Book Reviews of Kids Go!
Book Review: Great fun, TMBG-style
Summary: 5 Stars
There isn't as much to this package as there was to Bed, Bed, Bed, I admit -- just one book and one DVD, featuring one song with an animated video. But it's very charming. The song is, of course, ridiculously catchy and fun, and the book illustrates the lyrics in a wonderfully dynamic way, almost bringing the DVD to life on the pages. The drawings by Pascal Campion have a lively looseness that reminds me of the style of Roy McKie, one of my favorite children's illustrators. And of course, the lyrics are brilliant; we would expect no less of the two Johns.
If you've never exposed your child to the joys of TMBG, I would start with Here Come the ABCs or Here Come The 123s. If your kids are already fans, this will be a great addition to your collection. But with lyrics like "If you're still not standing up, then get up now and go, go, go, GO, GO!", make sure you don't read it at bedtime!
Book Review: I love TMBG kids Stuff but this is LAME
Summary: 1 Stars
We have all the TMBG albums (i.e. 123's, ABC's, Science, No!, and Bed) and they are all AWESOME, with great songs and great DVD animation to go along with the songs. But this book is super LAME. "Stand up, jump like a monkey, jump like a jumping bean"...that is the entire song. Every pages of the book is just a repeat of this. I am very disappointed that TMBG would put their name to something that is so simple...what a rip-off. Better to stick with the "Here Comes..." DVDs and skip this one.
