I have just finished reading this to my child for what seems like the 100th time! She really enjoys having it read to her and reading along. I have to say, Sharlene Alexander can write a fun children's book. Wiggle Wiggle Boooooom! is one of the best interactive children's story books to come along in a long time. And to anyone who says that it's not long enough, I think it is just the right length. These books are usually read at bedtime and you don't really want a long story that takes forever to read. Some nights you want short and sweet and these are exactly the kind of books that children learn to read from. Lex, the hippo, has become a favorite character now in our house at bedtime. It reminds me of the Olivia book series by Ian Falconer, that is how good this book is! The illustrations are very good and the book itself is very well written, the author has a hit on her hands and I would like to see more, maybe even a series or two. I don't want to give away the ending so I won't, but I can tell you this, it provides a good message for children. And don't forget about the games at the end! This book has it all, entertainment, games and learning, well worth the purchase price.
