Latke-licious
I happened upon this book by chance but it was love at first bite! Absolutely hilarious version of a family gathering for Chanukah. Goofy, but almost too true to life for some Jewish families at holiday times. Must be shared with all, especially those Jewish familes that tend to get a little rowdy when brought together for functions!

Mighty Dog YES!
My daughter borrowed this book from the library without even looking at the cover. She just pulled it from the shelf and ran for the checkout counter. What a gem! She loves it and it's the first book her 17 month old brother has ever taken an interest in. Maybe it's because I read it with a cornpone accent. But whatever it is, he never tires of reading it. I read it to him 4 times in one ...

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1986

Wonderful story and illustrations
An avid reader even at a very young age, this is one of the books that lingered in my memory. A very simple tale, but beautifully-written. Twenty years later, I have just put in an order for a new copy as my old copy was lost sometime in my youth.

Children and monster CAN get along!
Maurice Sendak never seems to let us down. Seven little monster We love you Mama, is such a wonderful children's book. The illustrations are fun to look at and the characters are so charming. I recommend it to all those Seven little monster TV show fans. It's such a cute book!

The Witch's Child

Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2007

Resplendent illustrations heighten a classic treatment of good and evil
Arthur Yorinks does not shrink from furnishing the reader with a classic tale of good and evil in this story of the consequences of love withheld and love bestowed. Beware, this book is in the Brothers Grimm tradition of intensely frightening wickedness ultimately overcome by the forces of heart-warming benevolence. This may be too intense for pre-schoolers, but not necessarily, in light of what ...
