Nothing Ever Happens on My Block
Ellen Raskin
Aladdin, 1966
A Great Read to Share with Your Family
I grew up on this book, and I'm really sad it's so hard to find now. The pictures are bright and the artistic style is deceptively simple, but don't be fooled. Not only do the pictures have a lot of character, there are upwards of ten stories going on behind and all ...

The Westing Game (Puffin Modern Classics)
Ellen Raskin
Puffin, 2004
One of my all time favorite books
The Westing Game is a compelling and insignifacent treasure that anyone would be overjoyed to dig up! This book has many main characters yet maintaines the sense that you know the characters personally, and you never get confused. A suspensful and unpredictable mystery ...

The Tattooed Potato and Other Clues
Ellen Raskin
Puffin, 1989
An All-Time Favorite
I was fortunate enough to read "The Tattooed Potato and other clues" a few times before my local library took it off the shelves. I absolutely love this book and it's still among my top five favorites though now that I'm older (and hopefully wiser) I've read a wider ...

The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I Mean Noel) (I Mean Noel)
Ellen Raskin
Puffin, 1989
The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I Mean Noel)
This was a fantastic book! It had a little mystery, some fantasy, and some adventure. I couldn't stop reading it! You should definitely read this book because its the best. It gives the phrase "page-turner" a whole new meaning!

STILL SEARCHING FOR MY COPY IN MY MOTHER'S BASEMENT
I loved this book! I think I still have it... somewhere. I purchased it myself from the bookmobile when I was in elementary school in D.C. I read it again and again, discovering yet another exciting event Chester Filbert was missing while he was so busy complaining. ...

Spectacles
Ellen Raskin
Trumpet, 1989
Great for little girls with new glasses!
Spectacles is a great book for little girls that have just received their first pair of glasses. Getting glasses can be traumatic for some little girls, but this book shows how important glasses are. Iris sees things in a cloudy way. She thinks items around her ...

Figgs and Phantoms: 2
Ellen Raskin
Dutton Juvenile, 1977
review from a 17 year old reader
A really odd book [in a good way]. However, I think the targetted age group should be somewhat older then 12-13 as children in this age bracket may not "get" the message this book conveys.

Who, Said Sue, Said Whoo?
Ellen Raskin
MacMillan Publishing Company, 1976
A fun children's book.
Having grown up with this book, published in 1973, I was very happy to find it at the library to share with my one-year-old son. He enjoys the rhyme and rhythm and the funny pictures. It's so memorable that I can quote it to him anytime and elicit a smile.

A Child's Christmas in Wales
Dylan Thomas
New Directions, 2003
The voice
If you have read A Child's Christmas in Wales, you know that it has to be a classic. But you can't fully appreciate it until you have heard Dylan Thomas read it. What a deep, expressive, poetic voice. For years, I have listened to the recording on a Caedman record. It ...
