All of the Jesse Bear board books are good, but according to my two-year-old, this one is the BEST: "Wiggle-jiggle jump-up, silly-willy prance." It makes him laugh out loud every single time. Can it get any better than that?
These books portray a normal, everyday life in a cozy, fun way. We like them.

Great book for a very young child. When I read this to my 15 month old I would touch his shirt, pants, shoes and socks when we came to each of those parts in the book. Very soon I found that he would do those actions himself as I read.

A simple board book that shows little ones how to get dressed and the fun of getting dressed! Your toddler will love the fun rhymes and easy to hold pages of this short and sweet board book.
