Book Reviews of Boynton's Greatest Hits: Volume II (The Going to Bed Book, Horns to Toes, Opposites, But Not the Hippopotamus)
Book Review: Lots of Fun for One Low Price
Summary: 4 Stars
I couldn't decide on one, so I bought the whole set. My 2-1/2 year-old granddaughter loves these little books, but her favorite is "But Not the Hippopatomus." She had it memorized in no time. Her least favorite is "The Going to Bed Book," which was my original choice, hoping it would make her settle down and want to sleep at bedtime... No such luck! It's a little strange: a bunch of critters on a boat get ready for bed, including doing exercises before turning in for the night. "Opposites" is cute and educational, as is "Horns to Toes." They are all quick reads with cute illustrations. The four books fit neatly into a little box, and my granddaughter enjoys putting them back into the box when she has finished reading them. They are tough board books that will last long enough for her soon-to-be-born sister to read, too.

Summary of Boynton's Greatest Hits: Volume II (The Going to Bed Book, Horns to Toes, Opposites, But Not the Hippopotamus)
The thinking's not fuzzy in these board books, but the animals certainly are. Sandra Boynton's familiar furry creatures introduce simple concepts in this bright collection of four books, replete with clever line drawings. In Horns and Toes and In Between, three horned monsters teach the parts of the body in rhyme: "...and we have a fuzzy TUMMY that we all like to pat / and a little BELLY BUTTON in the middle of that." The Going to Bed Book gets a Noah's Ark of animals organized for bed: "They hang their towels on the wall / and find pajamas, big and small." Opposites is just that: cute animals "high and low / fast and slow / heavy and light / day and night." In the rhyming reader But Not the Hippopotamus, a hippo finds himself on the outs as "a cat and two rats are trying on hats. / But not the hippopotamus. / A moose and a goose together have juice. / But not the hippopotamus." Rest assured the hippo finds love at the end. (Baby to preschool) --Claire DedererGeneral Books
