        Comments about Nutshell Library:

        I'll be the first to admit that when my older daughter received this set as a gift for her first birthday I was skeptical. The books looked great for a slightly older child, but I thought my board book obsessed toddler would be bored by the longer stories and frustrated with the small size and paper pages. Boy was I wrong! The tiny size is perfect for little hands and the stories are fun for kids and adults alike. These have been far and away the favorite books in our house (for both our now 2.5 year old and her 1 year old sister) since we received them. They love their "little red books" and especially love "reading" them on their own. (They are also great distractions for diaper changing time!) Our first set is already well worn/loved and as to avoid future arguments over whose turn it is to read "Pierre" I am happily ordering a second set for my younger daughter's birthday!

          This mini-book collection was a favorite from my own childhood. I was delighted to rediscover it here and share it with my child. PIERRE was my favorite and I am sure that my Pierre will cherish this collection as I do.
