GREAT!
I thought these books, just like the others, were amazing! They added plot and depth and mystery to the storyline and put me on the edge of my seat! I can't wait for the next books!

The Gloom Loons... FOR REAL!!!
"The Trouble Begins" was wonderful. "The Situation Worsens" was okay. "The Dillemma Deepens" were dull but interesting. THIS???????? It's a disgrace!!! I could put up with Lemony Snicket's talking for a while but this is insane!! I had to skip whole pages just to keep awake!? I mean WHO, WHO with the right mind wants definitions, stupid stories and lectures in an ADVENTURE BOOK!? But not just that, it becoming SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! At first, the Series of Unfortunate Events was wonderful, full of adventure and mystery and exiting parts. Now, what I see is count olaf giving up on the children and the children going with a STUPID organization and DULLL characters and etc. and etc. and etc. I was so disssapointed with "The grim grotto" that I don't want to even see a page of "The Penulitamate Peril" that is the hardest to say. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY OR EXITEMENT FOR THIS PIECE OF JUNK, IF YOU LIKED THE BAD BEGGINNING, THE WIDE WINDOW, OR EVEN THE DULL MISERABLE MILL, THIS IS NOT THE SEQUEL FOR YOU. AS I SAID THE GLOOM REALLY LOOMS!!!

So dull! So dull!
What happened to the Bad Begginning? The Wide Window? This is dull dull dull! No exiting parts! And Lemony Snicket is constantly writing about himself! Who wants to have lectures in an adventure book???!!! And it gettin' (...) ... Read more

The Magic Tree House Books 1-8
Excellent. It is so educational and my kids cannot wait to get into the car to listen to it.I loved it so much that I ordered books 9-24.It is a definite must have.

We could hardly wait to get in the car to listen!
My 6 year old grandson and I both enjoyed listening to the different adventures that Jack and Annie had as they flew from story to story. My grandson's favorite was the tale of the Mummy. My favorite thing was seeing his enjoyment and having him not grumble at having to run errands with me. The stories also expanded his vocabulary as each new or difficult word was explained by Jack to Annie in a way a child could understand.

Love the stories, dislike the organization of the CDs
The Magic Tree House stories are wonderful!My 5 year-old daughter loves listening to the stories at night.However, whomever made the decision to have a story multiple CDs surely didn't think about the listener.I've often wondered if it would be possible to burn separate CDs for each of the stories to make it easier for my daughter to hear a complete story without using a multi-disc CD changer.It's a pity that the CDs are packaged this way as otherwise it's a great package. ...

Editorial Review

For most children, summer vacation is something to look forward to.Butnot for our 13-year-old hero, who's forced to spend his summers with an aunt, uncle,and cousin who detest him. The third book in J.K. Rowling's HarryPotter series catapults into action when the young wizard "accidentally" causes the Dursleys' dreadful visitor Aunt Marge to inflate like a monstrous balloon and drift up to the ceiling. Fearing punishment from Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon (and from officials at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who strictly forbid students to cast spells in the nonmagic world of Muggles), Harry lunges out into the darkness with his heavy trunk and his owl Hedwig.

I like the book
I choose to read Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban this summer,as a summer reading book because I thought the movie was good. So , I decided to read the book and see what is different and the same. J.k. Rowling has a great nack for writing children's because i love the books she writes.What I don't like is that the book ends and doesn't say where Harry stays. Does he stay with his godparent or dr does he go back to his uncle & aunts house.Maybe he stays with his godparent or go's to his uncles or he stays in hogwarts. I would like to read the fourth book to find out.

It was a great book
This summer i read the book Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban. I thought the book was greta and so was the movie. In the book there is some parts that are the same in the movie and somethings that are in the book not in the movie.That is what i did not like about the book the parts should of been explain so you could understand it more. Overall i like reading Harry Potter books because they are very interesting and exciting to me.

It is very funny !!! great book!!!
This is a plot for everyone because it is very entertaining. It is also very easy to understand. Once you start reading, you can hardly put the book down. There are also links to other episodes of the book that makes the reader want to read more. There are usages of magic, fantasy creatures, and competitive sports in the plot to create colorful variety to the audience. J.K. Rowling uses the purity of adolescence and interprets it in the form of courage, cooperation, and youthful innocence that showed the power to overcome many things.

Creative look at Autumn
This is a WONDERFUL book! We read it to our class of 3-year-old preschoolers, and they were absolutely captivated. They were so quiet and engaged that they forgot to ask when we were leaving to go on our field trip.
GREAT BOOK TO ACTUALLY GO OVER WITH YOUR KIDS TOGETHER
This is one of those books that is absolutely made for the parent or teacher to read with the child, talk and listen.Each photograph is an absolute work of art.Not only do you get to expose the child to some wonderful art work, but also this book is an ideal set up for a nature study. It actually gives the adult, who hopefully has done their own homework, to interact with the child and add thier (adult and child) own thoughts.The story is not much, but this is one of those works where the story, if more detailed, would just get in the way.I liked the concept of this work.This is a good one to work with the child in the fall.After reading and discussing the book, a walk in the woods, yard, park or what ever, can bring out quite a lot of insight from the child...they can relate.Recommend this one highly.

