Order of The Stick: War and XPs

Richard Burlew

Giant in the Playground, 2008

Not Just For Gamers, But It Could Make You One
The Order of the Stick is such a good comic, it seems a shame to limit the praise by saying 'good webcomic.' READ it and not only will the seemingly simple art cease to matter, it will prove itself not so simple at all. This volume, with its epic battle scenes, really ...

Howling At The Playground (Scooby-Doo Reader)

Gail Herman

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2000

Cute book for Scooby Fans!
I just purchased this book for my Scooby-lovin' first grade daughter. The story and illustrations are cute - not scary. Perfect for a 5 or 6 year-old. The age states K-grade 2, however, an average K - grade 1 child will not be able to read this without help. The ...

Jeannine Beaulieu

Chouette Publishing, 2008

Caillou and The Big Slide Encourages Trying Something New
My 2 1/2 year old was having some fear about going down the bigger slides at the park. He has never been much of a risk taker and we do not push. This is a great story of Caillou having the same anxiety, and how his daddy helps him give it a try. My son was totally ...

Fun and Entertaining. Easy to Understand.
I bought this for my nieces, ages 9 and 6. The book was very easy to understand, and the 9 year old had them both playing in minutes! There are several versions of the game, and they were playing them all! Highly recommend this book!

King Of The Playground

Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

Aladdin, 1994

My son loved it
I bought the book because my 4-year-old son had been on the receiving end of some of the unfriendly behaviors that are the basis of the book. My son loves the book. Aside from the fact that he gets the author's premise (reasoning rather than reacting), he just ...

Order Of The Stick Volume 1: Dungeon Crawlin' Fools (Order of the Stick 1)

Rich Burlew

Giant in the Playground, 2005

The funniest heroics ever
Burlew's parodies of role-playing and fantasy are spot-on. His comedy is spectacular, and he has developed the characters so you CARE about these stick-like squiggles (okay, so the art could be better). Character-development works, but its the comedy that slays me, I ...

Heaven Is a Playground (Second Edition)

Rick Telander

Bison Books, 2004

A Great Story of Spirit, Struggle, and Escape
I read this book around '93, just after having read the "white version" in both Larry Bird's biography and autobiography. What was interesting was these two very similar yet distinct experiences and how they related to my own experience, growing up it what would seem ...

Love and Hate from Jp

Usugrow

Upper Playground, 2007

Pungent Glory
The fury with which this book has been thrust upon our laps is unfathomable, the artist has truly found the shortest path to conceptualize unfamiliar being. Also in many ways confronts issues of morality in a predominantly misogynistic society. The leaps and bounds ...
