Book Reviews of Woody, Hazel and Little Pip
Book Review: ELSA BESKOW -A GENTLE STORY TELLER!
Summary: 5 Stars
Elsa Beskow's stories are over a half a century old. They are gentle and beautiful. Woody, Hazel and Little Pip are little forest children, belonging to the Acorn family. The children go on an unexpected adventure when they are swept up by an autumn wind. "Swirling and whirling" through the air on a leaf they are greeted by gnomes, a troll, a lizard and three little Chestnut boys. Nature is the essence of this story, as it is in many of Elsa's stories. This tale sparks the imagination of children and adult minds alike. I could sing praises Elsa and her stories for days on end. They are true classics.Don't wait to sample Elsa's tales, for they are getting harder and harder to find.
Book Review: Sweet story!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is so darling and charming. For some reason, when I cracked it open, I thought it would be too quiet for Benny (7) and too slow for Sadie (2). No. They were both riveted. It is a very precious little story about tiny little people who live in trees -- we never ascertained whether they were fairies or pixies or what. They have a little adventure and then everyone has a party. It's the detail of the illustrations, the thoughtful way in which this little world is completely imagined, and the boldness of the "naughty" children who go off on an oak leaf and end up delivering beards to trolls. Very good story! The children give it four thumbs up!Book Review: What a great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remembered this from my own childhood, and was delighted to find it on Amazon for my granddaughter. She is 3 and absolutely loves it - we have to read it over and over every time she visits me. The images stir her imagination, and the story is exciting and interesting without being saccarine or preachy. We always end up talking about it afterwards, and she takes an increased interest in our walks in the woods, picking up acorns, acorn caps, and large, shapely leaves, which might just carry a small elfin person away...Book Review: Always an Elsa Beskow Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not my favorite Beskow book, but it is still a delightful, engaging story with beautiful illustrations! These stories are as enjoyable for the adults reading them as they are for the children. I also highly recommend The Forest Children and The Flowers Festival, but really, all of her books are worth owning!Book Review: fabulous adventures for a 3 years old
Summary: 5 Stars
