Customer Reviews

A Darling Little Book Full of Wisdom
This is a darling little book. I bought The Apron Book, also by EllynAnne Geisel and it's a real jewel. This book is a jewel as well. Very cute indeed. I love all things retro and kitch and this little book is a great reflection of retro wisdoms and cuteness. I am planning to buy several for my special girlfriends who love retro stuff too!

Love My Sweet Copy of Apronisms
I bought "Apronisms" and just love it.
I think it makes a wonderful gift tucked into an apron pocket.
$5.99 is comparable with other similar books of it's size.
This book has a wonderful texture and I love the graphics and the sweet "thoughts" that are incorperated in this darling little book.
I have both Apronisms and The Apron Book by author Ellyanne Geisel and
I look forward to seeing other books by this author.

Tiny Book
I was surprised when I received this book regarding how tiny it is. My fault--I didn't read the product dimensions to learn that it is only 3.7" tall. The photo doesn't reveal how small the book is. I bought 3 for hostess gifts, but wouldn't have paid 5.99 each for them if I had known how tiny it was.
