So compelling that you, like me, might need to crawl out of your room at night in order to catch the last glimmer of light from the hallway bulb and whisper the words to yourself until you fall asleep where you are with big bright letters stacking up, falling, bouncing in your head until you are tripped over by one of many older siblings.

Not a recent experience, but upon seeing the cover, an easily accessible one for me.

I read this one for Dr. Seuss birthday next month. My library has these books for a giveaway.

I love the Berenstain Bears series. Such good books with good messages. This one doesn't necessarily have a message but it's good with the rhymes and kids will love how Brother gets all around.

Inside, Outside, Upside Down is a Bright and Early Book for Beginning Beginners, and that line copied not be more aptly named. On the scale of picture books, Inside, Outside, Upside Down is at the very bottom. This isn't a Cat in the Hat; this isn't even a One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Any child who has been reading independently for more than a year will find this book to be below their reading level (though they may still enjoy the scant plot if they're young enough and/or enjoy the Berenstain Bears), and any parent reading this book to a child will likely find it insufferably dull and repetitive.

I do, however, recommend this to parents looking to read to their infants/toddlers for the first few times, or parents whose children are just about ready to start reading independently but aren't ready to handle a picture book of average complexity.

Inside Outside Upside Down is meant for beginning readers so of course it was very boring for me to read. My son's attention span is getting longer and he has more appreciation for longer stories now, but he did find this book silly and enjoyed that aspect of it.

This is the first book I felt that my 9-month-old really understood. Every page is very simple with simple words. A bear goes inside a box and ends up being accidentally carted upside down onto a truck outside. We've read this one multiple times.

A quirky children’s book. It reminded me of a shorter version of a Dr. Seuss book.
