Curious George Pat-A-Cake Board book – September 13, 2011

Our 1 yr old granddaughter loved it!! Very cute

Baby Loved the Book!

Super cool book!

This is adorable. I didn’t pay attention to the size and thought it was going to be one of those tiny puppet board books. But it’s much larger and has cute variations of pat a cake verses.

This book & puppet are a nice size. I am pleased with it BUT I would prefer that it had the traditional nursery rhyme.

I use this book in my work with developmentally delayed toddlers. These kiddos LOVE this book! Even kids who won't look at any other book will at least turn a page or two of this book. I should add that I usually don't use puppets with kids at this developmental level but the way these hands clap seem to be very engaging to kids in the 18 month-2.5 year range (remember these kids are delayed so younger kids may also enjoy it).I sometimes do Pat-a-cake with "George" but other times I just make the hands clap and say "yay" or make him wave and say "hi!" I'm trying to get any response out these kids. They ALL smile, they all attend for a bit of time, and a lot of them try to hug George. Sweet~The book itself has some new takes on "pat-a-cake". The kids I work with can relate to the b-day cake, balloons, but not so much to the mailbox. I usually just stick to traditional pat-a-cake but the new versions are cute.

So cute! I didn't realize that you can use your fingers to work George's arms to make him play patty cake! Nice thick cardboard, bright colors, and George is so soft!

My little boy adores this book. The first page is the original patty cake song, but the other three pages are adorable variations of it. There are such cute drawings on each page, and the monkey puppet is so lovable. Highly recommended!
