Aladdin, 2004
A Fantastic Dark Fantasy Story
I first this book when I was about 12, and it remains on my shelf to this day (I'm now 35.) I highly recommend it for kids who enjoy fantasy books. Yes, it's dark and has genuinely creepy moments in it--but I see no reason that should discourage young readers or their parents, as it's an extremely engaging tale of a little girl battling the forces of evil. Resourceful girl characters are in ...

Babies and Girls.. and a Island too!
Great fun! As a young girl, I read this book over and over. Loved it! Magical. Shipwrecked on an Island with babies in their care - the girls in this story have an adventure. I was so jealous! I loved babies, still do! This book was dreamy fun. The author, Carol R. Brink, also wrote "The Pink Motel," my other fav in the 5th grade. Have them both, and will treasure them forever. All my ...

The Best Halloween book for preschoolers out there!
Big Pumpkin is so Big in our house, it's read all the time...Oh and our son loves it too! Once my son (4 years old) discovered and fell in love with Big Pumpkin it didn't matter if it was Halloween or not. The story is nothing short of hilarious, the illustrations could not be better suited and truly compliment this book where so many others fall short. My husband and I get such a kick out of ...

Aladdin, 2003
Great Classic Book
My 3 year old son loves this book. When we go for a walk around the neighborhood, he wants to pretend that we are going on a "bear hunt" and we recite the book. Great book for imagination.
The Lost City of Faar (Pendragon Series #2)

Aladdin, 2003
Lost in the book
This second book is a real charmer. With a little bit of everything, D.J. Machale reaches inside the readers emotionaly. He makes fantasies come to life inside these wondrous pages.

Read this book!
What can I say? I've read all the Pendragon books and I love them all. But this book is my favorite. I love Saangi's cocky attitude and Loor's jokes. To me there is no competition, this is my favorite book.
Ordinary Princess

M.M. Kaye's The Ordinary Princess: Ordinary and Fantastic in Delightful Harmony
One may know the story of the servant girl who gets to go to the ball, the story of the beautiful girl that falls in love with the beast, the princess that is finally awakened by a kiss from a dashing prince. But, it is quite possible that one may go half of her life before ever hearing the story of another girl, a princess in fact, who was born once upon a time in a land called Phantasmorania. ...
KING OF THE WIND (Marguerite Henry Horseshoe Library)

Marguerite Henry
Aladdin, 1995
Late Childhood Should Always Include Books This Special
The Christmas I was nine, I got a boxed set of Marguerite Henry novels and while I loved all of them and read them day and night during the break from school, I think this one goes down as my favorite. A few years after I first read this novel, my family moved and I discovered it was also, by a nice coincidence, one of the favorite books of a girl I met in our new neighborhood, who went on to be ...
Hippos Go Berserk!

Aladdin, 1996
Fun book you'll actually like reading out loud!
This book is fun reading that will entertain you as well as the kid. It's quick, easy reading, but has lots of pages so that the story doesn't end right away. I baby-sat an 18-month old toddler who loves books, and I didn't mind at all reading and re-reading this one. The words flow well, and I didn't feel awkward reading aloud the way I do with some other books. I will definitely buy this ...
Sunwing

Kenneth Oppel
Aladdin, 2008
One of the BEST books I've ever read
Sunwing was one of the BEST books I've EVER read! It has lots of fiction in it but, it also has a large amount of true facts in it also. I truly reomend this book. And it has a bunch of action and adventure in it. And I think people who like animals such as, bats, mice, owls etc. will LOVE this book completley. Jacob Milette
Jimmy Zangwow's Out-of-This-World Moon-Pie Adventure
29 reviews
Aladdin, 2003
Out of this world!
This incredibly charming book has fabulous illustrations that will remind some of a 1950s kids book BUT kids won't find it old-fashioned at all! It is a fabulous journey w/ Jimmy Zangwow. I've given it for birthday presents... complete w/ a box of Moon pies from Cracker Barrel. My three year old little girl adores it... as does her 8 year boy cousin! Don't miss it!

The Adventure Continues...YESTERDAY!
D. J. MacHale wrote for television for years before turning his attention to novels. He created ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?, a long-running series on Nickelodeon in the United States, but it also showed in Canada on YTV and Cinar. For the last few years, he's been writing the adventures of Bobby Pendragon, a boy who's destined - hopefully - to save the world. Several worlds, actually. Bobby ...

My Kids Love This Book and CD
My kids are two and one and they LOVE this book. It has such a catchy tune and they really enjoy singing along with the CD. It also introduces them to words they ordinarily wouldn't use, such as thyphoid, pneumonia, and colic! I bought three more copies for friends and their school! We have most of John Lithgow's kids' books and this is our favorite by far.
Black Water (Pendragon, Book 5)

D.J. MacHale
Aladdin, 2004
best one yet
The first time I started reading "The Merchant of death," I loved it. I thought how could it get much better than this. Well, it just did. Black Water is the most "Spiff" book yet. When Bobby Gets to Eelong, he is instantly engulfed in exciting adventures and risks being eaten and killed in pretty much any way you could imagine all to stop Saint Daine from sending the territory in to chaos. This ...

Aladdin, 2007
A Great Book
I'm a nine year old boy from NY. This book is funny and serious, too. This boy Greg wants to make lots of money while copycats try to steal his ideas. He makes money by selling little chunky comics. I recommend this book to everyone. WB
The Folk Keeper (Jean Karl Books)
27 reviews
Franny Billingsley
Aladdin, 2001
The Perfect Book
I know there are a lot of books about girls pretending to be boys ( like the books by Tamora Pierce), but this one blows them all away, until only The Folk Keeper stands in all its glory on a podium made of gold. Now, I did not think I would ever read a perfect fantasy book. Either the character is not fully developed or the writing style is boring/cheesy or it is bogged down with ...
Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin (Aladdin Picture Books)

Lloyd Moss

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.

Ageless, timeless, classic adventure!
I remember this book from the dentist's office as a child and rediscovered it as a teacher. I have used it at the beginning of the year in all grades Kindergarten through fourth grade and they ALL love it. For the little ones they just want to hear it over and over and even memorize what happens next. Also, they love the sharks, tigers, and especially the haystack with the pitchfork. Third ...
