Customer Reviews

Lovely story & beautiful illustrations

Both of my boys enjoy reading this book over and over again. They are 9 and 6 years old. I like exposing them to different cultures through books and this is a beautiful story with enough text to keep my older son interested. I think it is a book which both girls and boys will enjoy.

One of our absolute favorites

Little Oh is an exquisite book: beautifully written, even more beautifully illustrated. Like the best children books, it appeals to different levels so adults can read it over and over on request and not find it tedious (indeed the ending remains powerful every time). It is not for toddlers but for kids who can handle and follow a longer story -- and I note that my sons like it as much as my daughter does.

Little Oh

I just read this story to my soon to be five year-old daughter. We borrowed from our local library. She loved it and I loved it. We are going to add this book to our personal library.

Absolutely Magical!Winsome Story & Illustrations to Match

The first time my daughter and I read "Little Oh" I knew we would need a copy of it in her personal library. Little Oh rates right up there with Mulan when it comes to stories for little girls.

Wonderful!

This is my 6 year old daughter's favorite boo
