If You See a Cow

My son loved lift the flap books when he was around one year old, and my daughter, who just turned one, has been "reading" them for the last couple months. Before that she just wasn't interested. This one is great, because some of the flaps lift to the side instead of straight up. She'll read it, then want to immediately read it again. The book includes phrases like 'If you see a cow, say "moo"' and 'If you see a cockrel, say "cock a dooddle-do"' (we change the word to rooster). Something else we change is 'If you see a Farmer say "How do you do?"' We change to 'say "Bye-Bye", and our daughter will wave, and try to say "Bye-bye". Another good lift the flap book is "If you see a Whale", which instead of sounds, like the Cow book, is motions, so "If you see a Whale, clap your hands". And finally, "Where is Baby's Belly Button?" is a really good one for learning body parts. All in all I'm very satisifed with the duribility. The flaps are fairly strong when baby doesn't know their own strength. I've had "If you see a Cow" for two years, and the flap on the last page is half missing (that being the only damage is amazing, considering how much we read this). "If you see a whale" did not last as long, but it was the first one I bought, and my son was interested in flap books at an earlier age, like 6 months old. He would chew on the book, and generally do his best to demolish it, but it enforced a love of books, which is priceless. I'm actually going to re-buy "If you see a whale" because I liked it so much. Its made by the same publishers, and if you only are going to get one, get the "Whale" one, but keep in mind that the "cow" one shouldn't be missed either!

My 13-month old son LOVES this book. He likes to lift flaps in general (he's "flapped" the flaps in Dinosaur's Binkit so many times, one of them fell off--I'm buying another one), and this book has BIG ones that are very easy for him to manipulate.A simple, wonderful book.

My kids have had so much fun with this one! The older kids love to read it to their younger siblings and the book is simple enough that the toddlers can remember what comes next -- and after several readings can "read" the entire thing.They act out the parts (in this particular book, it involves making animal sounds -- that's ALWAYS cute to hear the little ones do) and it's interactive, playful fun.I am VERY glad we bought this one!

It's a great flap book for toddlers. Large flaps, as big as my son's hands. My son loves making the animal noises and playing peek-a-boo with them. It's a short book, with only 5 flaps, but it's worth the price.

Your child can finish these sentences with moo, baa, and hi (complete with a wave). It holds their interest since they can lift the large flaps to find the animals.
