Great book, very festive. Every other story has an orange boarder 2in wide so the pictures are smaller in these stories but still a good size picture. I bought a hard cover a like durability for drops and rough use with two little boys and they stand the test of time a have one other little critter collection book still in great condition after 5 years. We love little critter stories.
Just a Little Critter Collection and Little Critter Storybook Collection are favorites in our house. This one is nice for reading one or two times but it lacks that read-again and again quality that you want in a book. My daughter (almost two) doesn't hate it, but she gets bored after one or two stories and goes to play. That's not the case with the other two more classic books I mentioned. If you're just getting starred with Little Critter, get the other two and pick this up from the library.
I had a few of these books from working in a Kindergarten class years ago. I'm pretty sure I had bought them through Scholastic. When I started reading them to my kids (which originally look at the cover and were not interested) they ended up LOVING them. So, this book was a must have for our journey to begin reading. We read all of the stories in it over a few days and they still want to read them again. The kids didn't understand the part in the storm when they plugged in an old telephone. They kept asking why they didn't use a cell phone! Hahahahaha. They love the fact that they can "spot the spider" in every scene, though. As a parent, I love these books because they are short and can keep the attention of kids within a decent age range.
I bought this for my 3 year old niece. We had already been reading a lot of Little Critter books at the time and this was perfect for the Fall. The stories are nice, short, meaningful, and have lots of nice pictures. I like that these books kind of teach my niece about the world. For instance, there is a story about going to a pumpkin patch. We read that several times and then, when we actually went to a pumpkin patch, she was an expert.The book is really good quality, solid construction and nice page quality. There is some gloss on the pages which is kind of different than some of the other Little Critter books we have, which are a bit rougher and have no gloss finish. As it is a big book and is hardcover, it is kind of heavy. I wouldn't want to have to hold it in the air for a long time, but just leaning it against something works fine.
Like another review I read the layout for some of the stories is horrible. Every other story has about a 3inch border on the outside of the pages. Not sure what the publishers reasoning for doing this was. But I still love the book.
As always kids enjoyed every story in this book. Nice hard cover, pictures are very nicely colored, and many details in each picture. Kids really enjoy passing the book around taking turns looking at the detailed pictures. Happy our family owns it now as our "forever" book to have forever :)
If you like Little Critter, you'll enjoy the book. A few of the stories are very simple, better for very young readers. I took the book to read to my daughter's 1st grade class. We read 3 stories I think, and the class enjoyed them all. Only 1 story deals with fall themes (such as pumpkins and apples at a harvest festival). Another story is about a thunderstorm, and 3 stories deal with class activities, which I suppose can fall under the fall theme. The last 2 are about snow and community helping. It's a good purchase.
Excellent book for age 3.5-4 years - every page has words that match the illustration - and the stories are sophisticated enough that the kids are engaged. My 3.5 year old twins adore the little critter books.
