Daniel Pinkwater

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1997

A great read. Again, again, again, and again.
The five novels in this book are genius. Alan Mendelson, boy from mars, takes youn through a boy going through being the new kid, goofing off with another weirdo, the wacky Klugarsh Mind Control, and... well I just can't give away the rest! I have to say i have a soft ...

Young Larry

Daniel Manus Pinkwater

Marshall Cavendish Corporation, 2004

Excellent book!
I bought this book along with "Hotel Larry" and "Ice Cream Larry" for my young nephew for Christmas. I had to read the books as soon as they arrived. "Young Larry" was my favorite of the three books. I had been a little worried after reading a review that said the ...

Ice Cream Larry

Daniel Manus Pinkwater

Marshall Cavendish Corporation, 2004

The Birth of the Cold
The former "Bongo Larry" returns as "Ice Cream Larry" in this delightful continuation of the Pinkwaters' series about the multi-talented polar bear. Jill Pinkwater's vivid, varied colors (pen and ink, and colored marker) and Daniel Pinkwater's droll prose combine for ...

The Neddiad: How Neddie Took the Train, Went to Hollywood, and Saved Civilization

Daniel Manus Pinkwater

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2007

turtles all the way down
I loved this book. I think I get what it is about, not worrying about things, resting in God (or on the great turtle). It reminds me of an essay by an Episcopalian minister, Barbara Brown Taylor (The Luminous Web, The Limits of Knowledge) She recounts this in the book: ...

Once Upon a Blue Moose

Daniel Manus Pinkwater

Yearling, 2006

At last!
Here is the Blue Moose trilogy, back in print and all in one volume. This format is smaller than the old books were, but the illustrations still look really great. There are a few sections of moose facts [with a humorous slant], and there's even a letter from the ...

The Hoboken Chicken Emergency

Daniel Pinkwater

Aladdin, 2007

Giant Chicken Wins Over Granddaughter
My granddaughter just loves this book. She wanted to finish the book the first night but Mom said bedtime ruled. Have reread the book 4 times and she still wants more. I highly recomend this book for great bonding time.

At the Hotel Larry

Daniel Manus Pinkwater

Marshall Cavendish Corporation, 2004

Funny and great to read aloud
The narrator of this story is a girl who lives in a hotel with her father and mother. Larry, a polar bear, once saved her father's life, and as a reward, Larry wanted to live in a hotel with a swimming pool. So her father bought an old hotel, and Larry is the ...

The Magic Pretzel : Ready For Chapters 1

Daniel Pinkwater

Aladdin, 2000

The Werewolf Club howls
This is my first book by the Pinkwaters (Daniel writes and Jill illustrates) but it won't be my last. The Werewolf Club : The Magic Pretzel, is a silly, absurd book but in the most delightful way. You see, Mr. Talbot, half-man, half-wolf, and sponsor of the Watson ...

The Big Orange Splot

D. Manus Pinkwater

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1993

A great book about believing in your dreams
This is a great book about following your own dreams, dancing to your own tune, believing in what drives you, all done in a really engaging book. The marker drawings are great--I love how you can see the marker lines. It's humorous and wonderful and wild. Share it ...

Bear's Picture

Daniel Manus Pinkwater

Houghton Mifflin, 2008

A must-have!
This is the perfect book for helping children to remember that if THEY are pleased with something they have made for the joy of making it, then it does not matter what others think. A good book for many adults (especially hypercritical ones) to read as well...

Irving and Muktuk: Two Bad Bears

Daniel Manus Pinkwater

Houghton Mifflin, 2001

4 1/2 * Bearly Disguised
Something about New England apparently attracts writers to bears. Notably, there is John Updike, who managed to place bears in "The Hotel New Hampshire," and other books, and there's the Pinkwater (Dan and Jill), who have given us such masterworks as "Young Larry," ...

Superpuppy: How to Choose, Raise, and Train the Best Possible Dog for You (How to Choose, Raise, and Train ...

Daniel Manus Pinkwater

Sandpiper, 2002

The best puppy book I've ever read
I read this book when I was a little kid with my first puppy, and I checked it out at the school library. I read it from cover to cover about 20 times. It was amazing, and it helped me as a 12 year old to raise my dog. I loved it so much that I am recommending it ...

The Artsy Smartsy Club

Daniel Pinkwater

HarperCollins, 2005

Beats Watching Raw Liver Slide Down a Wall
Don't read this book if you: 1) Like to spend time shouting into fans. 2) Like to throw toilet paper into fans. 3) Enjoy doing the first two with the fan turned on. 4) Fly an American flag in front of your house all the time. 5) Rather watch bowling on TV while ...

Daniel Pinkwater

HarperTrophy, 2006

a book that made me cluck out loud
Nick does not like the idea of moving away from his modern Happy Valley home. But he is taken by his parents to Hoboken New Jersey and towards the strangest mystery he has ever been through or heard of . On the first day in Hoboken his bike is stolen and he meets ...

Flat Stanley Audio Collection CD

Jeff Brown

HarperChildrensAudio, 2006

Hooked my 6 year old on reading chapter books
My son was reading well, but Junie B, Horrible Harry etc didn't capture his imagination and have him clamoring for more -- but this one, just totally captured his imagination and got to the top of his Christmas wishlist. In fact they got read before all of his toys ...
