Review: Love everypart of it. - Such sweet sotories wonderful illustrations... I saw some reviews that talked about size and was worried about that. But it is fine, as there is only simple illustration per page, not elaborate like a julia donalson, which needs a big size book. We love everything about it... the quality, the story, the illustration, the price value... It's great!👍🏻
Review: The boxed set is a great buy especially when u get 30-40% discount - The boxed set is a great buy especially when u get 30-40% discount ! My son loves Oliver Jeffers's books. (and he likes to even play with the box....putting them in order! Do note that the size of the books is as much as a board book, whereas if you pay 220-240 per book, you get the big books.Content is the same...So go for box set only if you are ok with the size ( I hadn't checked size when I ordered). Illustrations and stories are great and keep the kid engaged.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stories but some text unreadable
*by G***N on 14 August 2020*

The stories themselves are great, we just love Oliver Jeffers in out family. However, some of the printing is unreadable unless you are in bright light due to the text colour and background.
