    Editorial Review

    An affectionate, sometimes bashful pig named Wilbur befriends a spider named Charlotte, who lives in the rafters above his pen. A prancing, playful bloke, Wilbur is devastated when he learns of the destiny that befalls all those of porcine persuasion. Determined to save her friend, Charlotte spins a web that reads "Some Pig," convincing the farmer and surrounding community that Wilbur is no ordinary animal and should be saved. In this story of friendship, hardship, and the passing on into time, E.B. White reminds us to open our eyes to the wonder and miracle often found in the simplest of things. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars A fine work of literature that can stand alongside any in English
    I just reread it recently as an adult. I had this boxed set of three hardcover E.B. White books when I was a kid - Charlotte's Web, The Trumpet of the Swan (which I remember as my favorite of the three, though I hardly remember it today), and Stuart Little.
    5-0 out of 5 stars Charlotte's Web
    I've purchased this book for my daughter who is almost 9 years old, I end up reading it before her.This book is great for growing up kids; how wonderful and variable it is to have a friend he/she can depend on and be with to share fun, sad and so so stories to one another.
    4-0 out of 5 stars A classic, and for a good reason
    This book, though it may seem to be just a cute story about a pig, is actually quite sad.The first time I read this book I was in first grade and I liked it, but it was only when I just recently read it again that I realized how good it really is. This book, through its simple plot, reminded me a lot about how selfless some people are and also about growing up.No wonder it's a classic; even though it's written for little kids, it can remind a lot of people about their own lives and bring back a lot of fond memories. ...

    4-0 out of 5 stars A simgeon of pigeon
    I didn't realize when I bought this book it is a stiff paged book for small children. But as usual the pigeon brings a smile to your face!

    5-0 out of 5 stars This is a BOARD BOOK - you know the kind with pages thick and durable enough for your toddler to chew
    I mention that this is a board book because so many parents seem dissapointed by how few pages it contains.
    4-0 out of 5 stars Another smigeon of Pigeon!
    Mo Willems delights again! Personnally a big fan of Pigeon, in particular the hot dog episode, I awaited "The Pigeon has feelings too!" with eagerness. And even though it is only a 5 or 10 page board book, with very little action; it's still a great book. The illustrations make it. Though I would certainly reccommend "The Pigeon finds a hot dog!" or "Don't let the Pigeon drive the bus!" first, this little book is worth checking out if you have very young children in the family. ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars Best One Yet!!!
    My 4 year old niece loves Don't let the pigeon drive the bus.She recently got Don't let the pigeon stay up late and it is her new favorite.She loves yawning with the pigeon throughout the book.This is a great bedtime book.Very funny!!!

    1-0 out of 5 stars Author needs to learn to be a lot more personable and care about the children he writes the books for
    I purchased this book for my daughter because her school was going to listen to him read at the local book store.My daughter had wanted to get her picture taken with him but couldn't because her class had to leave so she asked if I would please get him to sign her book saying that she had met him so she could always remember this day.I told her that I would be happy to.I went up to have him sign it for her and asked if he could please put something saying that it was nice meeting her so that she would always have that memory.He refused said that he writes his own which is always the persons name rocks-not real personal.He said I could write that on the other page saying that she meet him.Needless to say, I returned the book.Any one who can not be nice and take just 1 minute to make a little girl happy by simply giving her a memory is not worth buying!!!I would highly suggest buying a different book by a different author.There are tuns of great children books out their by authors who truly care about making children happy and making a difference.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Not one of Mo's best, but still a must-have
    Mo Willems is very popular in our home.Our six year old adores the pigeon books.We have read them all, and own most of them."Don't let the Pigoen Stay Up Late" is the weakest book in the series, but is still adorable and we had to buy it."The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog" is still the favorite in our household, however.The pigeon books are excellent to read to toddlers and excellent for early readers to read out loud for themselves. ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars Book for kids that parents will love too
    This is one of the best pre-k early reader books ever!What makes this a great book is it has humor that mom and dad can appreciate too, which is great since they'll be reading it over and over again!The art and vocabulary are simple but very effective in communicating the emotions of our hero the pigeon.This is a must have in every child's library.

