Review:Please be aware this is one oversized large volume. The title "boxed" threw me off and I thought it was a boxed set of three novels. hovever that said, this set is RECOMMENDED! I just finished this large volume of all 3 works: Claus, Jack, and Flury. You need to read them all, all though you could skip the middle one (but why?). The first one, Claus, is the necessary key to the others. Rated G for all audiences. Teens may enjoy it as well. Perfect for reading on cold snowy nights and for those ... Read more
Review:The care and affection Tolkien poured into these letters surprised me. I loved the presentation and the transcription in text. The relationship of Father Christmas and dear, funny North Polar Bear was sure to delight and amuse, but , for me, the wonderful painted images and beautiful calligraphy attest to the author's genius. The vintage of the letters evokes the cozy nostalgia a reader looks for in a Christmas narrative. This treasure of Tolkien's children is a generous gift to his vast a... Read more
Review:My daughter is pretty obsessed with all the Pete the Cat books and honestly they're all a perfect addition to our nighttime routine. I saw this one was cheap AND hardcover and got excited. The excitement didn't stop when we received the book considering I had no idea there were Easter cards, a poster, and stickers included.... My daughter was over the moon and we immediately took out the cards and wrote them out for all her friends. Read more
Review:Here comes Pete again with another story about being true to yourself. I love the messages that Pete shares in his stories and this book is no exception. This is a funny story about all the different clothes Pete's friends think he should wear. In an attempt to be "cool", Pete wears everything at once! I love the drawing style and the deadpan expression of Pete. What's silly is how my 3 year old is able to tell if Pete is happy or sad even though his expression doesn't change much. A great conve...

Review:Pete the Cat visits the first Thanksgiving in this children's book. There are lift-up flaps on nearly every page with additional story information. I don't care for the lift-up flaps myself but this book was for our grand daughter. She really enjoys lifting up those flaps to show us there's more to the story. With that I must admit that the flap technique succeeded in keeping her interested in this book; beginning to end, over and over again. She adores Pete the Cat stories now. The Thanksg... Read more
Review:My daughter loves Pete the Cat. When she pulled this out of the Amazon envelope yesterday, I literally saw her eyes light up :)
And this is a great deal. The book comes with a poster, stickers, and cards. Read more
Review:Chapter book flimsy paper with black and white illustrations which are few and far between. The cover and pages seem very thin. But the stories are captivating and excite the imagination as you would hope. Read more
Review:a great little book. product fit the description of the seller (slightly used) but was just fine. We used a few passages from the book as a reading at our wedding. "I like you, because you're a good person to like" yada, yada :) Read more
Review:I bought this book for my grandson this Christmas. He is just 1 year old but already enjoys having his parents read to him. It's a fast and easy book for children to understand. Dr. Seuss tries to put a lesson of learning in each story. I read this book to my own son 39 years ago and both of us still enjoy and buy Dr. Seuss. Read more
Review:The book itself, and the message are beautiful. My four-year-old wants to read it over and over, and she makes up her own pages in keeping with the book's wording: "I love you when...." I love it :) Read more
