Bedtime at the Swamp

This book is so fun, I am Pta president at my childrens school and our school just had Kristyn Crow come for a all day presentation it was amazing the rhyming and rythm of her books are so fun my children who are 8,10,12 all loved both of her books. They listened to her speak today and also got their books autographed I would recommend her books for anyone with Children. The little boy on the cover of this book looks a lot like the illustrator and has admitted it's him to Mrs.Crow. She was amazing and so are her books. I can't wait for the middle child blues to come out as I will be purchaseing it for my middle childs birthday. Also has another book coming soon called the skeleton cat it looks really cute. You can't go wrong with Kristyn Crow books.

We love the book. We got our copy at the library, where we get all the "new acquisitions". This one is a keeper - we'll have to go buy a copy. I changed the chant from rumba rumba to rumba bumba which is easier to say. love love love it.

Book is super awesome. The kids and I love to read it together and find ourselves chanting it throughout the house. Very fun

I have a 18 month old daughter and we bought this book for her this month while at the Audubon Zoo Swamp fest. She couldn't wait for us to get home to read it to her. It has now become a nightly ritual, with us reading it to her twice! It's even helped her be more cooperative in brushing her teeth (rumba rumba!). As we live in Louisiana, adding the cajun accent isn't hard and the author has caught the cajun pattern of speech exactly. I can't wait to get more books by Ms Crow as I am sure my daughter will enjoy them as much as she does this one!

Gideon (age 2) told me to go to the library and get the monster rumba rumba book again. A sign that this is a great read-aloud book is when kids (ages 2-4) you see only weekly are quoting and retelling the story and want it read over and over. The rhythm is catchy, the illustrations provide information not spelled out and the kids love a monster story that ends happily. I'll be buying this book, but doubt that I'll be able to hold on to it, one of my swamp monsters will entice it away from me.
