- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024Wonderful product and service.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2015I liked it almost as much as my grandson. Great graphical illustrations. I enjoy reading them books that have a bit of a meaning or a moral behind them like this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2017Last year, my two year old son got a book Sneezy the Snowman for Christmas. Now, months later, we still have to read that at least twice a week. Because of how good that book is, and how much my son loves it, I bought this book by the same author. The great quality of writing, as well as great illustrations, continue with this book.
If your child likes to be read to, likes to look at the pictures and make up his own stories based on what he sees, then I highly recommend this book, as well as others by Maureen Wright.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019A fun story that was fun to read to classes I was working with as a substitute teacher the week of Groundhog Day. It was perfect for both Kindergarten and First Graders to whom I read it, I am sure it would work with Preschool age as well.
Its a cute story with wonderful bright pictures. I could not be more thrilled with my purchase and the book will have a long term place in my classroom library as I work towards my teaching degree.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024I love these books and the author
