    Nutshell Library (Caldecott Collection) has been rated 4 starsA little bit of joy in a little set of books

    These were a set I remember from when I was young - and they are still great. Wonderful illustrations from the creative (where the wild things are) Sendak, easy to read, great rhymes and even educational. Quirky sense of humour and my daughter loves the size so they encourag her to take the books and read them herself. In short, 4 endearing, quality works well worth keeping in the family library forever!

    I always get this small collection of books by Sendak when I get a baby gift. My youngest daughter got this set long ago from her godparents and they are worn and much loved, by her parents as well as my daughter, and are now in use by her children. They are catchy, memorable rhyming stories that stay with you forever and just make you happy. The small size fits so neatly and comfortably into little hands. They become “companions” the way good books are meant to do. I highly recommend this “Nutshell Library” to everyone. Adults should have their own set!

    PERFECT FOR POCKETS, BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE BIGGER. STILL WORTH THE MONEY. PERFECT FOR THOSE WHO KNOW THE STORIES AND A MUST FOR THOSE WHO DON’T .

    What a gift is childhood. Twenty five years ago we bought these books for our children, and today we get to buy them for our first grandchild.n

    I grew up with a borrowed set of these. When I found out I was pregnant I just knew I had to have a set to add to our little library.
