Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Take one adventurous little boy and one bathtub, put them together, and you’ve got—Captain Gulliver Snip and his clipper ship! Gulliver sails his marvelous ship in search of high seas. Though it’s not all smooth sailing for this intrepid explorer. When his ship sinks, Gulliver leaps overboard and makes his way to a deserted island, only to be chased up a tree by a tiger. But now the bathroom is a mess, and Gulliver’s mother is none too pleased.
 
By contrasting scenes of Gulliver’s fantasy world on one page with his reality on the facing page, newcomer Julia Kay tells a swashbuckling story fit for the youngest adventurer.

User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Sure to become a classic!
I purchased Gulliver Snip about 6 weeks ago as a bedtime story for my six year old son and four year old daughter. It is a huge hit and has become their favorite story! The illustrations are beautifully done, with one side of the page depicting how Gulliver Snip views his "bathtime adventures" and the other side depicting what is really going on in his home. The rhyme's are very engaging. It is truly a joy to read (over and over again). Highly recommended!


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - I wish I was young again to have my own Gulliver reading time!
Gulliver Snip is an incredibly creative, well written, and beautifully illustrated children's book. The story crosses the daily topic of a bathing child with a creative blast of adventure on the high seas, as Gulliver sees his bathtub as a clipper ship, sailing the oceans blue. The book makes you laugh, smile, and want to read it over and over. In fact, I wish I was a kid again so I could play the role of Gulliver, creating adventure from the ordinary, having a blast with what is seen as normal from an adult's perspective. (Oh, to be young and innocent again...this whole working world and responsibility is not all it cracked up to be.) The sound and repetition of the writing in the book is harmonious and very catchy, a brilliantly worded story indeed. And I just can't get over some of the illustrations, how deep the rich the colour is, and the juxtaposition of the actual bath tub experience with the creative adventures of the mind that Gulliver travels are just a pleasure to watch unfold side by side. Julia Kay has put together a real winner with her very first children's book here, and I can see her heart and soul and people close to her in this book. And who wouldn't just get attached to a little blue headed boy who is adventurous?!?!?! I have purchased 20 copies of this book and my mother and I are giving it to all of our friends with children and to their grandparents as well. Every family with a child should have a copy of Gulliver Snip. Trust me, you will enjoy the ride and have great reading time with your little ones!


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Surprised to be so touched
I feel compelled to say something about this little book because it sort of got to me- in a good way. From a parents perspective it's about a kid who makes a mess in the bathroom...but the way it is written you are really able to see the world through this child's eyes. I don't know if the author meant to make me pause as a parent- and promise myself I would try to remember what it felt like to be a kid, but that was the end result. I guess that is what great children's literature does, though, it takes you some place special- and usually there is a surprise involved. At any rate I was surprised to be so touched by a picture book. I think my kids just thought it was fun.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful Addition to Children's Literature!
This is a delightful and beautifully illustrated book. The story is imaginative and very appealing to young children. I rank it up there with my favorite Maurice Sendak book "Where the Wild Things Are." This is sure to become a children's classic.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Adorable and Entertaining
This is a fantastic addition to a library of children's books! It is a fantastic adventure that you and your child can enjoy together (even my jaded 20-something brother liked it!)

You will NOT regret buying this one and it will provide years of enjoyable bedtime stories and keep your child entertained while learning to read!
