A Little Books Boxed Set Featuring Little Pea - Little Hoot

First I liked the story of "Little Pea" and looked for the book. The story is fun and the picture is cute. I tried this set but I think it was better for me to buy only "Little Pea" because the details of the stories are different, though, the pattern of them are almost same.

My 15 month daughter loves "Little Pea and Little Hoot" books. Every time we pull out the box set she would get so excited and then she would pull out those 2 books and brings it to us so we could read it to her!! Cutest thing ever!! Would definitely recommended to all parents!

The Turkeybird (My son's opinion, age 3) Takes Over: "Let me just take the reigns while Littlebug goes off to chew on some other book. I'm not sure exactly why my parents thought that these books would be more appropriate for Littlebug(my daughter, age 1), but they were wrong. She received them this Christmas and no sooner had she received them did she toss them to the side for a more flashy glowing singing worm thing. In my opinion, she's made a grievous mistake. These books will soon become classics, as anyone with any taste will obviously see upon their first reading.

"Now, I'm not going to say that Littlebug doesn't have any good taste (she must, she likes my "That's Not My Truck" book), it just so happens that in this particular case she has fallen a bit short. In fact, I think she may have fallen asleep.

"But that's besides the point! These books have everything! From skateboarding to playing with dad to going to school and even cleaning up my room (which believe it or not, I like to do). Just incredible books with wonderful fun friends I'm sure you'll enjoy. Pea, Hoot and Oink are some of the best characters in modern literature and you would be just silly not to pick these up!"

Mom's Two Cents: "When the Turkeybird speaks, he speaks. I won't argue one bit. We judged a book by it's cover so to say and by so doing gave the wrong book to the wrong child. That's not to say that Littlebug won't enjoy these in a year or so from now, because I'm pretty sure she will, she just doesn't today.

"He's right though, these are great books! For me as well as for the kids. I honestly LOVE reading these aloud to The Turkeybird. They're so fun and entertaining, but also have a twist of teaching to them. Each book focuses on a different point of a child's life of learning, be it sleeping, what to eat or cleaning up. Each one is taught in such a way that it makes each task seem like the enjoyable part of the day and not the chore to be completed. The illustrations are simple and beautiful. And overall wonderful books, great for the whole family. (I think I'd even read them without children.)"

The1stdaughter Recommends: Age 3 and older, boys and girls alike will love these delightful stories.

Cute artwork, but kind of a mixed message with the stories. I suppose my son is too young to really understand the story at this point, but I find myself wondering what exactly the message the books are trying to send. I totally get the irony of it all, but does a child get it?

This is such an adorable collection of stories! My two year old loves them and understands the humor. I enjoy reading them to her over and over, each time hoping that she would REALLY connect with Little Hoot and want to go to bed a little earlier! Darling illustrations and imaginative concept. Recommended for those with young children... especially those that don't want to eat or sleep or clean their rooms!
