The Judy Moody Mood Journal1 review
Megan McDonald
Walker Books Ltd, 2007
Cute journal, funny, promotes writing.
This book has mostly writing pages with a quote from the book and a picture on every page. I think it promotes both writing and reading. Definitely a good book to have to complete a collection of Megan McDonald's Books.

Eagle Strike.88 reviews
Anthony Horowitz
Walker Books Ltd., 2003
A Review for a Very Good Book
"Eagle Strike" is an amazing book. I have read it many times and every time it is just as intense as the time before. The book is very well-written, with graphic descriptions and intense sequences where you don't know what is going to happen next.
Alex Rider's resourcefulness is amazing and definitely very handy in tight spots, such as the time when he took wire and half a spear and tied ...

Quiet Loud14 reviews

Fun book for toddlers
My daughter loved the Yummy/Yucky book, and now enjoys the Quiet/Loud book as well (of course she likes the Loud better than the Quiet). Fun illustrations and simple concepts would be appreciated by almost any child.

Greek Myths1 review
Marcia Williams
Walker Books Ltd, 2006
Great Introduction to Greek Myths
My almost-[...] boys love to pore over the illustrations in this book and seem never to tire of it -- often bringing it along in the car with them. They love to hear the stories and giggle over the often humorous way they are portrayed. It is in comic book format, and though it often abbreviates the story, gets the children interested in and familiar with the Greek Myths. The reading level is ...

Empathy for Moms
After ranting on the phone to a friend about my life with twin toddlers, she sent this book to me as a gift. What a gift! It was a huge hit for the whole family! It made me laugh because it captured my exasperation with mothering toddlers in an honest and humorous way. My girls loved Jill Murphy's amusing illustrations and the funny chaos that the Large kids create. And most importantly, ...

Yummy Yucky44 reviews
Leslie Patricelli
Walker Books Ltd, 2004
Hilarious for parents & big sis
My younger child received Yummy/Yucky, Quiet/Loud and Big/Little as baby gifts. At 9 months, he is still more interested in eating books (yucky!) than reading them. His big sister, 3-1/2 yrs, is too old for them...EXCEPT when she is "reading" (i.e., "reciting") them to her baby bro. All three books are PERFECT for trying to pique his interest in books (reading them, that is) and making reading ...

The Iliad and the Odyssey 4 reviews
Marcia Williams
Walker Books Ltd, 2006
Hi
I would just like to say to the earlier review this book is not meant to be a school textbook. It is not supposed to be a wonderful introduction to the Iliad and the Odyssey. Marcia Williams books are just for fun, it is just a bonus that you children can get the basic story line of a classic. I would highly recommend any of Marcia Williams books.

The Mousehole Cat (Book & CD)10 reviews
Antonia Barber
Walker Books Ltd, 2006
One of the most perfect children's books I know
This is an extraordinary book. Antonia Barber has produced a superb story, based on the legend of the Cornish village of Mousehole. Tom is an old fisherman who lives with Mowzer, his cat, who is also aging gracefully. Their lives--organized around fish, firesides, milk, and scratching of ears--fill the first few pages, and then the Great Storm-Cat arrives, howling around the harbor and ...

a book depicting urban sprawl, an excellent lesson in pictur
This is an excellent wordless picture book that depicts urban sprawl from outside and inside a boys bedroom window. It is appropriate for children of all ages and can prompt some great discussions on environmental topics. It is poinant without any preachiness. This would be an excellent book to introduce an environmental education lesson!!!!

I Know Why I Brush My Teeth (Sam's Science)1 review
Kate Rowan
Walker Books Ltd, 2000
I Know Why I Brush My Teeth
This book tells about your teeth, and to brush and keep them clean. An excellent, rather a "wordy" book about teeth - lots of facts included. Contains color illustrations and I would recommend this one to K through the 4th grade. Also recommended reading for parents and teachers.

Don't miss out on this one
This is the cutest book. All the kids just love it, from 1-5 years. You can sing the words to the book to the song "Skip to my lou" There is a cute little white mouse hiding on every page. The kids can't get enough of it!

The Big Wide-mouthed Frog2 reviews
Ana Martin Larranaga
Walker Books Ltd, 2003
one of the most fun to read aloud
My two year old squeals in delight when I read this tale of a pushy frog who asks too many questions. It's a great opportunity for an imaginative adult to try out different voices for the various animals. (I suggest a Foghorn Leghorn style voice for the frog.) Again, Daddy!

Once Upon a Time...4 reviews
Nick Sharratt
Walker Books Ltd, 2007
Entertaining, interactive and interesting
There is something unique and special about this book. As a volunteer who reads one-on-one to preschoolers, I have observed that, when choosing from an array of age-appropriate books, the children, boys and girls alike, invariably choose "Once Upon A Time" as the story they want to hear first. They love being able to make the choices that will make "their story" unique. They expand their ...
