am attracted to more detailed and complex illustrations, but this is what a BABY likes! Any of her books are a perfect way to introduce you child to book reading.

This is my 8 month old's favorite book. Everytime I read it to her, which is everyday for the past several months, she goes into a state of bliss. She loves the big, happy, bouncy multi-cultural babies and I always sing the words to her for added pleasure. Great choice for infants.
