Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Shirley Hughes has a reputation for capturing those "toddler moments" to perfection with her collection of mischievous characters who mirror the lives of little ones everywhere.

The Shirley Hughes Collection brings together the very best of her work in a beautifully presented gift book that makes a fine addition to any bookshelf. Featuring Lucy and Tom, Alfie, Dogger and Naughty Little Sister stories, this is a gloriously glossy book that shines with the warmth and humour of a fine illustrator with a keen eye on what small children really care about. (Ages 2-4) --Susan Harrison

Shirley Hughes is one of the best known and most popular creator's of children's books, and her keen observation of family life have earned her a special place in the hearts of children and adults. Beginning with a selection of simple rhymes and stories and moving on to some of Shirley's classic picture books featuring such well-loved characters as Dogger, Alfie and Anne Rose. There's also a selection of stories for older readers including 'THE LION AND THE UNICORN' and 'ENCHANTMENT IN THE GARDEN', which combine satisfyingly longer texts with marvellous expansive pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars One dream of a book!, 15 Feb 2001
I am not a toddler. I am not a mother of growing children. I am a student in my early twenties, and I simply love this book! When I was a child, the books of Shirley Hughes were among my favourites: because of the funny, endearing, recognisable stories, and not in the least because of her wonderful illustrations. They are little pieces of art, each and everyone. Nobody can depict young children the way they are like Shirley Hughes. When I found this book, I was thrilled. It contains old favourites like Dogger and Alfie, but also some stories I did not know yet, and that are not specifically aimed at children, like The Lion and the Unicorn and Angel on the Roof.

A wonderful collection in a collectible edition, to be enjoyed for years to come!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all children., 23 Dec 2007
By N. King (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is wonderful. I bought it for my sons 7th birthday. He had mentioned Shirley Hughes a few times having read stories at school. We love reading the stories together, they are so wholesome and innocent which is very refreshing when usually surrounded by simpsons, pokemon etc. I would recommend this book to anyone with children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comforting and funny, 16 Oct 2008
This is such a wonderful, wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. The stories are just what children experience and they can recognise themselves in them. Since we bought this book it has been favourite and has to be read everywhere (a bit difficult because it is quite big) and over and over. It is so cute that I don't mind reading it over and over either!
