Owen & Mzee: Language Of Friendship
Isabella Hatkoff, Craig Hatkoff and Dr. Paula Kahumbu
Scholastic Press, 2007
Owen & Mzee a Wonderful Book
I got this book for my 4 year old niece. As an animal lover, I knew she would be charmed, but I didn't expect the adults to be so enthralled. Everyone who picks up this book gets caught up in the story and pictures. Thank you.

The Hippopotamus Pool (Amelia Peabody, Book 8)
Elizabeth Peters
Grand Central Publishing, 1997
Why I love Amelia Peabody Mysteries:
Reading an Amelia Peabody Mystery is like having a favorite meal. You don't have to have it every day but when you do, it is always satisfying and delicious. You can go weeks or months between this meal and yet just thinking about it will make you salivate. THE ...

But Not the Hippopotamus
Sandra Boynton
Little Simon, 1982
One of the better boynton books
Boynton books have been really hit or miss with us. This is one of the better ones.
My daughter enjoys having it read to her, and we can tolerate reading it. She enjoys the rhyming and the hippo. The thought that the book was sending some kind of negative message ...

Hippos Go Berserk
Little Simon, 2000
One of the better Boynton books
Boynton books have really been hit or miss with my daughter - and us parents who must read them.
Hippos go Berserk is one of the better ones. The rhyming and counting keep the pace moving. It's no "Red Hat Green Hat" in the eyes of my daughter, but much better than ...

The Hippopotamus
Stephen Fry
Soho Press, 2003
THEOREM
This novel, published in 1994, has reminded the critics of certain other writers. I can myself see a resemblance to the narrator of Kingsley Amis's The Green Man in this story told by an ageing, bibulous, randy has-been putting up a show of curmudgeonliness much as ...

Harriet Ziefert
Puffin, 1993
A Classic!!
I read this book for so many years when I was little and it really helped me with those pre-first day of school jitters. Now I'm a senior in high school and I still like to pull it out once-in-a-while for a little nostalga on the night before school starts. A great ...

George and Martha Book & CD (Read Along Book & CD)
James Marshall
Houghton Mifflin, 2007
Love this best friend series!
I needed to purchase a replacement copy of George and Martha, because my older copy is very loved and falling apart. This book, as well as the others in this series, are great for teaching friendship.

George and Martha Back in Town
James Marshall
Houghton Mifflin, 1988
Like this One A Lot - a review of George & Martha "Back in Town"
"Back in Town" is a cute book and one of our current favorites. My son (just turned 5) thinks it is absolutely hysterical. My daughter (7) likes it as well but not to the same extent -- in other words she doesn't ask for it to be read three times in a row -lol.
