This is a pictorial children's book about Billy. Billy loved tapping. He was tapping wherever he was. He was tapping on the school bus, the class, the chairs, the doors, and even the floor. Even when his teachers and fellow students begged Billy to stop tapping, he did not listen. He did not know why he could not stop tapping. He was sent to detention for refusing to stop tapping, but he kept tapping even in detention. It remained a problem until the school's bandmaster came in. What did the bandmaster do to help Billy?

From the way this book was written, it showed that the author has vast knowledge and experience in teaching children. It was beautifully written, and the rhyming of words made it a joy to read. Billy's case remained a problem for all until the arrival of the bandmaster, who tried to see the positive side of Billy's case. This shows a hidden message that teachers and friends should not always criticize young ones; instead, they should try to see the positives in the character they display. It also shows that there is a solution to every problem.

The diagrams were beautiful and very colorful. I believe every child would be attracted to it at first glance. This story was concise and precise. The choice of words is simple, and children can enjoy this book without relying on the aid of an adult. The author avoided making this book lengthy to avoid boring the children. I was glad to see Billy happy and free in the end, but I will not give details. You can learn more about it when you grab a copy of this book.

This book was perfectly organized. All the diagrams were in place, and no single error was found in this book. This shows the level of editing that was done on this book. I cannot suggest any further improvements to this book because it is perfect. Therefore, I rate this book, Tappity-Tap-tap-Tap by Suzanne Tilden-Mortimer, 4 out of 4 stars.

I recommend this book to children between the ages of 4 and 6. Parents can read this book to their younger children as a bedtime story. I recommend this book to children's teachers too. They can read it to children in the class.

Tap-tap-tap, I've decided to tap mine here 😂. This is a beautiful review. Indeed every child is unique in its own way and Billy is a special child that needed a special attention which the bandmaster understood.

I had a fun time pronouncing the title of the book. Tappity-Tap-Tap-Tap!
Thankyou! I really liked reading your review and from your review it sure sounds like the author is a wonderful teacher. For she made it easy to read and she found the best in Billy's tapping.

This is a great lesson for parents that when a kid likes doing something, they should leverage on it and help him to be the best in it. Positive attitude though.

Children are easily attracted to books with beautiful illustrations. This is no exception.
I loved the rhymes in the book. I wonder if Billy didn't get tired of tapping. I look forward to reading this book.

Lol! Quite funny with everyone trying to make him stop tapping. I do believe there'll be a great lesson from this book and I can't wait to see what it is. I may not be a child but I, as everyone else, learn something new everyday. I'm also interesting in writing children's books. Nice review.

I was thrilled when I saw the book's title. I wondered if tapping ever hurt Billy's finger. What an odd hobby for him to enjoy. Excellent review.

Interesting... I am so curious as to why Billy was tapping and even more for what the headmaster did to make Billy stop tapping. I love the lessons learnt in this book and I'll love to read all of it.
