Tap Tap Bang Bang (All About Sounds)

A really cute book to teach toddlers sounds that go with lots of different tools. I gave it as a gift along with a toddler toolbox and tools. Think both parents and the toddler will like it.

My son’s speech therapist had this line of books in her office. He’s 2.5 and absolutely loves this one and the cars book. When I got it, I didn’t realize the pictures match his tool set by Learning Resources! They’re almost exactly the same tools and colors. He has so much fun matching the tools to each page.We’re working on action words and other sounds. His therapist recommended making up my own story and evolving it based on his needs. It’s helping a lot! He just started saying “tap tap” and “hammer” thanks to this book!Highly recommend it for toddlers who love tools. Hope this helps! ☺️

Cute book. A bit long for my 1.5 year old to sit through but my 3 year old loves it!

Being someone that owns a lot of tools and works with tools regularly, at first glance I thought "MEH, the images only vaguely resemble real tools".That said, I am giving this book five stars on behalf of my 1 year old who is obsessed with this book. He loves to point to the various tools in the book and have whomever is reading it with him make the tool sounds (i.e. You can BANG BANG with the hammer). He will flip thru the book over and over again and it keeps him engaged longer than most of his other books (animal book excepted). It is a fun book in that as the reader you're making various tool sounds throughout and you have the freedom to be creative in your reading.

I bought this book for my twin toddler granddaughters, to go with a tool kit gift. They are they kind of kids who love to add their own sound effects to games and songs so this is the perfect go-along for them as they pound away with their tools. It's a sturdy board book with simple, bright illustrations-- which is imperative with these two as they're pretty hard on their books, especially the ones they love.

I purchased this book to complete the set of three by Emma Garcia for my 2 year old son for Easter. I've been able to instill a love of reading (being read to) by finding books in his wheelhouse (trucks, cars, trains, etc.). I've really enjoyed these books because it's easy to have a dialogue with him beyond the words on the page. The illustrations allow us to explore colors, sounds, and shapes outside of the storyline. This book is no different the other two.In this story, we are building something that won't be revealed until the last page. All the tools make a sound. We start with the hammer. "With the hammer, we go tap, tap, tap." "With the saw, we go cree craw, cree craw." Children learn about the most obvious of tools, but also tools not in your traditional play toolbox like a level, a grip vise, and a mallet. At the end, like in all the books, there's a review. Here, it is the of all sounds of the tools. Once you've reviewed, the big reveal of what you "made" is on the last page.Depending on my son's patience, I can drag out the story by asking him what sound did the hammer just make, what color is the grip vise, or can you point to the nails. Overall, this is a favorite in my household of both mom and kid alike. My son likes it because it involves all things that go boom, crash, bang. I like it because it has been great in vocabulary building and knowledge overall.

This is a great little board book to introduce tools and talk about what different tools are used for as well as building/fixing things. I bought this to give to my daughter along with a Melissa and Doug play toolkit for Christmas. We've read it many many times and she now knows the tools names and likes to make the sounds they make in the book. (She "Cree Craws" like a saw over and over again!) She also now loves to help Mommy and Daddy fix things around the house. I dig it. Good purchase for our library.

20 month old OBSESSED with this book. Got it last night and we’ve read it about a dozen times. Paired it with a toolbox set and he loved it even more

I purchased it with a set of toy tools for my two year grandson

My grandson loves these books and this one we have bought him for his birthday

My son is going to be 2 next month and he has loved this book since he was 1 year and a 1/2. We borrowed it from library but then he liked it so much we decided to buy it. He knows all the tools in this book now. We read it over and over.

My son loves this book! Great colourful pictures!

bought this for my 1 yr old nephew along with a little wooden tool kit byMelissa and Doug...he absolutely loved both and the book helped himto figure out to do with the tool kit he got as well!
