Eureka! The team from television's Blue's Clues may have found a cure for the common messy room. In this sturdy board book, polka-dotted puppy Blue and her ever-perky human helper Steve play a clever game of hide-and-seek. Lurking under this facade of fun is the fact that this game can help improve concentration skills. Children memorize the toys that have erupted all over the colorful playroom floor (a scenario sure to strike a familiar chord), and when the lights go out, Blue puts one back into the basket. Now the reader must figure out which toy is missing. It's a game parents may even want to stage in their own homes, since it is enjoyable, challenging, and has a major added benefit--luring unsuspecting kids into cleaning up their rooms. (Baby to preschool)

 Good point, bad points September 7, 2001
Maybe my son is just too young to understand the book, but the only thing he likes about the book is that when he touches the light switch the pages turn. As for naming the toys and noticing where they are, he has no interest. Of course, he is only 18 months old. I think that part of the problem is that every page looks alike, with only one toy out of place. The changes are not really obvious, so to him the book is boring. Blue is his favorite character and I am sure he will continue to look at the book. It's just not one of his favorites.

I have a 20 month old who absolutley loves this book! She discoved the light switches some time ago and so she loves to see the effects in the book that back up her experiences! Of course, at her age we are using the book as a tool to increase her language by naming objects and colors. I also only ask her to find Blue hiding in the dark and not the missing toy as asked for in the narrative. This is what I love about these books - they capture her attention immediately with the characters and colors and they can "grow" with her. As she develops more sophisticated problem solving skills I can then start asking her to find the missing toy. If your child likes brightly colored pictures or the show itself, then put this on your book-buying list!

Ok, we all know toddlers just love blue. But this book isn't well written. My two yr old tires of them easily, and she loves books. So, its says alot when she is sick of something, as well as myself. Don't get me wrong, if it takes a favorite character as an incentive to read, buy this book. If you want a book to enjoy for years to come, a book that will last in memory, buy another book.

My 11-month-old son loses patience with this book. He's not really old enough to figure out which toy Blue has put away from page to page, so he usually loses interest after about 4 pages, because the pictures are kind of repetitive. This might be better for an older toddler.
 great book for kids who like blues clues and hide and seek November 21, 1999

My son is two and he loves this book because it has Steve, Blue and a bunch of toys in it. It's interactive for kids because they have to turn the light "on and off" and find Blue in the dark and figure out which toy has been put away in the toy box. It helps kids find the missing toys as well as learn how to put away toys. Tanner usually asks to read it once a day!
