A few caveats from me – although the books look very pretty, if you’re buying online be aware that the boxes are oversized (they won’t fit in a standard shelf), the paper is quite thin (think bible pages), and the print size is relatively small. The bindings are a little fragile, being made of paper, and there are no illustrations. The bookmarks are also mainly decorative or just for overnight use if you’re doing a read-aloud – I think they are a bit thick to use in a book for long without the risk of damaging the pages.
However, the book boxes do look cool and they were popular enough to sell out in most places soon after release – luckily it’s anticipated more will be printed and released soon. The full set is currently only available at target.com (and a few physical stores where sold out online), with a couple of volumes also being sold at FAO Schwarz – links are included below.
