Review: Perfect Nostalgic Gift for Yound Readers - I bought two of these for my granddaughters because I had originally bought sets for their mothers when their mothers were little. The art work and stories are great and children love reading them over and over and over. I'm for anything that encourages a love of reading and these lovely, silly little books do just that. I highly recommend these for any young children on your gift-giving list.
Review: Small but mighty, great purchase - Maurice Sendak must haves. The "nutshell library" is a classic. Books are hard cover, beautifully made, artwork is vibrant. The small cardboard case that holds them also well constructed. These books, from 1962, are fun, rythmic, and sing-songy. Easy for children to hold. A word of caution. Some modern parents find them too scary. Really, a lion that swallows a child because he didn't seen to care about anything or anyone. To me, it's fun and interesting. I get requests to read this one over and over. If there is any drawback, it is that they are manufactured in China.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Favorite Set of Fun MiniBooks
*by C***Y on January 6, 2026*

A personal favorite. I bought this for my kindergarten age grandchild, hoping she might be able to read some of it herself. Mini-size books fit in her little hands very nicely. Books are also fun to read out loud to a child; good rhymes and silly stories/drawings. Each little book is hardcover with a paper jacket and all of them fit into their little box together to make a nice set.
