Aladdin, 1993

my son insisted we read it five times in a row
I bought this book for my son's fourth birthday. We sat down to read it at bedtime, and he was completely riveted. When we finished, he said "read it again, Mommy." We went through this four more times, then I had to promise we'd read it again the next day in order to get him to go to sleep. The story is gripping, and the artwork is amazing. Switching between color and black/white for ...

Little Old Big Beard And Big Young Little Beard: A Short And Tall Tale

2 reviews

Marshall Cavendish Children's Books, 2006

Great to read to kids, fun for adults too
After I heard about this book on NPR, I had to get it. It was just as good as promised. The story is heartwarming and humorous, taking the reader on a journey with two cowboys who lost their favorite cow. It is also wonderfully paced so that after a few readings, children can chime in to say the cowboys' favorite meal ("Guess what?" "Beans!"). There is just enough text on each page so that ...

Wonderful story, well loved illustrations!
My 19 month old daughter loves this book, and brings it to me every night. The illustrations are fun for her to look at, and the text has us snuggling close throughout. A must for any parent who loves to hug and kiss their child!

Thirteen

A visual treat of the highest quality for kids of all ages.
This picture book may be the cleverest ever created. "Thirteen" is 13 stories told simultaneously on 13 pages, each story told by pictures which change and evolve as you turn the pages. Many of the stories are circular or contain hidden surprises. This is the book that I have given most often as a gift, not only to kids but also adults, who may enjoy it even more than kids!

What a thrill to find this book again!
As a child some 30 years ago I used to borrow this book from the library again and again. In my late teens I thought it would be a kick to look up that most favorite childhood book, only to find it available no more. But now I can buy it! I still remember so many of those goofy, beautifully illustrated mind twisters, but I'm really going to love seeing the ones that time has long hidden from ...

Mother, Mother, I Feel Sick; Send for the Doctor, Quick, Quick, Quick

An appreciated encore printing
I remember these Victorian silhouette illustrations on bold backgrounds from when I was young, and when we found it recently at the library I discovered that it has as much appeal to my four year old today as it did (and still does) to me. The objects the doctor extracts from a young boy's dramatically bloated stomach get progressively more outrageous as they go along, and the story ends with a ...

Parents' Magazine Press, 1973

A Colorful Story About Caring
What is a more important trait to instill in our children than caring? A child who sees the hurt in someone else and offers not sympahty but human compassion is a treasure. What a sad testiment to the times that this special book is no longer in print. The story of Harlequin, a poor boy who desperately wishes to attend the town's big carnival but has no costume to wear, teaches children about ...

The Dead Bird

Margaret Wise Brown

Harpercollins, 1990

ONE OF THE GREAT BOOKS!
In 1964 I found this book in a library in Augsburg, Germany while searching for a way to explain to my 5 year old daughter the sudden death of her 3 month old brother. I checked the book out and read it to her that afternoon. The simple story of a group of children finding the dead bird and burying it with a little, sincere and heart-felt ceremony was comforting to her, and with the last ...

This book is wonderful!!!
My son, who just turned one, ADORES this book. He asks that we read it to him constantly, and has since the day we brought it home 4 months ago. I am now ordering a second and a third copy - a spare for us because the first is so dog-eared, and one for a friend to share with her daughter. It is a beautiful, playful, fun story with lots of word-play to entertain and encourage kids who are just ...
