Great little books!
"I bought all 4 of these books as stocking stuffers for my son's first Christmas. He's now 17 months old and still loves to flip through them and look at the cute pictures. They also do great double-duty as blocks, too!"

Just right for little hands
"I purchased two of these for my son, who just turned one. He really enjoys turning the thick pages and looking at the bright illustrations; something about the size and shape of these little books seems to captivate him. The other nice thing about these books is that they fit easily into a diaper bag or stroller. A good purchase."

On-the-go books
"We keep one of these books in each car and in the diaper bag. They are great for when you're out and about. They are all "ABC", but the pictures are different so that is good."

great stocking stuffer
"We put the Things That Go book in my son's stocking when he was 18 months (he is now 3). It's great for travel because it's small. The pages are nice and sturdy. It has held up well so far."

better for older kids
"I bought these books for my 18 mo daughter a few months ago thinking she would enjoy flipping through the pages and stacking them, but she just doesn't seem interested in them. Maybe better for an older child. I still think they are super cool though."

Sweet ABCs
"We have two of these and my daughter love them. She can hold and carry them. The illustrations are darling. Their size makes them so easy to bring along in the diaper bag or the car."

Best lil' books ever!
"These books are adorable, pocket size and have truly brilliant illustrations! Time and time again our two year old and us thoroughly enjoy flipping through the thick pages to see the tiny colorful drawings! They are perfect size for little fingers, too! Sturdy and well built, they'll be around in our home for a while!"

Great Stocking Stuffer for Babies
"I had a hard time thinking of things for the baby's stocking, and this little book was perfect. It's easy for babies to hold and my son still loves it several months later. We got the Animal ABCs and he likes to make all the animal noises."

great stocking stuffer!
"This is the perfect size to add to your child's stocking. It's great for tiny toddler fingers, easy to handle and the illustrations are beautifully done. Worth the price and my child loves it!"

cute, but not so sturdy
"I got these for my then-one-year old son at stocking stuffers last year, and now (one year later) they have all been pitched. They make a nice picture book and the illustrations are adorable but too much handling by a toddler and they literally just start to fall apart. First product from Nod that I was dissapointed in."

Perfect for Tiny Toddler Hands
"If your toddler is getting to the "MINE!" and "ALL BY MYSELF" stage, these books are perfect for little hands to hold and turn the pages with minimal assistance. These books are perfectly sized to stick in your diaper bag for road trips, the waiting room of your doctor's office, or when you're in cramped quarters - say, an airplane, the subway or a church pew - and a larger book might encroach on someone else's space. We've had to buy replacements because my son wears them out, he loves them so much."

Great little books for a busy child
"These litlle books have been a blessing this holiday season! My daughter received these books as a gift for her birthday in October, and have travelled everywhere we go! The bright colors and whimsical design are fun and enjoyable, and she loves to go through the entire book over and over again. They are great for the car and on grocery store excursions!"

Things that go for little ones on the go
"I purchased the little Things that Go book for my 1-year-old. It's the perfect little book for a little one on the go. It fits perfectly in his tiny hands, and he loves to carry it around the house with him. The bright colors and pictures will keep your child entertained while you read with them and help them with their ABCs."

Great beginner books
"I bought these for my grandson and he loves them. They are chucky which is great for little hands and they are very sturdy. The spine of the books bend so they won't break by bend the too far or the wrong way. Very kid friendly. The pages have a picture and a letter so they are not "too busy"."

Great for knocking down...
"Do like we did and invest in about 10 of these guys and watch your chubby fingered baby have the time of their life knocking them down over and over after you stack them high. Then, as images become more intriguing, they'll want to, and be able to, flip through the OH so cute thick and sturdy pages...yeah, sturdy enough to stand up to chewing! Later, while you tease them that they did make those teeth marks, they'll have fun learning their ABCs."
