Spot Visits His Grandparents

My toddler daughter loves this book. She enjoys the pictures and themes (grandparents and grandchild spending quality time together) and routinely selects this book herself. This Spot book has large lift-the-flaps which makes it easy for even a baby to manipulate. Through repetition and pictures, my daughter has learned words such as dog, ball, and bird. I have been pleased that she has learned new words from the book, and I also enjoy the story itself which reminds me of the innocent time of childhood summers with grandparents!

Although `Where's Spot' is my son's absolute favourite book, this did not meet with the same degree of enthusiasm. That's not to say he doesn't like it, just not as much as `Where's Spot?' ... maybe it's the repetitive text in that one or maybe the novelty value was worn down, but both `Spot goes to the Farm' and `Spot Visits his Grandparents' seem to work as a "side-dish" for him i.e. only good alongside `Where's Spot', though does read both more often than most of his other books. All in all, I'd say buy this book, but with `Where's Spot?'

My baby daughter loves Spot and she really seemed to enjoy this story. Cute pictures and a sweet story combine for a good reading experience.

We are first graders and we LOVE the Spot books! Our names are Philicia Swanson, Anderson Davis, James Renford, Ann Marie Remacle, and Derek Curry. Our favorite Spot book is Spot Visits His Grandparents. Philicia and Ann Marie like the part when Spot shows Mom her ball from when she was a puppy. James, Derek, and Anderson like the part when Spot throws the ball and the window breaks. We hope Eric Hill will write 100 more Spot Lift-the-Flap books!!!!!
