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
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.

Absolutely love it
Bought this boxed set of Oliver Jeffers masterpieces for my 2.5yr old son. Right from the packaging, the size of books( around 16cm), the illustrations, colours, the stories, the characters, everything is soo endearing. My son loves these books to the core. this set is a MUST BUY!

Best and must have
There are some people who do it better than others - these books are collector items, besides being great fun; there a few tricky moments for parents that can be accounted to artistic license. Do you want your kid to understand the moon for what it is, or think that he can reach it if he jumped from a point high enough.. nevertheless, these books spark creativity, emotions and learning - #1 & must have!

Perfect size and amazing sketches
Good size for those tiny hands..actually a perfect size for bedtime reads. Light n manageable. More of imaginative reading, so would suggest this series for little mature young readers. In love with the sketching- 5 stars for it separately.

Great stories but small sized books
My kid and I like this author's work and hence wanted to get a collevtors edition. However the size of the books are very small which makes it underwhelming, Product description should be updated

Buen tamaño
Oliver Jeffers nunca dejará de ser una no de mis favoritos. Todos sus libros son preciosos. Los dibujos divinos. Las historias encantadoras. El tamaño de los libros es ideal para que los adultos puedan leerlos y para que los pequeños puedan mirarlos también. Buena calidad.
