The Haunted School will give you-- goosebumps!
"The Haunted School" is the first Goosebumps I ever read, even though I have gathered quite a collection of books in the Goosebumps series for the library. I am the librarian in a small elementary/middle school. The Goosebumps books are the most checked out books in our collection. Now that I have read one, I know why!
Children as young as Kindergarten and as old as middle school read ...

great deal!
I purchased this "used in good condition" and that is exactly what I received in the time frame given. This was a good deal since I was able to buy all seven books at a very reasonable price, nearly the same if I were to just get the first 6 books of the series.

I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, but I must say I did delay ordering this book. I just didnt think a new cover and a few extras was worth the price. Now, having seen the pictures put up by others, I am so glad I did order it! I think the new cover looks gorgeous and cant wait for Amazon to ship my order! (I am in NZ and so have selected for all my books to arrive in 1 shipment to save on postage. ...

My first goosebump that started my reading of the series
Unlike most kids, I didn't start reading the goosebump books at a young age. I had book-a-phobia! I was twelve when I first read this book and that's when I decided to read the series. It's a surprising and unpredictable book with great charectors. I love how Sarah is a little scared of camp, and I can relate. But my favorite character is Della, the ghost. I like the "ghost world" that Sarah ...

Gotta catch 'em ALL!
Allrightythen...first things first. For those parents who might still not be in the know, Pokemon is Nintendo's blockbuster videogame/TV series/movie/book/toy mega-multimedia franchise. Debuting in the mid-90's, Pokemon (short for Pocket Monsters) has become one of the most thoroughly developed and complex alternate-reality worlds in multimedia gaming. Both of my kids (ages 7 and 12) can't get ...

The Fluent Reader: Oral Reading Strategies for Building Word Recognition, Fluency, and Comprehension12 reviews
Timothy V. Rasinski
Scholastic, Inc., 2003
The Fluent Reader
The Fluent Reader is Rasinski's definitive work on the subject. It is a book that should be on every grade school teacher's shelf. The strategies developed in this book are applicable to any age or grade level. Since fluency is directly correlated with comprehension, it is imperative that children learn to read fluently as soon as they know how to decode. This book shows how to make that happen!

Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars) 1 review
Ryder Windham
Scholastic Inc., 2008
Different stages of Obi-Wan's life
This is a decent book for young readers who may or may not be familiar with the many adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The book encompasses his adventures based on the films and on Expanded Universe tales. All in all, a quick and interesting read. However, some of the "adventures" come right out of the movies, with the dialogue written verbatim; that was a bit tedious, but was only apparent during ...

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat!5 reviews
Lucille Colandro
Scholastic Inc., 2005
Great Halloween version of an old favorite!
This is a funny and easy-to-read picture book with hilarious illustrations, perfect for the 3-6 year-old in your life. My son and I read this together at least 10 times, and he still remembers it fondly. The one to two sentences per page read with an easy cadence that makes the book flow, very like the original Old Lady story. Great Halloween reading!

Good for my 4 y.o. son
I really enjoyed reading this book via video from Iraq to my son. My parents said that he watched the video of me reading this book over and over. He really likes the book, of course because of Clifford, but most especially because I read it to him. I think if you read to your child, they'll learn more and have priceless memories. And what better way to spend time reading, than with a book ...
