In this lift-the-flap version of a Blue's Clues puzzle. There are five two-page spreads and the text indicates that you are, indeed, trying to "figure out where Blue wants to go today". You start outside the house, go to the living room, bedroom, kitchen and finally Blue's school. Along the way you see all of the favorite characters - Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper, Mailbox, Sidetable Drawer, Shovel & Pail, etc. The colors are trademark bright, and the hide-and-finds are clever. The flaps are "punched" so they are still held in place by small bits of cardboard - it might be a good idea for an adult to go through and unhinge the flaps before giving it to a young child or they will grow frustrated and probably bend some of the flaps; also, the flaps are made of thin cardboard, so they will rip off easily if your child tends to indulge in such behavior. It has over 50 flaps for children to lift up and play a game of Blues Clues along with Blue and the gang. It does hold kids’ interest because of the flaps and interactivity of this book, and by this way the book starts to teach kids numbers, letters and time. This book is the best one available because of the educational purposes and lets kids relate objects in the book to the same objects around the home.

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."

For those who care, this one features Steve. It's also very big. Like all flap books, an adult should 'prep' the flaps before handing the book over. My 2-year-old son loves this book, although he has ripped out a couple of the flaps, and doesn't quite get the point of some. It also has some cues for adult participation: for example, when you open the flap with Blue's ball behind it, on the back of the flap it says "Now can you find Blue?" - Although this is somewhat circular since the flap with Blue asks to find Blue's ball. |

This has been my 2 year old's favorite book since she was 10 months old. Seeing all her friends from Blue's Clues makes it interesting, and the colors are bold and the illustrations just like the show. The jillions of flaps are just what my curious girl needs. Many of the flaps are bent or missing now, but I plan to just buy a new one when it gets too beat up. It's a very large book though, can be hard to tote around when you’re on outings or trips. |

Bought this book for my 16-month old grandson and he was fascinated from the beginning. Loved the tabs that lift up and finding the pictures underneath. My daughter put it away for a few days and pulled it out as her "secret weapon" for a recent plane trip! I can highly recommend this book. |

I bought this for my 19-month-old son because it combines two of his favorite things: Blue's Clues and flap books. We have three other flap books, and he is admittedly hard on them. However, the cardboard on this book is especially easy to bend. I have to bite my tongue when he gets overly enthusiastic...after all, it is his book and I want him to enjoy reading, not be admonished for relishing the flaps! But while most of them are now lovingly bent (making the book kind of "puffy" when closed); he has not ripped them off. I have gotten over it, but if you're one to get "bent out of shape" over bent-out-of-shape flaps, this might not be the best choice. On a more positive note, he loves the pictures. The colors are trademark bright, and the hide-and-finds are clever. I like the positive message that Blue's favorite place is school, too. Despite the "flap" flap, I'm considering the purchase of the birthday flap book simply because he loves this one so much! |
