The A-list, the guiltiest of guilty pleasures!!
I have read the A-list from the beginning and there is one main reason why it became one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Two Words: Sam Sharpe. This is my favorite character, I just love they way she developed, her approach to things, her cynicism that hides a very emotionally troubled young woman. She is the less cliched of all the four main characters (Anna...classy, prim and proper Hampton girl, yawn..., Cammie the uberbitch always on the verge of redeeming herself and Dee the real LosAngelino character, with all her ingenuity, incense sticks and sojourns in the loony bin). These stories, developments and characters are totally unreal, but hey people, this is FICTION! And meant to be FUN! The characters won't cover their heads in ashes, donate their money to the poor and join Mother Teresa's nuns...It is so exaggerated that it is fascinating for a European like yours truly...
why is it dragging on and on and on?
i wonder if im reading the same book the others are reading. i'm on page 101 right now and it took me about 4 days to get this far. (i've gone through 3 clique books in a day, so it's not like i'm a slow reader) the book is just so boring. its like ive read all of this cr@p before! so far sam had a graduation party at her dad's yacht, we hear about 2 new characters from a rival school who happen to be enemies of sam and her group and conveniently enough the two schools do something together, i forget what but it looks like it will be the opportunity for sam to get her revenge for getting poop smeared on her white jeans a few years back (eye-roll). anna is incapable of taking care of herself at a time of crisis (her car gets rear ended by some cliche white trash woman) so her dad's 'dont judge a book by the cover cliche' tatooed but hot new intern comes to rescue her, omg romance! (another eye roll) ben is being a troll my guess is hes cheating on her, but seriously reading that chapter where they go on this really uncomfortable date just made me want to scream at the book! it was so annoying.
I loved it
even though i love ben birnbaum i am soo happy anna leaves him hanging at the end of the novel because he thinks he can have sex with random girls but she cant even hang out with other men how typical but anne dont lead caine on.... ... Read more

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

Queen of the Scene Book and CD
I really did enjoy the book a lot.This was a book was a page turner for me to read. I have always support any thing that Queen Latifah does. She has a postive attitude.She always show young women and girls that they can do any thing if they set there mind to it. I have nothing but love for Queen Latifah. Queen Latifah keep up the good work that you are doing to help young women and girls know that nothing is impossible.

Why do celebrities write children's books?
Honest to god, this is one of the worst celebrity-written kids' books I've seen (possibly second only to Billy Crystal's saccharine tripe).Being a songwriter, you'd think Queen Latifah would actually know how to write verse... but she can't.Her rhymes have no real meter or structure, and half the time they don't even make sense (and not in a good Dr. Seuss way).The illustrations aren't that bad, but good lord, it's a shame that famous people can get crap like this published based solely on their fame. ...

I Feel Like I Like This Book!
This is our second encounter with Jamie Lee Curtis as an author and like the first (Where do Balloons Go?) they loved it!In this book we join a little girl as she takes a whirlwind tour of 13 different emotions, each told in that same sing-song rhyme that appears to be a staple of Curtis' writing.The rhymes are brought to life with the same riot of color illustrations that really seem to appeal to young readers!The kids especially liked how the colors used changed with the moods while maintaining their vivid shades (there is nothing gloomy or lackluster about this book).At the very end, there is a large picture of the girl in the story with a set of wheels that the kids can turn to see a selection of moods which was quite humorous and led to much discussion between the kids about how they were feeling right then and what types of things that have happened before made them feel angry or silly...or whatever...so it was a light, fun read, but also a good way to get more in depth discussion of moods, how they just happen sometimes and what types of activities/events make you feel certain ways...you know...like what makes you angry or sad...what makes you happy or what do you do when you just feeling silly or blue?I think Today I Feel Silly is best as a read aloud book...and the larger the group of kids you're reading to the more interesting the conversation after can get!I'd recommend this in a heart beat! We loved it!

Great book for boys and girls
This book teaches a wonderful lesson about moods and how they vary every day.You can tell its written by an actress, who likely has more dramatic moods than you and I, but the message is wonderful.I love reading this book to my six-month-old son.

