There are 4 or 5 books in the Mercy Watson series now, all wonderful. My girls, 5 and 3, want me to read them to them every night. You can't go wrong.

Ghost Walk (Leisure Fiction)
Brian Keene
Leisure, 2008
Coolnes
I found this novel engrossing. If it wasn't for the fact that I had to take the dog for a walk, I probably would have spent all night reading it. It is just such a cool story. It's also a local story; the book is set largely in York County, Pennsylvania--small portions ...

Magic Treehouse Haunted Castle
We really enjoy this series- we read to our 5 & 3 year old boys
each night...just two or three chapters. They love the MT stories.
Easy reading.

Batman: The Long Halloween
Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale
DC Comics, 1999
Harvey Dent, Tragic Character
This is probably one of the first stories that really showed Harvey Dent as a tragic figure in the Batman universe rather than some demented villain with a duel identity issue. The Long Halloween probably did the best of showing the relationship of Batman, Jim Gordon, ...

Room on the Broom
Julia Donaldson
Puffin, 2003
We are on our third copy!
My son loves this book so much, we wore out the first copy to the point that it was beyond me being able to tape the binding back together anymore. We bought him a second copy that has been "loved" as much as the first, and so we had to buy a third copy for my ...

Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak
Harper Collins, 1988
"And it was still Hot!"
The last line in this great book is "...and it was still hot", and it is!
I first read this book in a Children's Literature class in college (which was taught by our county's wonderful head Children's Librarian); I used it for my picture book presentation. I later ...

Scary Stories Boxed Set
Alvin Schwartz
HarperTrophy, 1992
These Books Traumatized Me
I'm serious, when I was a kid I read these books and they scared me silly. The stories by themselves will set you on edge, but what I remember most is the illustrations. Even now just looking at the covers give me a little chill and makes me want to turn on all the ...

Little Einstein
I have bought several of these books for my granddaughters, aged 2 and 4 who love Little Einsteins and was very pleased with the quality and storyline of all the books...they are easy to read for the older children and hold the interest of the younger children. The ...

Probably the Best Junie B. Ever
Hands down this is one of the best Junie B. books ever. I would say it is tied for first place with my other personal favorite, Junie B. Jones is a Beauty Shop Guy. This one will have you laughing out loud non stop! We have the book, and the recording, and we have ...

The Widow's Broom
Chris Van Allsburg
Houghton Mifflin, 1992
SOME OF THE AUTHOR'S BEST WORK
I did indeed love this one. The art work, per usual, for this author, was absolutely perfect. It is the type of work that can appeal to children as well as adults (I'm well into my sixties, and I enjoyed it...of course I have a lot of little boy in me still). As to ...

Halloween: Customs, Recipes & Spells
Silver RavenWolf
Llewellyn Publications, 1999
a delicious dose
Have you ever wondered where the idea of Halloween came from? This topic has been one of heated argument and probably will continue to be, unless more people read this complete guide to the holiday and understand what it is all about. Long before the now popular Trick ...
