Talk about a book that hooks little ones onto books!

"Who wants a ride?" asks Mr. Horse.  One by one, Cat, Dog, Pig and Duck hop aboard, and go for a ride.  Of course they ask if Mr. Horse can go faster, so faster they go...until... "Whoa, stop, we're falling off!"  Mr. Horse skids to a halt and the animals fly through they air and land in a haystack.  Mr. Horse is worried; the animals all shout, "Again!!"



"Whoa! Stop! We're falling off!"

 This is such a fun book to read, and one of the best 0-12 month books that exist out there in my oh-so-humble opinion.  The pictures are big and clear and cute, the words are simple, and it's great fun to put your little baby on your lap and go for a "ride," making your lap bouncier and bouncier as Mr. Horse goes faster and faster in the book. 

This was one of the first books we bought Lorelei after she was born, and we bought it for our nieces around the same time.  Both my sister and I have had to purchase and re-purchase replacements for our girls and the boys that followed them because it was such a favorite.  Ben is still happy with it...I think it's in his bed (or behind his bed, as his habit is now to slide all his books behind his bed before he falls asleep) right now. 

You can't go wrong with this book!  I've not read the sequal, the holiday version Jingle-Jingle.  Have you?
