We have all of Eric's books. My girls lived them when they were younger. Will definitely keep them for the future.

I first picked up this book in elementary school,  when it came out as a new book.  I checked it out nearly weekly until I moved on to middle school,  where it wasn't in the library.  I got attached to Annemarie and Ellen, and have kept them in my heart at this time.

I loved the Babysitters and Little Sisters books growing up. You can't find them in bookstores anymore, so it's great to find them here. My daughter loves them!

I read "The Girl Who Lived in a Hill" to my two daughters, ages 7 and 10, and they couldn't get enough of it. It was a pleasure to read, and my girls were delighted. It has become our favorite bedtime reading material.

We have every book in the series and they are all awesome. Both my kids (6 and 9 years old) truly ENJOY reading them. Then later they hear something that triggers a memory of a random, bizarre fact they read and they say, "Did you know that......?" I'm glad they have these books. They are really educational and fun to read. (I like reading them too!)

My little girl read #8 right before she summer break. She asked me to order her another one, and when she devoured that one in a day, I ended up buying the rest of them. She has read them all now and wishes there were more. They are great books for children who are just begining real chapter books :)

We adore these books. I got these books for my son's and daughter's-in-law children. They both had these books as kids. It's bringing back great memories for them, and being a blessing for the children and the two parents. It's difficult to say who's receiving the biggest blessing---the grown-ups or the kids. This is the best investment I could ever make in their salvation. What a bargain. Best books for kids ever written.

I gave three "girl" books to my granddaughter for her 10th birthday this summer.  The Big Book of Girl Stuff is far and away her favorite.  She has carried it around with all its variant covers, shared it with friends and older cousins and regaled the whole family with facts and funnies--to her delight.

I wish I had this book growing up. We had fun finding Rosie and Iggy in both books. Will all the kids in Miss Lila Greer's class e represented? My 17 month old son enjoys both. I'll be reading this to my 9th grade girls' Advisory class too. Great life lesson.

I remember this book from when I was in elementary school. It was a favorite of mine. I borrowed it from our library constantly. When I saw a box of old books in front of my old school marked "free", I looked through it and what should I find? I hung on to it for many years. It has since disappeared but memories of having it read to me for the first time in kindergarten by our school librarian will live on forever. :D

I shared the series with our kids, (5,7 &9). There were bits that caused all three to sit on my lap but they wouldn't let me stop reading.  The whole series is well written and thought through. It engaged the kids from page 1 to very last paragraph.  "Keep reading!" That's all I heard for all three books.  Bravo, Mr. Barry & Mr. Pearson! It's having books like these published that keeps kids imaginations alive and well. My thanks!

Having recently given birth to a daughter (3.5 months), I'm going a bit mad getting "girl power" books for her (and for me, I must confess).  "Olivia" is brilliant!  I love Eloise, but am pleased to also have something that works for even younger kids.  We're already reading it to her, in the hopes that it will soon become a favorite.  Olivia is the porcine version of every little high-energy girl, good at "lots of things", dreams of being Maria Callas and a Degas ballerina---this is a book that respects childrens' intelligence and sense of humor.  Check out Ian Falconer's second book, "Olivia Saves the Circus"---the poster of Eleanor Roosevelt on Olivia's bedroom wall is priceless.  Boys or girls, this is a must for all parents and kids who want something a little irreverent and different.

I don't know about you, but I remember opening up Eric Carle's books and lighting up with joy as I flipped through the pages. When I was a child, my school would often bring in different books of his, and our teacher would let us read them or he/she would read to us. The colorful pictures and variety of animals, shapes, objects, drawings, etc., you can't be disappointed as a kid. All the things that kids love are in his books. I bought Eric's book sets because of my past memories and fondness with them. As of now, I often use them when I teach to children from the ages of 3-6. In my classes, the books are always a big hit. The children smile when they see the pages turn, and they are able to easily remember the alphabet, shapes, colors, numbers, and movements, thanks to the colors and creativity of his books. I personally think that everyone who has young ones, or will have young ones, should make this a top priority purchase.

This book is one of her favourite picture books. Since we've read this book so many times, I've memorized the whole book. While I was reciting this book to her one day, my 10 month-old crawled over to her books and picked-it out of the pile! Were we ever surprised.
