The Amulet of Samarkand (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 1)
Jonathan Stroud
Corgi Childrens, 2004
Amulet of Samarkand
Phenomenal read! Very, very easy to get through. Superbly written. Kind of like an evil version of the Harry Potter world... except, well, not. I loved it. Proof that not all must be roses and fluff to be wonderful and magic! This book was part of a series that I just ...

This is the Star
Joyce Dunbar
Corgi Childrens, 2001
This Is the Star
This book is, without a doubt, one of the most wonderful books on my child's bookshelf. The text is a beautiful poem that winds its way through absoulutely riveting, gorgeous illustrations. The book is a work of art, and tells the Christmas story the way it should be ...

Shark in the Park
Nick Sharratt
Corgi Childrens, 2007
love this book
My daughter (2 1/2yrs) loves this book. We read it over and over. I wish there was a board book version because my daughter likes to turn the page by using the peep holes in the pages and they get ripped. It is a good book to interact with your child, we have created ...

The Intruders
Ee Richardson
Corgi Childrens, 2007
Blended Family Troubles and Creepy Ghosts--what's not to like?
Excellent little thriller for the 11 to 14 crowd. I'm a children's librarian, a sucker for ghost stories and can't resist a good scare. While "The Intruders" may not satisfy the gore and guts crowd, the tale will give the younger teens and tweens a few sleepless ...

The Silver Swan
Michael Morpurgo
Corgi Childrens, 2001
Touching and healing
This book brought out many raw emotions for me as i read it to my children. It's about love, hate and the healing cycles of life and death. I believe it to be very appropriate for children and adults. Life brings forth challenges that may be painful but there is a time ...

Jack and Police Dog Rebel
Patricia Finney
Corgi Childrens, 2002
maybe better than I, Jack
I think I enjoyed this book more than I, Jack. The relationship between Rebel and Jack is really entertaining and some of the predicaments they get into in the book were funnier (the dog induced car "accident" was a hoot!) I have read many books about dogs, my most ...

God Drives a Flying Saucer
Robert L. Dione
Corgi Childrens, 1973
Crazy but good!
This book is lucidly written and concise. It is altogether reasonable in tone. What is crazy is the premise: it assumes the historical truth of the Bible but substitutes for outworn supernaturalism the notion of space aliens with advanced medicine and technology. ...

Willy the Wizard

A great book

The Hand of the Devil
Dean Vincent Carter
Corgi Childrens, 2007
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
Bugs. Honestly, I don't particularly care for them. They seem to like munching on me, even though I'm pretty sure I'm not the type who is made of sugar and spice. I also suffer from arachnophobia; I absolutely, positively despise spiders. Those hairy bodies, those ...

Eragon (Inheritance Cycle)

Wonderful ride on a dragon
What a wonderful book. A great ride, I read it in one day, was unable to put it down. A must read for any Tolkin or Ann McCaffrey fan.

The Night Shimmy
Anthony Browne

cest ne pas un chien andulsian.
O.K., the title-fascinating the story-interesting, but could have better written, I think. The pictures-five stars, awesome pictures. They're like Magritte meets that pair of jams I had in the fifth grade. Incredible. They totally remind me of dreaming as a ...

Frieda Wishinsky

Must-Have Worth every cent!
I came across this book while volunteering at a childrens book fair. I just fell in LOVE with it and had to buy it for myself! I have no children, but have read it to my nieces and they loved it too! I am proud to have this 'childrens book' on my bookshelf!
