Beautiful not-so-little golden book by .. T. Fitzgibbon (Australia)
I originally expected this collection to come just a series of regular golden books, but i was pleasantly surprised to find it as a single higher quality book with golden edged glossy pages. Due to the paper, all the images look brighter and fresher too.

My daughter loves this book, and her current favourites are The Color Kittens and Good Night Little Bear. Highly recommended!

check out your collection titles carefully by .. J. Gager (Houston.TX)
I didn't like all the stories chosen for this collection. In this case I would rather have chosen individual books. I didn't really pay attention to the titles ahead of time.

A Beautiful Collection by .. Alanna Evans ()
I bought this for my daughter and this is a real steal. You get twelve stories from the Little Golden Book collection. The best ones are the oldie but goodies like "I Can Fly", "The Color Kittens" and "The Wonderful House". The newer stories have hideous artwork with no charm whatsoever... its worth it for the classic stories as the pages are big and colorful, nothing is omitted and the paper is a heavy keepsake type. Not thin/flimsy at all. Highly recommended.

Well loved classics by .. K. Klein (Germany)
These are the stories that my Mom read to me as a little girl and I can't wait to read them to my children as well. The books are very nice and sturdy, great for years of cuddles with your children. The illustrations are just like the originals but bigger than the small golden books. Your kids will love them!

wonderful collection - buy these books for your children! by .. Mom of four (Florida, USA)
This book and the other collections (farm tales, animal tales) are very well done! They are much more enjoyable to read than the "treasury" collections of little golden books which condense the stories, leaving out parts and omitting many of the illustrations. In these books the stories are complete, the pages are glossy, and the illustrations are bright and colorful. My children are able to enjoy reading the old Golden Books that are no longer available individually. We especially love the illustrations by Eloise Wilkin!

Nice Value by .. D. Bailey (HI USA)
Purchased for a child for Christmas. She is just learning to read and I know she will love them. They were a great value. My only worry is that they seem to be more poorly put together then singles I have bought and might come apart after little use. Very nice set of books otherwise.

Golden Books by .. Anna Marie Mincey ()
A wonderful childhood memory. All the favorites are included. I am looking forward to reading them to my child.

Good Selection, poor craftmanship by .. D. Battagliola (Brooklyn, NY)
I have gotten NUMEROUS paper and cardboard cuts from the actual books, which means your child can't really hold the book themselves because the edges are very sharp.

Good story selection though and I was happy they came in a small box to put them in her library all together.

golden books by .. A. Robidoux (PA, USA)
Bought these as a gift for a baby shower. They bring back memories from my childhood, so what a great idea to pass them along to the next generation. These are wonderful books and the pack makes a great shower present.

Product as advertised by .. J. Stone (Huntsvegas, AL)
We recieved the books within the specified timeframe. They arrived new as advertised. Overall, we had a good purchasing experience & will do business with seller again.

HEAVY but worthwhile! by .. S. Jorgenson (WI)
Yes, this book IS heavy! But my tiny 2 year old loves it so much that she lugs it off the shelf and hauls it on the couch for us to read. That's 5 stars in her book. My 4 and 6 year old love to flip through and choose numerous stories for us to read - they enjoy this book also. I am glad it's in our children's book collection.

Great book! by .. E. Doty ()
I bought this book for my 4-year-old granddaughter and within the first week we had read through it completely and at least half of it twice. It's a great compilation of top-notch classic picture books and in a quality presentation. It's a little too heavy for a child to cart around with him or her, but should be a favorite at story time. All the books inside are full sized with reprinted original illustrations.

