Peedie (Gossie & Friends)

My 6 month old daughter loves Peedie. She gets so excited when she sees the simple white cover with yellow Peedie and his special red hat. The pages are nice and simple and the story is also nice and short which should fare well for the upcoming toddler attention span! I am looking forward to picking up the rest of the Gossie and Friends books for her enjoyment.

Right from the first two books about Gossie, my grandson and I were taken by Olivier Dunrea's books. They are colorful and uncluttered with simple honest lessons for little ones about sharing with friends and how no one is perfect. Peedie with his little red hat is no exception. I was able to read it to my grandson through our web cams and the pictures showed up beautifully.

This is the cutest book. The story is short and very simple. Each page has only one or two short sentences which will keep a small child from becoming too restless. If I read this book to my daughter I can usually count on reading it two or three times because whenever the story is over she says "more, more". It is such a cute story I don't mind reading it a few times. I am planning on buying a couple other books by the same author.

My daughter likes this book just as much as Gossie and the others. Peedie constantly forgets things, and misplaces his hat. It is a cute story, which charming pictures as in Dunrea's other books. I also like that it's short, and easy to pack around for Dr's offices, etc.

It is short and direct and endearing all at the same time. This is one of my 20 month old son's favorite books to have read to him. I am glad it is short - since he loves to have it read to him many times a day. I don't know about you, but that great classic Green Eggs and Ham gets pretty tiring the 3rd or 4th time through. My son loves this one, along with another book by the same artist, "Ollie". For some reason, my son almost breaks into laugher when Mama goose scolds Peedie for forgetting to turn the egg. Always puts a smile on his face, and he likes me to read it to him often.
