5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Kids @ Teens Read Too, September 28, 2006

This review is from: Little Critter: Just a Snowy Day (Hardcover)

My kids have always loved interactive storybooks, the kind with touch-and-feel pages, pull-tabs, etc. We also collect the LITTLE CRITTER storybooks, and JUST A SNOWY DAY is a perfect addition to our collection!

Filled with amazing touch-and-feel pages that include smooth new rubber boots, a fuzzy pompon on a winter hat, a furry lining of a winter coat, and a nice, snuggly blanket, there's plenty to choose from. What makes this book extra special are the additional interactive pages--a scratch-and-sniff mug of hot cocoa, a shower curtain to open, a sled to pull, and a wheel to make the snow fall outside.

This is a wonderful book for toddlers, and for beginning readers such as my daughter. It's a book all LITTLE CRITTER fans will enjoy and will be happy that this book has been put back into print. A real winner for everyone involved!

This review is from: Little Critter: Just a Snowy Day (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful book for young children. I bought it for my daughter years ago, but our copy is torn and tattered. The only warning I give with this book is that it is slightly delicate for children who aren't easy on books, but well worth it. The book includes a scratch and sniff cup of hot cocoa, a shower door that you pull open, shiny boots to feel, a fuzzy blanket, doors to open, and my personal favorite - a wheel that turns to produce falling snow. The expressions on all the Little Critter faces are so cute too. It is one of our absolute favorites and I can't recommend it highly enough. I'm buying a copy for each of my children to pass on to THEIR children someday.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read, March 8, 2007

This review is from: Little Critter: Just a Snowy Day (Hardcover)

An enjoyable adventure in the snow with lots of fun pop ups and moveable items. My only concern is how easily a child can break some of the pop ups, a little guideance from an adult the first few times should eliminate this issue.
