Too Big (New York Review Children's Collection)
Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar Parin D'Aulaire

NYR Children's Collection, 2008

The little hero of this tale has a shock of blond hair, a devoted dog, and a frisky cat, but today he has a problem, a big problem, in fact: he?s just too big to do the things he wants to do.

The Two Cars (New York Review Childrens Collection)

NYR Children's Collection, 2007

Good Memories
I and my brother used to fight over who got the copy of this from the public library. Later when the library decessioned the badly mauled (not just by us) book, my mother got that copy. The story concerns two cars: an old car and a new car. They agree to have a ...

Roll with the Troll
A great read filled with colorful illustrations & all the usual excitement you'd expect to find in a troll adventure. Of course, there is also a beautiful princess to be rescued. I don't know why Amazon lists the reading level as "baby, pre-school"!!! No baby or ...

I adore this book
Foxie is a lovely story - nuanced, authentic, emotional without being sappy or maudlin. The illustrations are gorgeous. I'm having a hard time giving it up to my grandnephew!
