Spot plans a special surprise to show his mom just how much he loves her.

Easter

Spot didn’t eat his dinner, so his mom goes looking for him. She looks in and under various places, finding other animals, until she finally finds where Spot is hiding.

Very cute and fun. The flaps are well-made and don’t tear. There’s a good variety of animals, not just the typical ones.My niece loves that she gets to yell “NO!” every time she opens a door, and making me do the animal noises.

Not my first time reading (longtime Spot fan), but I was today years old when I learned that this was the FIRST lift-the-flap book for kids. One of those things that you just don't think about being invented!

Nice flap book.

I find spot books too simple but kiddo loves this one and that's what counts

Spot the dog says goodnight to different animals.

Is he in the piano? Is he under the stairs? After finding other familiar animals, there he is in his basket!

I give this as a gift a lot. Simple fun of lifting flaps and getting surprised, even when you know the story backwards and forwards.

While I have read many spot books in my lifetime, I am not sure I have ever read the original Spot book. It is lovely to find a university library that has an original copy in almost pristine condition. It’s a lovely short lift the flap story that has stood the test of time and will continue to live on into the future.

good for 3-7 year olds, has flip ups with the object on one side and the word on the other side

Yikes, really insipid and boring. Painful for an adult to read to a child.½

God, these Spot books pain me with their utterly insipid illustrations and text. There is absolutely nothing in them for an adult to appreciate. My toddler keeps pulling them out of the board book bins, though, dammit, so I keep having to read them. Which I guess means they're appealing to the little folk. Which I guess means I have to compromise on my rating from "horrible" to "okay".

Fun, interactive book with flaps but not many words. I like to do different voices for all the "No"s.

Everyone on the classroom had a opportunity to show and tell so Spot wants to do a nice project for show and tell to his friends, and so does his monkey best friend.

Young readers can press the color coded key to hear one of four different tunes in this delightful board book. Charmingly illustrated, Spot appears in a colorful scene designed for each of the songs. A delight for readers, young and old alike.

The songs, all favorites of young children, include “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring,” “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep,” “Hickory Dickory Dock,” and “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”

Highly recommended.

Spot the dog meets all the farm animals on the farm.
