The Outlaws of Sherwood

Author	Robin McKinley
ISBN	0441013252

3.5 stars. I've owned a paperback copy of The Outlaws of Sherwood, a retelling of the Robin Hood folktale, for ages, dating back to the days when I was auto-buying everything Robin McKinley wrote. It's a very different type of book for her: a straightforward historical novel - no fantasy elements at all...

Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination

Author

The definitive, fascinating, all-reaching biography of Dr. Seuss.

Thunder Cave

Author	Roland Smith
ISBN	0786811595

At first I honestly wasn't sure what to make of this book. On one hand I was intrigued by it because I've read very few (if any!) books set in Kenya specifically, but on the other hand I'd heard from other readers that the story was very silly and lame. Luckily it was the exact opposite. The author clearly did...

The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me

Author	Roald Dahl
ISBN	0140568190

A short story about a Giraffe, Pelican and Monkey who open up a ladderless window cleaning company, who become friendly with a small boy called Billy. It's full of all the Dahlian humour and whimsy and nonsense, but like always it has a nice serious edge to it.

Very charming, though definitely...
