One Snowy Night (A Tale from Percy's Park)

We were looking for winter themed books for our toddler to read specifically as Christmas approached last year. It’s the only Percy the park keeper story we own so far, but this has certainly set the bar high! It sets such a lovely picture, describing getting all warm and cosy for bed time on a cold winter night whilst also promoting kindness and sharing towards those less fortunate; very apt for around Christmas. The story doesn’t actually mention Christmas if that is something you were or weren’t hoping for, but I think this just helps it feel relevant and not out of place all year round, or specifically on a dark autumnal/wintery night. The story is a little longer than say Julia Donaldson novels, and no rhyming here, just well written, descriptive text that flows nicely when read out loud. It’s illustrated beautifully and all the animals knocking at the door one by one keeps my daughter very engaged. The penultimate page which has a large picture of inside Percy’s hut, allows a few minutes of ‘find where the animals are hiding’ and is full of hidden details. It just makes me want to brew a hot cocoa and get into bed when reading it, and I’m all for helping the seasons to feel right!

Last night, I found myself not being able to go to sleep. I needed something a bit lighter than the other book which I am reading, so I picked up this one about Percy the park keeper. Percy lives in a small hut in the park. All of the animals know him, as he is happy to share his lunch with them. But one snowy night, the animals need something else. And, of course, Percy is only happy to help. This was a very cute story. The illustrations are lovely too, and I am sure that young readers will delight in all of the animals trying to find a place to rest. A charming little tale.

Really sweet book about kindness. My children love it. Illustrations are also lovely and there is a fun page at the back that kids love to find the different woodland animals.

Great story

My daughter and son loved this book (they're now 20 & 21) - we gift it to others because we know how much pleasure and joy it brought to our young family

Güzel bir kar kış kitabı. Bu serinin başka kitaplarını da almak istedim beğendiğimiz için. 96 TL gibi bir rakama almıştım ancak halen serinin en uygun rakamı bu kitapta. İngilizce kitapları hep amazondan alıyorum. Arada uygun kitaplar bulabiliyorum. Teşekkürler Amazon.
