Bye-Bye, Big Bad Bullybug

We recently picked this up at the library. My son is three, so stories with little text are still good for him, he always wants to turn the page if there is too much text. He likes that the story is a little scary. I do different voices for the big bad bullybug and the baby bugs, and tickle, pinch, or pretend scratch along with the story. We've made it very interactive, and there is a big squooshing sound I make when the tennis shoe squishes the big bad bullybug. This is great fun. We read it at the library with a little girl, who was about seven or eight, I would say, and she also liked it.

We got this book because my 4-year old son loved Go Away Big Green Monster. He loves it just as much! We read it constantly. Honestly, we like Go Away Big Green Monster better, but both are thoroughly enjoyable. My son knows all the dialog from both books we read it so frequently. Mind you there isn't a lot of text, but it is fun.

Incredibly fun book for both the reader and the listener. Very colorful illustrations. I would recommend this to any parent or grandparent who loves to entertain by reading.

My 3-year-old loves the Ed Emberly books, and since this one was new, we got it out of the library (just in case he didn't love it as much). Long story short, this is his all-time favorite. He likes it even more than Go Away Big Green Monster, which was hard to beat. So, for his fourth birthday, he is getting a copy. We love this!

I love all the books by this author, having first read "Go Away Monster" years ago. This is probably my favorite of all his books and my grandkids love to have it read to them.