FIVE Stars to the Nth Degree from a tough critic by .. Hugo & Grace (Costa Mesa, CA United States)
Publisher Harper Collins really lives up to its name. I was so impressed with the carefully chosen picture books they compiled. There were so many children's books and I wanted to find the best ones for my child and I did with this book! There are 12 unabridged books in this book and the picture quality is EXCELLENT. The paper is glossy stock grade and the pictures are just beautiful. Good Night Moon looks much better in this book compared to its individual board book and hardcover versions in this book. Baby Says is another picture book that is mainly a pictorial but was perfect for my infant who was able to comprehend the story. Her reactions were just amazing. There is another picture book out there called "The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury" and it does not compare. A good majority of the books in their book is abridged, the paper quality is like any other and, although the book is large in its dimensions, the pictures were shrunken down quite a bit because they put multiple pictures per page on some stories. In addition, some of their book choices were great but a lot of them weren't unlike Harper Collin's book. They really chose only the best. I only wish they came out with another volume. This book contains two books appropriate for infants, Goodnight Moon and Baby Says. The rest of the books will grow with the child.

Practically sells itself by .. Craig Clarke (New England)
This is the kind of book that should sell itself -- a collection of classic children's stories. At a time when going to the children's section of any bookstore can be overwhelming, it's a relief to find something like the Harper Collins Treasury of Picture Book Classics. It takes away all the guesswork by being filled with over a dozen stories that are already tried and true, stories that are proven entertainment to a wide variety of children. And they're all in one book (though it's a heavy sucker, to say the least). The contents are as follows:

Goodnight Moon written by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Clement Hurd
Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina
Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson
Crictor by Tomi Ungerer
A Baby Sister for Frances written by Russell Hoban, illustrated by Lillian Hoban
Leo the Late Bloomer written by Robert Kraus, illustrated by Jose Aruego
William's Doll written by Charlotte Zolotow, illustrated by William Pène Du Bois
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie written by Laura Joffe Numeroff, illustrated by Felicia Bond
George Shrinks by William Joyce
Baby Says by John Steptoe
From Head to Toe by Eric Carle
Pete's a Pizza by William Steig

In addition to these timeless stories, the Harper Collins Treasury of Picture Book Classics contains short author and illustrator biographies (such as what other books they've done) and useful ideas for sharing the story further with children (like concepts to discuss). And all proceeds from the purchase go to First Book, which donates books to needy families. It's a win-win situation, and not only for you and your children, but for others as well.

GREAT book...for all ages! by .. K. Bishel (Baltimore, MD)
This book is a wonderful collection of classic children's stories! Not only will kids love it, but as an adult, it was very nostalgic to flip through and revisit some of my favorite stories as a kid. Who doesn't love "Goodnight Moon" and "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie"?? Just a good time, fun read for everyone. I gave this book as a gift...and I think I may have to purchase another one just to keep for my own personal collection!

one fish, two fish, three,four,five fish by .. Della M. Nicholas ()
Given as a gift but know Dr. Seuss books are wonderful for any age. The counting fish are a fun addition.

Short but sweet by .. S. Long ()
This book is about 10 pages long and only a few words on every page, but my 16 month year old baby likes it. He also likes that he can play with the fish on top of the book. It still kinda teaches about colors and numbers one to five. A Preschooler would probably get bored with this, but just right for babies.

Another favorite of my 15 month old... by .. D. Gasson (Novato, CA United States)
Not much text in it, but my daughter loves this book. Very sturdy and she likes to move the fishes across the top. She wants it read over and over again. I think Dr. Seuss just had a fabulous knack for writing well with fun rhyming.

Wounderful Read! by .. J. Sonnier (N.Little Rock, AR USA)
My daughter really loved this book. We challange you to:
See the book, buy the book, read the book, share the book!
You wont regret it

Short & cute by .. Misty Fuentes (Sunny Florida)
Although this book is shorter than the orginal, it's still a great book for early readers, or to read to babies

great bath book by .. O. Smith (Washington, DC)
This is the greatest bath book ever! My son got it for Christmas when he was 7 months old. He is 2.5 years old now and it's still one of his favorite tub items... now he knows the story almost by heart... and he 'reads' it to me during the bath time... "Squirt" is a nice touch, granted it doesn't hold a lot of water but it's enough to make your little one giggle. I'm getting one for my new nice this Christmas :)

Too short by .. Al Sargent (San Francisco, CA United States)
This book contains only a few pages of text and is heavily cut down from the original. Also the "squirt" tube on the back page is too big in diameter to squirt water out for more than a split second.
