So glad this isn't out of print!
I remember loving this book as a little girl, so, of course I bought it for my own children when I came across it as an adult. The story is timeless, and my kids enjoy it just as much as I did!

Johnny Lion's Bad Day (I Can Read)

Twisted!
This is my favorite twisted children's book. Ostensibly, it is a story about a child who is sick in bed and has bad dreams. It all ends happily. It's a fine book to share with your children. But, you could read it this way... Johnny Lion is sick in bed and, after taking some "bad red medicine" begins to hallucinate. He sees an owl and a giant bunny in his room. His mother and daddy keep pushing ...

Seven Little Postmen (A Little Golden Book)

"Sakes alive! What is it about?" Sakes alive! The secret is out!
I really love children's books that sweep the reader away on long journeys. Harold and the Purple Crayon is one such book. So, too, are the Phantom Tollbooth and, of course, Tolkien's works. The Seven Little Postmen does this on a more mundane level, but the journey is enjoyable, nonetheless. Here, Margaret Wise Brown and Tibor Gergely lead us across bustling city streets, fly us through ...

Johnny Lion's Book (An I Can Read Book) (First Edition)
Edith Thacher Hurd

Harper&RowPublishers, 1965

Johnny Lion's mother and father are going out hunting. "Be a good little lion," says Mother Lion. "Do not go out of the house." But Johnny has something better to do. He has a brand-new book! "Oh no," he says. "I will not go out of the house. I will read my book all day long." At first he does not read very well. He tries and tries until he can finally read the story. Imagine his surprise when it turns out to be all about a little lion a lot ...

Edith Thacher Hurd

HarperCollins, 2001

Rain-day blues Johnny Lion has everything he needs to play outside in the rain--except rubber boots. So he must stay inside and play indoor games. But indoor games aren't as much fun as splashing in puddles and getting wet. When will Johnny Lion get to go outside?

I HAVE FOUND MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD BOOK!!!
When my daughter was born in 1979, I wanted to share with her my favorite childhood book. At the time, there was not "the web", as we know it,or Amazon. I must have traveled 300 miles and visited 30 bookstores. As I anticipate a grandchild someday, I decided to search for this book.... and there it was... I have looked at it over 25 times. And, as an educated adult, I understand the ...

Starfish (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science)

Great for youngsters
I found this book very helpful and informative for my kindergarten class. It is both simplistic enough for them to grasp the information and stay "engaged" as well as, complex enough for children to learn several attributes of a starfish...and remember it! There is also a great activity supplied at the end of the book. It's been a winner for me at home and at school. Great for beginners to ...
