A Treasury of 8 Books

This book is precious

I have hundreds of kids books and my kids have been enjoying this book for years. The stories deal with way more complex concepts than typical children’s book at the same reading level. Before I made this purchase we’ve been borrowing it from the library multiple times.

Beautiful volume of Tomi's books. Wonderful artwork and quality. A bit disappointed at first, I thought this was a set of 8 books this is actually a single book with 8 stories. My disappointment was short lived. I am still happy with my purchase. A great addition to my son's library.

Ungerer is a master of children's literature, his works are perhaps not so well known as other authors but the quality of the illustrations and narrative are simply mind blowing. This collection delivers hours of imaginative histories ideal to keep your kids away from the electronic entertainment (at least for a good while)

Between him and Dick Gackenbach we’re set in fun bizarre stories for the kiddos

This book is great!

Get it, great for ALL ages. My 18month old loves it. Especially moon man because he is obsessed with the moon. Can usually only make it through one or two stories at this age.

The book is beautiful---an excellent collection of some of Tomi Ungerer's best children's books. It was sent promptly and in perfect condition.

So interesting to also know about the author which put his stories, this collection, into context and to understand what he was aiming to achieve in his writing. I was especially looking for “Otto” which seems to be out of print in the UK while is still, importantly, in Europe is used as a text for teaching about WW11. I wonder why we have dropped such an interesting resource and urge others to try to get access to it and encourage its re-print. Well worth it. Stories are suitable from 5yrs but will be still enjoyed by older children and, with an adult’s support, further depth will be appreciated.

The rewards contained inside this hefty anthology are endless. A lusciously coloured sleeve houses a pink cloth-bound monograph, stylishly typeset in debossed lettering. This is masterly storytelling with a big heart. Tracking down some of these stories in English has proved to be tricky, so it is a real treat to find all of Ungerer's key stories in one handsomely printed tome. Tales to ignite the heart and feed the imagination. Children's books simply do not get better than this.

Great stories and illustrations from an absolute master.

This was a beautiful gift to give.

Beautiful stories with beautiful images - even small kids love it!
