Customer Reviews

Bear Party

I am replacing a book my father got for me 55 years ago or so. The book was misplaced in transit and when I made the seller aware of the problem it was fixed in a timely fashion. The book is in new condition and Woody's books was responsive to my need. Great Job.

oldie but goodie

I grew up with this book and it made a lasting impression on me. It's the costumes I remember from childhood.

A Beautiful, Magical, Gem of a Book!

This quiet gem of a book has illustrations which transcend the merely beautiful - they evoke a kind of deeply-felt otherworldliness, in the same way that dreams can. I had this book as a child, and it left a special, magical, imprint unlike any other book I remember. It's a nice story as well. It's a pity that it seems to be out of print. Grab it if you have the chance. I have only seen ( & own) the hardcover edition, so I don't know how thw softcover measures up.

This book teaches children about being creative in making freinds and how simple it is to be freindly and have a good time. My children loved it and we read it repeatedly.

Koala bears go to a costume ball!

The bears of Koala Park in Australia all become angry and stop speaking to each other. This bothers the wise old bear so he decides to throw a costume ball, where they can become friendly again not knowing who they are talking to. Beautifully illustrated by the author, this was a 1951 Caldecott Honor book.
