Amulet Books, 2008
Great book series
We purchased this book for our school library and it hasn't been on the shelf since! It is a really cute book that my sons (7 and 9) have really enjoyed. We are eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.
Also - The binding is really great on the book.

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!150 reviews
Jon Scieszka
Viking Juvenile, 1999
Loved reading this as a kid
I read this book aloud at my kindergarten graduation (we did a play with the 3 little wolves and this story worked together) and after watching the video of that recently it reminded me of how much I loved this story and I think because of stories like this and the 3 little wolves story I learned to think outside the box and love things that aren't the norm. I encourage any parent to read this ...

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever120 reviews
Barbara Robinson
HarperCollins, 1988
A Great LIttle Classic!
Every year a number of new books appear for the Christmas season, seeking to show new significance to old customs, or sometimes merely to put a contemporary story in a holiday context to stimulate sales. Most of those little books disappear from memory as quickly as the year's ornaments and greenery. This book is one whose value and impact seems to grow from year to year. It can be enjoyed by ...

Dealing With Dragons301 reviews
Patricia C. Wrede
Topeka Bindery, 2002
One of my favorites
This is an enchanting story that once again captures the spirit of the perky princess who had no desire to be the traditional damsel-in-distress. So, what's a contemporary woman trapped by royal traditions to do? Offer herself up to the dragons in the first place.
It's a whimsical tale that gives fairytales sly winks and twists at every corner. The characters are rich, and move the story along ...

Light hearted story with a great message...
This a great one for a preschool child, it focuses on music and fitting in with others which children this age begin to recognize. Beautiful illustrations will also keep your child interested.

Jimmy Zangwow's Out-Of-This-World Moon Pie Adventure30 reviews
Tony DiTerlizzi
Topeka Bindery, 2003
Out of this world!
This incredibly charming book has fabulous illustrations that will remind some of a 1950s kids book BUT kids won't find it old-fashioned at all! It is a fabulous journey w/ Jimmy Zangwow. I've given it for birthday presents... complete w/ a box of Moon pies from Cracker Barrel. My three year old little girl adores it... as does her 8 year boy cousin! Don't miss it!

CDB! (Stories to Go!)
I was very excited to find this book for my grandbaby. We had great fun with it when her aunts were small. Who would have thought back then that William Stieg invented 'text speak'. I even stumped my youngest daughter with NQ!

This is such a cute book. Bright and colorful pictures to look at, with a story that isn't too repetitive. Readers will not mind reading time and again to children

The Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree (Bright & Early Books(R))30 reviews
Stan Berenstain, Jan Berenstain
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1978
Fabulous Book
My sister and I LOVED this book when we were younger. The pictures are so captivating, and as a child I remember loving the secret passage ways and rooms the little bears found. It may be a bit too scary for very young children, but this book is truly one of my childhood favorites!

Prank the Monkey: The ZUG Book of Pranks23 reviews
Sir John Hargrave
Citadel, 2007
One of If Not Thee Funniest Book I've Ever Read
I one day came across the ZUG site and was blown away by the intensely funny nature of Sir John's writing. I then heard about the book he was releasing. I knew that if contained stories of the caliber on his site the book would be quite enjoyable. I was not mistaken, for the book was side-splittingly funny. It is one of those books you can reread over and over again.
After you read it through ...

Henry Winkler
Topeka Bindery, 2003
Tremendous Book and Series
I read the first six books in this series back in 2004 and was completely blown away by them. Having a dual form of dyslexia, reading these books was like a flashback to childhood and my own early school struggles. Henry Winkler in an interview talks about his own struggles with dyslexia. The books tout Hank as the world's best underachiever. These books capture the essence of struggling with a ...

I love this book
I purchased a copy for a friend's baby shower. I couldn't help but read it before I gave it to her, and I loved it so much that I bought a copy for myself. It is now my go-to item for baby shower gifts, I give it to everyone.

The Boys Start the War34 reviews
Phillis Reynolds Naylor
Thorndike Press, 2002
First in a series
"The Boys Start the War" is a hit in my small Catholic library. After the first girl returned the book, she asked for Book 2, "The Girls Get Even." I had acquired only the first one, waiting to see the reaction. She was so delighted that I bought the entire set. The rest has been popular history!
As with this series, let one student read and spread the word, then a reading frenzy follows!
