Review:A simple dot on a piece of paper turned a child into an inspiration for others. She in turn deploys the same method of inspiration by her art teacher, to encourage a little boy who also thinks he can't draw.

Review:Excellent board book for babies to look at, enjoy and learn from for years and years. Do something positive with your mistakes. A 10 year old girl introduced me to this book when I was her reading buddy. Even though I am 79 I love the book and its message. Read more
Review:This book is refreshing: the idea of a child architect is novel to both children and parents, yet the life lessons in the book are simple and straightforward. Fun, interesting illustrations. Such a welcomed departure from trucks and princesses. It's currently my favorite gift for boys 2-5, although this book can and should be enjoyed by both sexes and all ages! Read more
Review:My daughter is seven and loves drawing. This book has been very helpful in step by step guides to draw more detailed figures. She has used the book a couple times now. The book is sort of gender-neutral, so I have found that my "girly girl" is only semi-interested in the characters. Overall, it is a great step by step guide and very age appropriate. Read more
Review:My three-year-old daughter and I love fancy Nancy. This book covers Valentine's Day. The ending is cute and there is a little mystery in the middle.

The wordage, always sounds to me like a little girl, maybe six or seven years old. Always fancy words with an explanation. Great series Read more

Review:My daughter loves the "You are my sunshine" song - whenever we ride in the car, she asks for "Sunshine!" and when I'm done singing it, she says "More? More?" I picked up this book as a surprise for her and it was a huge hit. Sweet pictures accompany the traditional song lyrics - so if the song is a favorite in your family as well, be sure to get this great book. Read more