Today I Feel Silly and Other Moods That Make My Day
Joyful, confused, angry and happy are just some of the many moods that can make or break your day. Today I feel silly and other moods that make my dayby Jamie Lee Curtis is a hysterical story about a spunky little red head girl whose moods changes everyday with each flip of the page. The elaborate pictures change with each mood of the girl when she goes through her ups and downs. The Author does a brilliant job at adding detail to support how she is feeling and why she is feeling that way. Young and old would get a laugh out of this comical and entertaining book. I personally I love this book because it reminds me when I was little and my own random moods. Everyday you wake up new mood that changes you and the people around you in a good or bad way. After reading this book you might ask yourself, what's my mood today? ... Read more

My Favorite of the Series
Dial L for Loser
A Good/Bad Start to the Year
Starting a completely new school isn't always easy, especially in Claire Lyon's case. Claire and her family moved from Orlando, Florida to Westchester, New York. Claire's Father is best friends with William Block, Father of Massie Block (Claire's age). The Lyon's family (Consisting of Claire's 10 year old brother Todd, Mom, and Dad) is staying in Massie's guest house in the back yard of the Block's estate. Massie does not take a liking to Claire when they first meet, and it doesn't get better. After a hard first day of school, filled with NO FRIENDS, Claire thinks of ways to get back at Massie for all the pranks she pulled on her during the day. One day while Massie, her dog, and her Dad are out on their nightly walk, Claire sneaks in and gets on Massie's computer. There she turns Massie's three best friends Dylan, Kristen, and Alicia against her. Unfortunately, during an argument with Kristen one day, Massie discovers that Claire was responsible for the feuds. At the long awaited school fundraiser auction for the girl's school, Massie and Claire's Dad take the stage for a round of "Ninety Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall." They were both drunk, and were planning on singing until $1000 more was collected for the school. It was bearable until they called for their family to come up. Massie and Claire ran out of the tent, and hid in the bushes right next to each other. For two hours, the two exchanged jokes, embarrassing moments, and stories. Afterwards, Massie even said she had fun! The war was over; at least until next week.....This is a fantastic book that all middle school girls would love.
The Clique
Wouldn't it be great to be the most popular girl in school? In Lisi Harrison's book, The Clique, that's what life is all about. This is a great book filled with drama that will hold a middle school girl's attention forever. The Clique is about a group of four girls, who rule the school called the Pretty Committee. When Claire, the new girl, comes to Westchester from Orlando, she stays in the guest house of Massie Block, the leader of the Pretty Committee, it's a whole different world. ... Read more

A Fight for Freedom
This book has a very powerful message to it.This made me think about all the things that I take for granted.With Amari beingfifteen, I can relate to her.Usually you can not find books like this now a days. This book makes me think more about how lucky I am and how there are kids in the world that aren't as fortunate as I am.Sharon knows how to grab the readers attention. My friends and I are not big readers and we thought this book was good, and it is one of the very few books that we can stand to read.Drapers knows how to catch your wondering eye because whenIsaw this book on the amazon website I wanted to read it and I was not really interested in reading any other books.
VEEEEEEEEEEERY Good!
Copper Sun was an exceptional book.I completely fell in love with it.The characters were well developed, the plot wasn't very predictable, and it gave me a sense of awe and wonder when I finished it. The book is under the genre of historical fiction and is about a 15 year old slave girl who was captured and sold into slavery from her native home in Africa.However, this isn't your typical fly-away-to-freedom slavery book.Amari, the maincharacter, was raped and brutally beaten before she escaped to freedom with her white friend and a young boy.Sharon Draper offers two perspectives-that of Amari and of her white comrad Polly.Ironically instead of escaping to the North, they escape to the South where a non-discriminatory fort exists.There all are free and equal which is extremely uncommon during the year 1738.I won't tell anymore-you have to read it for yourself!

