I've given "The Little Pea" book as gifts before, but finding this set was truly a gem!All three books are sweetly written and the illustrations enhance the story. Plus, the child friendly cardboard-like pages will help keep these books in better shape for many years to come.
These books are absolutely adorable! I looked around for the Little Pea book for my 6 month old because I had seen it elsewhere and loved it. Then I stumbled upon this set from and thought it would be a great XMas gift. These 3 books are absolutely darling and have cute little lessons in them. I can't wait until my son is a little older and understands what I'm reading him. But for now I just entertain myself!
I bought this set after hearing Little Pea at the library - I thought it was such a cute book & I immediately came home & looked it up. I'm glad I decided to buy the whole set because my son (2 1/2) absolutely LOVES these books! And has since he was about 18 months old. Little Oink was actually once of the 1st books he specifically requested to read - I asked him what he wanted to read one night & he said "piggy". A year later he still frequently says "I wanna read piggy". It's a good thing that I also enjoy these books as well because he requests them A LOT!Little Pea is a pea who has to eat candy for dinner each night & he hates it!Little Oink is a pig whose parents want him to make a mess but he just wants to be clean & tidy.Little Hoot is an owl who just wants to go to bed but his parents make him stay up and play.They are all basically the same story, but with different characters & different "problems", but despite the repition, they are very cute & I doubt any young child is going to be bothered by that anyway. They're all pretty short, the illustrations are really nice & kind of fun (there's lots of fun little details that my son likes to point out to me as we read - like the different animals hiding in the background), & the board books are nice & sturdy. Also another thing I love about these books is that each story has some sort of counting involved & Little Pea also lists the days of the week. My son enjoys counting along with me or by himself on those pages so I feel like that's an added bonus. All around, I just really enjoy these books & I'm very glad I bought them.
This is my favorite book set to give as a shower/birthday gift. The illutrations are adorable and the stories are hilarious (my daughter loves the pea's dialogue when he has to eat the candy!). I love to package this up with swaddles (Aden & Anais bamboo are the best!) and some cute jammies for a couple when they first learn they are going to have a baby. It also works as party of a "reading" gift for a one-year-old.
The books were shipped fast but unfortunately the case the books came in and the corner of one of the books was crushed. Not sure it it happened in shipping or not.The books contents are really cute though. I wasn't familiar with them but they were a recommendation to me. They are drawings and aren't particularly overly colorful but the story's are great and teach cute lessons. My daughter (4 months) seems to really enjoy them and they do keep her attention with the pictures.I would buy these or recommend them for others!
This set is the best book set! When my daughters were little, we wore them out because they loved them all so much. I must've given away about 5 or 6 sets to other kids (both boys and girls) over the years because they're so cute and hilarious. The illustrations are simple and the storylines are so creative and funny for all ages, as most of Amy Krouse Rosenthal's books are. If you don't have it in your library, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.
These books are so cute! I love that they are the board books because they hold up better than books with pages. They are also the perfect length as to not cause boredom and include fun parts for participation from little ones!
I know these books have NOTHING to do with the potty, but my daughter likes to read them while sitting on the potty. The small size makes them easy for her to hold, and the simple illustrations hold her interest. She can't read it yet, but she likes us to read them to her. Out of the three, her favorite is "Little Pea". I think it's illustrations of the candies that Little Pea has to eat that makes her want to revisit the book over and over. Text is a little wordy on some pages for a toddler, but mine will listen to it. The plot of all 3 books is fairly the same, with different situations (eating dinner (Pea), bedtime (Hoot) and clean-up time (Pig)). I think the familiar pretext of the plot is nice for toddlers, since they'll know what to expect.
