Anastasia: The Last Grand Duchess, Russia, 1914
AuthorCarolyn Meyer

This was the book that launched my love affair with Russia. I read it at age 12, fell in love with the Romanov family and Russia, and promptly went out and bought a Teach Yourself Russian in Three Months set (with accompanying CASSETTES, which lets you know how long ago this was!). Ten years later, I graduated...

Beauty and the Beast
AuthorJan Brett
ISBN0899194974
The artwork here is so gorgeous. Jan’s drawings of peacocks and roses is enough alone to check out this book and look at them. The one mistake I see is that Jan chose to make Beauty blonde - I don’t approve of that decision, but otherwise this is a good rendition. It is closer to the myth that Robin McKinley...

Another Monster at the End of This Book
AuthorJon Stone

After picking up a copy of the original Monster at the End of This Book for Shortcake, I was both excited and wary of this sequel.

We checked a copy out of our library and I've got to admit this one isn't quite up to par with the original. The concept is the same -- Grover is worried about a monster at...
