How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Joseph Dewey
5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent beginning book that stood the test of time
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2014
This is an awesome book. It was originally published in 1973, and I remember reading it as a kid. Now that I've studied childhood development and learning theory a bit, I'm surprised at how well that this book applies many now standard teaching concepts. It really stands the test of time. Most of this book is about contrasts, big vs small, red vs green, upstairs vs downstairs, skiing vs skating. I like how it showed friendship and that the dogs were trying to accomplish things by going on vacation.

The version I'm reviewing is a small board book, which has very thick pages and is only about as big as my hand. This small format works, but there are other versions that are much bigger.

Pros:
+Lots of contrasts
+Excellent way to introduce many concepts to kids
+Fun story
+Great artwork

Cons:
-Why do they need a bird to tell them how to solve their problems?
-Why did they ski all day without thinking about where they would stay the night until it started getting dark?

3.0 out of 5 starsTiny board book fits in my hand, this size is not for babies 🙄
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2021
I really thought the book would be bigger because it’s a board book for babies. This book is literally the size of my hand!!! The words are so small there no way a baby can even see the pictures unless it’s held right up in their face…how is this practical? 🙄

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok but not SO catchy.
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2008
Some of the bright and early board book series are brilliantly catchy and rhythmic, this one is simple and cute but not a real attention grabber. Quite good for showing opposites and new words though.
