Editorial Review

He may be an old standby, but he never lets us down. When in doubt, turn to the story of the cat that transformed a dull, rainy afternoon into a magical and just-messy-enough adventure. There's another, hidden adventure, too: this book really will help children learn to read. With his simple and often single-vowel vocabulary, the good Doctor knew what he was doing: hear it, learn it, read it--laughing all the way. Read more

Childhood Favorite! More than meets the eye!
The Cat in the Hat at first glance may seem like a nonsensical text meant merely to amuse its readers. If you stop and ponder this story of two children left at home alone one afternoon, you soon realize there is a more powerful message than first meets the eye. The children clearly know the difference between right and wrong, but with the slightest influence from the Cat, they easily give in. I believe the fish represents their conscience. They choose to ignore its warning time and again, and therefore, find themselves in a mountain of mess. Before the story's end, they are able to right the wrongs, but we as readers are left with this thought and question: "Then our mother came in and she said to us two, "Did you have any fun, tell me what did you do?" Should we tell her about it? Now what SHOULD we do? What would you do if your mother asked you?" (Seuss, 60-61).
A Classic
It was very late one weekday night,
Love this
This is such a fun clever book.I love to read it to my son.The story gets so exciting- the only problem is it has so much going on in it that some times I think it is not good to read it before bed time.Because if you get too into the characters it could wake your kid up.Love it! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Among the greatest charms of children is their ability to view a simple activity as a magical adventure. Such as a walk in the woods late at night. Jane Yolen captures this wonderment in a book whose charm rises from its simplicity. "It was late one winter night, long past my bedtime, when Pa and I went owling." The two walked through the woods with nothing but hope and each other in a journey that will fascinate many a child. John Schoenherr's illustrations help bring richness to the countryside adventure. The book won the 1988 Caldecott Medal. ... Read more

Highly Recommended
My 4 1/2 year old grandson LOVES this book.His "usual choice" in books is one with LOTS of action.This book appeals to his love of family and animals.He now asks to go "owling" - and we plan to take him!There's a peaceful warmth in this story - a story that makes a child want to curl up in your lap and hear it "again".I highly recommended it.

Owl Moon
A treasure for every child's library.A "warm hug" of a book sure to be read aloud many, many times and cherished as your child grows.

A Perfect Book
This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen. The illustrations and the story complement each other perfectly. I got so lost in the pictures and the words that after closing the book I was momentarily confused by the sunny day outside.

Can be used to teach about trees and their seasonal changes.
This book covers the basics of what a tree goes through every season.Arnold and his dog take you through each season and explain what type of activities they do with the tree.Winter they build a fort around the tree for company, summer they build a treehouse, fall they rake and pick apples and in spring they hang out in the tree and smell the apple blowwoms and build a tree swing.Arnold treats the tree as his friend through-out the book.On a few of the pages, there is a recipe for apple pie, directions and explanations of what a cider press is and does and facts about honeybees.My overall impression of the book is that it is an okay book with okay pictures.If it wasn't partially educational, it wouldn't have been rated with 3 stars.

Useful and sweet, although, perhaps, a bit bland
I found this to be a very useful book for introducing the concept of seasons to my 5 yr old son.It's beautifully illustrated and the story is quite sweet, although I'm not sure how frequently he will ask to hear it again.It's not likely to end up on his list of favorites.

Great for Teaching the Seasons
I recently purchased this book for my kindergartener to do a book project.He needed a book about the seasons, and this one fit perfectly.It simply illustrates and tells what happens to Arnold's apple tree around the year as each season passes. ... Read more

Editorial Review

When poor James Henry Trotter loses his parents in a horrible rhinoceros accident, he is forced to live with his two wicked aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. After three years he becomes "the saddest and loneliest boy you could find." Then one day, a wizened old man in a dark-green suit gives James a bag of magic crystals that promise to reverse his misery forever. When James accidentally spills the crystals on his aunts' withered peach tree, he sets the adventure in motion. From the old tree a single peach grows, and grows, and grows some more, until finally James climbs inside the giant fruit and rolls away from his despicable aunts to a whole new life. James befriends an assortment of hilarious characters, including Grasshopper, Earthworm, Miss Spider, and Centipede--each with his or her own song to sing. Roald Dahl's rich imagery and amusing characters ensure that parents will not tire of reading this classic aloud, which they will no doubt be called to do over and over again! With the addition of witty black and white pencil drawings by Lane Smith (of Read more

james and the giant peach
This book was an okay one. It was a little weird, but I liked to read it. They had a lot of unrealistic stuff in it like a peach growing at an amazing rate. There was a cloud that turned into a mean rhino and scared James. There was a flying peach because they made a balloon. This book is recommended for grades 5th to 6th.

