"Do you believe in things you can't explain?"
"Like things in fairy tales?" "No, child. I mean - that all the daily things we do, and all the things we can touch and see in this world, are only one part of what's there, and that there's another world all around us all the time that's mostly hidden from us." - the two Geneva Reades, herein "'A brig, [the Amaryllis] was, a big two-master. A beautiful thing to see. Your grandfather owned ...

In contrast to the kid's reviews ...
I am 40 now, but read this book when I was probably 7. I still remember it as one of my favorite books of childhood, and I was always a voracious reader as a child (I read less now due to the sad busy-ness of being an adult). The kids are saying that the book is predictable, but to me it was not. I was still of an age then where I believed that monsters were possible, and if all children ...

My favorite book
I love this book so much that it has taken me several tries to write a review. How perfect can a book be? Funny, mysterious, deep, intellectual, all in one title. A story about a young man finding himself, and a woman doing the same, with the supporting cast either having already done the work or just plain not interested. (And just like in real life, the people who have no interest in ...

Sing us a song, you're the pirate man
I was sitting at the children's reference desk the other day when a parent came up to me with a request. "I want a bedtime story to read to my daughter. Nothing cutesy or anything. Just some really nice tales to tell her before she goes to sleep. She's seven." Requests of this sort are a delight. You wait and hope for them. Not as many parents as I would like think to look for this kind of ...

Delightfully delicious!!
I recently purchased this book at a Scholastic Book Fair at my daughter's elementary school, not realizing that it was written in 1969 and it was a reissued edition with an updated and modern cover. While reading it, I just couldn't put it down, and thought that it was a newly written book...not that this little aside matters....but it was a wonderful read. The issues addressed in this book are ...

Too Much of a Good Thing.....
"Elsie's fairy godmother loved her very much and came by once in a while to see how things were going." She always meant well, but was a bit hard of hearing and sometimes got things wrong. One day she wasn't listening very carefully to Elsie's mama and papa, and that's when all the trouble started. Before anyone could stop her, she'd changed one perfectly nice Elsie into eight noisy Elsies, ...

Rhyme or Reason
I first checked Phoebe's Revolt out of the local library from a randomly selected basket of books my pre-schoolers chose. My boys loved the story so much that before we returned it to the library they had most of it memorized. Few children's books grab my attention enough to buy one copy, but Phoebe's Revolt contained so many elements I thought important to convey to children I immediately ...

Poetry for the Classroom
This book was a wonderful, feel good selection of poetry for young children. I am a teacher at Irving Elementry School, and I teach English to four classes of fourth graders. Usually it is a trying task to find suitable poetry for that age group. they have already grown out of Shel Silverstein, and they wanted something more mature. I asked a fellow teacher and he told me that this book was a ...

OUCH!! - an incredibly fun and beautiful book!
I picked this book up for my weekly volunteer read-to to a second grade class. The children loved it! They thought the story very unique ...the idea of the trip to the devil's house and his grandma was just silly and a hoot. The hero is confident and surprisingly smart. The pictures are wonderful. And of course, good triumphs over the wicked king in the end. The next week, when I returned, I ...

CHILDREN'S BOOK FOR CHILDREN OF AGES 4-100
Natalie Babbitt writes beautiful books, books with wit and charm and actually very original complex storylines that just sweep you away with their themes. They are very unusual themes, ones that people have never thought of before, and that's what makes them so interesting. I am 14 years old and I still love these short books, they are absolutely fantastic. This one being no exception.
