Hilarious adventures are enhanced by zany drawings by Melissa Suber in this winner
In Stephen Krensky's Milo The Really Big Bunny Milo just wants to be like the other bunnies, but he's the biggest bunny any bunny has ever seen and he just doesn't fit in. Plus, he's purple. Milo feels badly, until the Easter Bunny announces he needs a helper...and he's determined to be that helper, no matter what! Hilarious adventures are enhanced by zany drawings by Melissa Suber in this winner.

Great book
My boys love this book..it's funny and helps to teach them essential manners at the same time. We have the softcover and I wish I had bought the hardcover so it would last longer.

Eeyore Has a Birthday (Pooh ETR 2) (Easy-to-Read, Puffin)4 reviews
A. A. Milne
Puffin, 2001
perfect small-scale Pooh for young readers
This little book is an exact reproduction of a chapter 6 in the original book, Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne, with the original illustrations by Shephard enhanced by judicious watercoloring. All the charm of the original, in a perfect size for reading to littler kids, who can feel satisfied at having been read "the whole story." Also good for children just starting to read all by themselves. ...

Stephen Krensky
Topeka Bindery, 2003
A FRESH TAKE ON THE CINDERELLA TALE
This is a fresh, humorous and lighthearted version of the cinderella story, from the perspective of a young, fledgling fairy godmother. Insightful as to relating to life as a kid, and as a sibling. Inspiring, funny, nice.

Excellent for beginning chapter book readers
My child loved this book. Unlike the other Arthur chapter books, the books from the "Good Sports" series have not been shown on "Arthur" on tv.

Children of the Earth and Sky: Five Stories About Native American Children1 review
Stephen Krensky
Demco Media, 1991
Education find
A very beautiful intelligent read. My children loved it as much as I did. I encouraged my son's teacher to influence her students to read this and similar stories. Not only is it educational for Native American children but also for others. It is important that every American child learn about Native Americans. Unless they live near a rez most people do not even realize Native Americans still ...

The Crimson Comet
Morrissey has a wonderful style. He goes back to the tin metal and a chipped paint look of WW1. It's a unique style and we often use it in our paintings. Hope he has other book up and coming in 2007. :D

Arthur and the Perfect Brother (Arthur Chapter Books)1 review
Stephen Krensky, Marc Tolon Brown, 2008
My daughter loves this whole series
This series of books is so consistently good that I automatically order each one as soon as it's available. #21 keeps up the tradition. My daughter (just turned 8) loves it, as she has the previous 20. The only difference from the beginning of the series to the present, is that now she has to read each chapter to me before I'll read it to her. She's always excited when Marc Brown releases a ...

My Teacher's Secret Life1 review
Stephen Krensky
Rebound by Sagebrush, 2001
My thoughts on My Teacher's Secret Life
I think this book is very funny. In this story the little boy thinks the teachers stays at school all the time. The little boy thinks that the librarian reads to the teachers before they go to bed at night. He thinks the cafeteria ladies cook dinner for the teachers. He thinks the gym teacher makes them do exercises. He thinks the music teacher makes the teachers dance. He also thinks the art ...

Stephen Krensky
Scholastic, 1999
Review by Nayla P.S. 39
If you need to learn to solve problems in a good way then the book Lionel in the Summer by Stephen Krensky is for you. In chapter 1 Lionel runs into a problem because he made a long list of things to do on the first day of summer. But there's not enough time. Will Lionel learn to enjoy the first day of summer? Read the book to find out. I think I would give this book 5 stars. And I'm sure ...

Arthur and the Recess Rookie (Arthur Good Sports, 3)1 review
Stephen Krensky
Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2001
A nice lesson in fairness
Francine learns that it isn't always sheer physical skill that makes a good team - strategy is important. The gang also takes some time to think about how it feels to be the last one picked for a team - you know that feeling. Never sappy but engaging, a good story in a great series. Stephen Krensky has done a good job with these books. Why is it that Marc Brown's name is on the cover?

Arthur And The Nerves Of Steel (Arthur Chapter Books)1 review
Stephen Krensky
Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2004
Krensky Pulls it Off Again!
"Arthur and the Nerves of Steal" is another great novelization of the show. In this book, Stephen Krensky successfully adapts a rather dodgy story about Buster stealing something called a "CyberToy."
Buster wants the toy so badly that he drops into Arthur's backpack when no one is looking. He then becomes paranoid and faces a moral dilemma as to what to do with it. As things grow worse, it ...
