A House Is a House for Me

Author	Mary Ann Hoberman
ISBN	0140503943

In a rollicking rhyme, the author introduces us to all types of homes for both people and animals. The poem engages in flights of fancy - what about a husk being a house for an ear of corn, or a throat being a house for a hum? "And once you get started in thinking this way,/ It seems that whatever you see/ Is either...

Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride

Author	Kate DiCamillo
ISBN	0763623326

Mr. and Mrs. Watson's porcine wonder, Mercy, loves nothing more than a ride in the car. It takes a fair amount of nudging and bribing and a "You are such a good sport, darling" to get the portly pig out of the driver's seat, but once the convertible is on the road, Mercy loves the feel of the wind tickling her...

Mercy Watson to the Rescue

Author	Kate DiCamillo
ISBN	0763622702

To Mr. and Mrs. Watson, Mercy is not just a pig — she's a porcine wonder.

This is not, however, so good for the Watsons'...

Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus

Author	Barbara Park
ISBN	0679826424

I have heard so much about how great these books are so we decided to check them out. I can't think of a single thing from this book that was a "good example" for the kids. None of the people say anything kind or helpful. Many things are described as "stupid, "hate," and "dumb." My kids don't talk that way .....

Tacky the Penguin

Author	Helen Lester
ISBN	0395562333

This is a mildly funny and sweet story about an unconventional penguin and his conformist peers.

For me, the names of all the penguins were the most amusing part of the book.

This book has some good messages: that being odd or different and being your own person can be a huge positive,...

Moonlight

Author	Helen V. Griffith
ISBN	0062032852

Rabbit waits for the moon.
But the moon takes its time,
so Rabbit hops back to his burrow and goes to sleep.
What happens in the world when Rabbit isn't looking?
Well . . . magic.
And moonlight. . . .
The goats on the mountainside see it.
The deer, birds, and raccoons see it.

Leaf Man

Author	Lois Ehlert
ISBN	0152053042

Fall has come, the wind is gusting, and Leaf Man is on the move. Is he drifting east, over the marsh and ducks and geese? Or is he heading west, above the orchards, prairie meadows, and spotted cows? No one's quite sure, but this much is certain: A Leaf Man's got to go where the wind blows.
