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....more

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 w...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 is the BEST author of children's books for this generation.

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!"

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.

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. :)
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.
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.

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.
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.
My daughter LOVES this book! (She is currently 20 months.) When I mention the book title, she runs and gets it. When I start reading (no matter where we are) she'll start giving kisses! SOOO cute!
AS we have board book time with the babies, I note that this is one of the Boynton books that we have more than one copy of - because it's funny, sweet, sing-songish, and all about LOVE!
This book inspired my wife and I to sing to our child on a regular basis. Rather than "ooooh, snuggle puppy of mine" we sing "oooooh, june-bug of mine". Fun stuff.
This is the song I sing to my boys at bedtime. I'll be forever grateful to Ms. Boynton for this wonderful song and all the memories of singing it with my kids.
Honestly, Boynton's style isn't always my favorite, but this sing-songy book is so fun. My little boy likes it and I like to read it to him.
I bought this to give to my husband for Valentines Day but I ended up using it for my preschool storytime. It was a huge success.
a favorite of Max's, probably because i sing it (you're supposed to, right?) and he is the only person in the world who loves my singing.
My kids and I love Sandra Boynton board books! This one my kids love to have me sing to it instead of just reading it.
Simeon's current favorite book. We read it at least 3 times each night. He now makes the kissie noises at the end ;)
the first book that i loved. mom sang this on my first airplane ride to calm me down. over and over and over again.
This is the first book Miles loved. he doesn't care much for it lately, but boy did he love love it a few months ago.
No idea how the actual song is supposed to go, but Leo adores when we sing our version of it to him.
Boynton is a favorite of Tess' which she passed along to my kids--I think it is the animal appeal :-)
My son likes this book. I cannot get into "song" as I could with Barnyard Dance or Pajama Time.
My daughter requests this before bed A LOT! It's a really cute book for kids 1 year and up.
One of Boynton's song/book combos. We read this one when we were visiting with Zack and Talia.
