Animals
Review:Again, our one year old grandson likes turning the big chuncky pages. He likes the animal sounds, but there's not many animals in the book for the money. The touch and feel sections are a little better than the trucks book. Overall, not too bad. Read more
Review:I did not expect this to be a mini coloring book, but it is. My daughter likes this, and it's great for her to carry around. She's 1 so it's the perfect size. The illustrations are nice too, and there is lots to color. However, if I had known it wasn't a full-size coloring book, I probably wouldn't have bought it. Read more
Review:I checked this book out so many times from the school library when I was little, that the librarian asked my parents to buy me a copy so that other kids could have a chance to check it out. The cats , by far, were my favorite part, especially MAX! If you know a child that likes animals, this is the book to get them!! It's fun, has great pictures, great humor, and is just my all around favorite book of my childhood! Read more
Review:My young kids love it. Our Golden Retriever is hazy on the plot but understands the utterance "good dog." Somewhat predictable, but quite appropriate for dogs and kids. P.S., even the cat like it. She sits on the book when it is not being read. Read more
Review:Love the cat seen from multiple perspectives... The illustrations are big and colorful, and my two month old loves the bright pictures and lyrical and repetitive way the words sound. As he gets older, I know he'll appreciate the book in a different way, learning about mentalizing and perspective taking, which is the beauty of this book. I loved it so much, I bought a copy for my niece for Christmas. Read more

Review:For those who loved Watership Down for all its well-plotted adventures of Hazel and his friends who leave their home warren and journey out into the world, this book will probably pale in comparison. Tales from Watership Down is more a book of short stories, some loosely connected together, some not even related to one another. All the stories in this book are as fun to read as the short stories of El-ahrairha in the original book, but while those stories served mostly to further the plot and ... Read more
Review:Rather two essays... subject linked and roughly contemporary.
Doors takes us on a mescaline trip in the early fifties that was witnessed and noted... almost a diary. Questions asked and recorded. A big emphasis on color and light. Infused and coming from within objects... very bright and punctuated by an imperceptible breathing as if the inanimate had become animate. The room objects became "itness" as red books become bright emerald like slabs and flowers glow like marble scupture.
Review:This book is great for Wild Kratt fans, but I am disappointed that the sharks are portrayed as aggressive and angry. As someone who works in marine biology, sharks are greatly misunderstood and these illustrations do not help the stigma the animal has. My daughter kept asking what the sharks were so mad about.

Review:I read this to my daughter Magda (who's two-and-a-half) and asked her some questions about it. Here's what she had to say:
What's this book called?
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Who wrote it?
Uh, Mo Willems? E.B. White?
No, it starts with R. Ro--
Roald Dahl!
That's right. What happened in the book?
The chickens were scared.
That's true. Why were they scared?
Because they would be killed and they were killed.
Who killed the chickens?
The Fantastic Mr. Fox!<... Read more
