One of the best childrens' books I've read in years! It encorporates strong morals (you be anything you want to be), family values, and even has a little song for the frog to sing so your children can sing along with the characters. Excellent

Bravo, Maurice!2 reviews
Rebecca Bond

Megan Tingley, 2000

Reader from Baltimore

+ Wonderful book!

Bravo Maurice is as charming as Bond's last book, Just Like A Baby. The illustrations are similar and the story equally as sweet and touching. Bravo Maurice seems to be geared towards older children- the 7-8 age range, compared to her last book, which the younger kids liked. My family and I are ...

Amelia Bedelia in show business? What could possibly go wrong?

+ Very cute book!

Amelia Bedelia is going to help out in an orchestra, and a chorus of laughter is sure to result! In her usual fashion, our wonderfully confused friend is on the job, messing things all up with the finest of intentions. The cheerful illustrations add to the young readers's fascination with ...

What a nice book for any educator that sings in their classroom. Great for any elementary age student. Basically, the book lets you know that anyone can sing with a little help. It may take a little longer than others, but don't shy away from your dreams and goals! Wonderful little book!
  
  











  



  
Jake the Philharmonic Dog1 review
Karen LeFrak

Walker Books for Young Readers, 2006

Pascale's Dog Review

The book Jake the Philharmonic Dog, in my opinion, could be about a real dog and a real band. I really think that Jake the Dog is sweet. It seems that he really doesn't like thunder, but he likes dog biscuits. I think his owner is really nice to him -- that's why I like this book!

I have some old curtains in my basement, and you have your Mom's old gown--Let's Put on a Show!
