Thanks, Elsa, for bringing this early reader series to my attention. It's truly wonderful. My early reader devoured two of these books this afternoon and is already eager to return to the library for more tomorrow. I really appreciate the simplicity of the plot and the choice of words. They are charming and sweet stories. However, I must admit that I read these as a child and then completely forgot about them for 25 years. So, they didn't have a profound and lasting impact on me, nor did they leave me with particularly cherished memories. Nevertheless, compared to most of the mindless drivel in the early reader section of the library, these books are much better. They offer a pleasant and engaging reading experience for young children, which is definitely a plus.