Beautiful book

so cute
My son loves this book before bed!Very cute, rhyming passages. Also have "Going to Bed Book" by this author and we love both!!

Best Boynton Book
We've checked out a number of Boynton books from our library, and Pajama Time is the first one my daughter has really loved.She just turned two, and she is always asking for "Jammie Time" to be read to her, especially when we are getting her ready for bed.I like how the book can be sung, which always brings a smile to my daughter's face.The pictures and words are silly and seem to be very appealing to toddlers.

A family favorite for years
We love this book so much that we buy it for all our friends and family that have babies.It is the perfect rocking chair companion.We love the sing-song rhyming of the story, and we read it so much to our children (5 & 6) that we still remember all the words.

Absolutely Splendid
The 23 original tales by Beatrix Potter comes in a sturdy presentation box. All 23 tales are of the original art work and are beautifully made. The books are small for little hands (just the way Beatrix Potter wanted them). The stories are classic and completely timless and brings backs many memories of childhood. They are perfect for adults and their little ones.

Beautiful set - same as ISBN: 0723284075
Amazing set of timeless books - small size perfect for small hands!

oh the thinks you can think
I love it because you get to finish fast and their like riming words.I love riming words they always make me interested in the book.they say right and then they change the wordto light.Those are changing words.I love when they put the words they are supossed to put and then they change them.It was a different Dr.Suess book it was "The Thinks You Can Think" it was really incredible.

Very cute book to get your little one to think!
What a cute book!This book greatly inspires little ones to use their imaginations and think up all sorts of things.This book also reminds me of a story in Seuss' book, "I can Lick 30 Tigers Today," in which the Cat-in-the-Hat's daughter uses her imagination to think up a Glunk.That's a pretty funny story too.Anyway, in this tale, there really isn't a storyline at all.Just page after page of silly drawings of things that don't exist mostly (like how much water can 55 purple elephants drink?).My little one recognizes Seuss' drawings and always tells me that's 55 Hortons drinking water!Or, how about "schlopp.Schlopp, schlopp, beautiful schlopp.Beautiful schlopp with a cherry on top."And what on earth is a jibboo anyway?A bird's head on a human body, walking down a dark street?This book is filled with very silly things such as this, none of which make sense, but all of which cause little ones to use their imaginations.It's a great time reading this one aloud and ours gets read nightly.
But can you think as many thinks as Dr. Seuss thinks?
"Life" magazine published a report in May of 1954 about illiteracy among American school children.One of the key things in this article was that children were not inspired to read because their books were boring, which is to say the world of Dick, Jane and Spot.So it came to pass that Theodore Geisel's publisher sent him and a list of 400 words that had to be cut to 250 (because that was how many words it was believed a first grader could understand before their heads exploded or something), and then write a book.At this point in the history of the world Geisel was best known as the creator of Gerald McBoing-Boing, an animated character for which he won an Oscar.The book, of course, was "The Cat in the Hat," which used 220 of those words, and for the rest of his life Dr. Seuss wrote books that were part of the Beginner Books and Bright and Early Books series, which proudly allowed young kids to proclaim "I Can Read It All By Myself."Consequently, Dr. Seuss was one of the major forces in American literacy in the last half of the 20th century.Read more

Editorial Review

Hat and boot in hand, a boy and a bear set off on a delicious and raucous romp through Berryland. They frolic in strawberry fields forever, rumble and ramble in blackberry brambles, and topple their canoeberry with blueberries. Silly rhymes and a musical beat practically beg to be read aloud, preferably accompanied by dancing. New readers will giggle as they follow the fruit-frenzied pals on their berry adventures.

Greatest kids book in our house
This book was a gift and has quickly become a favorite, my favorite. It has beautiful illistrations, some rhyming and lots of imagery. I have given this book as a gift to everyone having a baby!

Love it!
This is one of my daughters favorites (and I like it too!)It is a fun book to read and the pictures are really cute.Our copy goes almost everywhere with us-a second copy is in the future!

My son and my favorite book
I bought this book when my son was 11 months old.The cadence of the whole book is wonderful.I've read it slow and I've read it so fast I can't keep up with myself turning the pages.It was quickly a favorite of mine, and when my son was old enough he would get this book from his 'library' and hand it to me.Even now (he's 8) we love this book.He reads it to me.And I love to ask "faster, faster" like he would do when I was reading to him.This spring we planted a strawberry pyramid and 3 blueberry bushes.It was funny that I didn't think of this book when my son said he wanted to plant these.But it makes perfect sense now.This will be a book that is handed down to his children and bought for his nieces and nephews I'm sure.The board book format is so excellent, the book is still in fabulous shape. ...

