Julia Donaldson X 10 Book Set Collection Pack Includes Room On The Broom

Bought this 3 years ago, and I still read to my kids all the time. Great book series. Helps build their imagination. Thank you Julia Donaldson

I got these books for my 3 year old as a read along books with the Yoto cards. Julia Donaldson stories are short and sweet and my kid is really enjoying them. The books quality is great too. Highly recommend them for any kids library!

Terrific books!

A beautiful collection to keep for the future

My granddaughter loved “Room on the Broom” and “The Gurafalo” that I bought for her, so I decided to get this ten book set for my house. It was a great purchase. Immediately when I started reading “Room on the Broom” to her, she notice that the words were different. It turns out that these were the British editions, and some of the words were different. They had changed plait to braid and chips to fries for the US edition. Great chance to educate her about some cultural differences. Great books. Love this author.

My 3 year old loves the books, and we all enjoy reading them to him. The stories are clever, the pictures are absolutely beautiful, and the poetry is enjoyable for all! I wish the books came in a hard cover, but despite being in a soft cover format, they are very well made and will last us a while!

Love these more than anything! Something to note: these are the British English versions of the books, not the American English versions!

This review is about the product itself, not the content of books (which are awesome, and as a Julia Donaldson fan, was excited to see a great deal on this package of books). I received the UK version, and as other reviewers have mentioned, that means there was no tote bag, and a printing error in the Paper Dolls book (plus the plastic wrapping was cut open at the top, so maybe I got a returned package as well, despite buying New). I don’t know how to receive the “American” printing, and at the end of the day, it would be more trouble to exchange in the hopes that this would be corrected, so buyer beware—this listing is not clear and you may receive something slightly different.

We saw 'Room on the Broom' on BBC i-player and my 3 year old loved it. When I found out that it is also available as a book, I bought this set. It was a great investment. My daughter could read all easy words at first and I would read the remaining words. But because there is so much repetition in the story, she started to read more and more of the parts herself until she could read the whole book alone. It proved to be a massive milestone in her reading because it improved her reading speed tremendously (since she know most of the sections by heart). However, ever since she learned to read this one book (Room on the Broom), her general reading speed has also significantly improved. So for me it has been a great investment. The other books in the bundle are also not bad. Some are better then others. The print and size is really nice, too.

The bag arrive damaged, but the seller used a sticker to cover up the hole on the bag. It seems suspicious, I wonder if they are really new book? Also couple of the book with poor printing quality

J'ai bien reçu les livres prévus dans le lot ainsi que le sac. Très beau lot, qui vaut le coup ! 10 livres pour 39 euros, le livre revient a moins de 4 euros ! Seul bémol un des livres est corné, manque de chance c'est celui que j'avais déjà et que je vais donc offrir ou revendre mais il n'est pas impeccable... Les histoires sont chouettes, rigolotes, bien adaptées aux enfants. Permet de compléter la collection des livres des Julia donaldson, mon fils de 6 ans les adore, et depuis longtemps !

This book set is incredibly good value. I wanted to get two books from this set and Kmart is selling them for $10 each. My son who is shy of two is loving the ones I’ve read to him including Cave Baby, Snail and the Whale and Gruffalo. As an adult who has never read any Julia Donaldson books before, I’ve enjoyed reading them too.

Scrivo questa recensione in italiano, per i miei connazionali che (come me) sono in cerca di qualche bel libricino in inglese per abituare i propri figli alla lingua. Prima meglio chiarire l'ovvio: Julia Donaldson è una garanzia. Le sue storie sono dolcissime, intelligenti, spiritose, e sempre magistralmente illustrate da abili artisti. Ogni storia è un piacere sia da ascoltare che da leggere e interpretare, impreziosita da quella metrica aggraziata che è propria della fonetica originale e che sfortunatamente si perde nell'adattamento italiano. Detto questo, veniamo allo specifico di questa collezione. Dato il prezzo (nel mio caso, ho pagato l'intero pacchetto meno di 25 euro), mi aspettavo che contenesse edizioni economiche e di scarsa qualità. fascicoli "da battaglia", insomma. Mi sbagliavo. Il pacchetto contiene dieci volumi di generose dimensioni, di buona fattura e grammatura, con immagini a tutto campo e un'ottima qualità di stampa. Le copertine flessibili sono anch'esse di buona qualità, e alcune si spingono a ospitare addirittura caratteri riflettenti e rilievi. Mai avrei pensato di avere tutto questo per... così poco. Forse perché qui in Italia siamo abituati a tutt'altra consuetudine, le letture per l'infanzia sono generalmente volumi venduti a caro prezzo. In definitiva, consiglio l'acquisto sia per l'ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo che per l'indiscussa bontà del contenuto. Merita ogni centesimo.
