Meet Kit: An American Girl 1934
| Author | Valerie Tripp |
| ISBN | 1584850167 |
Somehow, I worked as a children's librarian for 5 years without reading an American Girl book. Not once. I handed plenty of them out, however, and knew all about the dolls and the wardrobe of matching accessories that seemed more like a cult than a collection. The stories sounded like nice, wholesome...
Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus
| Author | Barbara Park |
| ISBN | 0679826424 |
I have heard so much about how great these books are so we decided to check them out. I can't think of a single thing from this book that was a "good example" for the kids. None of the people say anything kind or helpful. Many things are described as "stupid, "hate," and "dumb." My kids don't talk that way .....

| ISBN | 0375802940 |
As a retired elementary teacher, I know young children really enjoy the Junie B book series. They are full of humor and contain stories and events that Pre-K through second grade children can relate.

This has been my favourite kids Bible so far. It actually users the text of the Bible, rather than trying to retell the story itself. It uses the NIRV, which is pretty good. It still leaves out chunks of the stories.
The pictures are also good, and very engaging for kids.
