The many stories of a city bus
Next Stop! is a great book to read with your child. The pictures are detailed and can help to create a discussion and stories about what each person is doing on the bus because it carries through the book until the person gets to his/her destination. The repetition of the text and the bright colorful illustrations makes the book enjoyable and holds my son's attention throughout the book and he ...

Mysterious stories that really gets you thinking
I think that this book is simply one of the best books that I've ever read. When I first started reading it I thought the stories were totally "weird". But when I got to the story about "Mr. Potato Head" my thought changed into "unusual". Which is good. I mean, I think reading normal plots and stories and just really boring. This book really got me thinking. For readers who likes unusual ...
