Editorial Reviews

Review

A truly toddler-friendly pairing of clapping and counting. […] Younger children will immediately and delightedly key in to the percussive possibilities […] an open-and-shut winner.
—Kirkus Reviews

A hardback cover and rounded pages are useful for younger page turners, while older ones will contemplate the quirky people and animals composed of geometric shapes illustrated in the brightest of primary colors. The blocky designs and text demand interactive listening, encouraging kids to stand up and move.
—Booklist

It’s very creative and a lot of fun. […] one of the most engaging and lively counting books I’ve ever come across. […] Clap, Clap deserves a standing ovation!
—The Picture Book Review

Clap, Clap! is an interactive book that works great for toddlers or young, school-age kids. Get them up, get them moving, and talk about all the great sounds they can make!
—Books for Kids

Bringing the book’s covers together creates many more actions and sounds in this fun, interactive counting book. Bold and bright geometric illustrations include pink, black, and white faces exploring the noises and sounds – no batteries are required!
—Omnilibros

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for preschoolers!

This book is absolutely awesome ! My 2.5 years old loves it, he LOVES it! Of course you have to put in a lot of intonation and hand motions !! That's the whole point of this book! Sadly some people here just don't get it, from what I read in other reviews! Toddlers and preschoolers LOVE onomatopoeia books! They love just making sounds, imitating sounds / noises and of course they enjoy interactive books with hand motions so this book is absolutely wonderful ! We love Flying Eye Books, the pages are always high quality !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Toddler Loves it!
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2023
My 18 month old is enchanted by the different sounds and pictures. We’ve only been reading it a few weeks and he has it memorized, always clapping happily at the end. I think it captivates him because he’s learning to talk and there are many different sounds to make with one’s voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars We loved this book.
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016
I have to say that this is probably the book Cristian has enjoyed the most when it comes to story time. He loved clapping his hands and he loved making the sounds. He was laughing and asking me to read it again and again.

The illustrations were colorful and bright and it really captured your eyes.

This is a book I would probably buy in physical form just so we could read it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice addition to any library
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016
I wasn't completely sold on this book at first, but after a couple reads we all love it. We found this at the local library and now will purchase after renewing it for the 3rd time. Our 2.5 year old can "read" this on her own and often recites it during the day. As a designer, I also love the modern and colorful graphics.

Bello questo libro per bambini, utile per interagire e intrattenere bambini piccoli e anche bambini che parlano in altre lingue. Io lo uso a scuola per coinvolgere i bambini più piccoli e far produrre dei suoni specifici superando la timidezza e potenziando la produzione varia di suoni

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever interactivity
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2017
Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my 2.5 year old daughter mostly because I'm a graphic designer who loves illustration. The graphics in this book are bold and colourful and the concept of the book is really clever. The book counts upwards from 1 to 15. Each number corresponds to the wording on each page... for example 2 = 2 kisses, 5 = 5 hi-fives. To read the book you need to hold it in both hands and open and close the book to recreate the actions. For example to make the two faces kiss, to make the butterfly flap, the press the toasty machine shut etc. Two red dots link the opposite pages together. And then along with the actions, you make the written noises like "mwah mwah". My daughter and I love the interactivity of this book and it's nice to have something so simple that doesn't required batteries or flashing lights to grab attention. It's a firm favourite and is now read at all times of the day and not just at bedtime!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 28, 2016

As a Graphic Designer I think it's really nicely illustrated. But there is literally no story, the pictures numbers, etc nothing matches us or makes sense. I think my daughter will be attracted to the colours but don't think there is any longevity in the book. I feel very disappointed after buying.
