Everyone is Curious
This is one of three books about Angus, the little Scottish Terrier. He is like many small boys or girls who do not want to stay safely at home, but want to take off and explore the world. Without being terribly scary this story illustrates that sometimes we are not ready to do what we think we are ready to do, and that there are good reasons for certain rules. Angus is very smart and ...

Good read for 4-9 year olds
Walter is a lazy mouse. He is so lazy that he never gets up for school. He doesn't get up until everyone else has left. Finally his family forgets about him and move out, leaving him behind. Walter sets off to find them. He winds up on his own island and makes friends with some frogs. He tries to teach them math and reading, but since he never got up in time for school, he gets most of it ...

Philisophical gems
Books like this and Ping are philisophical gems that you should keep on your bookshelf, whether young or old. They are modern parables that keep you thinking no matter how many times you read them. These books, although simple in tale, fit in the genre: What it may be to be human. The illustrations, while not as slick and modern as all that, will keep the story soaked in nostalgia.

Dogs Rule!
I think this (or Make Way for Ducklings) was my first library book. At any rate, it starated me on a lifelong love of reading--and dogs! The illustrations capture every nuance of a dog's body language--you can practically feel Angus' warm little tummy as he stands up to reach something high. The story is not babyfied, but, as another reviewer indicates, is told with an intelligent vocabulary. ...

The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes (Sandpiper Books)

Sandpiper, 1974

All time favorite
"The Country Bunny" was a favorite for me as a child, my children enjoyed it and now I am buying a copy for all my grandkids. The art is old fashioned, but the message is ageless. It's the old story that if you really want to do something you can find a way. Mother bunny was a great organizer, feminist and accomplished much, but it was her caring about others that helped her succeed in the ...

childhood memories
I finally found this book on Amazon after remembering it from my childhood. It is a classic and both my boys love having it read to them. It is a cute story of a little boy named Danny searching for a gift for his mother's birthday. He enlists the help of some friendly animals....

Boats on the River

Viking Juvenile, 1991

A classic
How bizarre that anyone can object to the warship! Rip the page out, get another book. Please remember when this book was written. As a child in New York City in the 40s and early 50s, I had the opportunity to tour a number of WARSHIPS (including a submarine) because they were ON THE RIVER and were occasionally open to the public. I never saw a warship, or any other ship, at the Central Park ...

The Story About Ping
there is a reason this book is a classic. wonderfully written. my active four year old was immediately drawn away from her play and into the story about Ping. She has requested the book daily... as we relive the pages of the story and even reinact Ping's adventures. A must for any home library.
