Bounce- Doreen Cronin



Oh my Goodness, I have read this story countless times with my preschool story time group and they loved it. So when we found it in our local library I grabbed it. When we finally got to reading it Madison was getting ready to take her afternoon nap. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! I had to read the book like eighty times before she agreed to lie down.
Now I had this book for three weeks and we read it at least five times a day. That is not counting the many times Maddy got some one else to read it to her or the times she sat on the floor reading it to herself. The best thing about Bounce is that it has two other books by the same author that go with it these are Wiggle and Stretch.
Okay, Wiggle is fantastic and I had to read it the same amount of times that I read Bounce. Stretch didn't go over as well and I think because it lacks the flow of the other two books.  Now Stretch is a good book it just didn't go over with Maddy but with older kids it would do fine.
 So everyone who reads this go out and but this book on hold or purchase it and read it with the children in your life. I guarantee that it will be well received.
