It was the middle of winter and very, very cold. The mice of Brambly Hedge forecasted snow. And they were right. In the morning they awoke to find their doors and windows hidden behind deep drifts. There hadn't been snow like this for years.
"There's enough for a Snow Ball!" cried the mice with...
One Monster After Another
| Author | Mercer Mayer |
| ISBN | 1577686888 |
This may have been the most intriguing book of my childhood and I would love to get my hands on a copy now that I'm all growed-up. I suspect that I only saw half of the things in each picture; we'd pore over every page for minutes on end, encouraging each other to find what we saw and we did this with alarming regularity....

The kitten who wanted to be a beggar
15 November 2013
I found this to be rather amusing because of the occupations that were open up to the four kittens. One of them was a ship's cat (or a sailor), one was a farm cat (or a farmer), and one of them was an alley cat (or a beggar). Actually, the first...

This book is intended for the young reader to read. And by young reader I mean those old enough to be interested in Winnie the Pooh. I have a hard time believing this.
First, logistically this book is not suited for the young reader. It is tiny. The print is tiny. The pictures would not keep the young...

I love this book!
I cannot believe I have not read this before! It’s a brilliant idea to follow the Jolly Postman on his rounds. The authors have cleverly interwoven the stories of Jack & The Beanstalk, Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. I love the little extras throughout the book....

The art is ugly! But the story is so good! It's a real life situation, sad things happen to animals and sometimes there's a happy ending and sometimes there's not. It's never too early to introduce and teach children about animals, life, and things that they will encounter in their own lives. It's an emotional...

Autumn should have been a season of contentment for the inhabitants of the Green Forest. Food was plentiful and all the young creatures born earlier in the year had been taught how to look out for themselves. It should not have been a sad time, but it was — because of the hunters and their long guns!

Flower Fairies of the Spring

I Love this Book!
I found this, by chance, at the library one day and I brought this home. It is a collection of poems from the 1920s about flowers and fairies. It’s almost 100 years old. Each fairy has a poem about the flower and when the flower grows. This collection is lovely with delicate artwork....
The Friendly Book (Big Little Golden Book)
| Author | Margaret Wise Brown |
| ISBN | 0307106438 |
I love this book and so do my kids (twin boys, age 3.5). The text is simple and fun to read, listing different likes; boats, trains, whistles, etc. In the end, it comes around to "I like people," and it's very sweet. My kids just about know it word for word. Even better than the text is the illustrations by Garth...

A playful take on a topic that all parents can relate to-getting sick! The ever-lovable Miss Bindergarten is not feeling well. The flu strikes on Sunday, so she has to stay home from kindergarten on Monday. Mr. Tusky (who is a wee bit rusty) will be her substitute, but it just won't be the same. ...
