Bedtime for Frances (Trophy Picture Books)

Russell Hoban

HarperTrophy, 1995

Great Book!
I loved this book when I was little and now my son loves it too. I was amazed at the negative comments regarding this book because of the spanking. It doesn't give my son nightmares - it's just a story and if anything it helps him realize that those noises he hears at ...

Charlotte's Web

E. B. White

HarperCollins, 2001

One of the Greats
I have read this classic to my kids (and to myself, decades ago), and two of my daughters have read it too. My 10-year old says that she find it believeable, even with the talking animals. By that, I think that she appreciates the humanization of the animal ...

The Family Under the Bridge

Natalie Savage Carlson

HarperTrophy, 1989

Great little novel
I didn't read this book until I was a mom, and that's a pity, because I would have loved it when I was a kid. I find the ending, where the family is provided with a home, particularly fine. Their new home is only a cellar apartment, but you know it is going to be a ...

The Little House Cookbook: Frontier Foods from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Classic Stories

Barbara M. Walker

yummm
We bought this to supplement our unit study and have really enjoyed the recipes. This book also adds lots of extra information, not just on the Ingalls and Wilder families but, on farms of the time and farm house kitchens.

The Cricket in Times Square (Chester Cricket and His Friends)

George Selden

Square Fish, 2008

Love this book
