A Tooth Story (Ready-to-Read) 1 review
Margaret McNamara
Aladdin Library, 2004
Good for 1st grader who is not an early reader
This book was good for my son who is in 1st grade, but not an early reader. The story line, as in the entire series, is slightly different from other early readers. In this case, one of the students has not lost a tooth yet. Because the boy later loses two teeth in a playground crash, my son loved the book. He was proud to be able to read the book, related to the tooth loss since three of his ...

Fast shipping.
My daughter had a book report and we could not find a library that carried this book. I then got on amazon and ordered it. Although it was time critical, we got it just in time to read it and write the report. My daughter recieved an A. Thanks Amazon.

Sailing for Gold (Ready-for-Chapters)2 reviews
Deborah Hopkinson
Aladdin Library, 2003
Great series for boys
My son loves this book. It was on his summer reading list, and it's just at the perfect level for beginning or reluctant readers. Our family is headed for a summer vacation in Seattle, and we can't wait to go to the Klondike National Park in Pioneer Square and imagine what the streets looked like in 1897!

Clouds (Ready-to-Read)1 review
Marion Dane Bauer
Aladdin Library, 2004
Good non fiction book for early readers!
I purchased Wind, Rain, Clouds and Snow. Wonderful short science books and very easy for young readers. My 5 year old twins love to read their 'science' books. It is difficult to find simple non fiction books for this age group, but these are perfect fit.

Rain (Ready-to-Read)
Marion Dane Bauer
Aladdin Library, 2004
Drip, drop, plop, rain falls from the sky. Rain turns dirt into mud and makes puddles on sidewalks. It also helps flowers grow. But where does rain come from? The answer is at your fingertips. Just open this book and read about the wonders of rain.

The Sunset Gates
I bought this book for my 10 year old daughter to read. She has been reading the series and she loves them. They are a great first reader chapter book for kids. She didn't feel intimadated at all' like she did with some other book series. It's a great started set.

Albert Einstein: Genius of the Twentieth Century (Ready-to-Read)1 review
Patricia Lakin
Aladdin Library, 2005
Great easy to read biography
For kids who are not quite sure biographies are cool, this will lead them into Einstein's life with ease. Reading level is about third-grade, illustrations are great (I love one with him sticking out his tongue), glossary, bibliography, timeline, website referrals at the back will help kids who are doing research. Part of a series that also includes Wright Brothers, Teddy Roosevelt, other ...

The Long Trail (Ready-for-Chapters)2 reviews
Deborah Hopkinson
Aladdin Library, 2004
My kids love this series
There are so few historical fiction series for young readers that also have good stories. This is one. Both my boys are reluctant readers, and they really enjoyed another series by Hopkinson, Prairie Skies. When we found SAILING FOR GOLD in her new Klondike Kid trilogy, they were so excited. Well, this one is as good as the last. Recommended!

The Mountain of the Moon
Kathleen Duey is a fantastic author! She makes the characters come alive. You feel a part of the story. The book is excellent for girl young readers who love horses, unicorns, or animals.

Jane Kurtz
Aladdin Library, 2004
A good book for my dinosaur crazy kid.
This is a good children's book if your kid doesn't mind a little history. Its about the man who found the first T-Rex bones in Montana. Not your normal children's book, but very educational and an easy read.

Civil War
Here is another book by Hopkinson, but this time a chapter book story for older elementary. This story is about a boy whose family is fighting in the Civil War and his personal experience with finding a runaway slave. The book contains interesting pencil drawings to illustrate the story. Besides the obvious bridge to Civil War history, the availability of multiple books by this author could ...
