Lovely
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I love the wonderful illustrations in "Tom & Pippo." Messy playrooms, mommy and daddy snoring with their mouths open, the soft-boiled egg dripping on the tablecloth. Their's much more than just a story about Tom's day or his friendship with Pippo for my son and I to talk about, as Oxenbury's simple and sweet writing let you explore what she *hasn't* said.I know this by heart, which is good, because my son has worn the words right off the pages!
Tom & Pippo's Day
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
My son loves all the Tom & Pippo books and we have all the ones that are still in print! I recommend any of these Tom & Pippo books by Helen Oxenbury as they are very sweet and perfect bedtime reading for toddlers and preschool ages. I wish she would write more as I enjoy the little simple but adorable story lines as well!
Endearing story of friendship
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book beautifully communicates the friendship a toddler feels for his favorite stuffed toy. My daughter loves this book -- she's not even one year old but the instant I say "Do you want to read Pippo with me?" she is happy and eager to help turn the pages. Few things entertain her for more than a few minutes (except, of course, my dog's food dish) but she will sit and listen to this book as often as I will read it. It's a very short book but the effect upon her is consistently magical. I cannot say enough good things about it, but I must stop typing regardless -- I've got to go order more "Tom and Pippo" books for my daughter.
