Get the biggest Cricket
We recently ordered 5 copies of Quick as a Cricket for our grandson and as gifts for other children. Our kids grew up with this book and it is timeless. All the copies we ordered were paperback but one arrived supersized. The pages are 15 x17 which is wonderful. The pages of the smaller books are 6x6. Both sizes have their uses but we really enjoy the wonderful illustrations in the larger ...

Elbert's Bad Word6 reviews
Voyager Books, 1996
A how-to on reducing the power of bad words.
My kids borrowed this book at the library and enjoyed it so much I am purchasing it. My four-year-old enjoys saying and creating his own expressive words - words that "sparkle and crackle." My two-year-old recognizes bad words and is learning acceptable replacements. He reads the book daily. They both tell everyone they meet about bad words. Again, the illustration of the bad word is ...

One of my favorite books!
I teach kindergarten and this is one of my favorite books to share with my class. I love the pictures and the kids are fascinated by the story. I had the book in paperback, but it has worn out. I now have my old paperback book to check out to the children and my own copy to cherish.

Earth Spirituality Delight!
This is a rare find for those with Earth based spirituality/religion. The illustrations are lush and detailed, and the story is a perfect introduction for children to the Wheel of the Year.

Sara's Review on Jubal's Wish
I think Jubal's Wish is a very good story. The illustration is very colorful and lively. I love Audrey Wood, she is one of my favorite authors and her stories are really cool. Of all of Audrey Woods books I would have to say that Jubal's Wish is my favorite, it's a really good book.

My [...] son loves it!
My son cannot get enough of this book! We first borrowed it from the library (three consecutive times) and then eventually had to purchase it because he wanted to read it all of the time (I thought other kids should have the opportunity to check it out of the library!). It has really taught him his ABCs in a fun way, and now he has the story practically memorized. Although I like the book I ...

Fabulous book for children of all ages
Both my three-year old girl and seven-year old boy request this book every night. They love the colorful illustrations. It is also a wonderful book to give to kids with allergies, who will relate to Amy (pie makes her sneeze).

walking backwards, upside down...
My 5 year old loves this book. She has it memorized and "reads" it to us over and over again. It's very cute, building on the page before. The illustrations are great and silly and there is a definite resolution. A must read for all.

Tooth Fairy5 reviews
Child's Play International Ltd, 1996
My Children's Favorite All-Time Book
I have three children and this book has been a part of our family for many years. It became part of our family tradition to read The Tooth Fairy by Audrey Wood each time one of the children lost a tooth-they learned the words by heart! It's a cute story and has great pictures which really capture the children's imagination. Now that my children are all grown, I have saved this book to pass on to ...

My grandson's reaction to this book was worth twice
the price. I heard of this book from a kindergarten teacher. She described a unique lesson she had given to her kindergarten class with this book and a bowl of strawberries. Before reading, she scented her classroom with strawberry scented sprays and candles and incense. Then she read the book. Afterwards, the students ate strawberries just like the little mouse in the story. I thought it ...

Great!
Erika just turned 3, we have to read this book again and again every bed time. She likes it so much. She is now able to tell the rhyme as we turn the pages. Wow... I never thought memory could be so sharp at 3! The story is cute and the mouse expressions are funny. And Erika is building vocabulary.

We love Silly Sally!
I first bought this book about 2 yrs ago for my little granddaughter and she loved it. When her teacher asked the kids to bring a favorite book from home to have read aloud in class, she chose her Silly Sally book. I especially like it 'cause its not such a long story. The pictures are funny and appealing. I recently bought the lap-sized board book for my other granddaughter that is 3 1/2 yrs old ...

Novel Setting
The novel is set in 1958 before the drug, etc. scene. So the characters are valid to the period. A wonderful novel.

La Casa Adormecida
The language is simple and repeptitive, making this a great book to teach Spanish in Elementary and Middle grades. Illustrations are great. It's also a good book for native speakers practicing reading. I use it as a check-out book for English as a Second Language students, to motivate literacy acquisition.

Twenty-Four Robbers3 reviews
Audrey Wood
Child's Play, Int'l., 2005
Fun book for kids to read along to
Children learn to read by recognizing (memorizing) increasingly large numbers of words on sight (developing a reading vocabulary). A book like this is one that progresses in a cadence (is singable) and thus, easy to memorize. A great book for new readers, because as they memorize while looking at the book, they begin to recognize and add new words to their reading vocabularies. They don't even ...

Not only is this book beautifully illustrated, it will also take your child on a journey through the seasons all in one day. They will be able to wake with the calls of crows and go to sleep to the hoots of an owl. I highly recommend this book to all young readers especially if they love birds and their birdsongs.
