This review is from: Jan Brett's Snowy Treasury (Hardcover)

This collection of 4 beloved stories by Jan Brett is value for money and would make a perfect Christmas/holiday gift. The stories in this treasury include "Gingerbread Baby" which is set in Switzerland, "The Mitten" which is based in the Ukraine,"The Hat" which is set in Denmark, and finally, "The Three Snow Bears" based in the Arctic. The illustrations are vivid, and beautifully rendered. These stories are perfect for children ages 4-8, and even older readers. There's a sense of timeless appeal about these stories, and they are also great for reading aloud. A wonderful collection!

As with all the Jan Brett books that I've read, this one is a gem. It's also a bargain at Amazon compared to buying the individual hardcover books. My grand-daughter aged 6 loves it!
