The 2 book and dvd set arrives handsomely boxed and packaged. However, upon opening the original set ordered, I found the book's cover to be covered in a clear plastic film. The film had holes, air bubbles, tears, and seams all over it - front and back. I returned it and another was sent out immediately, full refund, no questions asked. Would have been happy but the next book arrived in the same condition! As a huge fan of Ezra Jack Keats, this book should have been a perfect gift to my local library- the intention of the purchase. However, the book arrived in such an unattractive condition that I simply wrote the library a check so that they could purchase their own copy elsewhere - hopefully with a better cover! As for the novel itself. Keat's timeless stories, The Snowy Day and Whistle for Willy are classically told & portrayed with original artwork. Simple and understated, the author still holds appeal for both young and older readers. The Snowy Day is a story about a little boy's adventures out in the snow. Whistle for Willie shows the joy this same young boy faces when he finally learns to whistle for his dog. The dvd is a nice addition. This author is a must have for any young reader! Would have gotten 5 stars if not for the lousy contact papering job...

We started reading these story with our two year old and they became favorites immediately.

These are both phenomenal books, and we enjoy the dvd. But I wish we had bought the two books separately. For a 2-year-old, a book is an experience, and it's hard to grasp the concept of a book that is 2 in one.

The film had holes, air bubbles, tears, and seams all over the cover. Poor quality. Although I ask refund, I wish get the perfect set.

I thought this was a neat gift for my 6 yr old niece who asked for The Snowy Day. Didn't read or view myself when it came in but thank you note says she loves it.