Always a Pleasure!
We do seem to love the story of a child whose life is so miserable that it begs for a magical rescue and an exciting, dangerous and hair raising adventure.In James and the Giant Peach we meet one James Henry Trotter, one of these very same children who like his predecessors and successors (Harry Potter, Cinderella, Those Lemony Snickett Children, Hansel & Gretel, ect...) is leading a desperate and miserable life with is two wicked aunts...his parents were eaten by a wild, rampaging rhinoceros (naturally).On one particularly bad day, Henry hides behind some bushes and meets a strange old man who gives him some magic crystals (green glowing pellet things), which he is supposed to drink (mixed with water and ten of his own hairs), but of course he promptly trips and spills them on the ground under an ancient and withered peach tree. A Good Read!
James and the Giant Peach is about the adventures of a boy named James and his gigantic peach.At first James lived with his parent's until they died.Then James came to live with his Aunts.The Aunts were mean to James.When James was out one day an old man gave magic seeds to James.James was supposed to run home and drink them for his life to get better.But he dropped the seeds into the soil and into the peach tree and the peach tree grew a gigantic peach.One night James went into the peach and saw huge bugs with real personalities.The Peach rolled into the ocean and the bugs and Jame's were trying to get out of the ocean.The silk worm made string and attached them to sea gulls.They caught so many sea gulls that they started to rise from the ocean then they drifted off into the sky and eventually they got stuck on top of the Empire State building's needle.The policemen got them off the building and onto the ground and they were all treated like heroes.

Despereaux is a fun book.
I would recommend this book, The Tale of Despereaux, by Kate DiCamillo for animal lovers and lovers of fantasy. Despereaux, a mouse, is born in the medieval times.A rat named Roscuro captures the princess and the brave mouse Despereaux goes to save her. The book is about bravery no matter how small you are.
A book review of "The Tale of Despereaux" by Chris C.
The main characters in this book are a mouse named Despereaux, the Thread Master, Princess Pea, King Phillip, Miggery Sow and a rat named Roscuro.The story mainly takes place in King Phillip's castle and the dungeon.The story begins when Despereaux Tilling is born.He was born in the light.He was born with his eyes open and he had big ears.All of the mice were very suspicious of him since he was born with his eyes open.He was the smallest mouse to be seen by the other mice in all of the castle.Only his family was nice to him.

Great!
Before I begin reviewing this book I must tell you that I am not Charles Moore but his daughter who loves the Tiffany Aching books.
Discworld
I've decided he's too good and too prolific for me to write a brand new review every single time I read one of his books. Discworld currently has 34 titles and every one of them will probably knock your socks off. His mind bubbles and flashes like a boiling pot of electric eels, and I simply can't get enough of his writing.
another amazing Pratchet book
This book is the sequel to another book called the Wee Free Men{ignore the bad title- it is also a great book] so you should probably read that first.But this book blows every other Pratchet book away. Besides being extremely hillarious, it is also surprisingly heart-warming, and will delight anyone who likes an exciting, well-written fantasy. You won't want to put it down till the very end. It leaves you with tingles inside. If you are looking for a good fantasy book, buy this immediately! ... Read more

I like inventions a lot.
I am 7 years old.I wasn't very interested about the men in the book.But I was very interested about the inventions and the flying bicycle.And I hope 4 stars is good for me and you.

Great magic
This is the first Magic Tree House book I have experienced.I really enjoyed the book and think the author done an awesome job of incorporated history (through investions and scientific discoveries).The trips the two characters (Jack and Annie) take are not only an adventure but also educational.I would like to go back and read the books that came before.

Another great from Mary Pope Osborne!
My son loves this whole series.If you have not started your child on these for age 5 and up, do so!These are the most interesting books for young kids.And so far the series has seem to grow up with my son.This book lists the scientists such as Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and others. These books really start a child learning about history.My son is so much into this history of these, it has led him to research on his own through other books about the historical events! We have also read the accompanying research books.The only thing I wish for now, is some children travel guides from Mrs. Osborne (it would be a great add on to the research books!). Thanks so much for these! ... Read more

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.

PERFECT FOR TELLING AROUND THE CAMPFIRE!
SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK has classic campfire stories, such as ''The Hook'', and ''Me-Tie Daughty Walker'' along with lesser known tales like ''Alligators'' and ''May I Carry Your Basket''? Some stories are funny, such as ''The Viper'' (I've come to vipe your vindows) and ''The Ghost With Bloody Fingers'' (cool it dude, get a band-aid) while others are genuinely spooky, like ''The Guests'' and ''Cold as Clay''. The book was clearly intended for reading out loud, many stories even have tips for the reader, such as when to raise and lower your voice. Stephen Gammell's pictures are mysterious and darkly beautiful. I highly recommend this book for those looking for a spooky read aloud.

Pretty darn creepy
First of all, at 14 years old, I have never been the most courageous of all, especially when it comes to ghost stories and psychological fear, the fear that lurks in your head; I have ALWAYS possessed that peculiar human craving to be scared out of my wits by a good ghost story, but like the human I am, have more often than not chickened out before getting to the "punchline" of the tale.
A LOT better than R.C. Welch's "Scary Stories For Stormy Nights"!
A LOT better than R.C. Welch's "Scary Stories For Stormy Nights"! Unlike that book, these stories are original (and not sad).

