Tumford's Rude Noises

Highly recommend! Great book for children. Bright and clear art work. Engaging story line.

My 2 year old daughter loves this book and the other Tumford the Terrible book. She laughs out loud at all of the silly things this naughty cat does throughout the book. It's a current favorite and very different from what Nancy usually writes (we have all of those books too), but it's a nice departure. The other books are sweet and have a christian sort of undertone to them, but these are comical and cute. I think it's nice to not have just one type of book for kids. A little variety is good for them.

My grandson was captivated by Tumford the cat who got into trouble doing all those things little boys do. I first borrowed the book from the library but had to buy the book so my grandson would have a copy to keep. With delightful pictures and rhyming verse it is a perfect book for reading aloud or for a beginning reader to enjoy. Nancy Tillman knows how to connect with little kids in a gentle, loving way.

I gave this book to my granddaughter (a kitty lover) on a recent trip. She is three years old and was very entertained by the book. It also teaches the lesson of when it is OK to be silly with noises and when it isn’t. I love the Tumford books. This is not the only one I bought her. books because.

We have a “Tuxedo” cat, but his nose is black, so I colored all the noses. A cute and funny book, if you love cats, and or small children. The latter make more funny noises because no cat I know has ever farted, dogs yes. I’ve read the book through a fee times. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Nancy Tillman’s beautiful and luxurious art “, and other books but I kept struggling with how Tumford was treated. I have a new grandson son for whom I bought the book and on these two pages I can see myself changing the wording. And when the author says “whisper these words in Tum’s ear if you would...”Tumford ... not all attention is good”. I believe the message /font/print would have been better served if the voice/font was then small like a whisper.

We have another "Tumford" book, and bought this one based on our love for that one. Both have are written in rhyming verses, and are a pleasure to read out loud. The books have a moral and try to teach kids to behave. In this book, Tumford ruins a party with his attention-craving behavior and is punished (with a time out). I gave the book 4 instead of 5 stars because it is not quite as wonderful as the first one.

My daughter and I have been a fan of Nancy Tillman since my daughter was 2 months old. Her style of writing is always fun and gentle, and we especially love Tumford. He is the perfect character for a toddler to identify with, and the message in this book is conveyed with perfect humor. Most of all, as a parent, my favorite message is that children should be loved...no matter what "noises" they make.

This story is so cute! It makes my little girl giggle every time we read it.

Tumford looks just like one of our cats so our year old grandson loves the story. He has both Tumford books and they are greatly enjoyed. I would recommend any book by this author.

Tim ford has been a family favourite in my house for quite sometime. We have put many miles on the board book version and have decided to upgrade to hardcover. Tillman outdoes herself and steps away from her usual writings for this book and I was and will always be pleasantly surprised. My girls love Tummy and all his shenanigans, it also teaches great lessons.

Never a big reader, but I read my girls anywhere between 3 to 6 books a night. They love anything by Nancy Tillman, her books always poetry and a great read. Awesome collection.

The ability to purchase online and have it streamed right to my personal device is fantastic. The ability to keep I in he cloud or on the device is great.

Perfect!
