Walt Disney's Bambi (Illustrated Classic Series)

9 reviews
Joanne Ryder, David Pacheco, ...

Disney Pr (Juv Trd), 1993

A nice book to read to your children.
When it's time to put the kids to bed I highly recommend you read this book "Bambi and the Great Prince of the Forest," a midquel to the beloved story "Bambi." The book is pretty short only being 23 pages long with large print. Because the print is large and pretty easy to read this would be an ideal book for young children to start reading. The book also has very beautiful illustrations to ...

Won't You Be My Hugaroo?

Harcourt Children's Books, 2006

A gem of a book
This is a wonderful book! Filled with all kinds of hugs--a cozy hug, a cheer-up hug, a twirly hug, to name just a few--the lively, fun-to-read text paints a picture of a warm and loving world. The illustrations show colorfully dressed zebras, elephants, bunnies, and pigs (really people in animal guise) spending an exciting, hug-filled day at an amusement park. This is a world where hugs are ...

Puffin, 1996

Nature learning experience
Lynne Cherry's illustration of this book are so realistic they look like photographs. The book has exceptional detail from the flowery meadow to all the creatures living in it. The poetic text and illustrations describe the life cycle of a swallowtail butterfly with great accuracy. A wonderful story for nature lovers.

My Father's Hands

HarperCollins, 1994

A book that touches the essence of fatherhood
In this book, where a young father shows his garden world to his daughter, one touches both the magical and the spiritual. Neither is mentioned, but both are there in the rich prose and wonderful paintings. The children I watched hearing it were caught up in the magic and the wonder of the discoveries. And they were quiet with my tears when I read of the dirt that never quite ever washed ...

Chipmunk Song: 2

Joanne Ryder, Lynne Cherry

Puffin, 1990

A wonderful book to read to children, or to yourself.
Chipmunk Song provides children with a chipmunk's eye view of the world outdoors, with colorful, creative, and detailed illustrations that can stand on their own. But with the subtly evocative text to go with them, the book is as fascinating to read to children, as it is to the children themselves. You may find yourself reading this one when the children aren't around, just for enjoyment. ...

The Snail's Spell (Picture Puffins)

Joanne Ryder

Puffin, 1988

Excellent factual and imaginative book for younger children with beautiful illustrations
I found this book to be extremely helpful in teaching my 4yr old daughter about snails and how they live while also allowing her to see beautiful illustrations and use a bit of her imagination as well; so the book hit three important characteristics that are needed for a child's storybook. It tells of a child's imaginative journey through his/her garden while watching a snail; the child imagines ...

Little Toot (All Aboard Books) (All-Aboard Books)

Hardie Gramatky

Grosset & Dunlap, 1988

Charming story in a tough little book
I purchased this book as a present for my two year old and he loves it. The illustrations and brief story make it one of his favorites. We embellish it with extra little details here and there. I like it beacause it has survived the love and attention of my very destructive little man.

Night Gliders

Troll Communications, 1997

A must for read-aloud!
The rhyming words are just right, not trite. Young learners adore pointing out the rhymes as well as counting the number of flying squirrels, eyes, etc.

Little Panda: The World Welcomes Hua Mei at the San Diego Zoo

Aladdin, 2004

If you didn't love Pandas before this book, you will now!
The photos in this book are absolutely amazing! Starting with Hua Mei's 1st teeny tiny black & white photo camera that had been installed inside the panda den, and the book ending 1 year later. I can't say enough about the photos! This is the 1st year in the life of Hua Mei and is pronounced Hwa May. In China, one name can mean different thing and Hua Mei's means Splended Beauty AND ...

Charming, realistic artwork and a gently soothing text depict a young boy's imaginative wanderings, as he lies in bed and dreams about bears who live outside his home, bears who are very much like himself in their actions.