    5-0 out of 5 stars BEST PreK-Grade2 book series EVER!!!
    It was love at first sight. After finding Mo Willems' "Don't Let the Pigeon Ride the Bus," my son was hooked. He couldn't wait to read it by himself.
    4-0 out of 5 stars Very cute
    This book is adorable and very funny.I would recommend any of the pigeon books.They crack my 5 year old nephew up and I have to admit to chuckling myself when I read them. ... Read more

    I'm only writing this to warn you that the review right below mine (if it hasn't been removed) has MAJOR SPOILERS.It reads like a book report and gives away the entire book.I guess that's great if you want to know what your kid is reading, but terrible if you wanted to read the book yourself.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Long -awaited Sequel to "Charmed Life" Does Not Disappoint
    Nearly a year after the events of "Charmed Life," Cat Chant has settled into Chrestomanci Castle and learned some mastery over his own powerful magic.During the summer holidays, the young enchanter faces new challenges that range from learning how to ride his capricious horse, Syracuse, to caring for a mysterious egg that has been given to him by his new friend, Marianne Pinhoe.And then there's that magical barrier in the woods . . . a barrier that seems designed less to keep strangers out than to keep even stranger things in.

    5-0 out of 5 stars My kids love this book
    I have a 3 year old and 5 year old who love the books of Mo Willems. Recently the 5 year old took this book to school as his 'show and tell' in order to read it to his class. It was a huge success! We started our Mo Willems collection with 'Don't let the Pidgeon drive the Bus', we've added 'the Pidgeon finds a Hotdog' and 'Don't let the Pidgeon stay up late' and just recently added this book and 'the pidgeon has feeling too'. I love these books because my kids love them and that encourages them to keep reading! Well done Mo Willems.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Love it!
    Our first Mo Willems book was Knuffle Bunny and we were hooked. We've sinced bought 4 more of his books including The Pigeon Loves Things That Go! They're all great. Our kids love them and for kids books they're pretty darn amusing for adults too. Good stuff!

    2-0 out of 5 stars boring
    great bed time book its so boring it put us all to sleep - not a cool as the hot dog or dont let the pigeon drive the bus.

    This book is awesome.I think my husband and I enjoy this more than our son!The art work is fantastic and the story really captures this little girls frightening experience at the laundry mat!

    5-0 out of 5 stars I Can't Wait To Read This Book To My New Granddaughter!
    KNUFFLE BUNNY received the CALDECOTT HONOR award for 2004.The Caldecott Medal "shall be awarded to the artist of the most distinguished American Picture Book for Children published in the United States during the preceding year. The award shall go to the artist, who must be a citizen or resident of the United States, whether or not he or she is the author of the text."The runner-up of the Caldecott Award is called the 'Caldecott Honor Award.'So right away we know the pictures and the story are superior to most other children's books.And I can attest to the fact that this is one of the best I've seen for babies and toddlers.I know that this book is geared towards the preschool to first grade group but the pictures and text are very elementary so I imagine even little ones can identify with this story.
    5-0 out of 5 stars Knuffle Bunny
    I LOVE Willems's books.They are all awesome!His illustrations and story lines are hillarious and fun to read aloud.The pictures in this book are especially witty as he used photographs of a real city with overlays of his own simple chracter drawings.(No, he's not paying me to say all this!)If you pay attention, you'll see a cameo of Willems's infamous "Pigeon," too!Great for youngsters and parents to read together, and will become a family favorite! ...

    This beloved and bestselling book from Audrey and Don Wood has been delighting children--and sending them off to bed with laughter and sweet dreams-for years. The infectious cumulative rhyme of The Napping House has made this book a classic. Now here is the new sturdy edition just right for tiny hands, making them a must for every family's board book collection.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Repeat Book
    I am not a fan of books that repeat themselves, but this one is adorable. The pictures are so good and the rhymes so cute that it does not even phase me to repeat the lines. It is the perfect length for a bedtime story. Looking forward to reading it for years!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Great repetition; fun story
    My son enjoys this book predominantly because of repetition. It is one that is in high rotation, but not the most favorite. I do think it is harder for him to follow as the pictures are not very bright/distinct.I do recommend this book to other parents. ... Read more

    THE PIGEON DOESN'T GET TO DRIVE THE BUS! Willems is at his wittiest best in this pigeon book.When my sister told me she was pregnant I immediately started thinking about shower gifts -- and this book topped the list.The shower was this past Saturday and the book (presented as part of diaper bag package) was a total hit.Everyone wanted to read it right there -- and they did!

