Cowardly Clyde

Fast delivery good products I really like my package

We have read many of Bill Peet’s books over the years- first with my kids, no grandkids. Grandkids love this one especially.

My three year old is both terrified and obsessed with this story! Bill Peet is one of my all time favorites, and slowly but surely I am trying to collect them all. I bought this one for my 8 year old, but it is the little guys who loves it. Something about that Owl-Eyed Ogre.....he is totally captivated. He is the type of child to ask me to read book after book, but rarely the same one again right away, but this one he BEGS me to read again as soon as it is done. He covers his eyes with his blankey when the scary parts come up, peeking just enough. I can't help myself from emphasizing the really dramatic parts, just to really get him going! Bill Peet is obviously a gifted man who understands children and writes books that are easy and fun to read. I wonder if he read his books out loud before finalizing them?? They are all so well written, whether in rhyme or not(this one is not), and have such a natural flow to them. They are easy to get into, and just such a pleasure to read. After refusing to read this one out loud AGAIN last night, my son picked out a new popular book, "Dragons Love Tacos," which I really don't care for to begin with, but as a follow up to Peet's Clyde, it really looked and sounded lame and downright pathetic! It really made me appreciate this book even more! There are plenty of cute, catchy popular new books on the market, and don't get me wrong we do have and love many of them, but there is something about a classic tale like this, moral and eloquent as all Peet's books are, full of magic and wonder. Like a modern but timeless fairytale....complete with silly sound effects:)

This was my son's favorite book as a child. Now that he will be a daddy it was time for a new copy for the next generation.

My nephew read this book when he was little he kept taking it out of the library. Now he can read it to his son

I read this book to my sons over and over when they were children. It was one of their favorite books. I never purchased the book when they were younger, however, they would always seek it out when we visited our local library. I just purchased the book and have been reading it to my 4 year old granddaughter and she loves it just as much. When my adult son saw the book at my home, he was almost as excited as when he was a little boy. He immediately picked it up and started reading it again, saying, " Mom I can't believe you found this book, it was my favorite book when I was little kid". Seeing his reaction was worth the price of the book ten times over!

Bill Peet is one of my favorite kids book authors. I read these as a kid, got them for my kids, nieces and nephews and have put away a set for for my grandchildren someday. The stories and characters are always well designed and draw kids in. The illustrations are bright and colorful while still being somewhat simplistic giving them a lovable cartoon appearance. The stories have great moral and life lessons told in a fun way. These stories have stood the test of time and have been loved by many in my family

Sir Galavant, the dim-witted noodle head (his words, not mine), is so gung-ho on finding a horrible ogre to defeat, that when he does find one he races in without a thought. Clyde, his noble and also fearful steed, sees the foolishness in this but won’t be able to do a thing about it unless he can work up the courage and act… or at least just act. Kids may learn, in this story, that behaving bravely is maybe just about as good as being brave. All my kids love this story and I don’t mind reading it, for the lesson and for the fun.

Bill Peet is my favorite author of picture books for 4 and up. COWARDLY CLYDE is an adventure story with lots of humor and, as usual with Mr. Peet, a good lesson, this one about true bravery. Clyde surprises himself and saves the day, learning that when push comes to shove, he has resources he hadn't expected. Super story with delightful illustrations.

Finally, a good children's book! More than 5 word story, has a hero, a bad guy, not everybody is friends at the end, very refreshing to have a story like this. I will be buying more Bill Peet books shortly.

Anything that Bill Peet has written is very popular in our home. We find the books entertaining and delightful for all the sages represented in our home.

I love Bil peet books. They teach good moral lessons as well as entertain children.

Arrived on time and as described.
