Customer Reviews

Huge Harold

Bill Peet is a fabulous writer. His rhyming technique makes his books easy to read. Huge Harold is my favorite book of Bill Peets by far.... You'll fall in love with Huge Harold. I did. In most of his books you start out feeling sorry for main character, but they all end up on top in the end. It really give you a good feeling inside. There are good morals to his stories, and I enjoy reading every one of them over and over again.

Huge Harold - I've Found You!

I am a 41 year old mother of three - when I was a child my mother used to read this book to me MANY times a day. It was by far my all time favorite. My mother passed away not quite a year ago and I thought I would surely find the book when we went through her house - it was nowhere to be found. She probably destroyed it because I'm certain she was very sick of reading it time after time (just kidding). I am purchasing this classic so I can share it with my children. I am sure they will grow to love it just as much as I did! Huge Harold is one of the greatest children's books out there - it is very easy reading and very easy to listen to. The illustrations are wonderful. A double thumbs up to Bill Peet!

A Wonderful Story for Children, I Had to Buy it For Mine.

My grandmother bought me a signed copy of Huge Harold about 23years ago. I unfortunately lost that copy but have been looking for acopy for my children. Bill Peet is a wonderful author.

After 38 years, this book still remains one of my favorite!

My brother received this book as a gift in 1961. We all loved it right from the start. It rhymes, and the story has a sweet message for kids. Most of all, the illustrations are wonderful!

Everybody needs their own Harold

Even at 21, Bill Peet is my favorite author. I truely wish he was more popular so that his books would be more available. Move over Good Night Moon for this adorable rabbit and the goodness of just one man.