Train Your Child To Be An Analytical Thinker (and Innoculate Him Against Math Phobia)....
After her math teacher "Mrs. Fibonacci" says that almost everything could be thought of as a math problem, the narrator enters a bizarre realm where "everything seems to be a problem," and it gets increasingly worse, as she becomes a "math zombie" before the brilliant (and for older folks, profound) conclusion.The math problems start out simple ("It takes me 10 minutes to get dressed...If my bus leaves at 8:00, will I make it on time?"), even English is a math problem ("If mail+box=mailbox... Does lipstick-stick=lip?)"Money, time, measurement, fractions, sequences, estimation, sets, logic and more are covered--there's even a quadratic formula and mention of Zeno!The brilliance of this book is that it anticipates and removes the obstacle of math phobia, specifically fear of word problems, that I saw more often than not back when I was a math teacher.Although the bookcover says "For ages > 6 and < 99,"and that is true because of the layers of relevance, I'd especially recommend it for early third grade, that way by the time the onslaught of word problems begins, word problems will seem more like word "puzzles" and fun.Great critical thinking tool, fun both in its story and visuals.

Um...yeah
This book is really stupid and, honestly, if I had children, I would not ever put them down by giving them this book.Anyone who has a brain with a capacity higher than that of one with F.A.S. should be able to figure out the answes within two seconds or less and is a waste of money and time.

Great Real-Life Math Book
This book is great for showing kids how math constantly appears in real life!

A rich part of this bilingual Canadian's heritage
Among my very early memories is as one of several children sitting on the sloped lawn between two of my neighbour's houses, each of us reading a different story - and so, in no particular order - from "Les Aventures de Tintin." This was my introduction to the most extraordinary comics world ever created, a part of my French-language heritage, though the series has been translated into many languages including English. My goal with these reviews (one for each volume) is to explain to an American audience why Tintin is such a phenomenon in the rest of the world.
The Adventures of Tintin: Tintin in America / Cigars of the Pharaoh / The Blue Lotus (3 Complete Adventures in One Volume, Vol.

Fun for adults, too!
We received this CD for a gift a year ago and my kids(4 1/2 and 13mo) and I still BOTH enjoy hearing it!Fun, catchy tunes, with a bit of humor for adults, and silliness for kids.

Wholesome family entertainment we can ALL sing along to!
Despite some unevenness , this album and its accompanying book are a drive-time hit in our household - amazing considering my kids are 10 and 11 - oh, and a baby, who probably doesn't get all the subtleties, but enjoys the music nonetheless.
For the seriously silly
This is first rate music for adults and kids.It is Disney quality family fun.Great music that kids and the kid that lives inside each one of us can enjoy.I still find myself singing some of the lyrics from the Turkey Love Song and Tropical Sands (particularly since I live in Alaska)..... ...

AIR GUITAR HEAVEN FOR MY 5, 6 & 8 YEAR OLDS. THEY LOVE THIS CD/BOOK - ROCK ON!
I almost can't believe that some reviewers are so critical. My kids don't know the writer/illustrator from a hole in the wall -- but I have to re-play the Bacon Brother's "Pots and Pans" and that other hot rockin' tune that has something to do with broccoli(eieieieie!) over and over.My three kids have formed their own backseat air guitar/drums/whatever band, they've memorized the lyrics, they're getting along and, when I gaze back at them, they're NOT brain frozen, dull eyed focussed on a little screen tv watching a video.Movin' and Groovin', baby.I love it, so do they. ROCK ON, DOG TRAIN!

Rejoice, Boomers.Rock 'n' Roll is hear!
Tired of listening to your G'childs "Wee-sings" & Raffi? Do we really have to listen to these again...& again & again
Great sequel!
This book delivered exactly what I expected from a sequel to Philadelphia Chickens and Rhinoceros Tap (as well as Pigorian Chants). The kids just love it and the songs and music are good to listen to for adults as well. While they can be silly, they are contemporary and inspire, rather than grind on your nerves like some other kids song books. Definitely worth a look and listen many times over. ... Read more

A great book!
I have read all of the books in this series and they were all amazing. This one was one that caught my attention more than the other ones just because all of the girls in the book are more independent and rebelious. It is a classic girly girl book that keeps you on your toes. I couldn't put it down! It took me only a day to read and it was killing me that I hadn't yet read the last book. I highly recomend it to anyone that likes love stories with a little twist! It tells the story of four girls Bridget, Carmen, Tibby, and Lena. They have been best friends for their whole life and have to again seperate for the summer. Each girl goes to their summer destinations. This can not tear them apart of course, they write to eachother and pass around a pair of pants. These aren't any ordinary pants though they are magical. They bring good luck to each girl and fits each of their very different shapes. A symbol of friendship and love that is with them, like a blanket. Put this on your top for "must read!"

Girls in Pants Review
Girls in Pants is the sequel to the sisterhood books 1 & 2. This book is about 4 teenage girls who have magic pants that fits all of them and brings them good luck. The book tells you about thier lives the summer before they all go of to college.
