Miffy's Magnifying Glass

Well, me and my son love any and ALL Miffy and I found the surprise ending of this book HILARIOUS! It is really unexpected, but I thought that is one of the things that made it great. Poop is a part of every creature's everyday lives and it isn't something to see as taboo or shameful, ESPECIALLY in a simple, straight-forward, line-drawn form. Kids see dog butts and dog poop all the time if you ever let them outside of the house, so why is this such a big deal? This is a cute book! Dog butts, poop piles and everything else!

though some may think it is in poor taste or potty humor....we love it! i have bought it for others and they love it. simply put, it is funny. a child walking along trying to find whatever they can with their maginifier...it could happen!

My one year old daughter loves Miffy to the point where when she sees Miffy on her book or DVD, she sings the first two notes of the miffy theme song. We had to order Miffy so that she could be entertained when Miffy wasn't on Noggin and I have enjoyed the board books and DVD's, but I was quite surprised with this particular book. As you go through each page and see a part of the next page through the "magnifying glass", you never see the last page coming. Be prepared for a little potty humor in the end. Personally, I laughed, but I do find it a little strange to put a picture of a puppy who has pottied with a line about having an accident in a children's book. Evidently from people I have talked to about this, there are books out there completely about bodily functions for the youngest of age groups. Regardless of what I think about this book, the bottom line is my baby loves it and it keeps her entertained. She will bring it to me and insist I read it to her over and over until I have to distract her and hide it for a bit before we start the cycle again.
