Am primit prima dată o carte din această colecţie acum vreo 2 ani, pentru o prezentare pe blog. Apăruse la Editura Teora, şi nu cred că a fost vreo carte care să-mi provoace mai multă plăcere decât Animale din ciucurei. Am descoperit apoi încet versiunile în limba română, şi le-am căutat pe cele originale, în engleză.
Sunt, după mine, cele mai faine idei de cadouri pentru copiii de grădiniţă şi ciclu primar, pentru aniversări, zile onomastice, dar şi aduse de Iepuraş sau Moş Crăciun. Este compromisul ideal între o jucărie, o carte, şi o idee de petrecere a timpului liber. Mai e un pic până la sezonul sărbătorilor, dacă calculăm în livrări, verificări şi lichidări de stocuri…
Dacă nu le cunoaşteţi, iată ce conţine colecţia "Chicken Socks", sau "Puişorul Năzdrăvan".
