Review:Among the most incredible of authors, Ms. Morrison poetically delivers an enriching reading experience in such a raw, real, and somehow concise way. This book is one that will stay with me and opens my eyes in ways I have seldom encountered in other literature. Read more

Review:Bought as a present for a little girl (4yrs old) and she loves it! Her mom loves to cook and bake so this is a perfect way to bring some of what they both like together in the kitchen. Arrived in great condition. Read more

Review:I recommend H.G. Wells wholeheartedly. He is one of those authors who may not be up to date, but for the era in which these works were written, they are beautifully imaginative. It isn't to say that wells could do no wrong, i haven't read his entire catalog yet, but what i have read of his work has not been disappointing. don't expect the time machine to be anything like the newest time machine movie, and you will do fine. Wells is about taking you on an adventure. I found the island of dr.... Read more

Review:***I received the ARC eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review***

Beautiful, mesmerising and magical – all words to describe the Vagabond Circus and this book! Originally I was a little worried because it didn’t have my favourite start (I felt disconnected from the characters that I also had a hard time growing to like even though I could understand their standpoint) but by the end I was dying for more. The damn kindle lied saying I had 10% left but it wasn't technically par... Read more

Review:Lovely, haunting, poetic book -- for adults.
But, for a child, nostalgia for "the way we all used to play outdoors in an abandoned lot, decades ago" doesn't make a very interesting topic. Certainly there have been no repeat requests for this book at story hour. And mine is not a child who shuns the haunting, the subtle, the poetic. Read more

Review:Sweet book that I bought for my granddaughter and to read to students, but I find it rather dull. Not sure how it is a classic, perhaps boomers who remember it as children, it has not worn well - in my view. Read more

Review:"April showers bring May flowers." Sarah Stewart's The Gardener brings us the winsome story of a young flower lover, Lydia Grace Finch. Forced by the hard times of the Depression, Lydia leaves her family to go to the unfamiliar city to stay with her Uncle Jim, an unsmiling baker.

Review:Arrived timely and in good condition. I always liked this story and owned this Little Golden Book as a child and still can remember my mother reading this book to me. I thought my great niece would enjoy it too. Read more

Review:I think I remember why I bought "Those Darn Squirrels" yesterday. I'm looking for a book to read to my son's class, and am skipping through reviews on kids' books on Amazon, and came across this book. We have some bird feeders up and love squirrels and grumpy grandpa types :), the title was funny, the reviews were good, the summary seemed like it would be up our alley and the graphics looked very humorous and appealing. Tonight I read the book to dear son on kindle at bedtime, and we LOVED this ... Read more

Review:I bought granddaughter several books for her birthday (age 4). Some of them are simpler and are ones I thought would be a good start for her 'Ready to Read' or "I can Read" phases, but instead of picking up one of the simpler books, she looked through them until she found the one she wanted: "Stinky Giant". There is something about 'stinky' that makes a 4 year old laugh. She concentrated so intently that I knew it was money well spent - invest in the future. e Read more
