Meet the Author

Sandra Boynton

Sandra Boynton is a popular American humorist, songwriter, children’s author, and illustrator. Boynton has written and illustrated more than forty books for both children and adults, as well as more than four thousand greeting cards and four music albums. She has designed—for various companies—calendars, wallpaper, bedding, stationery, paper goods, clothing, jewelry, and plush toys.

Biography

In the 1980s, it was hard to enter a gift shop without seeing Sandra Boynton's name. Her humorous pen-and-watercolor cartoons of hippos, ewes, and her famous turkeys (you know, symbolizing the human ones in life who can get you down) were emblazoned on cards, mugs, stickers, stationery...and of course, her wonderful, wacky books, the first of which was 1979's Hippos Go Berserk! .

Boynton began her career as a greeting card illustrator with aspirations of theater directing; but having a family changed her focus, and she began devoting herself full-time to art. Her board books, filled with goofy animal illustrations and rhyming verse, are toddler staples. But their appeal to adults is undeniable, and she has also written a number of humor books for the general public.

Given the rhythmic, buoyant style of her writing, it was only natural that Boynton would become involved in companion music to her books. From the '90s on, several of her titles included accompanying CDs, culminating in the 2002 release of Philadelphia Chickens, a CD-book extravaganza written with composer Michael Ford and featuring musical performances by several high-profile stars.

Who knows what lies ahead for this irrepressible force of nature? If there's one thing Sandra Boynton has proved in the course of her remarkably diverse career, it's that she's not lost her capacity to surprise us. (Thank heavens!)

    Waste of money

    I love Sandra Boynton and have several of her books that we read to our daughter, but this one was nothing but a waster of money...I only purchased it based on the reviews which I now see was a big mistake...do yourself a favor...preview the book at the store first!

    Highly recommended

    We just bought this along with DINOSAURS and THE GOING TO BED BOOK for a baby present. I can't tell you how many times I read those books to my kids when they were little. Before we gave them away, we read them again. It brought back so many memories! I love these books!

    Love it

    I love this book! It teaches colors and clothing words through a silly story. It's a fun story to sign along with. My 6 month old seems to enjoy it too.

    Loves the word OOPS!

    Reading this to a very young 6 month old and she loves to hear you read with expression and change in tone and volume. She seems to love to hear the word OOPS as that Turkey makes his mistakes. The bright colors are clear and crisp. The short words make it an easy read for the very young babies. A great beginning to repitition and rhythm.

    Giggles

    My son loves all Sandra's books. He laughed SO hard when we got to the 'oops' parts. It was the most adorable thing. I recommend this book (well, all of her books) highly

    Good "How To" Book

    My son really likes this book. Although it doesn't tell a story, he laughs at the turkey who can't dress. It's very entertaining and teaches him how to dress himself.

    Such a Fun Read!

    My 2-year-old daughter absolutely loves this book. She likes to name the color and the clothing, then yell "OOPS!" which induces many giggles. Good tool for learning colors, too.

    My Son's favorite book since he was 10 months old!

    My little guy LOVES this book! I started reading it to him when he was about 10 months old and its been his favorite ever since. He's only 13 months now and he knows what book to get when we tell him 'get the 'oops' book. Its very sweet - a guaranteed giggle.

    Dittos

    Our two year old also enjoys the book to the extent that she is often carrying it around with her. She also is to the point of reading it aloud to the rest of the family. And, OOPS, dare I forget that this bit of humor is her favorite part! FIVE BIG STARS.

    my favorite!

    This is one of the silliest books by Sandra Boynton. Our two year old just adores it! specially the part of "OOPS"! We have read it so many times that now she is the one who reads it to us! the pictures helps her figure out the words (blue hat, green pants, etc) she already knows the whole book by heart!
