    I am a Grandmother. When my daughter was in preschool, I read this book to her preschool class. They all got up and and had a ball following what the pages said to do. Needless to say, I didn’t embarrass my daughter and was a hit in her class. Now I am going to read this book I just ordered to my granddaughter in her preschool!
    Second generation and can’t be proud enough!!! I love this book because it is happy!!! Thank you for making wonderful memories with this book. A grateful mother and Grandmother.

    Our son (age 2 now, about 18 months when he first started really being able to play along) enjoyed this book so much at a friend's house that we had to buy one of our own, and we've given it as a gift to others, too. The pictures are fun and imaginative, and the simple rhyme is cute, but the real magic is in watching kids follow the book's instructions - turn around, find something red, growl like a lion, etc. They get to practice following directions, hone their motor skills, burn off some energy, and have a sense of accomplishment about doing all the actions - and, of course, the kids just think they're having fun! We love this book!

    OKay, so....I love this book. I have loved it for years since my now 10yr old would meet us in our bedroom with this book in tow, only to stand in the midst of our bed while we read this to her and she acted out the whole thing. It was a great bedtime ritual. You can imagine the wear and tear on that particular copy and so I decided to surprise her with a new copy, one she could keep forever. OKay...while I love the book, I should have read the description better because what I got was not the same copy of what I had....it is a board book. My mistake. However, it's actually a mistake that made sense upon it arriving. It is small, it's more durable since it's a board book and not pages that could wear over time and so it turns out this was a great memento type gift for her to keep and read to her own children. So, if you order this, pay attention to the format you choose. :)

    I knew this is a book I wanted to purchase because I had read with my daughter when she brought it home from her pre-school library. The illustrations are a tad weird, as other people have commented, but the actions are so cute. I look forward to reading this to my daughter and having her mimic the actions.

    Library binding option offered through Amazon is more like a regular hard cover book. I'm not so sure it's technically the library binding, because it's not as big and it doesn't have the cover sleeve like the one my daughter brought home from her school library. $10 may have been a more reasonable price for what ended up arriving at our door.

    This book does have a cover and is fully illustrated unlike the picture shows for the library binding option.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Einfach klasse für den Englischunterricht oder zu Hause
    Reviewed in Germany on March 18, 2002
    Ich unterrichte Englisch im Kindergarten und benutze fast ausschließlich "authentisches", also nicht speziell für den Unterricht entworfenes Material. Bevor ich "Clap your hands" ausprobierte, war ich skeptisch, ob meine anspruchsvollen Englischkurs-Kinder da wohl mitmachen. Und - sie fanden es klasse! Die Bilder sind so witzig, dass die Kleinen einfach mitmachen müssen. Auch komplexere Strukturen oder unbekannte Wörter haben sie anhand der Bilder und Reime einfach so akzeptiert. Tipp für den Einsatz in Gruppen: Die (kurzen) Texte auf Post-Its schreiben und an die Seiten heften, so dass die Lehrkraft/Vorturnerin/Erzieherin... die Bilder zeigen und gleichzeitig die Texte von hinten lesen kann.

    I found one of these years ago and my children loved it, they can join in some of the actions before they're truly mobile and it encourages them to get moving with a lot of fun involved. I bought this one for my cousin's 6mo daughter.
