Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

With its simple rhyming text, vibrant pictures, "peekaboo" windows, and small board-book format, Ready, Set, Go! is ideal for curious young minds and hands. On alternating two-page spreads, the words "ready/set" are repeated, opposite an illustrated page with a die-cut hole. Readers guess what's behind each window, then turn the page to discover the text ("ROW!," "BLOW," "GROW!" etc.) and charming illustrations of a comically desperate sailor oaring away from circling sharks, a little girl blowing luminous bubbles. There's also a fantastic spinning flower that changes from yellow to purple with the turn of a tab. The book is sturdy enough to withstand the many happily clutching fingers that are bound to make their way into the baby-fist-size holes. For more peekaboo fun, investigate Nina Laden's Peek-a Who?. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Simple repetitive text presents the phrase, "Ready/Set," and a word that rhymes with "go." None of the concepts are related, but the illustrations clearly represent the words: go, blow, row, snow, and grow. The only exception is the picture for "THROW!" which is not well rendered. The cartoon people appear flat and awkward, but the objects are effectively drawn. The format will attract toddlers. Beginning with the cover, every other recto page has a circle cut out of the center; youngsters handling the book will enjoy the tactile sensation of exploring the shape as well as the excitement of a peek at the next page. Unfortunately, though the whole book is sturdily built, the last page ("GROW!"), in which a sliding tab reveals a purple flower in place of a yellow sun, is more flimsy and requires the manual dexterity of an older child.

Great book and author

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2005

I have been reading this book to my daugher, who is now 15 mos. old, since she was a baby. She always wants to read Nina Laden's books, even now when she's going through a stage of only wanting to read a certain few of her many, many books. This book has circular "cut-outs" in the middle of the page to see through and it is very easy for the babies to turn the pages themselves, especially since board book pages seem harder to pull apart and turn. The last page is "grow" featuring a flower that you can make the petals appear and disappear. My daughter loves this part, but I must say it is very delicate and easily torn...she has already wrecked it (and we're pretty careful) so were buying another book!

Almost Perfect

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2006

We own "Peek-a-Who", "Grow Up" and "Roberto, the Insect Architect" also written by Laden, and we LOVE them all. This one is just as good, although the little growing flower feature at the very end of the book is not durable and was ripped off soon after we purchased the book. We still love it and read it all the time, though. As we turn each page, our boys hopefully anticipate what creative and fun illustration they'll see next. The books read so fluidly and easily that my little boys (1,3,5 yrs old) memorize the words and rhyme along with us as we read them. We have given these books as gifts every year for Christmas and birthdays and the recipients have equally enjoyed them. I typically recycle books(out with the old and in with the new) but these are in our collection to stay.

Another great Nina Laden (Peek-a-Who)

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014

Everyone knows Peek-a-Who? But Nina Laden has also written some other fabulous stuff. This is no exception. We also have and love her Grow Up book and Button Nose cloth book. Highly recommend for 6+ months though they were our son's absolute favorites 10-18 months!!

My 17 month old has loved her peek a who book for ages, so I got her this one, too. She likes to grab the pages by the hole in the middle, and I get a giggle every time I wiggle one of my fingers thru them. The rhymes are fun, too. :)

Good book, watch what vender you are getting it from!

Love this book, which is why I gave it 4stars. However, I didn't realize I was buying it used! I paid $4 for something I would have paid .50 for at a garage sale. It was written all over and had a torn page!

Frustrating "tab" on last page doesn't work!

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2009

Verified Purchase

The book is cute in general, but the last page is very poorly made. I couldn't get the 'tab' to work, and ended up ripping the thing. Extremely frustrating, and I'm 31, not 6 months old!
