Harpercollins Childrens Books, 2004

Booklover........
The books by Lemonity Snicket are wonderful. They are stories that keep you reading. I have enjoyed reading them. They are stories about three young children who lost their parents in a fire and are sent to different places to live. The first place was with a distant relative....who is Count Olaf. From then on there have been many more places they have had to live and exciting but unfortunate ...

best book
I would give this book five stars. It is one of the best books I've ever read and I could not put it down. The story was captivating and it made you feel like you were another character watching this story unfold. You are so in touch with the characters emotions that certian points in the book don't really hit you until you see how she is hit by it. Over all this is my favorite book and I ... 		  
  







  
  
Caps for Sale66 reviews

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 2001

As much song as story.
This makes the top ten list out of all the great picture books we read to our kids when they were young. I never tired of reading it. So simple, symmetric, even musical. The story? How does the peddler get the monkeys to give back all the caps they've stolen from him and carried up into the tree? Okay, I'm the publisher of One Monkey Books, so call me biased. But try this one on your three ...

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.

Jan Brett Night Before Christmas
I LOVE Jan Brett's books! I buy them anytime I see them whether on sale, old ones on Amazon as remainders, or new.. They make great gifts. I have a backup of many to give to children, particularly my granddaughters. The illustrations in this one are so beautiful it is really a keepsake to save as well as enjoy. Give it as a gift and you will make some child very happy and a parent happy,too. 		  
  







  
  
Falling Up63 reviews
Shel Silverstein

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 2003

ALWAYS A JOY TO READ.
To be frank, I get a kick out of Silverstein's work. It is always a bit quirky, always takes a couple of readings to really "get," and is very entertaining while being quite insightful as to human nature. This work is no different from his other works, same quality, same odd way of looking at life, same delightful black and white drawings. Publisher's Weekly got it pretty right here, in their ...

The King Who Rained16 reviews
Fred Gwynne

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1973

Another kid classic
Yet another fine book of play-on-words from Fred Gwynne. Kids love the pictures that literally illustrate the text, and these books usually have us a giggling hysterically. I'm on the lookout for "A Little Pigeon-Toad" and "The Sixteen Hand Horse". 		  
  







  
  
Marshmallow18 reviews
Clare Turlay Newberry

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1990

Sweet children's book
I love this book! Children are captivated by the simple familiar characters so clearly described. The story line is sweet and well written, NOT "dumbed down". There are lots of words on most pages and it takes more than a minute to read which is so helpful in developing attention span. My three year old was taken in completely! ( Not to mention my seven year old!)

Dark and Magical
Witch baby the book stands out among the other works in the Dangerous Angels series just as Witch Baby the character does from her colourful, sparkling, and seemingly wonderful almost-family in glittering LA. The story of Witch Baby is written from the point of view of a mysterious, elf-like little girl with a dark, secretive, and magical nature about her. She lives in a world of family, ... 		  
  







  
  
Where's Wallace22 reviews
Hilary Knight

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1964

my all time favorite book growing up
When I was pregnant with my son, I searched for this book. When I was growing up, my Mom would read Where's Wallace to my siblings and I every night. We couldn't get anough of it. I was so excited to find it still in print. Finding Wallace on every page, as well as other recurring characters, was one of the highlights of my childhood, and although my son is only 1 1/2 now, I hope it will be of ... 		  
  







  
  
The Fire Cat (I Can Read Book)19 reviews
Esther Averill

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1983

My daughter's first real chapter book
My daughter (she's six) just finished reading this book herself, out loud to me at bedtime. It took her four or five nights to read the three short chapters. In the middle of the book, when Pickles the cat has a small triumph, she said "it makes me cry!" and at the end she said "I wish it just kept going". I felt so glad for her to have the experience of what it's like to read a good book - ...

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1996

Bring back these books!
My three children (6, 4, and 1) have grown up with Ba Ba Ha Ha and Oooh Oooh Moo. My older children read these books now to my baby, and he loves the books as much as my older kids. These are the perfect books for infants, and they're part of a handful of books that my older kids still remember and love. I was searching for these books for my friend's baby, and am terribly dissapointed that ... 		  
  







  
  
The Tall Book of Make-Believe18 reviews
Jane Werner, Garth Williams

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1992

the BEST BOOK EVER !!!!!!!!!
Several years ago, I remembered that I read it as a child, and went looking in the attic, the basement, all over. When I finally found it, it was tattered, pages missing, etc. I checked Amazon, ebay and other used book websites, and finally found a very decent copy for $55.00. Don't give up- keep checking and a copy will turn up. I am 56 years old still reading it (it's the best ... 		  
  







  
  
The Three Billy Goats Gruff13 reviews
Jonathan Langley, Peter Christen Asbjornsen

Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1998

One of my boys' favorites!
Cute book with pictures that keep their attention. My boys walk around all the time saying "who is going over my bridge" in their gruff little troll voice! "Don't eat me... I too little," they say. I am so glad I added this book to our collection.
