Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

Although this book was around when many of today's parents were youngsters, it has remained a steadfast must-have in every toddler's library. For starters, it's a great vocabulary guide that names the many things that go (and some that haven't a prayer of going, but are great fun to imagine anyway). It's also teeming with detail-rich scenes and characters on every page, teaching children the rewards of looking long and closely (such as finding the hidden "Goldbug" in each spread). Along the way it entertains with the silly and slapstick--everything from toothpaste and toothbrush cars to six fire department vehicles that show up to extinguish a ladybug-size fire in a miniature pink convertible. What's most amazing about this book, however, is its longevity. When you purchase it for your fledgling talker, you should consider it an investment. Even 11-, 12-, and 13-year-olds are known to pore over the book nostalgically, cooing at Lowly Worm and eagerly tracking Officer Flossie's book-long chase after that irresponsible, speedster driver in a cowboy hat. (Ages 2 and older) --Gail Hudson

My Son's FAVORITE Book (2004-06-25)

I have just purchased my SECOND copy of this book. My 22 month son loves it so much that it has been through the ringer in the past months, with his favorite pages ripped out because of over use! I had it when I was little, and it brings back great memories. But, I never expected the reaction that he would have to this book! It is perfect for any who loves PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES!! If only there was a board version!

Great Book for Generate Interest in Reading/Focus of Toddler (2004-06-09)

This was the first book my son received in 1992. I started reading it to him before he was 1 years old. He loved to sit quietly and look at the book. He continued to look for Goldbug until he was in kindergarten. Great book for spending quality time with your child and get the added bonus of an educational foundation for reading.

A tradition continues (2004-06-03)

This book was a favorite of our youngest son, age 31. Now our well loved copy is a great hit with the grandchildren. I have to buy three new copies. In this day of DVD, VCR it is a thrill to have children so engrossed looking for Gold Bug.

Wonderful (2004-05-19)

My son loved this book when he was little. He wanted to carry it around all the time, The pages were worn out as he looked at it all the time until we had to purchase a second copy. I highley recommend this book.

In a word...GOLDBUG (2004-05-09)

I've always loved Huckle and Lowly (and the pigs and rabbits and Miss Honey, etc.), but Goldbug deserves a Shirley Bassey theme song about him. My 3 year-old daughter is entranced looking for him every time we check this book out of the library. She goes as far as calling the green bugs "Green Goldbug." I don't recall having this book when I was a child, but am so glad I found it as a parent, and will be buying it as soon as I think about it when near a bookstore.
