We Love It!
This is one of Dr. Seuss's best for very young children. It is fun to read, and will surely make you giggle, especially when you see the pink underpants! The pictures are cute and we always pause to talk about them. There are few words and soon your toddler will have them memorized, and be reading along with you. The kids and I highly recommend this book.

We also recommend "Jamberry" by Bruce Degen and "There's a Wocket in my Pocket" by Dr. Seuss.s

A great learning experience with a smooth ryming rythm and nice illustrations
The thing I like best about this book is that the words and the pictures go together nicely. When the words say "Our eyes see bees," there is a picture of a lot of bees. So, from an educational perspective, you can have your child point to a picture while he or she hears the verbal description of the picture. It's helped my baby lean several words and phrases.

This simple concept is something that a suprising amount of childrens' books lack. It is good for two reasons. It helps them put words to pictures, and it helps them learn to read. The book is for children that are 4-8, but it's ability to help children match the verbal sounds of words to pictures makes it appropriate for infants as well.

The learning potential of the book is enhanced by the rythm of the words. The book's sentences ryme and procede in a rythm that makes the book more enjoyable for your child. My baby is noticeably delighted whenever he sees that we are about to read this book.

It is highly recommended.

Gorgeous illustrations!
This is the perfect book for the youngest of Seuss fans. It's a very simply book that starts out with a boy pointing to his eyes and saying what they are...and then to his bunny friend's eyes. The book goes on to explain what eyes do and what they help us see. I thought the pink underpants was a little strange, but they're just kids afterall!

I'm a little surprised that I didn't notice anyone else had harped on its beautiful cover. The cover is absolutely beautiful with its its pretty sea-mint green background and wonderful illustrations. I always thought the boy's eyes looked more like they belonged to the rabbit...they're huge!

To sum it up, it's a cute story about eyes!

Excellent rhymes for young minds
I bought this for my daughter when she was about 15 months old and within a couple of weeks she was starting to recite the rhyming words. I believe when the child finds that they can participate in the reading of a book it really increases their interest in reading. I love this book because most of the words are easy everyday ones which we use frequently (even though we may not realise it). Your child will probably know most of the words by sound before you even read this book so I think that will help them to start recognising the words in print once you start reading this book regularly.

A Family Favorite
At first, I didn't think this book would be a real winner with my little one. But you just never know, huh? This "Eye" book, written by Dr. Seuss, is read nightly, with all the funny things that eyes can do and see, it proves to be quite interesting. The pink underpants definitely brings some giggles too! It's a pretty short book, one that can be easily memorized by toddlers. The book takes you on a tour of the various things that you can see with your eyes. The boy and the rabbit do everything from looking down holes to looking at the moon. It's quite cute but very basic so if you're looking for something for an older child, I'd pass on this one. The age limit is definitely true as stated above: 2-5.

Really cute, really fun!
We like this book because the rhyme is neat, it's a great way to really get to know one of your body parts, and because the illustrations are fun. I read this book pretty frequently. It's got a simple rhyme and clear graphics. That makes it easier to point out pictures and help build vocabulary. The rhyme encourages kids to try to fill in the blank (if you give them one...).
This is a simple, clear, well-illustrated book that makes it fun to learn where your eyes are and what they do.

Your toddler will love it, and so will you!
My 22 month old can't get enough of this book! And, to my surprise, she just started reading it on her own! Well, maybe she just memorized the words, but turn the pages, point at the pictures and see what happens with your child...it's absolutely wonderful!
