Stories of ...             When I Was Young in the Mountains (Reading Rainbow Books)17 reviews Cynthia Rylant Puffin, 1993 Memories of the Mountaina This book showed us what is best about the mountains and the traditions of those living in those mountains. It has been so easy for our society to stereotype Appalachian mountain people as ignorant, backwards hillbillies that it is refreshing to see a depiction that shows mountain people in a different light. The old ways are disappearing. So are the mountains. The Appalachian mountains are ...             Dog Heaven158 reviews Cynthia Rylant Blue Sky Press, 1995 Good for anyone who has lost a friend As an adult a bookstore clerk offered me this book when my dog died, it helped me so much I've often given it as a gift to friends who have lost their animals.             Henry and Mudge and the Big Sleepover (Henry and Mudge Ready-to-Read)1 review Cynthia Rylant Aladdin, 2007 Level 2 readers are for kids reading independently Level 2 readers are for kids reading independently and Henry And Mudge And The Big Sleepover provides another Henry and Mudge story with fine short chapters, varied sentence structure, and adventure.

Even Mudge will enjoy helping kids who want to start "cooking up ...             Night in the Country9 reviews Cynthia Rylant Aladdin, 1991 BEAUTIFUL BOOK...GREAT TO READ WITH THE YOUNG ONES. Night in the country is a beautiful work. I love the illustrations by Mary Szilaggi. It, like the title states, deals with night in the country, in particular, night sounds, which can, if a young child is not use to them, be a bit alarming. I have found this book quite useful with young grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends who are unfortunate enough to live in the city. When they visit, ...             The Relatives Came34 reviews Cynthia Rylant Aladdin, 1993 I've given it as a gift twice We're from a large family and the images and descriptions of the family reunion really touched home.

Our favorite book is Poppleton and Friends. The characters are Poppleton, Husdon, Cherry Sue, and Uncle Bill. Alexandra's favorite part is when Poppleton put on some oil. George's favorite part is when Poppleton played cards. We ...             Poppleton11 reviews Cynthia Rylant Blue Sky Press, 1997 great value teaching for kids, and funny for parents too My daughter loves these books, and always asks me to find more. They combine a quirky personality with good solid values, giving food for discussion as well as a chance to laugh together.

Warmly recommended.             Henry And Mudge In Puddle Trouble9 reviews Cynthia Rylant Aladdin, 1996 Another favorite from Henry & Mudge series Another one of our family favorites from the series. We especially like the humor in Snow Glory and the story of the Kittens. We have nearly all the Henry & Mudge stories. This one is on our top 5 list.             Henry And Mudge and the Tall Tree House (Ready-to-Read. Level 2)2 reviews Cynthia Rylant, Suçie Stevenson Aladdin, 2003 A Wonderful Book for a Beginning Reader! My 1st grader just loves Henry and Mudge books. They are "chapter" books-- and not "baby" books. But, they are easy to read. (Easier than Magic Tree House, for example.) Plus, this series appeals to both boys and girls (but especially boys). Note: you might want to purchase Henry And Mudge First Book before this book or with this book. It introduces the characters used in the rest of the ...             Henry And Mudge And The Happy Cat2 reviews Cynthia Rylant Aladdin, 1996 We love Mudge! These funny, easy to read chapter books are a favorite in our house. Henry and his drooling dog, Mudge are the best of friends and love one another tremendously. In this story, Henry and Mudge learn to love a bedraggled cat that looks like "mushed prunes". The illustrations add to the humor of the story.             Henry And Mudge And The Sneaky Crackers3 reviews Cynthia Rylant Aladdin, 1999 Adorable and fun! Henry buys a spy kit. He and his dog, Mudge, canvas the neighborhood to "flirt with danger" and "steal secrets". One day Henry finds a secret code and is determined to crack it. Funny, adorable, irresistable Mudge is a favorite at house! He can even get my reluctant reader eager to see what happens next. Easy reading level with short chapters gives the hesitant reader a real sense of ...             An Angel For Solomon Singer10 reviews Cynthia Rylant Scholastic, 1996 An Angel For Solomon Singer (by a 5 year-old reviewer) I think it is one of the most perfect books ever. Since my mom bought it, well,I'm encouraged. Because I'm a student, I could have it for my schoolbook. If I could give it ten billion stars, I'd yell out, "Hey, Solomon Singer!" (Giggle!)             Walt Disney's Cinderella11 reviews Cynthia Rylant Disney Press, 2007 for all fairy tale lovers, young or old This stunning, sophisticated new adaptation of perhaps the most beloved fairy tale of all time will appeal to children as well as adult collectors.

It turned out to be such a big hit that I am buying it! She of course can't read, but enjoyed the story and pictures very much. She loves Mudges playfullness and had just been to the beach recently so she could relate to Henry and his father playing in the water.
