Row, Row, Row Your Boat (Baby Boardbooks)

Our 9 month old Emma is a row, row, row your boat fan. She will hum along and when we say "the end", she turns the book over again and looks at us expecting to start over and over and over and...............you get the idea. Terrific book!

I bought this book for my son when he was about 12 months old. It immediately became his favorite book...he loved for me to read/sing it to him before bedtime. He's now 20 months old and still has me singing it to him almost everyday. He loves to flip the pages with me and study the drawings of the babies. The art work is absolutely wonderful. He usually only goes for books with real life pictures, but this one is an exception. When I first picked up this book I thought, "Doesn't this song only have 2 verses...it might get old real quick." But I was pleasantly surprised to see there was much more to it...we love sharing the new verses to this old favorite with other kids...they love it too!

My daughter loves this book. The illustrations are engaging because they are simple. When we read this one it is never just once. This is a get excited playtime book, not a bedtime book.

This book is so simple, yet so perfectly done. It has been a favorite of both my son and my niece from about 12 months on (he's now 19 months and still loves this book). It's almost impossible to "read" this book without breaking into jovial song -- "Rock, Rock, Rock your boat, Gently down the stream, If you see a crocodile, Don't forget to scream!" (there's one more verse but I won't give it away) The book is larger than most of our other board books and has wonderful illustrations of happy babies acting out the lyrics. I have found that my son pays attention and enjoys having books read to him most when the books are rhymes or songs (otherwise he prefers pointing out things he knows by name in the illustrations, but doesn't care so much to hear the story). This book has been a real winner in our house. I highly recommend it as a first birthday gift to any baby whose parents like to sing to him/her.

This is one of my kid's favorite books! (along with Charles Fuge's, "My Dad") My 1 yr. old twins just love to sit and read this book themselves, or have me read it to them. The pictures are colorful, simple, and captivating, and being a familiar song (with a couple of new verses!), it's great!! I would definitely encourage any parent whose looking for a great book to read to their young children to pick this one up.
