An irresistible tale for young children
Every parent knows that children depend on certain books being read to them ritualistically nearly every evening at bedtime. This was for a very long time one of those books for my daughter and me. The story is delightful. Miles lives in a swamp and loves to play ...
Johnny Lion's Book (An I Can Read Book, Level 1)
Edith Thacher Hurd
HarperCollins
, 2001
So glad this isn't out of print!
I remember loving this book as a little girl, so, of course I bought it for my own children when I came across it as an adult. The story is timeless, and my kids enjoy it just as much as I did!
Watercolor: For the Artistically Undiscovered (Klutz)
Klutz
, 1992
If you are a beginner (like I am) get this book!
I am extremely intimidated by painting, so I took baby steps and bought this book. It comes with some beautiful watercolors that are rich and color--and a brush as well. They start you off with painting some small pictures, even blobs if you are comfortable with it, ...
Axle the Freeway Cat
Thacher Hurd
HarperCollins
, 1981
Fabulous book!
My son fell in love with this book when he was young. He took it out of the library every single time we visited, which was very often. Thacher Hurd is incredibly creative. He writes and illustrates a wonderful story that will always be fascinating!

I HAVE FOUND MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD BOOK!!!
When my daughter was born in 1979, I wanted to share with her my favorite childhood book. At the time, there was not "the web", as we know it,or Amazon. I must have traveled 300 miles and visited 30 bookstores. As I anticipate a grandchild someday, I decided to ...
Zoom City

HarperFestival
, 1998
The book that turned my child onto books
Wow - this book was SUCH a hit with my son. Before we found this at a local bookstore, my son would actually get mad when I tried to get him to sit and listen to a story. He even took books out of my hand and flung them across the room. One day, I was DETERMINED to ...
Moo Cow Kaboom!
HarperCollins
, 2003
Rip Roarin' Fun
Who would've thought a story could combine cowboys and space aliens? This book took us completely by surprise. The farmer's moo-cow was kidnapped by Zork, a cowboy from a planet far away in outer space. Zork plans to ride the earthling Moo-Cow in the Intergalactic ...
Starfish (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science)
Edith Thacher Hurd
HarperCollins
, 2000
Great for youngsters
I found this book very helpful and informative for my kindergarten class. It is both simplistic enough for them to grasp the information and stay "engaged" as well as, complex enough for children to learn several attributes of a starfish...and remember it! There is ...
Seven Little Postmen (A Little Golden Book)
Margaret Wise Brown
,
Edith Thacher Hurd
Golden Books
, 2002
"Sakes alive! What is it about?" Sakes alive! The secret is out!
I really love children's books that sweep the reader away on long journeys. Harold and the Purple Crayon is one such book. So, too, are the Phantom Tollbooth and, of course, Tolkien's works. The Seven Little Postmen does this on a more mundane level, but the journey ...
World Is Round
Gertrude Stein
Farrar Straus & Giroux (J)
, 1988
A rose is a rose is a rose
This book is odd, but very lovely. It is quite in the stream-of-consciousness vein, very modernist. I am not sure how much sense it would actually make to a child, but I found it to be particularly good.

Johnny Lion's Bad Day (I Can Read)
Edith Thacher Hurd
HarperCollins Children's Books
, 2001
Twisted!
This is my favorite twisted children's book. Ostensibly, it is a story about a child who is sick in bed and has bad dreams. It all ends happily. It's a fine book to share with your children. But, you could read it this way... Johnny Lion is sick in bed and, after ...
