Great Childrens Books

The Author Bill Peet has the gift to spark the imagination of all children. His stories are amazing. There are over 30 kids books by him and I recommend them all!No Such Things

Giggles for you kiddo

My 6 1/2 year old daughter loves this book. It's quickly become her favorite, and we read it multiple times at bedtime every night. I find his writing and illustrations to be very imaginative, creative and clever. A fun book. My personal favorite "No Such Thing" creature is the cross between the bear and the fox that has backward feet, walks on its hind legs, leaving tracks in the snow that lead the hunters the opposite direction from which he's actually walking.

Every child should read this

I can only name a few of the many, many books I read as a child, and this is one of them. This is an absolutley marvelous book that every child should be able to read. The illustrations in it are great and each animal will make a kid giggle with delight. Oozing with imagination this a book anyone can enjoy, and it really turned me on to reading as a child. Please get this for your kid.

Wonderful Multi-Generational Book

I used to check out this book when I was child. My friends and I used to race to the P section of the school library to check out all of Bill Peet's books. His stories are so fun and imaginative. The illustrations pop off the pages and are completely captivationg. I can't wait to read this story to my little boy. I know he will love it as much as I still do!

No Such Things

A wonderful story that gives the reader a glimpse of thecreative talent of Bill Peet. The silly and colorful characters inthis book have some familiar personality traits which you or your child will be able to identify. Some of the animals may look familiar as well. This book would make a great addition to any Bill Peet or whimsical book collection.
