Munch, by Matthew Van Fleet, has proven to be one of the most exciting items my son could have received. As with most children, I am sure, he loves books, especially interactive, pop-up, and lift-the-flap books. This book gets my son to screech with excitement at the site of the cover. We can’t even read the book anymore because he is so excited to get to the moving pages he begins turning them himself. And, as soon as the page is opened to the first munching alligator he shrieks with excitement.
If this book is within site of my son all other toys are dropped. I even tried showing him a new pop-up book, which I thought would be more visually exciting, and he pushed it out of the way to find Munch.
It is a simple, rhyming, delightful little book. Unfortunately, and I knew the day would come, one of the moving parts has been damaged, but I will not hesitate to replace it!
If I had to choose one book to add to any child’s library, it would be Munch, by Matthew Van Fleet.
