Snuggle Puppy! (Boynton on Board)
A great big hug in book form, "Snuggle Puppy" is a year-round valentine from parent to child. It is bright, chunky, a pleasure to hold, and has a die-cut cover that reveals a glimpse of the joy inside before it's even opened. Best of all, it's packed, of course, with pure Boynton: her inimitable language, her inimitable illustrations, her inimitable sense of fun.

"A great big hug in board book form" says the description. Let me reassure you, my husband likes this book so it can't be as cheesy as it sounds.
We started this book with my son when he was about six months old, and it kept his attention well because most of the book is a song. If you care about these things, there's apparently a youtube video to teach you the tune. I think it's more fun to make it up as you go, although then the poor kid might get confused as mom, dad, and nana each have a diff...more

This review consists of two parts: 1. my review (Mom's) and 2. my son's review of this book (he's 5).
Son Says: I find this book interesting because the Mommy dog talks to her Baby dog and the dogs stand up on their two feet but they don't actually do that in real life. My Mommy sings this song to me and I like it. They bake cookies in the book and the puppy likes them. The Mommy dog must really love her puppy because she keeps saying it throughout the book.

This is Charlotte's current favorite book. The whole book is rhyming, and it is supposed to be a song, so both Daddy and I made up our own tune for when we read it to her. Even though there aren't many pages, and there seems to be a higher word count per page than a lot of Charlotte's other favorites, she still loves it. I think it's a combination of us singing it to her, and that it is full of Sandra Boynton illustrations.

This is probably my favorite book to read to my kids. My daughter loved it from the time she was about 18 months old until she was 4. My son started enjoying it around the same time.
It's great because there are certain parts where the kids recognize the letters and know what to say (OOOOOOOOO means it's time to howl). Like most Boynton books, this one is told with a fun rhythm that keeps the kids enthralled and interested. You can read it multiple times and the kids don't get bored with it. If y...more

This is one of our favorite books. I started reading it to my son when he was three or four months old. He is 6 now, and my daughter is 4, and they both still love this book. I made up my own little tune to it and sometimes they just ask me to "sing the Snuggle Puppy" song at random times throughout the day. It creates opportunities for kisses, hugs, and giggles -- what could be better?

Sandra Boynton, Snuggle Puppy! (Workman Publishing, 2003)
Another book (viz. Barnyard Dance) adapted from a song on the Philadelphia Chickens album Boynton released in 2002. It's relatively new to the household (a couple of weeks), so I haven't had a chance to see what's going to happen over time, but for the moment it's still high up on the list of bedtime rotation books—the usual cute illustrations, though I need to get round to listening to the song to find out how the rhythm's supposed to wor...more

Cute little board book perfect for reading with your own little Snuggle Puppy. Illustrations show a mom and her little Snuggle Puppy going through their day together while she "sings" to her little one how much he (or she) is loved.

I bought this book for my oldest when she was tiny... and she never had the patience for it or any other book! I LOVED it so much and I forced her to sit (sit being a relative term for my youngest...) countless times. I sang it on the way to daycare... and throughout my day. Even now, OH SNUGGLE PUPPY OF MINE is ringing in my ears. Another fun book for me! I hope my youngest will enjoy it now that she is getting into books!
Part of my program includes an English class where we examine children's books, and this was one read in class. I loved the homey atmosphere of the book and it was great for a parent to read to their child at bed time. However, although repetition is great for the kids, the repetition for the adult might be a bit annoying. Not one of those books you want children to get attached to and have you read it to them every single night.
Once again Sandra Boynton draws her reader into a complicated web of government cover-ups and edge of your seat action! Throwing all care and concern for his own well-being, our protaganist dives head first into the world of back alley deals and empire destroying espionage. . . Actually, it's really just about a fuzzly little snuggle puppy and how much his Mom loves him. This book rules.
This was one of my son's favorites when he was very small. It's now becoming one of my daughter's most treasured reads. We initially made up our own tune, but we then received a CD with the actual song. We love to sing this as a family in the car, while we cuddle getting ready for bed, or just because....
"...I love what you are, I love what you do, ooohhhhh, I love you!"
"...I love what you are, I love what you do, ooohhhhh, I love you!"

A book that I used to read to my son when he was much much younger, but he elected to pick it off the shelves and read it to me.
It's a fun song, really, sung from the perspective of a mother singing to her child. It encourages the performer to be loud, rambunctious, and affectionate. And really, you can't go wrong with that.

My daughter is 3 months old and she LOVES Snuggle Puppy! We've just started reading time as a part of her bedtime routine and this book holds her attention more than any other. You can tell she likes the song and is captivated by the images. As many other reviewers have said, it's fun to make up your own tune to the song.
Just got it at Half Price Books today, and what a fun book and song! I have it stuck in my head after only reading the book and listening to the song a couple of times. So sweet...I can't wait till Annabelle is a little older to really get into reading and singing it together. :)
I adore this book. It is such a fun read and both my children who are 4 years apart get so excited to sing the song. Boynton really knows her audience and writes with them in mind. The song involves movement, sound play, and a whole lot of fun. What more can you ask for?
Oh, dear--I see many people loved this book but I am afraid it just didn't strike a chord with me. The illustrations are cute and the concept is nice--a parent reaffirming his/her love for child through a little song--but I suppose I preferred other books along that theme more.
We got this book for our second birthday from our Aunt Marla, and we loved it right away! Mama has made up her own song to go with the words, and we know it by heart. We love to "read" this book to ourselves, and to have Mama read it to us, complete with kisses.
I've read this book so many times to a catchy little tune to my son that he will pick up the book and start to "sing" it as he "reads it". This is one of his favorites reads before bed, or whenever he wants to sit and snuggle with Mom or Dad.
Excellent book (for kids of course) and it's fun to make up your own melody to the words... which then get stuck in your head forever. Great for reading aloud to your little one because it also gets you lots of kisses throughout the story.
A cute board book that takes the "Snuggle Puppy" song from Sandra Boynton's Philadelphia Chickens book. It's illustrated with Sandra Boynton's inimitable cartoon characters and is a fun way to sing the song together with your child.
Not my fave boynton book. I like the "I love what you are and I love what you do" statement but I didn't really getting into singing the book. Also Snuggle Puppy isn't really a nickname I plan to use, if it were I might like it more.
The only thing I don't like about this book is that the mommy dog is baking sweets for her puppy... it is a psychological thing: don't want my kids associating my love for them with food. Otherwise it is a VERY cute book that we enjoy!

Nice little Boyton book, full of her rhymes and whimsical drawings. Sometimes the text is too long for the younger child'a attention. If you are so inclined, you can pick up the Philidelphia Chickens CD which has the song vesion on it.
We enjoyed making up a tune for the actual song in the book, but my children didn't find the illustrations particularly engaging. We did have fun reading it aloud and have since sung the catchy song a few times without the book.
I love this book! SSSOOOOOO CUTEEEE! One of my favorite books and definitely my favorite book to read to the kids I nanny. We sing the song and always have to end with a hug and kiss! So cute! Perfect for every family.
A great gift for Valentine's Day, especially when paired with the little stuffed Snuggle Puppy. It's also a great book to read any day, as it tells in happy rhyme of the love a parent feels for a child. Cheerful, colorful illustrations.
I LOVE THIS BOOK! I have made up a little tune to go with the reading of this book and torment my daughter with it each time we read it. What a WONDERFUL book to remind your child that you LOOOOOVE them! :)
