Joel Chandler Harris
Houghton Mifflin, 2002
Just what I was looking for.
I wanted the complete works, and that's what I got. It was written exactly as I remember reading it years ago. I love reading it to my grand children. Plus some fascinating info on the background of the writer which I didn't know back then.

Salman Rushdie
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1991
Nice Story, Well written
I have been reading Sulman Rushdie for a while and I can see what makes him so great.
His interest in giving out details makes this book and any of his other book an interesting reading.

Great Book
This was a great book with lots of information about building your own mud oven. It was easy to follow how to build the oven and there was a lot of explaining about how and why every little thing worked.

Good book
This was a good book. It sparked my interest in Anthropology and I learned so much from it. The author may be bias in some areas but that contributes to the learning experience. It helped me learn about other countries beliefs and customs.

Great Book!
"Tigers in the Mud" I found to be very captivating and I couldn't put it down. I wish someone would make this into a authentic movie, the perils and trials Otto Carius went through was very interesting.

A Treasury of Curious George16 reviews
H.A. and Margret Rey
Houghton Mifflin, 2004
HUGE HIT and most economical
This is a delightful, space-saving collection of CG stories. It has held up very well, and my 2 year old son has learned so many words from it. He adores this book, and it's NOT over his head at all. I think for MOST children it's not appropriate until age 3 unless your child is extremely verbal. Why by 8 or 10 separate books when you can have them all together in one book. It's great for ...

The Piggy in the Puddle (Reading Rainbow Book)25 reviews
Charlotte Pomerantz
Aladdin, 1989
Best Read-Aloud Picture Book of All Time!!
This is my favorite book for storytime reading. Mainly preschool - but I've also had adults keep asking me to read one more page, too.
Charlotte Pomerantz has created a work of art - the ending and internal rhymes, the way she plays and puts words together, the right amount of repetition. This is why people think it's So Easy to write a children's book. This is a deceptively simple title, ...

Preschoolers delight in the dirty feet splashing through the mud. This is a great addition to a collection about the seasons. The illustrations lend themselves to ...

An absolute must for any one working with young children.
I first came across this book while student teaching and fell in love instantly. I have used it for many theme units - letter (W), farm unit, and rhyming words unit. I have even made flannel board pieces to go along with the story and put in my literacy centers. My supervising teachers loved the flannel pieces so much they had me make them some also. You children/students will love this book ...
