Customer Reviews

Grandma's Sharing Book

This is an ideal book to share with your granddaughter. You can read the book and she can take out the tiny letters. Then you can ensure she can return the letters to the envelopes so that they will not be lost for the next time. Illustrations are beautiful. I bought this for my personal collection as I collect mermaids. Also, it has given me the idea that I can create new letters to my granddaughter to add to her imagination. When she gets older, she can write back.

The Perfect Gift

This book is so well done, from the story to the illustrations, the letters and 'gifts' that are left along the way. My 4 yr old has been talking about Princess Kora for a year. My husband and I travel for work so everytime we go we leave notes in the book and have really extended the story. It has been a very popular gift!! You won't be disppointed.

really cute book

This book was well thought out. The story is cute and the extra goodies are fun.
