5.0 out of 5 stars Robert the Rose Horse pleases two generations, March 30, 2000
By L. Notley (Oakville, Canada) - See all my reviews
This book is my absolute favorite children's book. I have my original copy, and read it to my 21 month old almost every day. He loves Robert, and yells "Bless you Robert!" after every sneeze. I am so glad to see its been reissued and available, as I want to buy it for my friends' children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for kids ., July 16, 1999
By A Customer
this has got to be the best book for kids My friends kids love this book . I have bought it for other friends that have kids and they also love it. It is so good for one reason is younger kids can get into the part where Robert starts to sneeze. . . The older kids can take part in reading the book with you . That was always the best part of reading with chirlden . I'm so glad you have this book and I will be getting for my friends kids. Thank you again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have, April 13, 2003
By M. Yetter (El Paso, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We had this book and the copy was so old that it fell apart from reading it so much. My son who is now 4, memorized it at age 2 and we are purchasing another copy because he asked for it the other day so that he could read it to his two year old sister. It is easy to read and understand and children really enjoy it. We highly recommend it and it makes a great gift.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read, except for the guns!
I agree with the last parent: It's a very fun book; Robert sneezes so much and so hard that everything falls down & so making the "achoo" sounds is good interactive fun. Read more
