If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Big Book (If You Give...) 120 reviews
Laura Joffe Numeroff
HarperTrophy, 1996
Absolutely charming for ALL ages!
BOTTOM LINE:
Numeroff does it again!
Anyone who gives this less than 4 stars is a soulless android. There is NOTHING to not like about this book in a series of 'If you give a ...'! It is laugh out loud funny, great to read, and the pictures are cute and hilarious! The story has a nice touch of irony without forcing a MESSAGE.
I think its wonderful to have a children's book that is so ...

The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles 30th Anniversary Edition255 reviews
Julie Andrews Edwards
HarperTrophy, 1989
A delightful tale
I would say that I'm very much like Professor Savant. I need a dose of the imagination of a child to help me along the way. The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles was the kind of book I would have loved reading as a child. I would have read it over and over again savoring each nuance of color and flavor that this book has to offer. As an adult, I feel that there are some lessons in the story ...

In her novel Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine adds a whole new twist to the familiar story of Cinderella. With the use of point of view, characterizations and themes, ...

Warriors #1: Into the Wild (summer reading) (Warriors)224 reviews
Erin Hunter
HarperTrophy, 2007
Not just for kids! Very Emotional!
As an adult, I feel that I have to tell you that this series will pull you in and make it extremely hard to put down. This is an emotional series where you get to know the characters and you will laugh, cry, get mad, and hope. Don't laugh, but I actually cried as I read the last few lines of this first series because it was like saying goodbye to all my friends. (At that time, the New Prophecy ...

Where the Wild Things Are345 reviews
HarperTrophy, 1984
Heirloom Stuff!
After having read a copy of this to my oldest grandson, and having the pages worn and dog eared, I had to buy one each for my other 2 grandsons. They are as mesmerized as the 1st was. Can't get enough of it. Fascinated by the little boy's antics. Constantly amused.

Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story (Avon Camelot Books)151 reviews
Mary Downing Hahn
HarperTrophy, 1987
A childhood favorite
When I was younger I was pretty much obsessed with this book. As in I was the dorky girl that checked it out from the elementary school library over and over again in a most obsessive fashion.
But why not? Not all adult horror writers always turn their talent to children's literature for a book or two. So why can't children have a truly scary book guaranteed to send shivers up the spine? ...

Much better than "The Secret Garden"
This book reminds me a lot of "The Secret Garden" without being quite as preachy and overly descriptive. My two daughters absolutely love this book and consider it one of their favorites.

Harold and the Purple Crayon 50th Anniversary Edition (Purple Crayon Books)145 reviews
Crockett Johnson
HarperTrophy, 1981
amazing book!
this is one of those books where not only do the children in my life enjoy this book, but i do as well. for a kid's book, it's pretty existential. A boy goes through this world where nothing exists and with his purple crayon, creates his world. What makes it more than just a kids book, what gives it the philosophical premise is that even though harold starts the story with this crayon, and has ...

Best Christmas Pagaent Ever
I purchased this book simply to replace my original copy, which I loaned out and which was never returned. Reading this book has been a favorite part of my Christmas for many years. While I regret losing my old copy, I am thankful I will now be able to carry on this tradition.

A pretty sweet book on uniqueness
As a teacher, I would always share this book with my new class on their first day of school. Its magic worked like a charm. I like to start off the year by letting kids know that their uniqueness is to be celebrated, not made fun of. Chrysanthemum is the perfect example. She enters school, wrapped in the love of her attentive parents, who have always told her that her unique name is perfect, ...
