Nap time FAVORITE
We love this book! It is an absolute favorite earning repeat reading requests from my 2 boys. We have read it so many times we can recite the words! Makes a terrific gift for friends ages 2-6yrs.

My Life and Death by Alexandra Canarsie

6 reviews
Susan Heyboer O'Keefe, 2008

A great read to keep you turning pages as fast as you can
This is a great read for middle-graders on up. Smart-mouthed but insecure Allie puts on a good self-defense act and alienates herself from family and those who might become friends. Her obsession with funerals (of people she doesn't know) and trying to unravel the mystery of what or who really killed Jimmy Muller will keep you turning pages as fast as you can read.

a true blessing
Since recieving this book as a wonderful gift for my daughter, my night time ritual has changed dramatically. My daughter Elaina, now 7 has slept with me since 3 months old. I know my fault! Since June 2001 I have been trying everything I could think of to get her to sleep in her own room without making her feel rejected or like she did something wrong that now its no longer ok to sleep with ...

Scary Parents, Scarier Teacher and a Cute Little Slour Sack

But he first has to pass the 8th grade and unfurtunately for him his kooky Mom wants Him to be a dream anylist, his calculator Dad wants him to be an acountant and his teacher just wants him to fail! And poor ...

One Hungry Monster

Scholastic, 1989

Boys go Bananas!
Monsters and 5-year-old boys and addictive poetry that you'll recite for months from memory -- what a great combination. The monsters throw food, hang from chandaliers, paint their mouths with peanut butter, put spaghetti on their heads (and more!) which are all things my child attempts on occasion. Then the boy in the book gets mad and yells at them (like me, the parent) and then the monsters ...

An Outstanding Picture Book For Young Children
This is a lovely, sensitive book with exquisite rhyme and illustrations. Parents will enjoy reading it to their children almost as much as the children will love hearing it over and over again.

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2001

Excellent Read for Mom & Sons
Me and my 2 1/2 year old boy just LOVED this book. He is very much into numbers and has been counting for a few months, so I got this book for him. It's one of the few books he sits for through the whole story. He especially loves the page for "four" ;). It is also good for his older brother, who is in kindergarden and learning how to read / spell the number words.

Matters both small and big are covered, from having one's first rosary, to being hugged by a love so immense, it embraces the world. Just ...

Angel Prayers: Prayers for All Children

Boyds Mills Press, 1999

Angel Prayers
This is a charming little book suitable for all children but particularly those who come from mixed faith backgrounds. It has a genuinely spiritual context without emphasising a particular religion. The illustrations are boldly colored and adults who like pastel water colors may find them garish but my grandchildren loved them.

Christmas Gifts

Boyds Mills Press, 2004

Tight Rhymes, A Sense of Calm
Large print, greatly detailed pictures, rhyming progress of the text lends anticipationg and structure to the often "gimme" oriented Christmas preparations. This would be a good one to read in Sunday School to kids in elementary school to remind them that Christmas is about love and family, togetherness and the gifts of love, not the gifts from WalMart.
