Its important to understand that William Shawcross has written an authorized or official biography of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. That means, as Shawcross states in his Introduction, that he was invited by Queen Elizabeth II to write her mother's life.

Great for 5 and up!
Bought this book for my 5 year old grandaughter and she just loved it! Kept her busy in the car for quite a while! Had a little problem with the square stickers because you have to be able to read where they go...

Septimus Heap, Book Three: Physik

Katherine Tegen Books, 2008

Not as splendid as the others, but great!
It was a good book...not great, but good. The breaking of the mirror at just the crucial moment was a little weak. No, a lot weak. It was totally unrealistic. But it did lead to another adventure, and it's name is Queste!

Le Petit Prince
The book was received earlier than expected delivery and the quality of the book is excellent (it's like new or never been used or read). Very satisfied.

Princess & the Kiss: A Story of God's Gift of Purity

Warner Press, 2000

Amazing Book!
Just bought this book, and received it yesterday. My daughter, who is 4, has literally not put it down. As a Christian in today's society it's so hard to instill the values and morals in our children that we so dearly value. Books like this are clearly a Godsend and I cannot even begin to describe how amazing this book is. From the beautiful scrolly writing to the vivid pictures, God's ...

High Society: The Life of Grace Kelly

Donald Spoto

Harmony, 2009

The Virgin Queen
According to this book Princess Grace was the virgin Queen of Hollywood! No sex with Gary Cooper, no Clark Gable and most unbelievable no Bing Crosby!!! I think Mr. Spoto is a little too close to his subject and wants to defend her reputation! Nothing about any affairs after her marriage to Prince Rainer. The best bits in the book are the parts that deal with Hollywood and her film career (her ...

The Paper Bag Princess (Classic Munsch)

Robert N. Munsch

Annick Press, 1992

Empowering Fairytale
I was first exposed to this book in my Elementary Teaching Language Arts Class. We used it as a Reader's Theatre piece. I love that this book is a definite reversal of strong characters. The princess emerges as the strong heroine that is true to herself. I think it is inspirational for all the "real" princesses out there. I would love to see more books in this category that show strong women ...

Rising Moon, 2003

Hiking Grandma loves this book
What a perfect title and wonderful illustrations! Our 2 year old grandaughter loves this book and we do, too. Couldn't fit better for a little girl who likes gowns and also likes to hike trails with her Grandma and Grandpa. Thank you Ms. Coyle, for such a clever book.

Angie Sage

Katherine Tegen Books, 2007

Great Series
I loved this entire series. Septimus Heap is a very lovable and noble character. He is written as curious, intellegent and lovable; as all little boys should be written when confronted with magical talent. This grandmother would recommend to all ages.

Disney Press, 2004

Great entertainment for the car
My 3 year old loves this. We keep it in the car and she it totally entertained. Sometimes I have to ask over and over for her to get out of the car because she is so enthralled with it. My only complaint is that some of the stickers are hard to get off the page they came on to the point that my husband has given up trying to help her peel the new stickers off and just refers to me with the ...

Angie Sage

Katherine Tegen Books, 2006

Great book! Note to conscientious parents: (spoiler)
I really enjoyed this book. It is engrossing and imaginative. The characters are endearing and the plot is interesting. (Spoilers coming) I have to admit it is kind of Harry Potterish: seemingly unimportant boy discovers that he has `majyk' etc. and a seemingly unimportant girl discovers she is actually a queen. But I like rags to riches stories so I am okay with that. Parents may want to know ...

The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins (Classic Seuss)

Dr. Seuss

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1989

A Classic
I'd been searching for this book to read to my 2 year-old son. I remember just loving it and was sure he would. He does. It's just delightful to hear his astonishment every time another hat appears on Bartholomew's head. It's a must read for children of all ages.

Hadrian and the Triumph of Rome

Anthony Everitt

Random House, 2009

Hadrian Finally Gets the Biography He's Been Sorely Lacking
Hadrian is an emperor who seems to slip through the cracks. Most people remember him as 'that guy who built the wall.' There aren't many biographies on the man and none of the ones that I know of are very good at revealing his personality. His best representation comes through fiction with the popular book Memoirs of Hadrian, so it's nice to see someone finally try to capture the man. Everitt's ...
