Customer Reviews

Great Book

I bought this to read to my grandkids,but I probably like it even better than they do. It's a gentle book with gentle and, to my eye, beautiful illustrations. Percy's hut looks so cozy (cosy) that I wouldn't mind spending some time in there myself on a snowy evening. I have bought another Percy book, and have my eye on a third one for Christmas, but so far One Snowy Night is still my favorite.

Warm in all seasons

This was our introduction to the Percy the Park Keeper stories and the kids and I love them. This is a fun tale of kind-hearted Percy letting the park creatures into his cabin to keep warm until there's no more room. But then... Very cute book.

My son loves this book

My son received this book for Christmas and he loves the story and the pictures and we love reading it to him. I recently read it to the kids who attend his preschool and they loved it and thought it was funny. They especially loved searching for animals and other items in the poster at the back of the book. I think the poster is a fantastic touch and a good learning activity also.

One Snowy Night

Excellent first book from Nick Butterworth introducing the kind, lovable character Percy the park keeper. A fun story in which Percy is visited by animals in the park, who all need a place to sleep because of the cold. Lots of fun here, as Percy lives in a little hut which soon becomes crowded. Have fun with animal voices as you read to your little ones. Cute surprise at the end as a strange noise is heard... the animals are scared, then they find out it's only someone they all know. Charming pictures that please parents and children, lots to look at and a blast for you to read with a little one.

Warmth of friends on cold winter days complete with hotchoc.

I bought the book merely just looking at the pictures, they are so beautiful. The story itself, even better: based around a circle of friends of Percy the park keeper on a cold winter night. You can see and feel the warmth of Percy's house that he shares with all his friends. Easy to read and mix with soundeffects that children love and easy to follow for as yound as one year olds. Our book is falling apart from overuse but we just cannot put it down. The book is a part of four seasons on the Park. Same friends later appear in other stories that we love; the other books represent spring, summer and autumn.
