Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (Iza Trapani's Extended Nursery Rhymes) Paperback – Picture Book, March 1, 1997

We have nearly all of Iza Trapani's books, but this is by far our favorite! Iza Trapani took the familiar verse of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, and added an adventure. The story is vivid. The illustrations are beautiful. We used to read the book every night. Now we sing it EVERY night to our little ones. It calms them. We get to connect with them through it. The story/song takes them on an adventure in the mind's eye as they move towards sleep. It's one we know they will refer back to with fond memories as they grow up.

1- love the author & illustrations2- such a beautiful story incorporating a classic song

We've had this book for about a year and our LO still loves it. She has so many books that she rarely had favorites, so for a book to last a year at the top of her list is special. TTLS is the first song she memorized and her favorite lullaby. So she really loves this book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story can be sung to the melody of TTLS, or spoken like a poem. This is a great, soothing bedtime book that infants and toddlers will love.

Since babies like to grab things, this board book is ideal. I read this story to my son every single night when he was young (28 yrs ago!). I just purchased this for his first born child.

Iza Trapani has a wonderful way of taking a simple nursery rhyme and turn it into an amazing adventure. Twinkle Twinkle is among my favorites along with I’m a Little Tea Pot and Itsy Bitsy Spided. The children love the illustrations too.

The rhyme we all know is further developed in this durable board book. It is a wonderful book to sing to your little one & has wonderful artistry for them as well. Recommend this book!

I had this book for my youngest daughter when she was a baby, and was pleased to find it for my granddaughter. A lovely, illustrated version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star that will be beloved by children for generations to come.

As a music therapist, I really appreciate books written in poetic meter, because you can sing them as a song. This book is great, because not only is it written in meter, it is a familiar tune everyone knows too! It gives the original Twinkle Twinkle a twist and alters it into a kind of visual story that takes you on an adventure in the night. Beautiful illustrations and a sweet little book all around. Now you have no excuse not to sing lullabies to your children before bedtime, parents! ;)
