Customer Reviews

Let me add a "Hooray!" to the chorus!

This may be my favorite of the Golly Sisters books -- but how can you choose?? Each of the tales is utterly captivating in its own clever way. The first time I read this book to my little sister, one of the illustrations struck me as so hilarious that I couldn't go on reading; I was rolling on the floor laughing for a good 5 minutes! (It was in "Rose Does the High-Wire Waltz" when May-May is helping her climb down the tree.) Told with simple words but a sure and sophisticated wit, these stories delight time and again.

Wonderfull

Easy to read and for small kids to comprehend when it is read to them. My 2 and 3 year olds love it. It is easy to read because it takes such a simple perspective on things like a child, not because it is dumbified so it only uses easy words. Gives children something that is easy to read and a classic. It has wonderful wit and charm. Adults as well as children can relate to the Golly sisters. I would put it up with wonderful books like Dr. Suess and Sandra Boynton.

Hooray for the Golly Sisters!

My children love these books. We have "The Golly Sisters go West" and "Hooray for the Golly Sisters!". They're a treat for little ones and a pleasure for parents to read. I would recommend any books in this series. The stories are interesting and funny on many levels.
