Fancy Nancy Book is Terrific
Thanks so much. The book is in great condition, it arrived the day before I had to drive out of state to take it to my granddaughter and she just loves it.

Caps for Sale Big Book (Reading Rainbow Book)

70 reviews

HarperTrophy, 1996

Me and my 2.5 year old son love this book
This is a great book for kids, even young ones around 2.5 years old. It's an engaging story and my son loves the part where the man wakes up to find his hats gone, and looks up and sees all the monkeys wearing the hats! He asks me to read it everynight, and remembers the phrase "caps for sale."

I Teach My Creative Writing Students with this Book
I was introduced to Ralph Fletcher's A Writer's Notebook this during the Coastal Area Writing Project, Coastal Carolina University, Janet Files. This "project" is an intensive, 4 week writing "submersion" for teachers. We learn how to teach our students how to write. Really write. Not how to write an essay for test, but to write descriptively and passionately. I now use this great book, which ...

Fancy Nancy and the Boy from Paris (I Can Read Book 1)

Marvelous (fancy for great) & hilarious (fancy for so funny)!
Really enjoyed this one, possibly the best of Nancy for us (--this is our third Nancy-book). I was surprised to find the Nancy stories so enjoyable. Was pleasantly surprised too to find this as a reader, and it has great story. My girls both like these (& this one), my non-fancy Tom-boy and my girl who likes to tell me that she likes girly stuff and boys stuff too! "I like Efry-ding!"

The Important Book

Excellent introduction to metaphysics for toddlers
I really like this book, and my little boy does too. It is an excellent introduction to metaphysics for toddlers. It inspires tots to think about what is important, distinctive, or essential about different things. As a philosopher, I was amazed to find a book that actually tried to teach that--and appeared to do so as well as other books teach things like colors, numbers, and letters.

Thrilling.
Absolutely a wonderful read, suspenseful but action packed. A must read for all Warriors fans.

The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups
What a great book! My children enjoyed reading this book together, we all laughed out loud at the revelations of adults "Secret Knowledge!" Sure to delight grown-ups and children alike!

Jamberry

HarperTrophy, 1985

A favorite classic!
This book was a favorite with our first child 10 years ago, and we just bought another copy for our 1-yr.-old! I love the flowing, rhyming prose, and the illustrations allow for so much discussion and interaction. As with Dr. Suess books, I find myself repeating the words throughout the day (like when we're eating berries!) I definitely recommend this book!

Chrysanthemum Big Book

70 reviews

HarperTrophy, 2007

Another Kevin Henkes Miracle!
Adorable as ever :) I'm thinking I might use this for my children's lit paper, hey, why not? Love it just as much as I loved it when I read it years ago. The illustrations are still great (and snarky!), and the writing's just perfect, capturing the imaginations of both young and old. It's truly a tale of individuality for the ages.

Avi

HarperTrophy, 1997

Inspiring!
I loved this book from cover to cover and have read it multiple times. The writing is compelling and the characters interesting. I found the second part of the book to be my favorite. Charlotte finally breaks out of her shell and the story gets turned up a notch. I love all of the nautical terms and definitely learned a lot of new things about sailing while reading this book. I loved this ...

From Head to Toe Big Book

HarperTrophy, 2007

Great book!
My 18 month old son loves this book! He watched me do the movements as I read it and now he does them on his own when I read the book! Very cute and interactive.

Goodnight Moon
I got this as a gift. It is a precious story of a child resisting falling asleep to no avail.

The Little House Collection Box Set (Full Color) (Little House)

22 reviews
Laura Ingalls Wilder

HarperTrophy, 2004

beautiful set of first 5 books
These are handsome books - heavy stock paper, full color Garth Williams' illustrations, with Williams' illustrations on the cover (not the more modern real-life photos from other sets). This set, for some reason, only has the first 5 books, but the last 4 are available a la carte in the same nice full-color/heavy-stock/etc format. Not sure why they don't package all 9. This is a really nice ...

Deborah Heiligman

HarperTrophy, 1996

Great and informative
We bought this book to accompany the Butterfly Pavilion from amazon.com. This book was a little above her level of understanding, she is only 2 after all. She did get the gist of it. Great illustrations and concise.

The Grouchy Ladybug

Eric Carle

HarperTrophy, 1996

There is a great lesson here!
I love Eric Carle! His illustrations are wonderful and there is always a math or science lesson included in the text. This one helps children learn to tell time and explains how ladybugs are helpful to plants. I was shocked when I read some of the reviews that criticized this book. I am the mother of five and I know that you can't protect them forever. Don't get upset about the behavior of ...

Where the Wild Things Are

357 reviews

HarperTrophy, 1984

Terrible...roars, teeth, eyes, claws! Super fun for little boys!
Sometimes we just can't seem to settle down before bed. During those times, I reach for "Where the Wild Things Are" so that my two sons can roar their terrible roars and gnash their terrible teeth and roll their terrible eyes and show their terrible claws. The book is short -- perfect for bedtime reading -- and very interactive. The story follows Max and his wild imagination to a magical land. ...

Shortcut

14 reviews

HarperTrophy, 1996

high drama for young children!
One of the things I love about Shortcut is that it gives young children a chance to be scared/tense (like adults enjoying John Grisham or a suspenseful movie) in a way that isn't like to keep them awake later! I used to teach four-year-olds, and, if read with expression, this book keeps them on the edge of their seats! Donald Crews' relating of an actual childhood experience is powerful -- ...
