This book is absolutely adorable. The illustrations are charming, the font is perfect, and the story is very sweet. It follows Humphrey, a little elephant, as he collects his favorite things looking for the perfect place to play. It is a wonderful gift from a mother to a child (the ending will melt every mother's heart!) I gave it to my daughter as a first birthday present, and she won't enjoy the story for a year or two yet (too many words to a page for a 1 year old) but I had to have it for her. There is also a stuffed Humphrey available that I bought her at FAO Schwarz.
I found a Humphrey's Corner baby book while I was pregnant with my son and decided that this had to be the theme for my sons nursery, and then while looking for the stuff for his nursery, found the books and fell even deeper in love with Humphrey, these stories are good wholesome, innocent and fun stories, I like reading them to my son, and he likes hearing them. I too, got him the stuffed Humphrey, and baby Jack. I wish there were more stars, cause I would give a ton more.
I first purchased this book because the illustrations were amazing. Then I read the story and I LOVED it. Immediately I went out and bought Humphrey's Bedtime and Humphrey's Family. I'm now recommending and giving them as a gift- with a snuggly stuffed Humphrey. I recommend this book to everyone!
Reading this book gave me warm fuzzies all over! Humphrey is a typical toddler who keeps busy throughout the house. He makes messes without meaning to. I love the author's insight on what these messes mean to Humphrey. Mom doesn't scold him because she understands this is what busy toddlers do. My favorite part is when Humphrey goes into his special play place that mom has created just for him. Beautiful, lovingly done illustrations.Do I recommend this book? YES. A great book for the little ones
