This is a great book to read to kids. It has a great story, wonderful pictures with clarity for a 1 yr old, yet enough detail that my 3 yr old still loves it every time. If you like dogs, you'll love this, and if you are going through a move, this book is a must for young kids.
Although we were not moving very far, I wanted to prepare my 3 year old with a book to which she could relate. Because we are animal lovers with a dog like Boomer, this book helped my child understand what was going on in her life. The book is told through a narrator in the dog's point of view. The illustrations are also at "dog-eye level." I looked at other books, but this one met my needs the most, because it tells the tale in a vantage point similar to my child's. My daughter is too young to really resist moving, but she didnt' "get" the idea that everything she owned would be coming with us and that the new house would be just as good if not better than the old. Boomer tells the story from a confused beginning to a happy ending once he discovers his new house has wonderful things for him to do and new friends to make. I highly recommend this book to help your little one's moving day transition.
My three year old loves this book and wanted to hear it over and over again while we were packing and again after we moved."Strangers" come to Boomers house and go through all the drawers and put everything in boxes. I hadn't seen anything about packers in a moving book before but imagine that could be very alarming to children so it is great to see Boomer go through it first. We didn't have packers as we packed ourselves this time, but my little one could definitely relate to a house full of boxes, the long drive to get to the new house and ending up in an unfamiliar place that contains your own things.Highly recommended. I also really like Usborne Moving House but that seems to be out of print now.
I searched high and low for an appropriate moving book to ease the transition for the in-house 1 1/2 year old. There were a few, but none hit the mark- until Boomer. From the point of view of a dog, moving looks like a disruption in routine, boxes and strangers, possessions missing, all the perspective a toddler would share without having to identify with another child in the story. Boomer's big day went very much like ours did and was great preparation for the changes. All the elements were there, including the aforementioned as well as the big van, paper everywhere, a weird ride, & a new house. Boomer saw what a child might see: a new front door, empty rooms, and a back yard with possibilities. Thanks, Constance McGeorge.
Great for 1-7 year olds but a little short and simplistic for older kids. A pleasant and positive story of a family's dog dealing with their move (by professional movers). I Wish I could find children's books about international moves. I'll keep looking, but this is a cute, basic intro to moving.
I bought this book for my four year old, Kaitlyn, and I to read since we will be moving twice in the next few months. We're moving from our house to an apartment while our new house is being built. And hopefully we'll be moving into the new house before Christmas. Since she's only four years old, she's been a little confused about the moves and thinks that we will have all new things (and toys!) in each new living space.So, I guess it would be fair to say that Kaitlyn identified well with Boomer the dog. She loved that he was clueless as to what was going on. The fact that movers came to pack Boomer's family's belongings up was a big plus for us, as we are having packers as well. Kaitlyn loved the illustrations (and I did too!), especially the faces Boomer and the family cat make as the move progresses.Boomer's Big Day was such a sweet book. I believe that it helped clarify a few confusing things about moving for Kaitlyn. Besides that, we both really enjoyed it! There are other Boomer books and we will definitely be reading more of his stories.
I enjoyed this story and I believe anyone who enjoys dog stories will also enjoy it. Well illustrated and flowed very well. The only thing I disliked was the tiny PRINT used and no way on an android that's most readers would know how to enlarge the print may find it very difficult to read as well. But otherwise it wad well done and so this is why I am giving the ebook five stars. I highly recommend this ebook though at this point with very good eye sight or older person too who loves a short dog story like I do.I received this ebook for free from an ebook email and in exchange for it here is my honest review. Good Job Constance!By Angela L.
Cute story, and my kids (ages 4 and 2) loved reading it. I don't know how well it really prepared them for our move, because they still struggled a lot afterwards, but it was a great jumping off point to talk about the move.
