books by Houghton Mifflin (Juv)     books:       Curious George Goes to a Costume Party5 reviews Margret Rey Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1986 Typical Curious Fun! At first I was a little suspicious about this book, "illustrated in the style of H.A.Rey by Martha Weston." I didn't want anybody messing with my dearly loved friend, Curious George! I am glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This book tells the Halloween adventures of our curious little pal, as he and the man with the yellow hat go to a costume party. At first, George finds it a bit ...             Q Is for Duck: An Alphabet Guessing Game8 reviews Mary Elting, Michael Folsom Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1980 Imagination, Need I say More? I did a story hour project for my Children's Literature class and this is one of the books I read to them. They really enjoyed it because it kept them guessing what the letters stood for. This book helps the child to expand their imagination because this book is not the usual alphabet books that says "A is for Apple". This book expands that horizon by incorporating the sounds the animals ...             The Wind in the Willows126 reviews Houghton Mifflin Co (Juv), 1991 DVD Wind in the Willow/The Willows in Winter This has to be my all time favorite DVD far better than other productions of this I have viewed. Absolutely delightful to watch for people of all ages - it's a keeper that you can watch over and again!             Curious George and the Dump Truck6 reviews Margret Rey Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1984 Great new story After reading the original 5 or 6 Curious George stories to my 2 year old son about a hundred times, it is refreshing to see some new adventures. We just picked up this book today after going to the dump and my son just loves it. The spirit of the original stories is still there while the artwork is slightly more crisp and detailed. I look forward to reading the other new stories!             The Polar Express: Gift Set1 review William Hurt, Chris Van Allsburg Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1989 A family treasure This book is a keepsake for our family. It is given extra care due to the quality of the story and book. The pictures are large, beautiful and unique. The art work was what first caught my attention. It is a wonderful Christmas story, but we read it throughout the year. I think it is an extra special story for boys. My 5 year old son loves this book.             Eight Ate a Feast of Homonym Riddles5 reviews Marvin Terban Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1982 Good Addition to the Library of the Young Reader "Eight Ate" by Marvin Terban. Illustrated by Giulio Maestro. Sub-titled, "A Feast of Homonym Riddles". Clarion Books, 1982. This book plays on the wealth of homonyms (words which sound alike but mean different things) in the English language. First, a question, (i.e. a riddle) is asked, and then the answer, dependent upon a homonym, is given. For example, on the back cover, the riddle is: ...             The Samurai's Tale57 reviews Erik Christian Haugaard Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1984 A novel that kids love! I bought this for Alice, a 6-grader because she needs it for her homework. It turns out to be a very good and fascinating novel and Alice loves to read it. Gang Chen, Author of "LEED AP Exam Guide" & "Planting Design Illustrated." LEED AP, AIA             Curious George39 reviews H. A. Rey Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 2001 Still Curious After All These Years My young daughter recently received a copy of Curious George for 3rd birthday, and we have been reading at least once a day ever since. Of course, George is a monkey, but he is also an allegory for all children everywhere. My daughter clearly sees herself in George (as do I!). At the page where George is playing with the telephone and accidentally calls the fire department, she said, "See ...             Martha Speaks18 reviews Susan Meddaugh Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 2008 Good book for kids At first I thought this was a good book, and was going to give it five stars, but then there was a big SHUT UP which wasn't really appropriate. And then there was a burglar which might be scary for kids, but it also taught you to dial 911 if something bad like the burgler happens, and it showed that Martha felt bad after her family yelled SHUT UP to her, so it kind of taught you not to yell SHUT ...             Cat in the Hat Comes Back41 reviews Dr. Seuss Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1969 Dr. Suess at his best ! Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby As a child, I liked The Cat in the Hat Comes Back better than the original. Now my 4-year-old son agrees. He can't get enough of this absurd tale of a bathtub ring that ends up all over the house and yard. The story's imagination is breathtaking, as the cat in the hat reveals 26 more cats in hats atop his head. There's educational value, ...             I Never Wanted to Be Famous2 reviews Eth Clifford Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1986 I Never Wanted to be Famous I think this book is great! I read it for a book project on any book! It is about a boy who never really wanted to be famous or popular, but his mom does. He ends up saving a baby and then he saves people and animals more and more. He is a hero in Four Corners and now it is starting to spread around. Now he gets all the attention and he hates it. I think it is for all ages. Every time you ...             The Sherwood Ring29 reviews Elizabeth Marie Pope Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1948 On my shelf of treasures It's been more than 40 years since I first read The Sherwood Ring, and it remains one of my very favorite books. I reread it often, but I think of it even more often, as my New England neighborhood is full of colonial-era houses, paths through overgrown woods, and little lakes like those in the story. I'm not sure why this book works so well. The characters are well-drawn but not so terribly ...             The Half-Birthday Party1 review Charlotte Pomerantz Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1984 great teaching tool! As a kindergarten teacher, I discovered this book to use in my math lesson for teaching the concept of "half". Every time I use this book, the children have a good understanding of what "half" is by the time the reading is finished. A great story with a cozy family and a great teaching tool!             Eli4 reviews Bill Peet Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1978 Great book. My 8 year old daughter has just discovered Bill Peet books and she loves them. She loves to read, but these are the first books that she has expressed an interest in keeping and collecting. She has even asked for his autobiography! Bill Peet has brought a light and an excitement for reading that is wonderful to see! Not only are his books entertaining, but they have a moral to the story ...             Ella4 reviews Bill Peet Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1964 Excellent! I can't believe no one has reviewed this book yet. I was flipping through the Bill Peat collection just because Christmas is drawing near and these books made such a huge impact on my childhood I wanted to now share them with my son. Ella is the classic tale of the underdog making good in the end and I would HIGHLY recommend it (or ANY Bill Peat book) for anyone who enjoys sharing stories of ...             The Trojan War11 reviews Olivia E. Coolidge Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1952 A 6-year old's review This is a very good book because of its intense atmosphere and it is very exciting. Some of the main characters are Achilles, Hector, Helen and Paris. Helen loved Paris and ran away with him from her original husband. She was the most beautiful woman in the world which is why the Greeks and Trojans fought over her. The outcome is that the Greeks won. They won by killing all the Trojan ...             You Can't Catch Me! Joanne Oppenheim Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1986 A pesky black fly taunts all the animals, boasting that they cannot catch him, until he bothers one animal too many.             Capyboppy7 reviews Bill Peet Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1966 He's One of the Family Capy's got feelings. He's a ham. He knows how to have fun. He loves the other members of the family. The cats think he's a giant mouse and he takes advantage. When he grows up the family is faced with a dilemma. It's a charming story and the illustrations are delightful. My 6 year old daughter laughs with every page no matter how many times we read it. A sure hit with any kid who loves ...             World of Wonders: A Trip Through Numbers Eileen Doolittle Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1991 A counting book with detailed photographs for each number from one to twelve, depicting a multitude of subjects commonly associated with each number.             Curious George Goes Fishing2 reviews Margret Rey Houghton Mifflin (Juv), 1987 A Wonderful Little Book! I purchased this little book as a companion gift to the Paz - Ready Set Learn fishing kit. I was surprised that it has a cardboard cover and pages. It's a very durable little book w/great illustrations. Our 3 yr old neighbor is thrilled w/it!              search for books alphabet, birthday, capyboppy, catch, costume, curious, express, famous, feast, fishing, george, guessing, half-birthday, homonym, martha, never, numbers, party, polar, riddles, samurai, sherwood, speaks, through, trojan, truck, wanted, willows, wonders, world books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
