PublishAmerica, 2005
SFC 5 star review
The Magic Elevator is the debut book of author Pol McShane. The story is about two brothers who are only a year a part in age and very close. They prefer to play with each other than to play with their friends. And they always seem to get themselves into trouble. Their parents are busy and spend little time with the boys. They don't worry about Johnny and Joey because they've been raised to be ...

Marcella: A Raggedy Ann Story (Raggedy Ann)4 reviews
Johnny Gruelle
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 1999
When modern life begins to get you down...
Johnny Gruelle has a rare gift to capture fantasy and joy better than anyone does. Few books whisk me back to the carefree days of a bygone childhood world faster than his. I remember reading "Marcella" as a little boy again and again. Not only were the stories between its covers utterly delightful but also the drawings couldn't have been more marvelous! While 'surfing' the Internet this ...

Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Camel With the Wrinkled Knees10 reviews
Johnny Gruelle
Topeka Bindery, 2003
A Lovely, Lovely Keepsake
"One day Raggedy Ann and Andy were walking in the deep, deep woods when they met their friend, the Camel with the wrinkled knees..." is not a quote from this book despite its appearance at the top of this page.
No, this book is far better written than that and is a great bit of foundation to lay for children who will one day, sooner than their parents think, be reading real literature. ...

Susan D Kalior
Blue Wing Publications, Workshops, and Lectures, 2008
Amazing book!
Susan D. Kalior is one of the most talented writers around. I got completely lost in the book and couldn't put it down! The book has a cleverly weaved plot and the characters are well written. There is suspense throughout the entire book. I found myself laughing and crying as I followed the characters on their journey. I eagerly await the 2nd book in this series!

Johnny Texas6 reviews
Carol Hoff
Hendrick-Long Publishing Company, 1992
Great Story For Texas Children
I read this book when I was in the second grade. It's about a family from Germany that settles in Texas, during its formative days. Their young boy, Johann, is soon re-christened "Johnny Texas" in recognition of the family's new life. One day, Dad comes home with a slave, a young black man named Tobias who seems eternally morose, because they need help on their farm. Soon, Dad decides to ...

The Last Buru (Strange Forces)12 reviews
Marty M. Engle, Johnny Ray, Jr. Barnes
Frontline Publications, 1997
Good book, shame it's the end.
This book (not to mention the whole strange forces series) is a masterpiece. There are no other books like theses. This was probably the best book so far. The thing that really gets me is that the authors quit after this book, and the plans that were made for up too book nine. All I could get out of the company is that the authors moved on. I want them to continue writing, I have been hoping ...

Heavy Lettuce: Adventures of a Journeyman Dieter5 reviews
Johnny T. Flynn
Sunset Avenue Publishers, 2006
Excellent Read from a Credible Author
At 224 pages, I began reading this coincidentally at a time where at 224 pounds, I felt overweight. Heavy Lettuce takes a very unique approach in providing information to the reader on the subject of weight loss. Instead of providing the reader with a boring weight loss routine and a diet that we all know, Flynn discusses the pitfalls of going on any diet: gaining more weight when all is said ...

Who Was Johnny Appleseed? (Who Was...?)3 reviews
Joan Holub
Grosset & Dunlap, 2005
Great addition to the Who Was series.
The Who Was series is a great one in general, and this particular book is one of my favorites. I'd always thought Johnny Appleseed went around aimlessly tossing appleseeds. Not so. He was an entrepeneur, with a great idea: keep moving west and planting apple seeds just ahead of settlers who would need fruit and so would buy his seedlings. There were also laws about land ownership that ...

American Crown: The Misadventures of Prince Johnny Washington-Bourbon2 reviews
Rollo Ver
iUniverse, Inc., 2005
Almost as funny as reality!
In laughs, this book has both quantity and quality. Ver didn't spare even a single paragraph from his uniquely cynical sense of humor. He also understands that the funniest stories plausibly combine human avarice and stupidity in a way that makes us feel confident in our own superior wisdom. To this end Ver spawned a very elaborate alternate history from a single common blunder: A general ...

As the Sparks Fly Upward: Jimmy and Johnny Adventure Stories3 reviews
David Degruy
Topeka Bindery, 2003
Exciting Stories for Children
'AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARD' is an excellent addition to any family library. The stories present very good lessons in values and can be easily read by youngsters. Too many of our children are growing up in an environment of uncertainty, in single parent homes, most likely in a state of poverty, and in many cases live with violence on a daily basis. The long range forecast by national researches and ...

Beloved Raggedy Andy Stories
I remember these stories being read to me as a little girl and I still find inspiration in them today! Raggedy Andy always kept pleasant thoughts and had a positive outlook on life. His philosophy: "You see how easy it is to pass over the little bumbs of life if we are happy on the inside". His stories are a great way to teach children virtues and values. There is a wonderful afterward in ...

Everyone who enjoys a good laugh should read this book.
I own a copy of this book and think it is awesome. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop. I like the way Johnny made jokes- I understood them. I also liked how the book took place near where I live- every one else thought it was cool too. Me and my friends have already gone looking for gnomes. Sometimes, I would read it during silent reading in class, and I would burst out laughing. Then, ...

Sir Thomas Faye

Wonderful book!
This book was "written" after the events that took place in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End from the perspective of the surviving members of the East India Trading Company. It has dossiers on Captain Jack Sparrow, the young Jack Sparrow (from the book series), Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, etc. It is like a pop-up book in a way as there are letters you can open, a set of pirate flags ...
