5.0 out of 5 stars Very pleasing story and a terrific bedtime book, October 14, 1999

This review is from: The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer (Hardcover)

My 5 year old son, Matthew, enjoys this story and has me read it occasionally at bedtime. The routine is to read the page then show the pictures. He thinks the illustrations of the Baby Snoogle Fleejer are quite funny and I think he understands the basic ideas of the story. I enjoy the story, too, and am especially pleased that the author is Jimmy Carter, a man that I always admired. He has written a truly unique story and his daughters' illustrations are exceptional. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Review, March 10, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer (Hardcover)

This book was interesting for me to read and easy to understand. I liked the book and hope that more will read it and enjoy it too. The book was about a crippled boy who wasn't like the rest of the little boys. He could not run or play. One day, he became very brave and the other kids respected him for that. I hope that you will read this book and find out what happened to him and how he became brave.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Tale, March 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer (Hardcover)

Jimmy Carter has many facets to his personality, and it is charming to see one of them displayed here with his story of a crippled child. I am sure the Carter children and grandchildren all enjoyed hearing him share this one over the years. I bought this for my niece's fifth birthday. She will enjoy the colorful illustrations by Amy Carter, also. I recommend this book for any public or private library.
