I Have To Go! (Classic Munsch)13 reviews
Robert N. Munsch
Annick Press, 1989
No! No! No!
+ Excellent Service
+ Another great Munsch
Andrew's parents ask him frequently if he needs to "Pee." He always says, "No!" But, a few minutes later the answer is "Yes, right now!" We liked this book because of it's realism. It is a typical problem for moms and dads of preschoolers. This book has a similar twist to his other books. The ...

Oldsters Only?
+ Frighteningly Good!!
I'm in high school now, and my interest in things like the banning of books caused me to research the most COMMONLY banned or challenged books. I was shocked to see 'Halloween ABC' on the list. I remembered the book, so I checked around to make sure it was the same one. Coming across this ...

As a mother and a teacher, I am always looking for quality books to read to my fourth graders as well as my 3 year old daughter. Although I would never be able to read In the Night Kitchen to my class (parent complaints and such), it didn't take long for my little girl to fall in love with this ...

Cujo (Signet)259 reviews
Stephen King
Signet, 1982
Cujo
+ Good Book
Cujo, to me, harkens back to the time when Stephen King's writing was wilder, back then when unbridled classics such as Firestarter and The Stand were still new to the bookstores. Cujo represented a time for me when Stephen would usually put predestrian characters into extraordinary situations and ...

Alyson Books, 2000
Two Mommies
+ Heather has Two Mommies
+ A wonderful book
It is a good book. It would be nice if it had colours and was not only black and white but still one should definitely buy it. It is important to grow our children whether the parents are gay or not with the open mind that one needs to be a human being.

I picked up Lady Chatterley's Lover (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Barnes & Noble Classics) from Amazon for $6.95. In the absence of an available Everyman's Cloth Edition, the B&N is likely the way to go. In terms of supplemental material it is quite comparable to this: (Lady Chatterley's ...
