Wonderful old book for young children (and old)
My 20 year old daughter was just telling me the other day, she'd like to get a copy of this book to keep (ours is paperback and worn). She loved this book when she was little...I would read it over and over to her. It is one of her favorite childhood books. I'm buying one in hardback and sending it to her in college!

Perfect for wedding!
I originally found the text from this book while looking for the perfect ceremony readings for my Sept. '08 wedding. We decided the poem was a bit long for a reading--but I really wanted to incorporate it into the ceremony in some way. On an impulse I bought the book days before the wedding (thank you 2-day shipping!) and decided to use it as a guest book though I wasn't sure how that would ...

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

The Best Christmas Tale Ever!
Barbara Robinson has crafted a fantastic tale of the meaning of Christmas. In this 80 page book we come to fear and love the Herdmann clan, a gaggle of 6 kids that see the world their own way, and take it on in their own terms. They are just as likely to klonk a kid in the head as ignore them. They are the "closest thing to criminals that we knew." What does this have to do with Christmas? ...

Wonderful bedtime story
We received this book as a gift before my daughter was born and it quickly became one of our favorites. She is 2 now and asks for this story every night before bed. I think it should be part of every little one's collection.

Add this to your personal library to counter what is probably already in your child's public library.
This is a beautiful story that parents should consider repeatedly sharing with their children for them to cherish, now more than ever... Having just attended an introductory master of library and information sciences course where the discussion about children's books centered around the ethics of circumventing parental authority in dispensing gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender-queer books ...

This is without a doubt my favorite Christmas story every. I read it to my class, who were starting to become non-believers, and now they believe again. The magic is back.

Amazing!
This is the best pop up book I've ever seen. My small children are completely dazzled by the pictures, and I am too, actually. I've given this book as a gift multiple times and it's always a big hit for the whole family.

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

A Christmas Favorite That Stands The Test Of Time
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS!, by the incomparable Theodor Geisel - aka Dr. Seuss, is a true Christmas classic. It is a story of hope, faith, and epiphany, and of discovering the true meaning of Christmas. Who else but Seuss could tell such a story so entertainingly, in so few words, and all in rhyme? That grumpy old Grinch thought Christmas was about presents... and food and decorations ...

Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener........
I've always been a sucker for the underdogs in life. This book is about a sweet one who in the end teaches us about the real meaning of friendship. I've learned never to judge a book by its cover. This may look like a typical silly book with no thought behind it, but it's so much more! You see, it's about Oscar the dachshund (or as my kids call it - a wiener dog) who just wants to fit in with ...

One tree, many trees
When Mr. Willowby's Christmas tree arrives at his mansion, and is just a tiny bit too tall, there is only one solution: to cut off the top! But, Mr. Willowby realizes that the cut-off-top would make the perfect Christmas tree for his maid. The grateful maid soon realizes that the tree is a tad too big for her room, so she chops off the top and tosses it. But, the top is discovered... and so ...

Beautiful Illustrations for a Classic Story
If you are looking for a copy of "The Night Before Christmas" for your home, THIS IS THE ONE. My husband and I gave this to our son on his first Christmas and we have read it year-round ever since. He loves the bright, interesting pictures and is always finding new little things to point out. The classic rhyming story will grab any kids attention and becomes a nice part of the Christmas ...

I purchased this as a gift for my son who was captivated by the Santa Claus trivia. It covers the answers to all the traditional questions and more. The artwork is wonderful. I plan to purchase additional copies.

Best Book Ever
This is by far our sons favorite book. In fact, this is our favorite book to read our son! The pictures are great and the text is even better. We bought this while in London as a gift for our son, and it is so cute. The length is perfect for our 3 1/2 year old. It holds his interest well and he requests it nightly!

HUMEROUS TALE OF A WITCH AND A GROUP OF SMART PIGGIES
I have to admit that this is one of those books that I probably get more of a kick out of than even the children do. Not only is the story absolutely hilarious, but the art work sort of tickles my fancy. It is good and it is just quirky enough to make it not only funny, but interesting. This is a perfect read aloud book for a group of children. Gritch the Witch woke up in her usually grouchy, ...

All time favorite
"The Country Bunny" was a favorite for me as a child, my children enjoyed it and now I am buying a copy for all my grandkids. The art is old fashioned, but the message is ageless. It's the old story that if you really want to do something you can find a way. Mother bunny was a great organizer, feminist and accomplished much, but it was her caring about others that helped her succeed in the ...

A Must for AW fans
Anyone who watched this soap will enjoy this book. Since this soap was taken from us on the 35th anniversary, this book has even more meaning. You will get to relive the highlights and story lines now missing from our daily lives. I get mine out about every 6 months - or whenever I need a Bay City fix. Looking through the book always manages to bring tears or laughter to me.
