5.0 out of 5 stars A childhood favorite I'm passing along., June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Snipp, Snapp, Snurr, and the Red Shoes (Paperback)

My grandma first read this book to me when I was four (many, many years ago). She died not long after, but the name of this favorite book always stayed with me and I searched high and low for it. Eventually, it came back into print -- just in time for me to share it with my niece and nephew. They love it -- and its message of the satisfaction derived from selfless acts -- as much as I did and do. I can almost hear my grandma's voice as I read...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Single Coin Leads to Adventure, September 11, 2003

This review is from: Snipp, Snapp, Snurr, and the Gingerbread (Paperback)

Snipp, Snapp and Snurr, the three Swedish boys, go for a walk one day but don't know where to go. But then they meet a kindly neighbor who gives them a coin to spend at the baker's. The boys rush off and watch the baker prepare a large batch of gingerbread and the stage is set.

The three boys are so interested that they crowd forward and fall into the batter. Now they are three gingerbread boys. As they flee from the baker, they are noticed by others in their town until they are taken to the palace by a princess.

But in the end, the boys are happy to return home and be scrubbed clean.

One never knows what Snipp, Snapp and Snurr will get up to, but it is sure to make an enjoyable tale. Each pair of pages has the story on one side and a beautifully painted illustration by the author on the other. If you like Snipp, Snapp and Snurr, check out Flick, Ricka and Dicka.

This review is from: Snipp, Snapp, Snurr, and the Red Shoes (Paperback)

55 years ago, when I was in first grade, I could hardly wait for the bookmobile to come every-other week, so that I could check out this book or others in the series. Snipp, Snapp, Snurr and Flicka, Ricka and Dicka had many wonderful adventures and the illustrations are beautiful. I was always happy after reading one of these books and thought of them often over the years when my children were growing up.

How thrilled I was to see them back in print! The stories are simple, yet each one sends a message of value to a child.

Grandparents, your little ones should have the joy of visiting with Snipp, Snapp, Snurr and Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka.
