The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear (Child's Play Library) Board book – 1 May 1998

Much loved. Now a classic. Please buy this to make the small person in your life happy. Go for the large format though, the little cardboard book just isn't the same.

My favourite book to read to the kids and now I pass it on to others to read to theirs.Magical

Lovely story which really engages the children.Good price and delivery.

I bought this as a replacement copy after 6 years for my younger 2 year old child as the older one had been ripped . I just had to as both my children love this book . She finds it very interesting and funny and now tries to "read" it on her own.

I ordered this book for my 2 year old as it was a childhood favourite of mine. It didn't disappoint.The story alludes to "The Big Hungry Bear" who never actually appears, it is the clever tone of the writing and the expressive illustrations which get you to buy into the story.In some ways it's quite a dark tale, but at the moment as my daughter is still so young she just likes the pictures and doesn't fully understand the implications of the story.I remember loving this story up until the age of about 10yrs so I hope it will grow in popularity with my daughter as she grows up. A great buy for any age.

My two sons, now in their thirties, loved it. I’ve just bought a copy for my grandson and it is now a firm favourite. It’s a lovely story and beautifully illustrated.

I gave this to my niece! The plot is a good metaphor for how the government will always make up or use some rumored threat, to take more power and more of what is yours from you in tax.I hope she realizes that she doesn't need to live in fear. When she is older I will buy her Thomas Sowells Basic Economics. Every child should listen to that audio-book before high school so as to know how commodities relate to each other, so that they are not stolen from by propagandists.

I found this book when I was pregnant with my son (now aged 40). I have bought it for every baby that comes into our family since! It’s such a delightful book and I’m happy it’s remained in print all these years.
