Where the Wild Things Are (Unabridged)

Imaginative and Amazing Illustrations
The illustrations in this book really caught my eye. My favorite one was when all the wild things were howling at the moon. I enjoyed how the text stretches over a few pages and keeps the reader interested.

Martin the Warrior

262 reviews
Brian Jacques, 2008

Swashbuckling legend
Throughout the Redwall books Martin has always been not only the founder of Redwall but a veritable figure of legend. This book finally tells his story. Like the series, it's a grand ol' adventure. However, I felt this one packed the most emotion--I dare to call this a tragedy. If you can put up with that, this is a fantastic and passionate read.

So to avoid a betrothal to a handsome and charming (but not particularly bright) prince, she runs away to become housekeeper for a dragon. As a dragon's princess, Cimorene gets the freedom to cook and clean and to organize ...

A little darker...
This is when the Harry Potter series starts to get a bit "darker". The ending will make you buy the next book. You will want to know what happends.

Dive deeper into Harry's personal life
Harry does have family! A "crazy" god-father that he is completely unaware of having until this book. A great mystery book in the series. It will have you wanting more!

The Neverending Story

Michael Ende

Dutton Juvenile, 1997

Beautiful Edition
Many reviewers have already given a synopsis of this fantastic story of a boy literally drawn into a book he is reading. So, I wanted to comment on this particular edition. I was hesitant to spend so much money on a book that has been in print for so long and is readily available in cheap paperback copies. However, this is a beautiful hardcover edition. Collectible quality. The dust ...

The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches (Keeper Martin's Tales Series, Book 1)

Robert Stanek

Reagent Press, 2002

Excellent, Beautifully Written and Wonderfully Illustrated!
About a year ago I decided to start reading 'The Kingdoms and the Elves' series because I had heard so much praise about them. When I read the first one, I was totally amazed and by the second one Robert Stanek was my new favorite author. In this opening volume, Stanek takes you into the unforgettable fantasy universe of Ruin Mist. Ruin Mist was once ruled by mighty dragons and titans, but ...

Ella Enchanted

HarperCollins, 1997

Book vs. Movie
There I was. Probably the only one in the movie theater above the age of thirteen, but I didn't care. It was my twenty-second birthday, and I was going to watch the movie I wanted to see - even if I was alone. It was my birthday gift to myself, watching Ella Enchanted. I was interested in this movie, even though it was directed toward the average age of ten, because I had read the book at ...

The Goose Girl

Shannon Hale

Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2005

I <3ed dis BOOK!!!!!!!
Goose Girl by Shannon Hall is like a realistic fairytale. Sure, it has its share of magic, but everything just feels so possible and there is such a struggle for finding one's place. Princess Anidora is such an inspiring character because her problems don't just solve themselves and she needs the help of others. Ani, also known as Isi, is someone that you want to sympathize with because to be ...

Robert Stanek

Reagent Press, 2002

Return to the Kingdoms of men where legends and heroes are born
Reviewers who call Robert Stanek "America's Tolkien" are right on. Reviewers who call this series "the Narnia and Rings of our time" are right on too. It is rare to find an author who can write successfully across genres and age groups, and Robert Stanek is one such author. His books always have solid writing, good pacing, strong plotting, and great characters. The Kingdoms and the Elves of ...

Mattimeo (Tale of Redwall)

215 reviews
Brian Jacques

Red Fox, 2006

EXCELLENT! 10/10!
This is either the best or the second best Redwall book. It's the direct sequel to the Original Redwall, so there will be a lot of familier characters. Complete with 3 huge battles, a cruel monster that lurks in the dark, and an evil slaver named Slager, this book is ultimate, and I highly reccomend it!

The Little Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Harcourt, 1993

Little Prince speaks to the child in me
I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the ...

How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? (Unabridged)

Buy this book in hardcover, not as a board book!
We got a couple of books in the Dinosaurs series as board books from my coworker, and overall my daughter (22 months at the time of this review) liked them, but the hardcovers are simply gorgeous with large, detailed and brilliant pictures. I got this book in the library, and Anna wanted to read it several times in a row (not to mention every night since then). I plan to assemble the whole series ...

Christopher Pike

Tor Books, 1992

Holy Batman this is a good book
I remember starting this book when I was just 14. I didn't finish it, but several years later at the age of 25 I bought it. At first I thought that it would be geared more to teens considering the author is Christopher Pike. Oh how wrong I was! This book is excellent, well written, and proves that an author like Christopher Pike can rise above stereo-types and create a master piece. I have now, ...

I guess I'm a tree-hugger
Okay, so this is probably as preachy as Dr. Suess gets, and it just might get on the nerves of some people, but the tree hugger in me salutes him for it, even as he paints a grimmer picture of environmental destruction than Al Gore ever thought of. Even so, it's clearly Suess with his imaginative worlds and funny characters. It's a solemn book of warning that it pretty darn good into ...

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

149 reviews
Jon Scieszka

Topeka Bindery, 1999

A new spin on an old story
This book is the classic story of the "three little pigs" from the wolf's perspective. It is a bit funny, sometimes very funny, but more important, it shows children, that even if you think you KNOW what happened, there is always two sides to every story. It is an entertaining way to teach children not to engage or believe gossip, but to seek out the truth. Additionally, it shows how both sides ...

The book was delivered promptly, and the condition of the book was as described. Cover in good shape and no marks on the inside of the book--this last part is very, very important. PS: to Amazon.com--my REAL name is J C Cox--there are no Periods. J C Cox 10/30/08
