Customer Reviews

A favourite at our house

We read this book at least once a day when my daughter was 18 months old, until she was three. She really identified with Annie Rose, and the day-to-day events in Annie Rose's life. As a parent, I enjoyed this book too, even after the one-millionth reading. I think toddlers and preschoolers really enjoy the peeks at everyday life that Shirley Hughes creates.

This is the sweetest book for babies and young children.

I named my baby girl, Annie Rose, and so when I found out about this book I had to snatch one up! It is an adorable and gentle little poetry book for young children. My baby enjoys it; even my 3- and 5-year-old boys love it. They think Annie Rose is so funny and they like her big brother, Alphie too. We have read this book many times together and have enjoyed it every time.

A two-year-old's thought on this book.

My two-year-old daughter recently received this book for her birthday. She was immediately intrigued by it and wanted it read to her often. About two days later she picked it up once again to have it read to her and announced, "I yove dis book."