    My 21-month old and I read this book just about daily.She loves it, especially getting to say, "No Pigeon!" on almost any page.It's especially good for days when we've had to say no to her a lot - she gets to pass the buck as it were. :) ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Full fathom five thy father lies
    I suppose that there must be some people in world for whom the name "David Wiesner" means nothing. I can't fathom what this kind of an existence must be like. I suppose it would be the literary equivalent of not knowing what chocolate was. Or snow. The minute the new Wiesner book comes out I, like hundreds of thousands of others like me, rush out to purchase it for friends, relatives, and passing acquaintances I met once in the grocery store. Little wonder that the man has won two Caldecott Medals AND two Caldecott Honors. Now one of those numbers is about to change since Wiesner has produced his most ambitious creation to date. Wordless (as always) and more intense than his light-hearted "Tuesday" and "Sector 7" ever were, this is a book overflowing in deep-water mysteries and delights.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Howlingly good
    A fantastically funny tale of witches, wizards, demons and magic, all rolled up into an entertaining book for all ages.If you've seen the movie of the same name, you should note that there were many changes in the story on the way to animation, but the book remains the better version.
    4-0 out of 5 stars A charming tale of fantasy and adventure
    Like many others I first watched the animated movie of Howl's Moving Castle and was immediately inspired to seek out the book.Although the book is a bit different from the movie I did like both of them equally well.
    5-0 out of 5 stars "I think we should live happily ever after."
    I loved this book!It is full of humor, memorable characters, magic spells and fire demons.Not many authors can pull off a novel with the two main characters being a 90-year-old woman and a self-centered and vain wizard.Diana Wynne Jones pulls it off with panache, and leaves readers with a thoroughly contented feeling at the finish.

    5-0 out of 5 stars (young) Man V. Dinosaur (who bakes with aplomb)
    It would take a human being with the sense of humor of a bowl of moldy tapioca not to find "Edwina: The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct" one of the funniest picture books of the year.I mean, I resisted reviewing it.Mo Willems needs no introduction any longer.His misleadingly simple style is what it is, as it is, as it shall be evermore.Basically, he does not need my help promoting his books.That doesn't mean, though, that it's not fun to do.Now the man in question has tried his hand on the standard large-animal-who's-friends-with-kids genre.You can keep you Cliffords and your Dannys with their dinosaurs, though.Color me an Edwina fan through and through (and that goes double for her chocolate chip cookies).
    4-0 out of 5 stars Everybody loves Edwina...
    Everybody in town loves Edwina, the dinosaur. And why wouldn't they? She's helpful and charming and winsome and makes great chocolate chip cookies. But smarty-pants Reginald von Hoobie-Doobie is very irritated that nobody -- least of all Edwina herself -- realizes that dinosaurs are extinct. And so he sets out to disprove Edwina's existence. While this book isn't as silly as the Pigeon series or Knuffle Bunny, "Edwina" is a solid read-aloud that will be enjoyed by children ages 4-6. And adults will appreciate the subtle humor in Willem's illustrations.

    4-0 out of 5 stars I love Mo Willems!
    As always Willems is amazing!I haven't read a book of his yet that has dissapointed me, there is always humour and a certain degree of whimsy to his books.Here the story is about one boy who is determined to convince the rest of the world that their beloved Edwina the Dinosaur is supposed to be extinct.

    5-0 out of 5 stars My kid's love "Little House" books
    I have 5 childern and do not get to read aloud the quanity of books I would like to, so we invest in audio.They can be enjoyed time and time again.My kids play the "Laura" books we own over and over. Great for long car trips or when layed up with illness too.

    5-0 out of 5 stars The story conitnues...
    Little House On The Prairie is a longer read than Little House In The Big Woods and deals more with action and adventture.While the first book seemed to be a guide book on survival in the wild this book is more of a tale with Indians, bush fires and other dangers.Living on the prairie is not the same as living in the big woods, so we do learn some new things about prioneer life and the problems the family faced.In same ways the second book is superior to the first.
    5-0 out of 5 stars Illustration of Life on the Frontier

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great book!
    My younger daughter always repeats - 'I want my mommy'! I enjoyed the book along with my kids.The photography is excellent too.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Sweet yet real
    Received this book as a baby gift and loved reading it to my son.Now that he has started preschool we read it as a book about separation anxiety.I was a bit concerned that the owl's imagining something bad might have happened to their mom would scare my son.However, I think that many kids worry about just that and it is important to acknowledge this and also reassure them that Mama or Daddy will come back.Get the board book version for endurance as this book will be read over and over again.