Its and Bits of Small Steps
Small Steps is a book about a boy named Thedore(Armpit) who tries to turn his life around. While doing so, his friend X-Ray gets him into this scheme to sell tickets to the biggest popstar sensation, Kaira DeLeon. Miraculously, through his disabled nieghbor he develops a relationship with Kaira.
An Awsome book
The book small steps is Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have all ready recomended it to my whole class. I think this book was very adventueres but still could have happend. Pleeeeeeease make a sequel to this book

A Little Boring
Small Steps is too predictable in the first half. You can tell what is going to happen with X-ray and Armpit trying to sell the scalped tickets but it takes too long to get there. The second half is where it gets exciting and unpredictable. In the first half you see the puzzle pieces before they're in, in the second half puzzle pieces come flying in from all different directions. Will X-ray and Armpit sell the scalped tickets? Is Armpit in love with Tatiana, a girl at school, or the famous singer Kaira DeLeon? I think it has too much bad language and in a competition Holes would win 24-7. Others may disagree but this is what I think. ... Read more

A Wonderful Way to Help Children Grow Up Realizing Their Greatness
I recently purchased Wayne Dyer's "Whole Kit & Kaboddle" from my local public television station - a set that included several great books, CD's & a DVD - all around the subject of inspiration.Included in this set was Mr. Dyer's latest children's book, "Incredible You!".
Regarding Murdoch's Review
It is people like Murdoch that we need to keep away from our children, not Dr. Dyer.

Perfect for toddlers
My 20 month toddler LOVES this book. We bought it because he had bitten a couple of times. He wants to read it almost every night and since we introduced the book, he has stopped biting. I like it that he enjoys the book so much and asks to read it.

Excellent book for Toddlers
My two little grandchildren love this book.Both were "biters" until I got this book for them and started reading it to them.
Ouch! Biting hurts!
My (nearly) 3 year old daughter and I love this book. In our family, it's important to us to show how our actions affect other people. It's important to us not to retaliate in kind when someone hurts us. I really like how "Teeth Are Not For Biting" shows that even though we may feel rotten, there are other things to do instead - Things that don't hurt ourselves or others. ... Read more

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.

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!

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.

Sharp Looking Book
My daughter has loved Thomas since she was about a year old (she's 3 now) and this was a great present because A) She LOVES anything Thomas, B) She wants to read this book all the time and C) It seems to have sparked a love for books.
great Thomas collection
My son is a large Thomas fan. he first knew Thomas just from the trains,then he saw the show. Since he loves to read I wanted to combine 2 of his favorite things. This book did just that. It's a nice hardcover edition with enough Thomas stories to keep anyone entertained for a long time. There are nice pictures and an attached bookmark for him to keep track of his place. Highly recommend

A Very Pleasant Surprise
My adorable 2-1/2 year old grandson just loves Thomas The Train.However, his Nana (me) doesn't have a clue.So not to be ignorant, I ordered this book and was thrilled to see the wonderful illustrations as well as finding it to be a "story collection" about all the different trains.My grandson actually named all the different trains (how he does this I do not know), and I could verify that he was correct by reading the stories.The book is kept at Nana's house and Braden looks forward to reading it every time he comes for a visit. I don't think anyone would be disappointed in this book.It would make a wonderful gift! ... Read more

Aaaaaawww!
I got this book when I was 6 and I still like it! It is the touching story of little Lilly, who loves her teacher but hates him when he takes away her purple plastic purse and sunglasses. It is sooo cute and very fun to read. It is very true-to-life, unlike those other stupid books that think they're tapping into the minds of children. I highly recommend this book. I even have a kid-sized purple plastic purse and a Lilly stuffed animal! This is such a cute book. 5 stars and perfect for any age!

Another Kevin Henkes hit
We read two books to our daughter every night. With that in mind, we pay careful attention to the books we buy to read her. I love all of Kevin Henkes' books. They are both visually delightful and entertaining for both my daughter and I. He manages to be intelligent without being corny, and as I am reading I honestly feel like her vocabulary is being broadened. He never "dumbs down" his book with easy wording. I am also an English teacher and appreciate all aspects of his work.

