Harlequin, 2000

Great Story by Janice Kay Johnson
I have reread Janice Kay Johnson's story Promise Me Picket Fences over and over again. It is worth the price of this collection. The other two stories have major problems as far as I'm concerned. But Picket Fences was complete with a too-die-for hero and an endearing heroine. I enjoyed the story as well as the romance. Buy Born in a Small Town today! Janice Kay Johnson's story is lovely and ...

Not what I expected
While I'm sure it still suits the purpose, I was unhappy to receive what apparently is a photocopied book which is why I only gave it 3 stars.

Creative Homeowner, 2006

Great Kid's Book
Sure, some of the illustrations scared me as a kid, but I loved it all the same. I used to beg my mom to read it to me all the time. Sadly, I got rid of it a while ago, and pretty soon I missed it dearly. I bought a new copy of it just today and couldn't be happier. I'm so glad to have found it still in print. This book is indespensible, no matter what...

Cambridge University Press, 1998

Wonderful book
I purchased this book last year for an essay course I taught at a Korean university. It's an incredible book and I wish the authors would make this a series. The stories deal with many topics and they're never dull. The book also provides excellent material for teaching grammar, which is essential for good writing. The authors divide the stories into chapters that deal with certain themes. ...

The Good-bye Book

Aladdin, 1992

Ease the good-byes
My young children enjoyed this book because they could identify with the content of a young boy who doesn't want his parents to leave him with a babysitter for the night. This delightful story proves that not all picture books have to be syrupy-sweet. Children see themselves in the young character who refuses to let his parents leave without a fuss. You know that old adage that "misery ...

Kay Cooper

Cartwheel Books, 2001

Great Story Time resource!
This small collection of fingerplays is extremely useful; the first time I picked it up I found at least one fingerplay for every Story Time theme we have scheduled for our library this year. Some of the fingerplays are rather simplistic(hence four stars, instead of five), but the illustrations are simply incredible, and the additional boxed information makes this a good science resource for ...

Don't do it....
I guess this was written for kids. It's certainly not for adults. Don't buy it--don't read it.
