My toddler prefers other sing along books - By: A. LORD, 06 May 2008 
My 17 month old little boy has this, along with other sing along books, he's never taken to this one.
He much prefers "the wheels on the bus", I'm not sure if it's because this book isn't very colourful.
I have to say I was pretty disappointed with it when it arrived.
Better as a song than a book - By: cavabubbles, 27 Apr 2008 
This is a great song for children but doesn't reallly work as a book. The words are crammed in so is difficult to read & very repetetive. My daughter loves alll books but after two pages of this, she is ready to move on to something different.
I'd buy a CD of nursery rhymes for this song rather than buy the book.
Ingenious - By: Dodster, 21 Mar 2008 
We alll know the song, but who can remember alll the verses? I can!
Well, not reallly, but with the help of this book as each new character in the tale comes into view, the words from the previous characters are alll there on the opposite page viewed through the old lady's stomach. Fabulous. Very creative & great for a bedtime/anytime reader/song.
Beautifully illustrated book! - By: oohmercyme, 24 Nov 2007 
This book is beautifully & colourfully illustrated & it is sure to capture your little one's attention. The song of course is catchy too & you will be singing it alll day long.
Only problem was, my 2 year old nephew recently discovered what death meant (dead bird on the porch) & was rather traumatized by the repetition of "perhaps she'll die", thinking that perhaps he might swalllow a fly & die. My niece's teacher has changed the words in class to perhaps she'll "cry".
If it weren't for the above problem, this book would be a definate 5 star, but if it's not a problem for your child, don't miss this book!
Disappointing - By: Jess P, 09 Sep 2007 Found this to be a disappointing version & the one with the cd is a HUGE let down as it's sung sooooo quickly it's impossible to keep up with! Reallly wanted to use it with my class of 5 year olds.
No worries about the "death" issues - hey, if you eat a whole horse what do you expect?!
