Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets (Collectors' Edition) 54 reviews
Dav Pilkey
The Blue Sky Press, 2007
Fun story
My five year old received the first in the series as a gift from our local library and was instantly hooked. Dav Pilkey is clever and hilarious and just the right "bathroom humor" that young boys think is so funny. He can't read them himself quite yet so my husband and I get to enjoy the break into the silliness too.

Three cute stories to scare you on Halloween
"Dragon's Halloween" contains three stories all about Dragon and, what else, Halloween. Some things are meant to be.
We know this is a good dragon before even opening the book. How? See on the cover? Watch the mama cat and her five young cats. They surround Dragon in friendship.
Turn the page and Story 1 begins: "Six Small Pumpkins." Dragon is going about his collection of one giant ...

Dumb Bunnies' Easter20 reviews
Sue Denim
The Blue Sky Press, 1995
Funniest book I have ever read
I ordered a lot of Pilkey titles because kids love his Captain Underpants series, which is one of our favorite early chapter book series. Anything I can do to get some of these kids to sit with a book is worth it. When I first read this, I was screaming with laughter and woke up a few of our patrons. Once I caught my breath, I had to share it with my staff. Sue D. Nim is now my favorite ...

Attack of the Volcano Monkeys (Ordinary Basil)5 reviews
Wiley Miller
The Blue Sky Press, 2008
A book of imagination!
I was lucky enough to get one of the first copies of "Attack of the Volcano Monkeys". I thought the book was very interesting and imaginative. I have read "Extraordinary adventures of Ordinary Basil" also, again with this new book we read it as a family. However, I finished the last few chapters of this book by myself. In this book, Helios isn't the place, Monkey Island is where all the action ...

The Deep Blue Sea: A Book Of Colors5 reviews
Audrey Wood
The Blue Sky Press, 2005
A hit with our 1 year old!
This book is fun to read; it is rhythmic and the story builds page by page. It's different than most children's books: big, simple, crisp and bright (computer generated?). My son gives a little giggle when we pull it out.

How Do Dinosaurs Play With Their Friends31 reviews
Jane Yolen
The Blue Sky Press, 2006
I Love This Series!
I bought about 4 of the books in this series for my nephew for Christmas. The illustrations are fantastic and the stories are clever. I personally thought all of them were cute, but my favorite one to read to him is "How Does a Dinosaur Say I Love You".

Make Way For Dumb Bunnies (pob)8 reviews
Dav Pilkey
The Blue Sky Press, 2007
A Great Find for the Right Audience!
The type and level of humor in this very funny book is shown in the first four pages: 1. "Early one morning, the Bumb Bunnies were spending some quality time apart (picture of house)". 2. "Poppa Bunny was watching the Super Bowl (bunny with football helmet eating popcorn and watching BOWLING on TV)." 3. "Momma Bunny was watching the Orange Bowl (bunny watching a bowl of oranges while spilling a ...

I would recommend
My son loves these books! They make him laugh. I have purchased all of the Ready Freddy Books published so far and will continue to do so. He is 8 years old and they seem like the reading level is made for children his age.

Boy Who Went Ape2 reviews
Benjamin James Watson
The Blue Sky Press, 2008
Stop That Benjamin!
A delightful story for children of all ages. Benjamin James Watson keeps the story lively and interesting. I'm sure that every person that reads this book will be able to find a touch of Benjamin in some energetic child in their life and at some point they will come across a Ms. Thunderbum with her loud exclamations of "Stop That, Benjamin!" The illustrations done by Richard Jesse Watson are ...

Yikes Bikes! (Ready, Freddy!)4 reviews

Fantastic Childrens Series
Our son is 7 and in the 1st grade. He absolutely loves these books. Each one is a different story but with the same characters. He can read them, but usually we read them to him. We usually read one chapter a night before bedtime. But as another reviewer said, we get so caught up in the story that we read on to see what will happen next. They are good clean books with everyday kid experiences.

Super-secret Valentine (Ready, Freddy!)2 reviews

Ready, Freddy Rocks!
My 2nd grade son loves all of the Ready Freddy! books. The stories really speak to him. Super Secret Valentine was one I thought he might turn his nose up at because of the subject matter, but that was not the case at all. He was more interested in this one than some of the others. We also love Junie B. Jones & Magic Treehouse.

Ready, Freddy! #6: Help! A Vampire's Coming!4 reviews
Abby Klein
The Blue Sky Press, 2005
Great for night time fears
My six year old son enjoys Ready, Freddy! but I was hesitant to purchase this title because I was afraid it would cause nightmares. To my delight, quite the opposite happened after we read it. Freddy tries different ways to stop his nightmares and, in the end, he discovers the Dream Police. The police are three of his stuffed animals. My son loved this and now brings his Dream Police to bed and ...

Living Sunlight: How Plants Bring The Earth To Life4 reviews
Molly Bang, Penny Chisholm
The Blue Sky Press, 2009
Simple, FUN science for the young child (photosynthesis)
Every child has a long list of "whys." Some questions are easy for a parent to answer while others, such as those in the scientific department take a bit more thought. Why do we have light? Why are plants important? What would happen if there were no plants on earth? Holly Bang and Penny Chisholm have teamed up to explain the concept of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is a very complex ...

Enjoyable story, and very nice pictures. It also prompted my son to ask questions about the greed of the baker and which led to a discussion of what people value.

Ready Freddy Books
I am a first grade teacher and enjoy doing read alouds. The Ready Freddy books are perfect for that. My students love them! Boys and girls alike enjoy every page listening contently and waiting for what happens next. They get excited waiting day to day for the next chapter. It keeps them in suspense. They completely related to this book since 100's Day is a big deal at our school. We have all ...
