Le rouge c'est bien mieux 3 reviews
Kathy Stinson
Annick Press, 1982
For everyone who's Mom has never quite understood them!
This was one of my favourites as a child, and now that I've reached the ripe old age of 19, I still read it now and then. This book is brilliantly written from a kid's point of view (i.e. "juice tastes better in the red cup"), so all kids will enjoy it. I thought it was a nice touch that Kelly's mom lost patience about having everything red. That is SO true! And just for the record, my red ...

Munschworks 3: The Third Munsch Treasury4 reviews
Robert N. Munsch
Annick Press, 2000
Munschworks Rocks!
Robert Munsch is my classes favorite author! He is a really funny man.He tackles really strange topics(farts, peeing, etc) and has my class in hysterics. He is a wonderful author for teaching classes to read. He has a lot of predictable text in his books so the classes can read along.One of the nicest things about Robert Munsch is the fact he answers the children's letters. I have written to ...

The Mole Sisters and the Rainy Day (The Mole Sisters)3 reviews
Annick Press, 2001
Rain, Rain, Go Away
'The Mole SIsters' has the look of a board book, but the head and heart of a (very small) picture book: There are engaging characters, a compelling, dynamic, and the twists and turns of problem-solving. It's got a little more, well, substance to it than similar works, yet it maintains a light touch throughout.
The mole sisters' plan for a beautiful day outdoors clashes with the reality of an ...

The Fire Station (Classic Munsch)4 reviews
Robert N. Munsch
Annick Press, 1992
Great story about a very forward girl
This is a great story for kids who love fire engines, kids who are irrepressible, or kids who know another kid who just won't take no for an answer. Michael's friend Sheila won't let the word "no" stop her; not from Michael, and not from any of the adults. She wants to see the fire station so she takes Michael in with her and asks for a tour. The friendly fireman agrees, but then Sheila wants a ...

The Magic Mustache3 reviews
Gary Barwin
Annick Press, 1999
Old Story With A New Twist
This book is hilarious. It takes the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk and twists it around. The play on words throughout the book are easy enough for kids to understand and funny enough to have even adults chuckling. The illustrations are great too. Definite two thumbs up.

A book all little girls should read!
This is a fabulous book! It is easy to read and the illustrations are fantastic. Every little girl should read this because Elizabeth is a very able and smart little girl who will not put up with any garbage from a man!

Pete's sister's review
The Trailer Park Princesses was a long-awaited book (by me,anyway) and succeeded my greatest expectations. I was thrilled by theimaginative storyline which evoked such vivid images in my mind. The illustrations translated the words in perfect detail-Leanne Fransen did a wonderful job and should continue to illustrate this autho's further works.

funny,easy to read by both kids and parents,great humor
Robert Munsch is a funny author with an easy style for the kids to master. If they learn to read one book they can read them all. Parents and teachers won't mind re-reading it over and over again.The illustrations are great, and the humor is funny.This author goes crazy with a sleepwalking dad. Great for teaching prediction,and easy to read to a class. The words are on one page and the ...

The Martial Arts Book3 reviews
Laura Scandiffio
Annick Press, 2003
The Martial Arts Inspiration!
The best thing about this book is that it doesn't talk down to children. The author is careful to point out when she is telling a popular story and when she is telling history, and for this reason I feel her writing simultainiously gives children an acurate and traditional understanding of the roots of the major Asian martial arts traditions. Younger children will get much from the illistrations ...

Made You Look: How Advertising Works and Why You Should Know5 reviews
Shari Graydon
Annick Press, 2003
Culture jamming for the younger generation!!
I thought that this book was very interesting when I picked it up, because I had never seen anything like it! Even the author states: "Do you remember the day one of your parents sat you down to have a serious talk about advertising? Me neither." Basically, no one really teaches you about this stuff. I remember that in seventh grade, one of my favorite subjects was called, "Propaganda." It ...

Frog's Riddle: And other Draw And Tell stories2 reviews
Annick Press, 1990
The best book on draw and tell
This book are 12 stories. A part can be drawn on blackboard (7). I'm found of "the ghost on Pedersen's farm", a story about ghosts! Before each story the author has drawn the drawing completely, showing with arrows the meaning of each part of final drawing. You will find in this book a story under the sign of st Valentine ("Claudette's valentines"), a story about mutual aid ("Tiki and Buko"), a ...

Lady Kaguya's Secret: A Japanese Tale2 reviews
Jirina Marton
Annick Press, 1997
Kids: it's better than TV!
This is a wonderful retelling of a classic myth. It educates young readers about the origin of some symbols and themes that they have already seen in popular cartoons and comics such as Naoko Takeuchi's "Sailor Moon", Kosuke Fujishima's "Oh My Goddess" and Yuji Moriyama's "Project A-ko"

Baseball Bats for Christmas2 reviews
Michael Kusugak
Annick Press, 1993
Delightful View into Inuit Culture
This is a wonderful story which conveys the resourcefulness of children. More than that, Michael provides a view from within the Inuit culture. He illuminates for those of us who did not grow up on the Arctic Circle what it is to live in that harsh environment. At the same time, he shows us how alike we all are: enjoying the holidays and a good baseball game with friends. Vladyana's ...

Annick Press, 2001
Funny, Sweet and Original
The beautiful illustrations are what orginally caught my eye while browsing at a bookshop. But after reading this short and clever book, I was hooked. It is funny and sweet and very original...almost poetic! My five year old god-daughter visited me and fell in love with this book and wanted me to read it to her over and over. It's a wonderful bedtime read and I'd recommend all four books..."The ...

It Couldn't Be Worse2 reviews
Annick Press, 2003
Great Story Lesson
I don't know who enjoyed this book more my daughter or me. The lesson is don't complain because your situation could be worse. The story is about a family,including Grandparents, who live in a small house and a wise man suggests that the woman move the farm animals into the house. This was because the woman complained about the lack of space and fighting that was happening in the home. Then ...

BEAU ET INVENTIF!
Ce livre a des dessins moins élaborés que le suivant. Il a 12 histoires (3 ne peuvent être dessinées sur le tableau noir). "Alexander" est une charmante histoire d'un ami perdu et retrouvé, "Banana cream pie" pourrait être traduit par on n'attache pas son chien avec des saucisses. Les autres histoires sont "At the end of the Rainbow", "Cousin Vladimir" ( une réunion familiale!), "Juanita the ...

Molly's Breakfast (Molly Bear Board Book)2 reviews
Annick Press, 1997
Adorable little book for babies & preschoolers
I first received a few Molly Bear Board Books as a baby gift when my second was born and my first child was 2 years old. I received Molly's Breakfast book, but we lost it, so I ordered another one. My children are tickled about Molly's Breakfast. These books completely appeal to both of my children. The soft but colorful drawings,one word descriptions and the fact the book is small enough for ...

Imagine You're a Pirate! (Imagine This!)2 reviews
Meg Clibbon
Annick Press, 2002
Cute and Light Hearted
Factual content is nearly non-existent, but so what; this is a very fun book. The artwork is bright and glittery, styled in the manner of something drawn by a grade school child. The text makes light of the pirate life, while not making it seem like fun and games (rule number one of the Pirate Code is Never be kind to children). The content is laced with the various myths of pirate life, ...

Delightful!
My 6 year old daughter and I were enchanted. After the first reading, she started carrying this book around with her, looking for favorite pages, like the one with the yummy-looking recipe for Fairy Bars. Charming illustrations inspire a feeling of glitter and fairy dust on every page. It begins with a brief statement that fairies are made out of the imagination. The rest of the book ...
