Just found out about Sandra Boynton!

WOW. I have now bought all of Sandra's "Little Pookie" books. I first bought her book shopping when i saw the word "Pookie." That is my husband and i's pet name for eachother (Please dont judge...It started as a joke and well....It stuck)....Anyways, After reading my five year old the first one. Laughing and him pleading with me to read it again...and again....and well...again..I bought all her "Pookie" books. My son is five and loves everything boy. I mean Transformers, Bakugan, Pokeman, Dinosaurs...and so on. But these simple little books has my son just laughing the entire time! Thank You. I must now find out about her other books to see how wonderful they are!

Purchased for sons 1st birthday.

We have many books from this author that are favorites of my 3yr old as well. Book new, intact and arrived quickly along with the plush frog I purchased separately (in the book the character gets a fuzzy frog for his birthday).

Another great one from Sandra Boynton

I've been reading Sandra Boynton to my son since he was born and we just love her work! This is another in the series of Little Pookie, a great character that helps little guys (or girls) figure out how to express feelings. Sandra Boynton can write for a child while still amusing adults. Get this one for your little Pookie for his/her birthday. You won't regret it.

This may sound dumb, but I'm a single mom and there is ...

This may sound dumb, but I'm a single mom and there is a line referencing daddy helping with breakfast... As soon as I saw that I knew I wouldn't be keeping it. I don't want to read a book to my child that references a father that is nonexistent in his life. Aside from this, the book did not spark much interest in me, it's rather dull.

This was a cute little gift to give to a one year old at my daughter's daycare. Sandra Boynton stories are always adorable. She has a series of Little Pookie books.
