It is one of the most fun ways for preschoolers to learn about both kinds of animals on a farm. This book makes learning fun and exciting. The pictures are taken from the show so it is familiar to your child. The interaction of reality and make-believe is really refreshing.

Seeds for "Blue's Clues" were planted with the idea of creating a game show for preschoolers.
After the concept evolved into the story of a curious puppy named Blue, millions of kids have learned basic communication, problem-solving and interaction skills from Blue, her owners and their friends. To celebrate the show's 10th anniversary, creators are adding to the family, giving Blue a baby brother who will be introduced in an hourlong special premiering Aug. 6 on Nickelodeon.
Creators Traci Paige Johnson, Angela C. Santomero and Todd Kessler took Brown Johnson's game-show idea and delivered a concept that included activities to fit the skills possessed by 2- to 5- year-olds and animation with a 'picture book' look they would be familiar with from daily life.
"When I was in college they would do 'Schoolhouse Rock' live, and I'm looking forward to when I'm 60 and a college invites me to do 'Blue's Clues' live," says Traci Paige Johnson, who enjoys seeing the "impact we're having on generations of preschoolers."

In this colorful paperback, the irrepressible Blue is off to the farm with her earnest pal Steve, who asks readers to help identify animal tracks, figure out what kinds of animals belong on the farm, and decipher what Blue's favorite animal is by the clues left throughout the book. The illustrations consist of color-drenched, Teletubbies-style panoramas, superimposed with Astroturf, paper cutouts, clay figures, and what appears to be lettuce. The text is straight out of a script designed to get kids excited about sleuthing: "I was wondering," Steve asks, eyebrows skyward, "do you know what all these animals like to eat? You do? Will you get the animals their lunch? Great!" Your kids will hardly notice this isn't TV!

Our daughter spends many hours reading and re-reading this book and interacting with Blue. It comes out for reading especially when Blue's on TV and she points at the book and TV and has really developed her learning and memory retention and recollection. The whole Blue's videos and books are a must and in association with parental teaching your child will improve greatly. Where was Blue many years ago for our other children. One of the best learning shows around. Our daughter is two years old and now has a great imagination and play skills, which, thanks to Blue and Steve, is improving each and everyday of Blues Clues. Buy this book, plenty of fun for your kids. |

My three year old nephew just got this book and loves it. He examines each page carefully and shouts "a clue! a clue!" whenever he sees the trademark blue paw print. He also informed me that he likes "that guy" meaning Steve, the genial young TV host. A cute book with lots of colorful stickers. |

This is my daughter's favorite book. It comes with 2 pages of stickers which go into the book. We had to work together to put the stickers in place and it was like doing a puzzle. Now it is her book and she has changed around some of the stickers to make it even more hers. |