    5-0 out of 5 stars I want my mommy!
    My two year old LOVES this book. When I ask her "What does Bill say?" She eagerly exclaims "I want my mommy, said Bill!" I feel that this tale can teach our little ones that although your parents may leave, they will return. Great Book! ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Delightful from beginning to end
    As a parent, this may very well be my favorite bedtime story.Don't judge the book based on the TV show-- it is much better!Max and Ruby are making birthday cakes for Grandma.Max is making an earthworm cake but Ruby wants to make an angel surprise cake with rasbery fluff frosting.Despite Ruby's increasingly restrictive instructions, Max keeps knocking her ingredients off the table, and Ruby keeps sending him to the store with a shopping list for replacements.Max wants red hot marshmellow squirters to top off his cake, and his attempts to communicate this to the grocer make up the heart of the story.
    4-0 out of 5 stars Bunny Cakes
    This is an excellent picture book for young children. The story line is simple and easy for kids to connect with. Many children have siblings and can relate to Max and Ruby. The illustrations are heart warming and draw the reader in. Rosemary Wells repitition of events within the plot make her an excellent storyteller. Bunny Cakes is an endearing story.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Favorite Max and Ruby
    My children are Max and Ruby(practically) and this is our favorite. A friend's daughter even demanded a Max cake for her birthday complete with gummy worms. This is a favorite of my 3 &5 year old. ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    One night, the sounds of New York City--the rumbling of subway trains, thrumming of automobile tires, hooting of horns, howling of brakes, and the babbling of voices--is interrupted by a sound that even Tucker Mouse, a jaded inhabitant of Times Square, has never heard before. Mario, the son of Mama and Papa Bellini, proprietors of the subway-station newsstand, had only heard the sound once. What was this new, strangely musical chirping? None other than the mellifluous leg-rubbing of the somewhat disoriented Chester Cricket from Connecticut. Attracted by the irresistible smell of liverwurst, Chester had foolishly jumped into the picnic basket of some unsuspecting New Yorkers on a junket to the country. Despite the insect's wurst intentions, he ends up in a pile of dirt in Times Square.Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars Falls Short of Wind in the Willows
    When I read Wind in the Willows, I thought no other book could match its calm, slow, elegant pace, but this book does.However, I didn't find it measuring up to Wind in the Willows as far as a literary work goes.Why not?They're both written very eloquently (although I did think Wind in the Willows had some unnecessarily advanced vocabulary) and they both had outstanding and lovable characters.What's A Cricket in Times Square missing?I looked at all of the reviews here, and couldn't figure out why I didn't want to give A Cricket in Times Square any more than three stars.Then it hit me.Location!Lack of location to be exact.
    4-0 out of 5 stars the cricket in times square
    this was a short but great book. i recommend it to anybody. a must-read!!!

    5-0 out of 5 stars A Great Story About Friends!

    4-0 out of 5 stars I Spy Christmas for Everyone
    I ordered I Spy Christmas for my younger sister because our whole family enjoys I Spy books.Some of the sets in this book are: a cookie collage...pinecones in the snow...under the Christmas tree... they're really beautiful!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Oh what fun it is to spy...
    If you're familiar with the I Spy series, you know what to expect in this book. If you're new to the world of I Spy, imagine staring in your fully stocked refrigerator looking for the Philly cream cheese. You know it's there - you just bought it yesterday - but for the life of you, you can't find it. Then your spouse comes by, reaches around you and grabs the tub from beside the two-liter bottle of Pepsi. I Spy is just like that: you know what you're looking for, you know it's in the picture somewhere, and some clown is bound to come by and find it immediately after you've been searching for a half an hour. That's why I recommend letting your spouse have first crack at the pictures. It makes your finding the specified objects a breeze.
    5-0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best Christmas books....
    My son (He's 6) and I enjoy this book very much.It is an adventure everytime we read it.The extra Credits are also very challenging... ...
