My kids all loved this book at around 2。 All of them would “read” it to me from memory。 They loved the Oops and would fall into giggles
Little Ducky,
I love it when my brother reads this book to me。 I think it's pretty silly and like to say "oops" along with that goofy turkey。 👶 I love it when my brother reads this book to me。 I think it's pretty silly and like to say "oops" along with that goofy turkey。 👶 。。。more

Great simple book with repetition of some basic colors, as well as articles of clothing (and animals, of you go beyond actual text)。 Lots of practice for my toddler learning vocabulary as well as practicing some sign language。 Plus, as with all Boynton's stories, there's a goofy element as well。 Great simple book with repetition of some basic colors, as well as articles of clothing (and animals, of you go beyond actual text)。 Lots of practice for my toddler learning vocabulary as well as practicing some sign language。 Plus, as with all Boynton's stories, there's a goofy element as well。 。。。more

Cute Boynton book。 Not as fun to read out loud as some of the others with more rhythm, but Lily liked all the "oops。" Cute Boynton book。 Not as fun to read out loud as some of the others with more rhythm, but Lily liked all the "oops。" 。。。more

It is a cute book to teach colors with a little bit of humor。

My 3y/o can’t stop giggling and it’s the only book she can “read” by herself which has been building her confidence。 She is not as obsessed with books as the rest of us so it has been the perfect book to draw her in。
Crystal ✬ Lost in Storyland,
A fun read that introduces colors and articles of clothing。 (Note: This book is a translation of the original 1984 English edition。)
Mama Bean,
Leave it to Boynton to take the simplest, almost too-stupid-to-write concept and turn it into a brilliant book。 My 2。5 yo can't get enough of this one! She loves to "read" it herself, which she can, because the text is so incredibly simple。I laughed so hard with this one。 Nobody draws turkeys like Sandra Boynton。 Leave it to Boynton to take the simplest, almost too-stupid-to-write concept and turn it into a brilliant book。 My 2。5 yo can't get enough of this one!

This is a great book for an older toddler, I think the optimum age is about 2。5。 My 18 month old is starting to pick out colors and name clothing items, but she 100% doesn't get the joke。 Every time I read it I feel like a comedian bombing in front of a packed theater。 That said, it's a cute book with a lot to teach。 I'm not sure het illustrations of animals are recognizable to a toddler's eyes, but I'm a fan of Sandra Boynton's in general。 This is a great book for an older toddler, I think the optimum age is about 2。5。 My 18 month old is starting to pick out colors and name clothing items, but she 100% doesn't get the joke。 Every time I read it I feel like a comedian bombing in front of a packed theater。 That said, it's a cute book with a lot to teach。 I'm not sure het illustrations of animals are recognizable to a toddler's eyes, but I'm a fan of Sandra Boynton's in general。 。。。more

A great way to teach colors。 The best way to teach is when the learning is hidden in the silly。
David,
Boynton books are so ubiquitous it makes them less appealing BUT they generally really are pleasant and engaging for my little one。 This one is particularly fun because it has some very cute illustrations of logic。 On each page animals model a clothing and a turkey always wears the clothing wrong and says "OOPS"。 So you get pages that list things like "Blue Hat (illustration = animal correctly wearing blue hat), Green Hat (illustration = animal correctly wearing green hat), Yellow Hat (illustrat Boynton books are so ubiquitous it makes them less appealing BUT they generally really are pleasant and engaging for my little one。 This one is particularly fun because it has some very cute illustrations of logic。 On each page animals model a clothing and a turkey always wears the clothing wrong and says "OOPS"。 So you get pages that list things like "Blue Hat (illustration = animal correctly wearing blue hat), Green Hat (illustration = animal correctly wearing green hat), Yellow Hat (illustration = animal correctly wearing yellow hat, OOPS!

My 1。5 year-old child loves this book。 It's great for learning colors and clothing names, but my child's favorite part are the oops。 He laughs historically at the oops。 I'm glad he enjoys this book。 He even looks through the book on his own and laughs。 My 1。5 year-old child loves this book。 It's great for learning colors and clothing names, but my child's favorite part are the oops。 He laughs historically at the oops。 I'm glad he enjoys this book。 He even looks through the book on his own and laughs。 。。。more
Goodreads and ME,
Blue Hat, Green Hat is board book by Sandra Boynton。 She uses silly animal characters to introduce primary colors (and purple) and items of clothing to children ages 3 months to 2 years。 The addition of a turkey that cannot dress himself correctly added to the humor。
Lara Bate,
My daughter LOVES this book。 Always laughs at how the moose dresses himself。

5。0 out of 5 stars You can't go wrongReviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018This is a really nifty book。My three-year-old actually doesn't even know his alphabet yet, but he reaches for this book right away at bedtime。And he does, in his own way, read it to us。 Complete with sound effects。It's only a single dollar for this book, plus shipping。 You can't go wrong。 5。0 out of 5 stars You can't go wrongReviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018This is a really nifty book。My three-year-old actually doesn't even know his alphabet yet, but he reaches for this book right away at bedtime。And he does, in his own way, read it to us。 Complete with sound effects。It's only a single dollar for this book, plus shipping。 You can't go wrong。 。。。more

One of Zeke’s favorites。 Poor Zeke always puts everything on backwards so he can truly relate to this book。
Elle,
This was the first book my kids learned how to read - at age 2。 A seemingly simple and almost overlooked hand-me-down board book turned out to be one of the most loved and teachable book we’ve owned。
Laurie,
This book had both of my toddlers cracking up! The repetition was perfect for my two year old to copy while "reading" on his own。 Also a great book to practice clothing signs。 This book had both of my toddlers cracking up!

What a great book
Rachel Guy,
I love children's books that serve multiple purposes。 In Sandra Boynton's "Blue Hat, Green Hat" there are colors, clothing, and fun! The first page opens with an elephant wearing a blue hat, a moose wearing a green hat, and a gopher-like animal wearing a red hat。 The final animal on the page is a turkey who has the hat in the ground with their feet in it and the word "Oops。" next to its illustration。 Once children know what is the "right" way to wear clothing and in which contexts, they find the I love children's books that serve multiple purposes。 In Sandra Boynton's "Blue Hat, Green Hat" there are colors, clothing, and fun!

Silly and thrilling。 But doesn’t rhyme。Does taste good according to my 7 month old。
