Silly Tilly

If you have a silly friend (or maybe are a silly friend) you know sometimes it can get *really* silly, and sometimes can even go overboard ... but that doesn't mean we can be bossy and mean or unkind to each it other, and it doesn't mean that people should stop being themselves.What it does mean is that we can learn to appreciate each other and how to get along.We can learn how to talk to each other ... how to be better communicators.We can learn what boundaries are and how to respect them.We can learn to apologize when we were wrong, and that being a friend means that sometimes we just kind of roll with it and accept each other for who we are ... silliness and all ... and that it is a happier place when people are allowed to be themselves.This was a fun, read out loud, sweetly illustrated book, with lots of things to talk about along the way about friendship, and how we interact with each other. Definitely recommended.

'This is my great grandson's favorite book. We had checked it out numerous times at the library so I decided to buy it. He loves the story of Silly Tilly and who wouldn't love a story about a silly goose who takes her bath in apple juice.!!!

When we first got this book for my 3-year-old son he didn't even really want me to finish reading it the first time. Now, at almost three-and-a-half, we've read it several times in the past few weeks and he thinks it's hilarious. He thinks it's silly but there are several times he asks 'why?' which is my queue that something is over his head. I just looked at the description and I see that it's for Age Level 6 - 8, that may explain it. This is also great news because that means he's enjoying it now and will for another several years.As an adult, it's a fun book to read, and even more enjoyable to look at. I think they could have done such a better job of the picture on the cover. There are so many really good, fun images in the book and I don't feel the cover represents them. *SPOILER ALERT* When the animals come back to ask Tilly to be silly, the picture of them all standing in a row with the frog holding the flower is so awesome, I wish I could get a print for the wall.

This book is funny and shares a lesson about trying to change someone's personality. I had the book Silly Syndey and just had to see if this one was as good. I was very happy with this purchase and my 5 year old grand daughter loved it.

I loved that it teaches a lesson that you should always be yourself regardless of what others think of it.

"Tilly was a silly goose," starts this adorable book by Eileen Spinelli that takes us through all the many things this wacky fowl does. She likes to kiss fish, take baths in apple juice, and sit on birthday cakes annoying the rest of the barnyard with her wild antics. They tell her that she must stop all her nonsense and behave like the rest of the group. Sadly, she complies with their demands. The group soon realize thet her behavior livened up the place, "Hetta Hen remarked, I haven't laughed since-when? - since Tilly chased the garbageman!"Realizing they were wrong to make Tilly conform, all the animals apologize. Tilly resumes her harmless pranks, and once again entertains the entire barnyard with her shenanigans.A wonderful tale pf appreciating our friends for who they really are and having the understanding that we shouldn't change them.Beautiful and richly illustrated by David Slomin. Sweet book for some nice discussions on the meaning of friendship.

I got this for my preschool aged grandchildren. They loved it from the rhyming words to the silly pictures. It is a fun book to read.

My four year said, “ I like Silly Tilly. ‘Cause Silly Tilly is so funny.”I said, “fair enough.” Fair enough.

I bought it for my little grand daughter and I thought it was poor, both in content and in production.

Rubbish rhymes, worthless trash, not worth the cost of sending it to my kindle, wish I hadn't wasted my money.

This book is filled with playful, rhyming text that brings a giggle to children and adults. I used this in my K-2 class and used it as a springboard for a discussion on friendship and accepting others as they are. It is one of my favourite books...so funny.

Great illustrations and silly rhymes makes this book f great for a read aloud! Be prepared to.read it over and over again, though!

Tilly is so funnyGentle night time readLovely rhymingWe really enjoyed it and would read over and over
