Product Description
From Amazon
With its simple rhyming text, vibrant pictures, "peekaboo" windows, and small board-book format, Ready, Set, Go! is ideal for curious young minds and hands. On alternating two-page spreads, the words "ready/set" are repeated, opposite an illustrated page with a die-cut hole. Readers guess what's behind each window, then turn the page to discover the text ("ROW!," "BLOW," "GROW!" etc.) and charming illustrations of a comically desperate sailor oaring away from circling sharks, a little girl blowing luminous bubbles. There's also a fantastic spinning flower that changes from yellow to purple with the turn of a tab. The book is sturdy enough to withstand the many happily clutching fingers that are bound to make their way into the baby-fist-size holes. For more peekaboo fun, investigate Nina Laden's Peek-a Who?. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Simple repetitive text presents the phrase, "Ready/Set," and a word that rhymes with "go." None of the concepts are related, but the illustrations clearly represent the words: go, blow, row, snow, and grow. The only exception is the picture for "THROW!" which is not well rendered. The cartoon people appear flat and awkward, but the objects are effectively drawn. The format will attract toddlers. Beginning with the cover, every other recto page has a circle cut out of the center; youngsters handling the book will enjoy the tactile sensation of exploring the shape as well as the excitement of a peek at the next page. Unfortunately, though the whole book is sturdily built, the last page ("GROW!"), in which a sliding tab reveals a purple flower in place of a yellow sun, is more flimsy and requires the manual dexterity of an older child.

This review is from: Ready Set, Go! (Board book)
My six month old loves this book. Now we say "ready, set, GO" everytime I'm picking him up, getting in/out of the car, etc. and he puts his arms out to "go".

This review is from: Ready Set, Go! (Board book)
This book, along with Peek-A-Who are my son's two favorites. He anticipates the next page, eagarly looking to me to say the words and loves the bright, vivid pictures. At age 9 months, Nina Laden's books capture his attention-- so much so that he loves to hold this book himself and look at the cover as he babbles! A terrificly done book, with simple text to read as you "surprise" your little one with the next phrase. I highly recommend this book!
