The Twin Giants
Dick King-Smith

Candlewick, 2008

When twin giants set out in search of happiness, the result is a comedy of errors that is doubly clever and enormously funny. "Isn?t he e-nor-mous!" says the giant father when his first twin son is born. "There?s a-lot-uv-?im!" notes the giant mother when the second twin boy arrives. And as Normus (a vegetarian) and Lottavim (a carnivore) grow ...

The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon

Mini Grey

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2006

Hey, baby, they're playing our song. Let's get back together, that's where we belong.
Mini Grey, likes to do things a little differently. You would expect no less from a woman named after a car, I suppose. Back in the day, Grey's first picture book, "The Very Smart Pea and the Princess-to-be" got her a bit of casual interest by taking a pea's ...

Traction Man Is Here! (Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards (Awards))

Mini Grey

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2005

Super Fun read
Traction Man is Here is so fun I had to read it to my grandson 5 times one day! The illustrations are clever, colorful and so interesting you notice something different every time you read it.

Into the Woods

Lyn Gardner

David Fickling Books, 2007

From the cover -
"Look after it, Storm... It's not a trinket. Whatever you do, don't let it fall into the wrong hands." Storm Eden isn't inclined to take her mother's dying words too seriously. After all, Zella Eden was not a very serious woman. She never did much of anything ...

Egg Drop
Mini Grey

RED FOX BOOKS (RAND), 2003

Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog (Traction Man)

Mini Grey

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008

Traction Man to the Rescue!
Like its predecessor--Traction Man Is Here!--this book is really, really funny partly because of its deadpan "show don't tell" delivery, typified by Traction Man's stoic yet somehow ironic facial expression. The Robin to Traction Man's Batman is his faithful pet ...

The Very Smart Pea and the Princess-to-be

Mini Grey

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2003

An enjoyable read--again and again and again and again
As the mother of a two-year-old, I am delighted when I find a book that both of us enjoy reading, since books get read over and over. This is one of those delightful books that we share. The storyline is clever: the tale of the princess and the pea, as told from the ...

Biscuit Bear

Mini Grey

Red Fox, 2008

Beautifully done!
This audio version of Biscuit Bear is fabulous. The music is perfect and the story well-read. We already had the book, but bought this for the CD and were simply delighted.

Ginger Bear

Mini Grey

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

Ginger Bear is a gem.
My four and six year old love this book. We picked it up from the library and it became an instant classic. It is on my "to buy" list. For my four year old it is a fun and imaginative story of a gingerbread bear that escapes being eaten by his maker, Horace. My six ...

The Pea and the Princess
Mini Grey

Red Fox, 2004

Once upon a time there was an enchanting fairytale about a prince who was looking for a real princess to be his bride. The only way to tell whether the many princesses who applied for the post were really royal, legend had it, was to see if they would be able to feel a tiny little pea through dozens of luxurious mattresses as they slept. Only the ...