The Review from a Perfect Score
The book starts off at Harry's aunt and uncle's house. Harry goes back to Hogwarts for his second year at school. There is a new character and his name is "Dobby." He is a slave. He does not want Harry Potter to go to Hogwarts. Dobby made it so that Harry could not get on the train so Harry took a flying car. And Dobby made the Blunger in Quitage chase him and break his arm.
Great book
Great book, but did anyone notice that they left there trunks in the trunk of the car yet had them when they got to school...?
Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets
An absolutely enthralling book. The story can grasp the attention of 10 year olds and 30 year olds. A great story to read to your children before bedtime. J.K. Rowling is amazing, she brings back my memories of Ronald Dahl and other great writers of the past. If you dont have this book you should get it right now! There is no time to waste, a world of wizardy and magic lies ahead of you! ... Read more

A Classic
A classic story, but one that needs some explaining.After all, bullfights aren't really PC these days.If you try not to get too deep, it's still a nice story.

Wonderful Classic Story
I picked this book up at the bookstore about three years ago for my oldest son who at the time was 4 yrs old. He loved this book then and still does now.Also his younger brother who is 3 enjoys this story. I read this to them a few times a week and don't get tired of the story myself either. They think some of the pictures are hilarious.Would highly recommend.

A Classic Story about a Bull named Ferdinand
This is about Ferdinand who was a bull but didn't act very much like a mean, rough bull.The illustrations are in black and white, but they are quite funny (especially the men in the three funny hats). This is a classic story that I read growing up in the early sixties.It is still a good story despite it's age.Parents should read the classics in children's literature to their children.A must read ages 4-8. ...

Great Book for Soon to be Big Brothers!
My son is just barely 6 and will be a big brother in about 3 weeks.I got this book to help prepare him for the arrival of his baby sister and it was a great purchase.It has helped him understand that the baby will be pretty helpless for a while, and that he can help with the baby.It also talks about how great it is to be the "big kid". It is a simple book that doesn't have a lot of pages.It would definitely be appropriate for younger children.

Cute -- not memorable.
Great pictures. Just an average book. It is written from the point of view of once the baby is home. At any rate, it helps get your child ready for the coming arrival.

A great teaching tool!
My 21-month-old son loved this book while I was pregnant. When the baby was born, he quoted the book to us many times, going over and over what babies can and cannot do. "Can't walk, can't talk, can't play toys...can drink milk, can sleep, can cry."I think it really helped him with a difficult adjustment, and gave him the reassurance that Mommy and Daddy love him still, even though there was a new baby to love, too. ...

Not for kids
I first read HCA when I was about 8 and I remember being baffled at their deviation from the standard "fairy tale" formula. They stayed withme however.
Every one should read
This is the perfect gift for a child or adult of any age who enjoys reading.

Childhood Storytime Staple
I had a version of this book when I was a kid and was super excited to be able to share these tales with my own children.There aren't a lot of illustrations for the kids to look at, which I love because it forces my kids to use their imaginations.So this is a book that is best for before bed time reading and is sure to inspire wonderful Dreams!There are very few short stories in this collection.Most of them are very long and the kids will go to sleep before you reach the end.But if you're familiar with the enchanting tale weaving of Andersen, you know as a parent, you will want to finish the stories to satisfy your own curiosities.A must have for any household with Kids.Pages are thin and if you cry on any page is goes through multiple stories...but that definitely adds character to our book!Enjoy! ...

Young readers will devour this fancy new boxed set ofthe first five paperbacks in the side-splitting, potty-humored (literally)Captain Underpants series.

I am in just as much suspense as my 7 year old to get to the next chapter!!
I bought this box set because of readers reviews & I could not be more happy.My son follows me around the house and has asked me at 7am to read more Captain Underpants, how can I say no... he loves it and we love it too.The author does a great job presenting the stories in a way kids and parents will love.I am waiting to see an ACME product in the book to along with the PATSY 2000, 3-D imaging machine.
Captain Underpants 1-5
Funny ,Yet Bawdy reading. My seven year old brought one of these home from the school library one day. Although initially shocked by the bathroom humour in the book I realized my son was reading as fast as he could. This is the adult equivalent of a "couldn't put it down" novel. I purchased the 5 book series and tried rationing the books over a week or so. Let me tell you , he wanted the next book as soon as he finished the previous one.It is important to note that this should not be the only type of reading your child should do, I look at these books a kind of a fun playful reward, like a movie or music.

