And I Mean It, Stanley
AuthorCrosby Newell Bonsall
I see appealing similarities to the works of Mercer Mayer and Ezra Jack Keats in And I Mean It, Stanley, and that's a positive for any children's book. Featuring two narratives occupying the frame at the same time (a girl talking to her unseen friend, and an alley cat stalking an elusive bird), this book...

The Lonely Scarecrow
AuthorTim Preston
ISBN0525460802
While reading this, hearing that the scarecrow is out in the field through all the seasons, I wonder why he’s left out like that. It seems that they’d only be out in the fall, but I’m not a farmer, and have never had a scarecrow out to keep birds away, so maybe they leave them out all year?

Wanted: The Perfect Pet
AuthorFiona Roberton
ISBN0670073563
This was a wonderful sweet book until I noticed something that was just not right. The boy writes a list of why a Duck is a good pet and on that list is "Spare feathers can be used to build indian headdresses..." Why did this have to be included on the list? It's culturally insensitive and reinforces a bad outdated...

i don't think i really understand this book. it seems to be teaching children that people are going to be annoying throughout your life and there's really nothing you can do about it. which is an important one,as far as lessons go, but i think the author had a different goal; i just think it ended up being...
The Gym Teacher from the Black Lagoon
AuthorMike Thaler
ISBN0590479172
I remember really loving the silliness of these tales as a kid. Granted, I read these in a time where our principal would threaten to, "string you up by your toes and hang you from the basketball hoops" if we were misbehaving, so my sense of what was okay to joke about and what was not may have already been a...
