Great book for girls too!

You Are Special171 reviews
Max Lucado
Scholastic, 1997
Note
16 Sept. 2008
I have both the paperback and the hardcopy edition of this book. I recommend the hardback because of how much it is used. I have read this book to my nephews dozens of times. When the two of them leave I always tell them, "Remember, You are Special!" They came in from out-of-state last week and the first thing one of them said to me was, "You are special." The book is a good ...

The Monster at the End of This Book (Big Bird's Favorites Brd Bks)166 reviews
Jon Stone
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2000
Spoilers!
So it turns out that the "monster" is actually the protagonist which, while having shades of postmodern antihero angst that wil reverberate strongly with fans of, say, Kafka or Burroughs, really threw me for a loop as a kid.
My two year old, on the other hand, has no problem with this conceit, and wants me to read it to him regularly.
He'll understand how cruel this all is when he get a ...

Miss Suzy102 reviews
Miriam Young
Purple House Press, 2004
Childhood favorite revisited
This is a book that my mother read to me as a child and, later, as I learned to read, would read to her. Now, 30 years later, I am reading this to my daughter and sharing one of my childhood favorites with her. Some of the ideas are a little dated, Miss Suzy is a stay-at-home squirrel who enjoys cooking and cleaning, but it also a tale of kindness and respect.

NVTL Good Night Gorilla Plush Doll170 reviews
Putnam Juvenile, 2003
A gentle and gorgeous bedtime book
My 18-month-old loves to look at this this book over and over again. ("Gwa!") But I don't mind at all... "Good Night, Gorilla" is one of my favorites.
The pictures tell the story in this book; there are only a handful of words. I love the stunningly vivid and detailed illustrations. There are little surprises everywhere you look -- a stuffed Babar doll in the elephant's cage; a family ...

Who doesn't love Winnie The Pooh? Don't answer that. This is an excellent and charming book to use for bedtime stories for children. I grew up with it and I still love it! It endears the simplicity of life and love...and honey.

Lilly's brand new purse
This story is about a girl who got a brand new purse. She really wants to show it to her classmates, but her teacher Mr. Slinger wants her to wait at an appropriate time.
I love this book because Lilly is very precious and for giving. I think this book is good for k-2nd grade. So they can have reading.
I think this is a wonderful story. Lilly loves her purse. Plus she's very anxious to show it ...

The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh31 reviews
A. A. Milne
Dutton Juvenile, 2001
Totally terrific
It doesn't matter which Winnie story or poem one loved most when growing up. They're all here to share with new generations of children and grandchildren, together with the the original art work (albeit colorized).
Personally, I'm rather fond of the poems--especially "Rice Pudding" and "The Mirror," from When We Were Very Young. But of course all the favorite Pooh Bear stories are here, too, ...

Great for young ages!
We've been reading this to our little guy since he was three months old, if even that, and he was glued to it from the start, easily his favorite book, still, at nearly 13 months. Great color, great rhythm, and lots of fun bugs! :)

Olive, the Other Reindeer Book and Doll33 reviews
Vivian Walsh
Chronicle Books, 1999
Excellent, sweet story
The story of Olive shows us how we all have strengths and those strengths are important even if they are different from others. It can teach us to be creative on how we can best use our strengths. Most of all it is a sweet story about a very sweet dog named Olive. I loved reading it as an adult and gave it to someone who also enjoyed it very much.
