3.0 out of 5 stars basic TV spin off book

Basic storyline, reasonable for early readers. I bought this book because my son is a huge fan of the Backyardigans, not for it's literary merits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the backyardigans fan!
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2006
My 3 yo daughter LOVES backyardigans.

THis is such a fun book for us to read at bedtime together.

If she feels like it she gets to "read" along with me when I get to the picture clues.

Ever since they came out with the backyardigans books she wants at least one read everynight at bedtime. I really dont get sick of them myself, yet :).

4.0 out of 5 stars Ahoy! It's another Backyardigans success!
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2011
This is another cute book in the Backyardigans series, based on an episode entitled, "Castaways." The book follows the show's storyline perfectly and it keeps our son's interest throughout it. This one is about the Backyardigans being stranded on an island and Austin is there, too, unbeknownst to the rest of the crew. Even my husband and I have been known to laugh at these books and the shows. Who said they're just for kids?

One aspect of some of these "Ready-to-Read" books is that the have the rebus pictures, something that is irritating to me and I don't feel it helps children read; in fact, it seems to break the natural flow of words. As a teacher and early literacy supporter, I prefer the pre-K books or ones that are simply words, just in shorter sentences or with repetition.

That being said, I love Backyardigans myself, honestly, because it encourages children to use their imaginations, their songs are catchy and NOT annoying, the stories are cute and creative, and the morals are fun and easy-to-understand. We have 10 of these books, our kids love them all, and they can read many of the words in them! They're part of our daily nap and bedtime routines and we all highly recommend them! If you want to buy only 1 book, however, I recommend the Big Book of Backyardigans as it contains many Backyardigans stories in one inexpensive book.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT book!
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2006
My daughter (age 2) and I love the Backyardigans! She has all the books and she really loves this one!! I read it to her every night and she points at the pictures as I tell her what they are. It's a very easy read and easy to follow along.

It's a long book for a little one, but it's great since the story is simple, cute, and fun to read!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 3 1/2 Year Old Daughter LOVES This book
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2006
My daughter is obsessed with books and we end up having to read long books to her each night. This book is quick and fun. There are also pictures in place of the words to help preschoolers with their reading.

My Daughter loves this book and memorized it in the first day. She reads it daily.
