Product Description
There was a little fur family
warm as toast
smaller than most
in little fur coats
and they lived in a warm wooden tree. The Little Fur Family tells the story of a little fur child's day in the woods. The day ends when his big fur parents tuck him in bed "all soft and warm," and sing him to sleep with a lovely bedtime song. Cuddle up to a classic with this timeless story! Garth William's soft illustrations join Margaret Wise Brown's rhythmic text to create a gentle lullaby. Bound in imitation fur, Little Fur Family is sure to comfort and delight.

• One Of Our Favorites 16 November, 2007
We received this book as a gift when my oldest was a baby. It is an amazing little, quirky kind of book - and the song at the end I made up our own little tune too. Even my older children gather around when I read it to the youngest. It is very sweet, simple and beautiful. Great for very young children 0-5.

• The Little Fur Famioly 12 April, 2008
This is the first book that any parent should buy for their child. It is more fun than any other book for the child, parent, grandparent or great grandparent.

• It May Be A Classic, But It Doesn't Interest Everyone... 08 October, 2008
We received this as a present for our daughter, and our first thought was "How adorable!" The box set is very cute, and the brown fur covered book is certainly attractive to a child's curious little fingers, but that is where it ends for us.
Our daughter enjoys petting and pulling the fur, but the story and illustrations do not hold her attention. Even the sounds (kerchoo, thump, kerplunk, ssip, etc.) didn't catch her attention as they usually do. The illustrations are softer than most children's books and are not eye catching.
Plus, my husband and I found the story to be a bit weird. The "fur child," "fur world," "fur mother," "fur grandson" and other "fur" references were a little much. The fact that this "Fur Family" wears fur coats was also a tad unsettling.
Does this mean the book isn't worth buying? For us it's not worth it since my daughter doesn't enjoy it and neither do we, but I'm sure others would appreciate the classic.

• Cute Story. 07 April, 2008
This is a real cute story. Its just long enough to keep my two year olds interest before bed so that's a definite plus. Thanks.

• Illustrations Disappointing 07 September, 2008
THe same child-centric text that entranced my daughter 30 years ago, and other people's daughters 30 years before that, and the same fur-covered binding that appealed to them, but in a format 3 to 4 times the size. Easier for grown-ups to hold, not so much fun for children. But compared with the reprinted original version, the color in the illustrations is a real disappointment (dark and dreary, reminded me of rotting vegetables).
