We love it!

We have read this book over so many times that I am now having to order a new book. Our original is literally falling apart. I agree with the previous comment about the Granny being negative, but overall the book is very imaginative and captures my kids (9,7,4 and 1)feelings of security when they have their pacifiers. The end of course is the best part for all of us when we read it! The picture of the Noo-Noo tree is just great. This is truely the fantasy of every child that has given up a pacifier! My daughter used to alway's say "I'll take that one, and that one, and that one!" pointing to each of the pacifiers on the tree.
A witty book about giving up pacifiers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
A monster family with wonderfully expressive faces --grandma, mom, and son-- gracefully weathers the challenge of giving up pacifiers.
This book helped my daughter say goodbye to her "boppy".

Jill Murphy is quoted on the back cover saying "I haven't enjoyed doing a book so much in years." Her enjoyment is conveyed in this delightful account of a monster pressured to give up his pacifier, who ends up deciding on his own when to give it up. The cover of The Last Noo-Noo caught my attention with the monster with a baleful expression sucking on a pacifier- I knew it would be the perfect book for my daughter who is in the throes of giving up her beloved "boppy". She adored the adventures of Marlon and his "Noo-Noo", and we both laughed at loud when the mother throws the pacifiers away and then he finds more in his secret hiding places. So typical! The resolution of the story with the boppy tree is the highlight off this marevelously entertaining book. We intend on growing some of our own "boppy trees" as my daughter continues to be weaned from her beloved pacifier. As Marlon demonstrates, it is a process and weaning is successful with gentle prompting and encouragement and the child's own desire to be "grown up". Books like this help the process by entertaining children and providing characters with whom they can identify.
Lots of Fun for Any Child Who has Loved a Pacifier

The Last Noo-Noo is a humorous and warm account of a monster and his love for his pacifier. The illustrations are terrific. My 1-1/2-year-old treasures this story about his favorite thing. The story has let me introduce issues we will soon be facing when it is time for him to give up his pacifier. The ending is perfect! "A Noo-Noo tree. How ridiculous!"
