Open Very Carefully: A Book with Bite Hardcover – 26 February 2013

A lovely book that breaks the fourth wall and interacts with the child! Not to mentioning has great illustrations and is a delight to read! A must buy

This is an awesome book with beautiful illustrations. My 3 year old fell in love with it and asks this to be read to frequently.

I love this book! It’s very clever, engaging and fun to read. When I’ve read it, the children have loved it too.

I purchased the book because we like Nicola O’Byrne’s books. The idea of the book is definitely something new and the illustrations are very pretty, too. Still, it’s not our favorite! My daughter rarely wants me to read it to her…As I’ve purchased the book for only 3€, I don’t mind that much but I’d be unhappy if I had payed more than that!

Muy buen libro, muy original

My 2 and 3 year old love this book! It’s a favorite here.

My 4 year old grandson adores this book. The general concept is that the narrator is reading a different, more traditional, story when... a Crocodile appears! Now... How do we usher him out of our story? This involves several interactive ploys that keep a youngster excited and interested, For the most part the book is easy to read aloud with the sort of rhythm and voice range that appeals to little ears. We had to arrive very early for Pre-K one morning and brought books to fill the time. We were reading this when the others began arriving and I quickly acquired a rapt audience. My grandson's First Steps therapists stressed anticipation and repetition as being important learning tools and there's certainly anticipation here. He's usually yelling 'It's a crocodile!' before I can turn the page. The crocodile escape gimmick is a physical hole in the back of the book. This feature beckons to little fingers so you might consider re-enforcing the opening as it will likely get bent and tear.