Kids love poopy talk
My daughter discovered the Captain Underpants series a couple of months ago and I have to say, at first I wasn't sure I wanted to encourage her reading nonsense material.When I read the titles of the books, I had such a laugh and it really hit me why some kids love these books--they are sooo funny and it's exactly the kind of thing that a attracts a child.Kids love potty talk and silly pictures and the seeing Harold and his friend get into constant trouble with the principle at their school.These jokesters are forever playing pranks and trying to get themselves out of trouble.Yes, it's complete nonsense, but, it got my daugther to read chapter books!she's hooked.She loves to read and it's her love for reading that I'm encouraging not the nonsense. ...

Another Amazing Charlie Bone Book
It' about this boy named Charlie Bone and he has to find the Mirror of Amoret before The Shadow takes his mother away.What I liked the best about this book was that there was always a new surprise around the corner.What i disliked about the book was that the ending just left you hanging.It didn't really finish the way I thought it would, but it was still really exciting.

Another good book
Not sure if this is the last book in the series or not. It ends abruptly. However, it was a good book to read, so 4 stars. I had Artemis Fowl, and 2 Charlie Bone books at the same time. I read all, but my kids dropped Charlie in favor of Artemis. Hence the 4 stars.
Loved the Ending
This book is, as usual, Charlie Bone and his adventures. Unlike the other books, this one is not about keeping some child secret from the bloors but stoping a horrible creature from destroying the city: The Shadow from the Red King's painting. In his quest to stop the shadow, Charlie encounters magic mirrors, frozen relatives, disappearing animals, a witch disquised as a teacher, and many more. Want to know more? Read the book.

Artemis Fowl
I myself am a huge fan of sci-fi fantasy. I like HP, Artemis Fowl, and others. So I'm not taking sides on HP vs. Artemis Fowl. I found this book enjoyable and a quick read. It was very different from what I expected, though. For instance, fairies are extremely technologically advanced. It's filled to the brim with excitement and adventure. Artemis captures LEP officer, Holly Short, and when she is freed, Artemis must escape the bio-bomb. I think that this is a good book for all ages.

A little slow
After reading the Harry Potter series with my son, we decided to try this book. I was a little disappointed in the story and the pace.
A fascinating tale
Artemis Fowl is an enthralling tale of a young boy, son of London underground criminal mastermind, trying to sustain his family fortune. By undergoing this quest, he must steal an ancient race's money: the fairies. He kidnaps one of LEP's greatest operatives, Holly Short, hostage. Can this young prodigy obtain his goal of the fairies gold?

THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL, "STUPID TALES"
THERE WAS NO DOUBT I WASN'T WARNED BEFORE PURCHASING THIS, WHAT I WAS GETTING.IT'S SARCASTIC, PARTS ARE FUNNY, BUT I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO WASTE ANY MORE OF MY TIME BY FINISHING THE BOOK. HOWEVER, HIS BOOK ABOUT THE WOLF & 3 PIGS WAS MUCH MORE CLEVER AND ENTERTAINING.

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tails
A fantastic book not only for the young, but all ages. However, if you do not have the background knowledge in the many original fairy tales, you may fail to see the humour throughout the book. I love it!

Stinky Cheese... funny? YES!
The story is narrated by Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk.It is separated into a few short funny stories based on well known fairy tales.Jack talks to characters in the stories as well as the reader throughout the book in a very comical way that keeps the readers involved and entertained.All of the short stories are very funny and separate from each other; however, the characters sometimes travel from one story to another as a sort of underlying plot.

Goodnight Moon in Spanish
As an NY born of Dominican decent, I love reading this book to my little one.My 20 month old daughter loves this book. We have both the English and Spanish versions of the book.Often times she brings her Dad or me both books to read to her.We start with one gets tired of it mid-way and then she wants us to pick up where we left off in the other language.It doesn't really matter to her which language we start/end with.We change it up all the time.I agree with some other reviewers that the translation is not exact, but the flow is very good with the changes that were made.I especially like "la viejecita que teje muy calladita" instead of "a quiet old lady who was whispering 'hush'," especially since I knit and my daughter can relate to that.Because of this book she has begun to comfortably alternate luna/moon and star/estrella.I think it's really important for my little girl to learn both Spanish and, obviously, English and this book makes it that much easier to accomplish.

Good Night Moon (spanish edition)
Our family does not speak Spanish.However my son is currently taking Spanish 5 in high school.He believes learning a foreign language is important and wants to teach his new niece.He is looking forward to reading it to her!

Great stories!
These are wonderful stories for young children.They are very entertaining, suspenseful but not scary, and informative.My daughter is always saying, "Daddy, guess what?Did you know..."My only complaint is that some of the stories are often split over two cds.

Night of the Ninjas
I liked this book so much that I read it in less than one day!Very exciting.Highly recommended.

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.

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.
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
