Helen Oxenbury's illustrations have fascinated me since I was a baby。 the fact that they still do says something。 I might be biased。 I love it anyway。 Helen Oxenbury's illustrations have fascinated me since I was a baby。 the fact that they still do says something。 I might be biased。 I love it anyway。 。。。more

Cute, colorful and short read that can turn into an interactive read。 Will be in my future classroom。

This book is really short and doesn’t have a lot of words in it。 I feel like it’s definitely for younger kids but I don’t think I would read it unless we just needed like a little cool down or something。 I what I do like about the book is that I see all different types of babies in the book from。 The book shows African American babies, Asian babies, and Caucasian babies。 I think that’s important because it helps to feel a part of a relate to a group when you see representation。 Maybe while readi This book is really short and doesn’t have a lot of words in it。 I feel like it’s definitely for younger kids but I don’t think I would read it unless we just needed like a little cool down or something。 I what I do like about the book is that I see all different types of babies in the book from。 The book shows African American babies, Asian babies, and Caucasian babies。 I think that’s important because it helps to feel a part of a relate to a group when you see representation。 Maybe while reading it out loud I’d emphasize the actions and having the kids do what the kids in the book are doing。 。。。more
Wow。 Four pages, two sentences。 Someone got paid to write this。

My 10 month old son enjoyed the large-format pictures and sing-song text of this library selection (and I love the diversity represented in its illustrations), but we couldn't help wishing it was just a little longer。 My 10 month old son enjoyed the large-format pictures and sing-song text of this library selection (and I love the diversity represented in its illustrations), but we couldn't help wishing it was just a little longer。 。。。more

My daughter's favorite book, we've read this at least 5 times each day we had it checked out of the library and now bought it to have at the ready at home。 Seriously it's only 4 pages and I end up singing and doing sound effects for each page so it's like a party。。。and of course Mommy's got it memorized now >_> My daughter's favorite book, we've read this at least 5 times each day we had it checked out of the library and now bought it to have at the ready at home。 Seriously it's only 4 pages and I end up singing and doing sound effects for each page so it's like a party。。。and of course Mommy's got it memorized now >_> 。。。more
Pam,
See this book is geared toward very young children, but I still love it now that my babies aren't babies anymore。 The simple rhyme and great pictures make it something I won't part with。 See this book is geared toward very young children, but I still love it now that my babies aren't babies anymore。 The simple rhyme and great pictures make it something I won't part with。 。。。more

Jaime Johnson,
All Fall Down is a picture book with a few words on some of the pages。 From the pictures, I understood that book as a group of kids that are all playing with each other that are jumping on a bed and then they all fall down。 In the pictures, you notice that all the little kids are different ethnicities and they're all playing together and getting along。 I recommend this book to parents who read stories to their kids。 It's a book that introduces children to different races at such a young age and All Fall Down is a picture book with a few words on some of the pages。 From the pictures, I understood that book as a group of kids that are all playing with each other that are jumping on a bed and then they all fall down。 In the pictures, you notice that all the little kids are different ethnicities and they're all playing together and getting along。 I recommend this book to parents who read stories to their kids。 It's a book that introduces children to different races at such a young age and the pictures show these children playing and having fun with each other。 I really enjoyed the pictures and the deeper message the book was portraying。 With this book, kids will start to understand different races at a young age。 。。。more
Ashley Fortson,
This book is a good book for younger grades。 It flows easily and is short so it will keep the children's attention。 I would use this book for a kindergarten class。 They don't like to sit still and this book is pretty short and has some neat illustraions。 This book is a good book for younger grades。 It flows easily and is short so it will keep the children's attention。 I would use this book for a kindergarten class。 They don't like to sit still and this book is pretty short and has some neat illustraions。 。。。more

I have read this TOO MANY times。 But I give it as a baby gift because it was one of the first books each of my kids loved。 They would act it out, all the way to the end and "all fall down。" I have read this TOO MANY times。 But I give it as a baby gift because it was one of the first books each of my kids loved。 They would act it out, all the way to the end and "all fall down。" 。。。more

Helen Oxenbury's board books were highly recommended in another book I was reading (both possible titles were too long to write here)。 I wasn't that impressed。 I had read Ten Fingers and Ten Toes (I think that's the title), back before Natalie was born, and didn't like the illustrations。 I still am not found of the look of the babies。 The illustrations are nice big close ups of babies playing, but they just weren't for me。 I'd prefer photographs than this style。 The text were simple and rhymed, Helen Oxenbury's board books were highly recommended in another book I was reading (both possible titles were too long to write here)。 I wasn't that impressed。 I had read Ten Fingers and Ten Toes (I think that's the title), back before Natalie was born, and didn't like the illustrations。 I still am not found of the look of the babies。 The illustrations are nice big close ups of babies playing, but they just weren't for me。 I'd prefer photographs than this style。 The text were simple and rhymed, but didn't make me laugh or connected or anything。 Maybe it is because these books are intended for infants, and I waited too long to try to share them with Natalie。 。。。more

Board bookFor babies-toddlersA group of diverse babies sings, runs, bounces, and falls down in a short, large format board book。With a minimum of rhythmic text, the emphasis in this large and colorful board book is on the babies。 "Singing all together, running round and round, bouncy, bouncy, on the bed, all fall down," reads the text, and a group of babies follow along。 Babies and young children will find appeal in Oxenbury's round-faced, contented babies, and the sense of movement and fun will Board bookFor babies-toddlersA group of diverse babies sings, runs, bounces, and falls down in a short, large format board book。With a minimum of rhythmic text, the emphasis in this large and colorful board book is on the babies。 "Singing all together, running round and round, bouncy, bouncy, on the bed, all fall down," reads the text, and a group of babies follow along。 Babies and young children will find appeal in Oxenbury's round-faced, contented babies, and the sense of movement and fun will inspire them to imitate the activities。 Larger than most board books, and short but sweet, this is perfectly suited to its audience。School Library Journal's review has an odd focus on the potential downside of the large format - babies having difficulty manipulating the pages alone - but concludes it would be a good book for parents and babies to share。 。。。more
