Cute!!!!!!!!!

I ordered this because I wanted all of the stories in this collection. The stories are all educational in some way and very cute. "Pierre" teaches the moral of caring. "Chicken Soup With Rice" teaches about months. "One Was Johnny" teaches about counting. "Alligators All Around" teach about the alphabet. If you have a problem with small books I would review the product specifications. The set is very small, but my daughter loves it and it is perfect for her little hands. I do not have any trouble holding or reading the small books. I think it saves space. I know we will treasure this book set for years to come. The quality is great!

Big Little Books

These are the most fabulous books ever. I had them when I was a child and always purchase them for new parents/babies. They are well written, beautifully illustrated, and quite wonderful. The rhymes are fun and the cautionary tale is a delight. In just four little books you can teach your child the alphabet, the months, counting and attitude adjustment! You can't go wrong with these little books.

A Delightful Collection for Little Hands

Maurice Sendak's Nutshell Library is a group of tiny, but practical books that are meant to teach youngsters things like the alphabet, counting to ten (and reverse counting), months of the year, and a lesson regarding attitude. Each book, illustrated in Sendak's trademark style, is whimsical and entertaining.
Although adults might find it difficult to turn the tiny pages, little kids will find the books perfectly proportioned to their pint-sized paws.
My two-year-old son likes holding the books and flipping through the pages. My five-year-old daugher enjoys helping me read/sing the stories. Their favorites are Pierre and Chicken Soup With Rice. I like this classic collection and think it is a very good addition to a child's home library.

"Miniature doesn't cut it"

When other people wrote very small in their reviews, I didn't understand how ABSOLUTELY MINIATURE these books were. They seem more like 2" X 2"!!
Very hard to read with the children. Partly, because they want to look at the pictures while I read and that's impossible! The stories are adorable and I totally recommend these books and anything this author has written!!! But, come on!!!! This tiny version should have been made so that the reader can see the words. I have 20/20 vision and I know my vision isn't the problem!!
