I love this book. I use this with my preschoolers and they stay entranced throughout the story. There is enough going on throughout the book that they can point out other things in addition to what is happening in the story. I can adapt this with the different age groups well.
I am a Pre-K director and buy many children's books. This was terrific! The first few times I sang it to my students, and after hearing it several times, they enjoyed singing it with me. I had no idea a book could be so much fun! I came on line to find other books by this author and I will most certainly buy the others for our nursery school library.
I teach music classes to preschoolers. This just might be my favorite story, but sometimes I have trouble holding it together when I sing the story! This is about a sweet little boy who does lots of nice things for others, and is rewarded at the end of the story with that doggie in the window. The kids love it!
I love this book! It is a great story based on the song "How Much is That Doggie in the Window?"A little boy wants the doggie in the window, but he doesn't have enough money to buy him. So he decides to try to earn money with a lemonade stand. However, his family has a rough week and he spends his money buying his family things to make them feel better, and by the end of the week he is broke. His parents however, secretly buy him the puppy since their son is so selfless and the little boy is over-joyed!All in all, this is a great story with a great moral!
The pictures in this book are really detailed and well-done. The author expands on the traditional song "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?" and adds verses that are clever and that teach financial responsibility (sort of). The basic story is this: a little boy wants to buy a dog so he decides to try to earn some more money than what he has. He ends up spending his money to help the individual members of his family instead. So at the end of the story when he goes back to the pet store and the dog is gone, he fears the worst. But then he goes home and the dog is there--his family members decided to spend their money on him and buy the dog. It's a very cute story and the author/illustrator has another book "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" that's just as cute; we own them both.
I had purchased this as a Christmas present for one of my grandsons, along with a stuffed wind up puppy who plays the same song. It was a big hit that his mom or siblings read to him every night. It's a gift that keeps on giving. I would recommend it to anyone who likes to read to their kids.
Iza Trapani's books are definitely a favorite in our household, we have purchased many of them. "How Much is That Doggie in the Window" and "Row Your Boat" are my absolute 2 favorites!! They are catchy and fun, can be sung, and the artwork is spectacular! This book will be one that is saved for generations to come.
This old favorite is presented in a beautiful way. The pictures are vibrant and the rendition of the song is delightful. My granddaughter is 10 months old and LOVES this book because we sing and read. Fun for all ages.
