Festivals Books

i really enjoyed the book and i can hardly wait until the next one comes out. i have 9 santa paws books

I bought this for my Grandaughter's 10th Birthday. She enjoys the Santa Paws Books by Kris Edwards and especially liked this one. I would recommend all of the books.

Each of my children had a copy and wore them out. It is a wonderful holiday gift and a good interactive story for all preschoolers and toddlers. Each child should have their own copy.

My daughter wore the pages off this book as a toddler. It is fun and interactive. I am purchasing a book for my 2 year old nephew and another copy for our home. This is a great gift book for your child or grandchild.

my kid loves it because she totally loves everything about santa clause,..it is a short enough book for the kids,..but long enough for them to read to at night

This is the most unique Santa story you will ever read. My 2-year-old daughter loves the story and asks me to read it again and again. Santa travels to Spain for a vacation but goes incognito. In a family with 3 children, the two older ones make fun of this "weird old guy" and almost don't get their Christmas presents when they aren't nice enough to their younger brother. The younger brother, on the other hand, is as nice to "Reuben" as he is to everyone else, and is rewarded for it.

This book helps children learn a lesson of how to face your fears. It also shows them that often the things they are afraid of are just silly harmless things or an animal that is more afraid of them. It is also a fun and silly book that kids love!

My children love this book we have read it everynight for the past month. I don't know if they will ever get tired of this book. Hats off to Katie Davis she is wonderfull and really seems to know what kids will like. I give this book two thumbs and two big toes way up.

IF YOU LIKED THE OTHER SHAOEY AND DOT BOOKS, YOU WILL LOVE THIS ONE.
THIS IS ANOTHER MUST IF YOU ARE ADOPTING FROM CHINA.

We love this book and the other Shaoey and Dot books as well. Very sweet books.

My sister and I both fell in love with all of John Goodall's little books as children. This, as well as most of his others, feature beautiful Victorian illusrations (though not at all fussy) of animals getting into mischief and interesting situations. The best part of these is that every other page is cut in half, so when you flip it over it forms a new illustration (hard to describe, but the effect is wonderful). Also these books are wordless, so my three-year old as well as his eight-year old cousin both enjoy these. This book tends to be a bit more feminine, as is Naughty Nancy. For boys and girls both I highly recommend the Creepy Castle, or any of the Paddy books (all by this author).

I had this book as a child and it was my absolute favorite. The illustrations are beautiful, and because there are no words, the parent can make up a story. Later, the child can start making up his own version. I think it's great for building a child's imagination

As always, Will Moses (as did his Grama before him) has hit the heart of rural America in his enchanting scenes. Don't forget to look for the full moon in each of his paintings! Silent Night and the Night Before Christmas were no exceptions. We sent one to our friends in Scotland who loved it!

Silent Night by Will Moses is a sweet tale remeniscent of an old time story teller spinning his words into visions of an everyday Christmas miracle. Beautifully illustrated, a childs book that would please all generations.

This is an I CAN READ book, Level 1, so a child in first grade can probably read it herself. It makes a great Easter gift. Our kids loved getting this book.

From the name, this masterpiece of poetic songs may seem childish. What a deception! I may be a bit old for kiddy books, (I'm 47), but I cried the first time I read this book. I was so shocked when it went out of print. I am organizing a strike against those naughty publishers. SILLY TILLY live forever!

I also disagree with the review that said this book is not for the preschool set. I think I read this 10 times a day to my 3 and 5 year olds for about a month! They LOVED it and weren't scared at all. A great fun read for the adults as well as the children.

As a children's librarian and the mother of two preschoolers, I disagree with the School Library Journal review (above) which characterized this book as too scary for preschoolers. Both at work and at home, the preschoolers with whom I've shared this have found it delightly scary ... It generated joyous guffaws and not terrified shivers. I recommend to my fellow children's librarians that they include this book in their preschool story time rotations. You - and the kids - will be happy you did!

Colorful illustrations and cute text... One of our favorites!

It's important for all babies and toddlers to touch everything, after all this is how they explore and learn about the world around them. I really like this book because each page has a parent and their child... it could be easily be a Mother or Father with their daughter or son. Each page has a fuzzy spot that you can start out and put the childs' finger on it, then later have your child find where the fuzzy spot is. I love to read this to my daughter and tickle her under her chin on " You're someone's puppy love page! She always giggles when we read this and excitely expect the page when she knows she's going to get softly tickled!