Marvelous--another great Kevin Henkes book
I just started student teaching this semester and this was the first book I read to my third grade class. Some read it already, but were still very excited to hear it again and again!

The first is still the best!
Don't let the name fool you, this is not a farm animal book in any aspect. This is a legend, really! I first read this book in middle school, while all the other kids were reading Goosebump-like books I was delving into this funny, bold and often sad treasure.
a story well put
the pigman... paul zindel, in all his books, most especially this one, gives us a charming, more sophisticated depiction of teenage life. he doesnt categorize his characters, good, bad, spoiled, ugly, beautiful. john isnt just "the rebel teen", every one of his actions, and the the things his characters says, are justified, and if not justified, explained. meaning, theres a story behind each character, so that then you know " well thats why they did what they did". or, "thats definately something she'd say". john and lorraine think, and have consciences. and romance is lightly laid over them. all in all... its awesome.

The Pigman by zach
This books title is The Pigman by Paul Zindel. In the beginning Lorraine and John, two high school students, tell about themselves and the people around them. They also tell about the things they like to do such as make prank phone calls and hang around the cemetery with friends and drink. This book is about how the Pigman makes them realize that people they like will not always be around. In one part they are looking around the Pigman's house and they find the Pigman's wife's funeral bill.

The 10 star book "Tears ofa Tiger"
This book is amazing. It really gets you to think about a lot of things. You always say well that will never happen to me, but niether did Andy. It is a story that so many kids can relate to . Sharon Draper really out did herself in this book. This is the kind of book i could read over and over and over and never get tired of reading it. It really touched me in a special place and thought me that tomorrow is not promised and never take what you have or the people in your life for granted. I give this book 10 stars.

beyond amazing.
words cant explain how good this book was. i had to read it for a school thing and i read it in an hour it was so good. and so meaningful. its one of the reasons i will never drink. im fourteen and all my friends do but i dont plan on drinking ever, and defiantly not getting drunk. i was balling my eyes out. crying SO hard over this book.
Great Read for Middle School children
This book deals very well with controversial topics such as drunk driving and suicide. Draper tells the story in a matter of fact manner that students will read and learn from. As a teacher of middle school children, I found this book very helpful and moving and well researched. Though somewhat predictable and heavyhanded, the story achieves it purpose and would be welcome in any classroom library. ... Read more

Best Anxiety Book EVER!
My seven year old has made a complete turn around since we started this work book.She finally feels empowered!!!!She understands that worries are like a "bully" that should be told to scram!We are truly thrilled!If you are really feeling the struggle of having a child with some anxiety/worry issues you must buy this book.I bought heaps of books last week and this is definitely the stand out.Today (the 23rd day of school) was the first day that she went into school with a smile on her face!Thank you, Ms. Huebner!Thank you!

Excellent Resource
This book served not only as a wonderful reference, but also provoked various discussions between my [...] son, my husband and myself.It's written in a manner that was easy for my son to understand and it continues to hold his interest.We haven't finished with it as of yet, but so far it has provided us with another avenue in dealing with our child's anxiety issues.

Almost Didn't Get - Glad I Did
Jamie Lee Curtis' books have been a running present theme for my friend's daughter. So when her 5th birthday came up this book was an obvious choice. As I was looking over reviews, I saw the one from Cynthia L. Souza where she states the boy is giving the finger. I couldn't believe that Jamie would have this in a book. There was no way I was going to buy this if it was true so I went to the bookstore to check it out. Cynthia was way off base. The boy is simply holding his hand up in a "Stop" gesture. There is nothing wrong with this illustration. I gave a sigh of relief that my friend's daughter could continue to collect these books that she loves.

My son loves this book!
The illustrations are great and my son loves this book.It addresses kindergarten, a younger sibling, and being told "no" when a child really wants to hear "yes," all in terms a kid can relate to.He wants to read it every night before bed!

Very pleased
I am pleased with the condition of the book received and the quickness of the delivery.Thanks! ... Read more

WARNING:this review will spoil the ending!
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!
