Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - It may be a classic, but it doesn't interest everyone...
We received this as a present for our daughter, and our first thought was "How adorable!" The box set is very cute, and the brown fur covered book is certainly attractive to a child's curious little fingers, but that is where it ends for us.

Our daughter enjoys petting and pulling the fur, but the story and illustrations do not hold her attention. Even the sounds (kerchoo, thump, kerplunk, ssip, etc.) didn't catch her attention as they usually do. The illustrations are softer than ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - illustrations disappointing
THe same child-centric text that entranced my daughter 30 years ago, and other people's daughters 30 years before that, and the same fur-covered binding that appealed to them, but in a format 3 to 4 times the size. Easier for grown-ups to hold, not so much fun for children. But compared with the reprinted original version, the color in the illustrations is a real disappointment (dark and dreary, reminded me of rotting vegetables).



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Little fur famioly
This is the first book that any parent should buy for their child. It is more fun than any other book for the child, parent, grandparent or great grandparent.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cute story.
This is a real cute story. Its just long enough to keep my two year olds interest before bed so that's a definite plus. Thanks.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of our favorites
We received this book as a gift when my oldest was a baby. It is an amazing little, quirky kind of book - and the song at the end I made up our own little tune too. Even my older children gather around when I read it to the youngest. It is very sweet, simple and beautiful. Great for very young children 0-5.
