Goosebumps: The Haunted School (Goosebumps) 27 reviews
R L Stine
Scholastic Inc., 2005
Mason's Favorite Book
I adore Goosebumps because I like scary books. The best parts are the funny parts. I get frightened and put the book down and stare at the wall, thinking why am I scared. That's why I give this book 5 stars.

Great Book
We got this book for my five year old because he loves Pokemon. It was a great book for me too. I learned a lot about how the world of Pokemon works. I would recommend it to others that want to know more about them.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)3588 reviews
J. K. Rowling
Scholastic, Inc., 2005
Amazing - it keeps getting better!
It really does keep getting better - every new book becomes my new favorite. Favorite scene: Felix Felicis/Slughorn/Harry gets the memory. And of course the kiss. And the cave. And pretty much the whole book. The death scene was the most devastating thing I have ever read. You really become emotionally invested in the characters. For the first time ever, I started re-reading the book immediately ...

Captain Underpants And The Preposterous Plight Of The Purple Potty People 20 reviews
Dav Pilkey
Scholastic Inc., 2006
Pilkey's Purple Potty People prevail!
My 8-year-old loved it. Funny without being unkind. Laugh with, not at. Sure, there are some pranks, but essentially harmless. Also my 17-year-old loved it, and yes, my 42-year-old wife loved it. And I got a great deal of entertainment, also. Buy it and have fun!!

Sinnoh Handbook (Pokemon)7 reviews

Great Pokemon "dictionary"
I ordered this book for my 6-year-old son who is really into Pokemon at the moment. He absolutely loves this book.
The book features many of the most popular Pokemon, gives a brief summary of their abilities and even states their height, weight and possible moves.
What's best about this book for me as a mother is that my son, a first-grader, practices his reading without me asking him too, ...

Cypher The Mountain Giant (Beast Quest)1 review
Adam Blade

My first grader loves these books
I have a 1st grader who reads at the 4th grade level. While his reading skills are great, he is still only 6 and his topics of interest are ...well, the interests of a 6-year-old boy. My son LOVES this series. He curls up with them and reads them on his own, and yet still loves to have them read aloud. Best of all, his dad and I don't mind reading them aloud --- we love them too.

Being a children's writer and educator, I often recommend reading to my son and my students. This book mesmerized my students for hours. They kept quoting unusual things held within its pages. There were many amazing things on every page that allow the reader to come back latter and experience it all ...

The Fluent Reader: Oral Reading Strategies for Building Word Recognition, Fluency, and Comprehension8 reviews
Timothy V. Rasinski
Scholastic, Inc., 2003
Fantastic and so practical!
The book was given to me by my principal and after reading the first chapter I gave it back so I could buy my own. This is a book every elementary teacher should own and refer to on a regular basis. It has enough theory to it to support its findings without slowing down the reading. Most of the book has practical suggestions and methods to use in the classroom. I have been so motivated by ...

Wonderful Wonder Emporium
I ordered this as a class set for my second graders to read. We did a book study (reading, grammar, spelling). This is a wonderfully written book. It was so descriptive that my students were able to do some awesome visualizations (illustrations of what was read) to put up in our classroom. We ended our study unit with a trip to see the movie. My students loved the book and felt very grown up ...

Wuthering Heights (Apple Classics)493 reviews
Emily Bronte
Scholastic Inc., 1961
Not bad, not bad at all...
I was kind of skeptical of this book in the beginning, after all, a book that has like three generations of families, half of them with the same name is really confusing. In addition, it seemed that I could find any good characters in this book. Even the main character has faults that I would look down upon. This book centers around the revenge of the main character Heathcliff. After trudging ...

Educatioal and Well Written
What a FUN book! My two-year-old son loves this book and I love to read it to him. The words have a great cadence and I find myself singing each page! The pictures are very primitive which is nice (no sensory overload) and it helps young children to learn their alphabet. The story is super cute and the author uses great imagery. Although the illustrations are primitive, you can imagine these ...
