We bought this for our four year old son for Christmas. He loves it! We read it for the next month every night. My only warning is that if your child is really "into" robots, you may get tired of it and I would consider giving it prior to Christmas unless you want to be reading it well into spring.
I had a hard time choosing my favorite book of 2011. It has been a good year for books. "The Paris Wife" though has been one that stands out for me. The characters are beautifully written. One feels that you know Hadley and Ernest as friends by the end of the book and their relationship is beautifully rendered with all its complexity.
The illustrations in this book are beautiful yet captivating and playful for kids. The story is charming and brought forth smiles and giggles from my 3 and 4 year old sons. Tousled looking animals are naively trying to imagine snow without having seen it before so young children can "get the joke." We really enjoy it!

My 4 year old son and his little brother (age 3) love this book. The illustrations are fabulous and draw the readers further into the clever retelling of Little Red Riding Hood as a little boy. The wolf is properly scary until the end where he becomes a comic figure which keeps the story appropriate for young readers.
