Pleasant Surprise
Not only was the book very pleasing to the eyes, it held my full attention to keep reading non-stop! Fascinating information about the spiritual level of these beautiful birds was also revealed. WOW! Much kudos and thanks to the AUTHOR for enlightening me.

How the Grinch stole Christmas (Children's braille book club)

87 reviews
Seuss

National Braille Press, 1988

the best children's book EVER !!!
How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic tale about greed, materialism, and the kindness of man for his fellow man all wrapped up in one great big package! The illustrations are wonderful and the rhyming text impresses me. This is a story by Dr. Seuss that is so popular it was made into a Christmastime TV special; and it deserves every bit of recognition that it gets. (Note: this story is ...

Richard Paul Evans

Simon & Schuster, 1998

Excellent story!
This was an excellent book! It wasn't just a typical romance, instead, it focused on what comes after falling in love. Devotion, kindness, and respect were themes in this novel. It was well-written, and kept my attention until the end.

Clement Clarke Moore

Little Simon, 2002

Robert Sabuda is a genius!!!
I love this pop-up book and have given many copies as gifts to special people. I recently bought another one to give to a very special family this coming Christmas. I treasure all of Robert Sabuda's special books. I also buy his pop-up Christmas cards and all-occasion cards.

Finding Noel (Unabridged)

Richard Paul Evans

The Real Story
The irony of fictional writing is that it works best when it comes from a real place. According to author Richard Paul Evans, the background story of his novel "Finding Noel," is drawn from the real-life story of Celeste Edmunds, a woman with whom he used to work. As with his previous books, this is a personal work for Evans; he uses family names, origins, religion, illness and little ...

Island Books, 2001

A Christmas to Remember
Dr. Werner von Braun once said, "Matters of faith are not really accessible to our rational thinking. I find it best not to ask any questions, but to just believe..." These words are truly conveyed throughout the second of Homer Hickam Jr.'s memoirs, The Coalwood Way, originally published in 2000. Although following his acclaimed, Rocket Boys, this compelling story does not continue where the ...

Best Christmas Pagaent Ever
I purchased this book simply to replace my original copy, which I loaned out and which was never returned. Reading this book has been a favorite part of my Christmas for many years. While I regret losing my old copy, I am thankful I will now be able to carry on this tradition.

Red Ranger Came Calling

Berkeley Breathed

Little, Brown Young Readers, 1997

My Ultimate Christmas Story
The Red Ranger Came Calling has overtaken every other book, even my now #2 pick How The Grinch Stole Christmas, as my "must-tell" Christmas story. I am not able to read it aloud without tearing up at some point, curiously not always at the SAME point in the story. This is a tall tale, more accurately the re-telling of a tall tale, and it's poignant message to remember to "look up" when seeking ...

Laura Joffe Numeroff

HarperFestival, 2000

If You Give a Child This Book...You Will Have Hours of Fun Together
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a modern classic, beloved by children everywhere. It is also a book that teaches about sequential action and consequence. For example, if you give a mouse a cookie, he is going to ask for a glass of milk. If you give him a glass of milk, he will probably ask for straw. As the book continues, the drink leads to a napkin, which leads to a mirror (to check for a ...

Christmas Gifts, Christmas Voices (The Eric Sanders Saga)

John S Allen

Echo Canyon Books, 1996

More than just a Christmas book
Why would my friend give me a Christmas book when it wasn't Christmas? Why? She knew that I had just suffered a devastating loss. And she explained that "Christmas Gifts, Christmas Voices" was more than a holiday novel...it was a parable that showed how service and thinking of others ultimately brings peace after a loss. The other book my dear friend gave me had a less perplexing ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2002

Sew inspired
I bought this book for my daughter and she has taken to sewing extremely fast. She's so proud of what she makes. Her enthusiasm for sewing now is almost too much for me to keep up with. This book was was easy for her to understand and the illustrations were very clear. She's been playing around with reconstructing her clothes so I'm thinking of getting her the Rip It book as well. I'm happy to ...

Robert Barry

Bt Bound, 1999

Charming, endearing, and timeless!
This has always been my favorite Christmas Book (just edging out "A Charlie Brown Christmas" by a glowing-red nose!). I'm happy to say that I own an original first printing of both books, but it's "Willowby" that I continue to purchase, year after year, for my friends and their children. The charm of this story lies in the "one person's discards are another person's treasures" category. The ...

Jan Brett Night Before Christmas
I LOVE Jan Brett's books! I buy them anytime I see them whether on sale, old ones on Amazon as remainders, or new.. They make great gifts. I have a backup of many to give to children, particularly my granddaughters. The illustrations in this one are so beautiful it is really a keepsake to save as well as enjoy. Give it as a gift and you will make some child very happy and a parent happy,too.

Really good book, but sorta werid...
I loved this book, just like all the other ones, but it was really weird how they had all this stuff that was a dream and never really happened! It sorta gives you a fake idea of what will come. But dont get me wrong I loved the book and the story line was really cool. I absolutly love Jazz Godess! She was like almost one of those perfect horses! Except when she crushed Christinas leg, but ...
