The Velveteen Rabbit 133 reviews Margery Williams
HarperCollins, 1999
Wonderful surprise
+ Wonderful! + Thanks
I bought what I thought was a just used copy of the Velveteen Rabbit board book and I got a book that was as good as new that was signed by the illustrator. What a surprise and a delight. I am hoping it becomes the first in a collection of classic books in my granddaughter's library. Thank you.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day 217 reviews Judith Viorst
Atheneum, 1987
A favorite
+ A Must for Every Bookshelf + Across the generations...
When a young boy is frustrated, treated unfairly or suffers from bad luck, he can turn to this book for comfort and a grin. The pictures are fun, the writing is very good and the story line is great. This is the title that got my 6 and 7 year olds hooked on Judith Viorst and other Alexander books.
