Customer Rating: Summary: Nice but a few issues ... Comment: I like this book but there are a few issues. It's quite long and by about the sixth read I found myself having to skip the odd page or two. In particular the "monster" scene I think is a but scary especially when read at bedtime. The ending is great which is why I'm giving it three instead of two stars. I don't think this is harsh, I'm ranking it in effect as "below average" compared to the large pool of picture books we have. Customer Rating: Summary: Fabulous Comment: This has been one of our little boy's favourite few books for about a year now. He's just over 2 and 1/2 now and there is no sign of him tiring of it yet. Just wonderful. Customer Rating: Summary: Never get tired! Comment: My daughter has loved this book from the age of two, she is now four and still asks for it again and again. Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant Comment: My 2 year old daughter loves all of these books - very imaginative stories - great illustrations - pages contain lots of detail she really enjoys. Customer Rating: Summary: Top marks! Comment: My daughter who is not yet two just loves this book, she finds it hard to put down and wants to read it over and over (luckily for us, Mummy and Daddy enjoy it too)
The only mistake I made though was buying the paperback version first (I didn't see the board one was available at the time) so if you are buying for smaller hands and fingers then I would suggest buying the board book first. I am going to and then put aside the paperback for when she is a bit older....as it is, this favorite isn't going to last very long in our home as my daughter would take it with her in the bath if she could!
Excellent storyline and illustrations. Top marks all round!!
