Review:The Little Bear books are classics. They are great to read to small children, and they are wonderful for small children to read to you when they are just learning to read. The stories are warm and engaging. Read more

Review:This is a little known gem from Margaret Wise Brown, of 'Goodnight Moon' fame. It is a small furry book that tells the story of a day in the life of a little fur child who lives in the wild wood with his mother and father and not too far from his grandpa. The little fur child explores his surroundings and the other animals that live in the wild wood, and then, as the darkness gets a little too dark, he heads for home to the warmth and safety of his parents. I love the melodic quality of the p... Read more

Review:Obviously a traditional story that dates back to way-back-when and I wanted my son to learn. I love that this version looks original and like something my parents would have had (they are 70!). But be warned, in some of the illustrations, the bears (and even Goldie Locks) look completely deranged. But that just adds to the old fashioned charm, right? And my 2 year doesn't seem phased or bothered by them. Read more

Review:I bought this Tigers hat for my granddaughter's 10th Birthday. She is a big Detroit Tiger fan and attended a game with her family the next week proudly decked out in her Tiger gear. The hat is well made of quality materials. Doesn't look like a cheap kiddie cap, but a miniature adult-looking cap. A very nice item at a great price. (adjustable too, don't worry about the fit.

Review:My daughter is currently in what we are calling the "George phase." We must read at least one of the The Complete Adventures of Curious George: 70th Anniversary Edition before bed every night, and now this "new" George before quiet time in the afternoon. She loves finding George and the items specified for each vignette. We now ask her to find other random items on each page, and she has a blast! If you've ... Read more

Review:Great story with ultra-important topic. Good conversation starter for your kids to ask questions. We had at least two dozen of these when our daughter was small, but we purchased this as an addition to a baby shower gift. Read more

Review:The only gifts we exchange in my family during the holidays are gifts of the heart. So, I decided to surprise my 33 year old daughter -- who now has her own young son -- by reading from the book "that I had read more times from cover-to-cover than any other book in my life." When I reached into my bag and pulled out "The Best Nest," tears of joy came to her eyes. Then, much to my surprise she jumped up and pulled her own old tattered copy from her bookshelf, which I had read to her so many times... Read more

Review:I've always loved reading, looking, staring at this book for years. I'm sad that the cover ripped and that there are stains on the book front cover as well (I was a kid! lol so sue me!), but the book itself has held up inside almost perfectly.

Anyway, the story itself is truly timeless in many ways. Discovering the world alone for the characters was interesting. There is so much more than meets the eye when reading more than once. I've learned about many things that maybe weren't in the m... Read more

Review:The cover art shipping now (July '08) is the beige one in the alternate images -- a useless and dull cover compared with the exciting view of Mrs. Frisby and the crow Jeremy against blue on display at this page. I wish I'd bought this in a bookstore instead, and might have had another choice of cover art. At least the interior art is the excellent classic version. Read more

Review:Great lessons to be learned from Mark's anecdotes of his lifelong experience of working with horses. He is not only a great horseman that truly understands animal psychology, but also a gifted writer that captivates his audience with often humorous accounts of lessons he learned through interactions with both horses and people. I can truly relate to his passive style of gaining a horse's confidence, as I acquired a rescue horse that feared everyone and everything, and using a similar approach I ... Read more
