my son insisted we read it five times in a row
I bought this book for my son's fourth birthday. We sat down to read it at bedtime, and he was completely riveted. When we finished, he said "read it again, Mommy." We went through this four more times, then I had to promise we'd read it again the next day in order to get him to go to sleep.
The story is gripping, and the artwork is amazing. Switching between color and black/white for ...

I read this book to my kids in the late 70's and am now reading it to my grandkids who love it....I always get hungry after reading it...that bread sounds so good! The illustrations are perfect as well.

But No Elephants
This book is a childhood favorite for my three grown children. We cherish the one copy we have so I set out to order copies for all three children. This book is short and sweet with a cute story and great pictures. I treasure the memories I have of reading this book to my children.

The Ice-Cream Cone Coot and Other Rare Birds7 reviews
Arnold Lobel
Parents' Magazine Press, 1971
Funniest Children's Book
I like this book because of the Ice Cream Cone Coot and all of the other funny birds. My grandmom has a copy of this book and we read it whenever we come to her house. It was my mom's book when she was a little girl. And now it's my grandmom's book.
That's all.

This book still brings a smile to my face every time!
I am one of 5 siblings who adored this book as a child. Twenty years later, as adults, we are all fighting over who gets to keep it! I will have to purchase more! So far, I am the only one with a child. My 3 year old son LOVES this book! The black and white drawings are lovely and are not cartoonish versions of animals, they look more realistic. There are many opportunities to learn about ...

Ultra-violet catastrophe! Or, The unexpected walk with Great-Uncle Magnus Pringle4 reviews
Margaret Mahy
Parents' Magazine Press, 1975
Seismological Singularity!
A beautiful wonderful book of my youth. You may remember author Margaret Mahy from her fabulous young adult novels like, "The Changeover" or "The Haunting". You may remember illustrator Brian Froud from Terry Jones's delightfully twisted, "Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book". Back in 1975, these two artists in their fields worked together to create a book accomplished the mighty task of ...

Glad it's back!
I loved this book as a kid and have been searching libraries and used book stores for it so my own kids could enjoy it, too. Finally it has been reprinted and it is exactly the same story and illustrations. My kids love it.

Me and My Flying Machine,5 reviews

Parents' Magazine Press, 1971
A Very Wonderful & Heartwarming Story!
I remember reading this book over and over as a small child. I read it so many times that I wore out the binder on the book. It's a story of a small boy and how he builds a flying machine out of scrapes and paints it with all the colors he can find in the family shed and takes off on an adventure around the world. I would love to find this book and keep it around for future generations to ...

We LOVE this book! It was a gift from my baby shower and I just ordered 2 more for other new mom friends. The rhymes are fantastic, and the good-behavior lesson is a bonus!!

Life Lessons
This was one of the books I read over and over as a child. I loved the story of Miss Twiggley and her friends, the bears. She was different and shy. That was wrong, according to the towns people. Yet, when the storms came, she found the courage to do what was right and forgive. I learned lessons from this story that I still remember as an adult. There is something wonderfully unique about ...

Miss Suzy1 review
Miriam Young

Brought back good memories....
I read this when I was a little girl and loved it...it was comforting somehow. Miss Suzy is a sweet little homebody squirrel--gets run out of her home--but her friends save it for her in the end...just as it should be. Very nice--brought back sweet memories.
