Doodles: A Really Giant Coloring and Doodling Book
Taro Gomi
Chronicle Books, 2006
Fabulous book for a plane trip or anywhere! Now we're giving them as birthday presents.
I bought this book to take on a long international plane ride with my daughter, age six. This kept her busy for hours on the plane and during downtime on the trip. But here's the thing: it kept me busy too! So much fun. And it is HUGE--we still have many more pages ...

Coco Can't Wait
Taro Gomi
Macmillian McGraw Hill, 2002
A Childhood favorite
I made my mom and babysitter read this book to me over and over! It got funnier as they grew weary of reading it again and again because they would try to use silly voices to make me loose interest- but that would only make me giggle more! My mom's apartment building ...

Squiggles: A Really Giant Drawing and Painting Book
Taro Gomi
Chronicle Books, 2007
MUST HAVE
This book is a must have. It is great for developmental learning and gives children directions that are easy to follow. I have worked with kids for several years and wish these books were out a long time ago so I could have spread the word sooner. Truly great books.

The Crocodile & the Dentist
Taro Gomi
Scholastic, 1996
A Painful Hit
For most adults The Crocodile & The Dentist is likely to appear excruciatingly repetitive. This impression is not alleviated after 60 or 70 readings. In other words, it is a delight for 2 and 3 year olds, probably because of its repetitiveness. Youngsters will know by ...

A pleasant surprise
The very first time I read this to my daughter she asked me to read it again... then again... and again. Now, she 'reads' it to us! She cannot read the words, but she remembers them from the pictures. Nice illustrations. Get's the 1-2 year olds involved by having ...

Kane/Miller Book Pub, 2001
Children LOVE Taro Gomi
This book has been critisized for being a cold and uninviting treatment of the subject of a child getting lost. In my experience as a mother and elementary school teacher I have found the exact opposite to be true. Children respond with rapt interest to the colorful ...
