The Monster At The End Of This Book A Little Golden Book2 reviews

Western Publishing Company, 1971

Great, classic book

+ Loved it as a kid

I was delighted to see this book still in print. Totally forgot about it until I saw it at a store recently.. I LOVED it as a kid, and any kid will continue to do so (especially with a well-animated reader) Grover's begs and pleads for you not to continue will ensure that it gets read to the end.

Jack and the Beanstalk (Wishbone-The Early Year)1 review
Brad Strickland, Thomas E. Fuller, ...

Big Red Chair Books, 1999

My second grade son's favorite book

I highly recommend this book for parents who think their kids are ready to try reading on their own. My son rates this book above the Magic Tree House series and surprisingly above the Pokemon books by Tracey West. I wish they would get on the ball and put out more Wishbone The Early Years books.
