Yes, these are small, about 4" x 4"--thus the "pocket" in the title--and this size is absolutely perfect for a toddler. My 2 year old daughter (25 months) has been in love with these carol books since the moment she saw them! They are sturdy little board books, just the right size for tiny hands. She carries them around everywhere, proudly proclaiming "My Christmas books!"--and loves taking them out of and putting them back into the box, again. The illustrations are bright, simple, fun and colorful, depicting playful, snowy holiday scenes with people, animals and touching traditional Christmas scenes and Nativity illustrations, which capture a small child's interest. Each book contains approximately 1-2 verses and 1-2 choruses of each carol, perfectly suited for a toddler's attention span! With classics such as: Jingle Bells, Deck The Hall, O Christmas Tree, Away in a Manger, The First Noel and Silent Night--there's a perfect balance of carol styles and material here to open up a fun dialogue about the meaning of these songs, and to pass on the tradition to a new generation. Ever since we received these books, we have ended up singing them several times a day--and it has really been a fun way to get into the Christmas spirit!
I got this for my son the Christmas before last. He loves this set of books. They are just right for a toddler's hands. They are about 2 1/2 inches by 3 inches each. They are board books. The box it comes in is flimsy and probably won't make it through a third Christmas. But the book all still look brand new and my son is rough on books. The books are just Christmas Carols with pictures. I would recommend these. They are excellent for the diaper bag.
I didn't look at what size these books are and... they are small. Ordered for 19 month olds so not a problem and they will probably just look at a few times then forget. We're using them for a book advent calender type thing. Highly recommend the priddy books but maybe next time I'll look to see how small the books are. Literally they are for a pocket library.
I got these at the tail end of the Christmas season, but my daughter loves them and carries them all over the place. They are very tiny, but they actually end up being perfect for her tiny hands! I'm sure these would make an awesome stocking stuffer type gift. Great value for the price! :)
The books are very small, which is no problem considering the target audience. The art and production quality are nothing fancy, but each board book is a fun way to introduce little ones to Christmas carols.
First, let me state that the dimensions of the books are clearly and accurately listed in the product details. However, they are too small in my opinion. There are only a few words per page, so it seems like all you are doing is pausing the song to turn the super small pages. They are just fine if you are OK with the page turning, but a more standard size book might be more appropriate.
These books are so cute and I got them at a great price. The illustrations are much better than I anticipated. They are small but I read the dimensions before I purchased them so I knew what to expect.
These would make great stocking stuffers! They fit perfectly in my 1 1/2 year old's hands and he enjoys looking at them. They're adorable and fun for introducing some classic Christmas songs.
