Sturdy and Engaging with a Fun Twist
Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby This is a wonderfully designed book. The touchable ladybugs make it engaging for toddlers, while preschoolers will appreciate the clever story. At first it seems like the book has a dark side - with various creatures gobbling up the ladybugs - but the sweet twist ending shows all the ladybugs are safe after all. I have two ...

Great copy of unabridged Count of Monte Cristo
We only recently found out that all our copies of The Count of Monte Cristo were abridged. We checked this out of our local library and liked it so much we bought a copy for our home library. The type setting is very readable and best of all, it's not abridged. The story is a classic and a great read. I recommend it for everyone.

Love This Book!
This is my 4 y.o.'s favorite book. We had read it to her so many times that she has memorized it. She can name every instrument and tells me which ones she likes the best. A plus plus.

Finding the Answers by Kaitlyn Nielson
Amy is trying to find the answers to a twisted mystery in her life. I loved this book, it was probably the best, easy book, most adventurous book in the world. I've read the other books too and by far this is the best! Marilyn Kaye really knows how to write twisted and suspenseful children's mysteries. I would recommend this book to 10-12 year old girls who enjoy mysteries and adventure. If you ...

After the Camps
What I enjoyed most about Alter's book is his vivid descriptions of life after being liberated. One doesn't read or hear much about the immediate aftermath for the displaced persons, particularly the European Jews who continued to experience persecution from countrymen and, sadly, former neighbors. Alter's post-war odyssey from DP camp to locations throughout Europe hit the reader in the gut as ...

Excellent diction, hilarious pictures, fun for adults
Disclaimer: my wife used to work for the publisher (we got it free along with every other new release). This was by far the most fun of any of them. We bought several extra copies for gifts to friends. Great book to read to pre-readers. Too many complex and unusual words for learning to read. The pull out fun (and wagging tails) are made of many layers of cardboard, so it lasts a ...

Great way to put those brain cells through their paces again
While I always enjoyed math and science, I didn't particularly have time to "enjoy" the process of learning, thanks to our wonderful public school system, which focuses kids on getting a passing grade instead of actually learning something. This book is a wonderful cure for the apathy towards learning that is so prevalent today. "Mathematics" is a great refresher and a good starting point for ...
Hippos Go Berserk

One of the better Boynton books
Boynton books have really been hit or miss with my daughter - and us parents who must read them. Hippos go Berserk is one of the better ones. The rhyming and counting keep the pace moving. It's no "Red Hat Green Hat" in the eyes of my daughter, but much better than some of the alternatives.

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.

Excellent
I used to say that it was pointless to try to study the Bible without Hebrew - that it was impossible to "feel" the text, to get the humor, the irony, the poetry. Not anymore. This is a must for any student of the Bible, as it captures the liveliness and strangeness of the original and expose it as the allusive, alliterative, jabberwocky text that it is. Hebrew is best, but this is, finally, ...

Beautiful Artwork
This book has some of the most beautiful artwork you will ever see in a children's book. My 17 month old took a few tries to warm up to the story, and it still isn't a favorite of hers. A lot of times we will just sit and look at the pretty pictures.

Amazing!
The Water Hole is an amazing book. The illustrations are pieces of art and the message is one of great importance. If you love wildlife and animals, this is a book for you. My daughters love looking for the hidden animals in each picture. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my daughters, but I think I purchased it more for myself.

Numbers Junkies
This book proclaims that Yankee fans are "numbers junkies" because they boast 26 World Series titles and a host of other prominent numbers that are important not only to NYY history, but to baseball history in general -- and I happen to agree with the authors. I'm a baseball fan who tolerates NY most of the time, but I found this book to be very entertaining and the numbers, stories, and profiles ...
