Great Horsey Book!
I thought that A Summer of Horses, was a great book, and i think the person who said "who would ride english on a trail ride?" is totally wrong. I ride english and i've been on more trails than you could ever dream of. Anyway, this was a great book, i cried (seriously) and laughed out loud at some parts. I also think that a great thing about this book is that it is completely origional. I ...

Black Ice Skaters
If you are like me you have never seen a book about black ice skaters even though I love to skate. Well this book is it. It is just the simple story of a little girl who longs to skate and finds out how well her Uncle Richard can ice skate and he teaches her everything he knows. For all of those who love to ice skate or love to watch skating, this is a very charming book. It's nice to see a ...

The King of Dragons (Aladdin Fiction)

Aladdin, 2000

A Wonderful Book for Kids and Grown-ups Alike!
I simply can't say enough about Carol Fenner's "The King of Dragon's." It's a wonderful story about the ceaseless wonder of childhood in the midst of a life filled with terrible loss, poverty and uncertainty. The very opposite of cynicism, this book presents the most compelling case for genuineness, optimism and hope one is likely to run across at the end of the twentieth century.

Snowed In With Grandmother Silk

Puffin, 2005

What a lovely little story
This is one of those books that pulls at your heartstrings without being maudlin or overly in-your-face with sentimentality. It's nice to see a grandmother depicted in a children's story who is not the chubby, white-haired, sensibly-shoed, cookie-baking, story-reading archetype. Ruddy's grandmother wears furs and has perfectly coiffed hair. She doesn't know how to relate to a young boy, nor he to ...

Randalls Wall

Carol Fenner

Aladdin, 2000

Excellent book for teaching tolerance to 8-12 year olds
Upper elementary and middle school kids can be brutal to those considered different. This book brings home the point that all people have value and how we treat others has a profound affect on how they feel about themselves. Randall has the worst of all worlds. An abusive father, an absolutely horrible home complete with bed bugs, and no friends. His dirty body is a "wall" that keeps those ...
