This was an interesting story since the characters weren't actually magical and just basically based around one type of animal (I hadn't read this one when I was little). Basically the story is short, sweet and easy to read.

I would have to say this is one of the most beautifully illustrated books...

Mr Scarry's books are always 'busy' so if you have a child that gets overwhelmed easily then you might pick something different for them to look at or to read to them. For those that can tolerate lots of action and illustrations per page then this is a fun book. The poor firefighters start their day out to...

Review: I gave it 3 stars because it tells a story about underwear however it doesn't have an educational value to it, nor does it really have purpose.
Summary: Zachary the Zebra and Orfo the Orangutan loves underwear and they go to grassland underwear fair. They buy lots of underwear and wear them...

I want to be a Hermit Crab.



No mortgages, just move when you want a new dwelling and take it over. I like that. Pagoo (short for 'Pagurus') is a Hermit Crab. When he is born, he is no bigger than a tiny pencil dot.



When you start life like that, the odds are not good. But...

Having read about Oscar in James Herriot’s Cat Stories, I wanted to see if the delightful story could be improved in any way as a picture book. It definitely is a treasure. The story has been trimmed to focus on how a lost cat was adopted by the Herriot’s only to be reclaimed by its owners, yet there is...

Caleb the carpenter and Kate the weaver loved each other, but not every single minute. Once in a while they'd differ about this or that and wind up in such a fierce quarrel you'd never believe they were husband and wife.

Wouldn't I? Oh, William Steig, you have such a rosy (yet not implausible) view...

Once, a long time ago, my father gave me a copy of this book. It’s a story about a mother kangaroo who doesn’t have a pouch to carry her joey with. So, starts her adventure searching about for a way.

If a story stayed with you, even decades have gone by, maybe there's a very good reason or a...

Now, let me say from the start that, having read Jan Brett's version first, I prefer it. And unless your home library is enormous, you probably don't need both books. However, as the comments here show, many people prefer this version, which predates Brett's version by quite a while. If you can get your...

I'm giving this five stars because my six-year-old self absolutely LOVED this book! I was infatuated with everything about it, from the food little rabbit ate while waiting for her tooth to come out, to the way it got stuck in her chocolate ice cream, to the ideas she had of what to do with it after, to her...

Even though I knew what the little baby bunny chose to be when he grew up, I would ask for this book to be read again and again. An absolute favorite!

My 7 year old and I just can't get enough of our favorite dumb bunnies family. These books never get old and are, indeed, extremely silly. Each one is a treasure and I have strict instructions from my little Dav Pilkey fan to never, under penalty of death, donate these to any charity, no matter how worthy....

One of my favorite books as a child. I never had my own copy but would borrow it from the library and renew all the time. I had not read it for over 25 years and today I came across a copy at my local library's annual used book sale. It brought tears to my eyes to see it again!
It is a heartwarming story and it...

Haha, don't try to make this one rhyme, it won't work. I kept trying with the first few sentences and realized it just wasn't going to happen. So yes, Peet deviated from his norm but the story is Peet through and through.

Ages: 4 - 8

I love reading novels to my children, especially when they are ones that promote more reading to my kids, because they relate to something that they already know and enjoy- like a popular kid's TV show. However, I have found that the older my son gets, the more he's beginning to realize when they just don't...

Oh, how her liked that old brown hat!
