A must have book
Several years ago my daughter and I saw this book on Between the Lions. We instantly fell in love with it. I missed the title and author. I've been looking for it for years. I finally found it! My daughter is now 6. She still loves it. I don't travel much, but we have family far away and are preparing her for her first extended stay with grandma. This book is perfect for reassuring her. There ...

All children in grades K-5 should own this book
We are using this book in the elementary school that I work in. It is a great book for pbs, or any other program your school may have practicing kindness, helpfulness, and good behavior. It's about a group of children trying to make a change by performing good deeds for no reason at all. Also demonstrates teamwork, and how to convert an enemy into a friend. I think every child should own this ...

Delightful charmer for those shy of bedtime
I'm a pretty recent fan of Lisa McCourt (and Cd Moore's amazingly illustrations) and I must say I am quite pleased with this latest book and I hope my upcoming crop of 1st graders feels the same way. Realistically, I would aim this toward the kindergarten crowd. Whomever appreciates, it truly is another well-done piece and the illustrations are just gorgeous. The subject is the tradition ...

A great book to give your daughter!
My kids and I fell in love with I LOVE YOU, STINKY FACE years ago, and we are thrilled that Lisa McCourt and Cyd Moore have a new book. THE MOST THANKFUL THING is a charming book to share with your daughter. You can guess what mom's most thankful thing will be, but each turn of the page leads the little girl on a journey through her mom's past...days of summer camp, and high school, and dating, ...

Chicken Soup for Little Souls The Braids Girl (Chicken Soup for Little Souls)

Merry Christmas, Stinky Face
Lisa McCourt

Cartwheel Books, 2008

"What if Santa's lips get chapped?" Stinky Face asks. "What if the sack of toys starts to rip?" As always, Mama lovingly addresses each and every one of her child's concerns. Of course, Stinky Face leaves Santa lip balm and duct tape . . . just in case. "Cheerful, lighthearted images compound the humor readers will derive from Stinky Face's anxieties." --Horn Book Guide

A very nice story about sharing
On his way to the circus, Danny makes a new friend. The meeting leads up to an important decision. This tender story pulled at my heart strings as well. I'm sure it brought tears to my eyes the first time I read it. Lively illustrations accompany the tender story. Definitely a must for any little boy or girl's bookshelf.

Love Is a Family

Modern Families
A beautiful and tender look into the "modern" structure of the family through the eyes of a child who realizes that a family doesn't require a particular "shape" or "number" to make it any more real. As a city librarian, I deeply appreciate an author sensitive enough to present a story capable of being read to ANY group of children without pushing political or "alternative lifestyles".

So wonderfully touching
A picture is worth thousand words. Reading the story can choke up the maturest of woman. But when you see the pictures next to the paragraphs, you could just stare at the images and truly feel you were there even if you never had an experience like this

I cry every time I read this darn book...
Call me sentimental, but there's something to this story that tugs at your heart strings every time you read it. And I've read this at least a dozen times. The story tells of the relationship between Ellie and her sitter Miss Maggie and of the very special birthday gift that Ellie gets for Maggie out of "pure love." The illustrations are quite beautiful and complement the story very well. A ...
