Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes
Mem Fox
Harcourt Children's Books, 2008
Absolutely perfect!
Mem Fox has done it again!! I can't wait to share this story with my 1 year old daughter so please publish it in a board book edition! I love the message that we're all so alike as babies despite where we live or what color our skin is. It is so relevant to babies ...

Leaf Man (Ala Notable Children's Books. Younger Readers (Awards))
Lois Ehlert
Harcourt Children's Books, 2005
Simple text enhanced with a big dose of creativity!
My husband bought this for our two-year old, and we love reading it together with her. The text is simple, as it traces the journey of Leaf Man...the leaves used are magnificent in their colors...some bold, some subdued, but all unique and beautiful. I have since done ...

Graceling
Kristin Cashore
Harcourt Children's Books, 2008
Great...If you can ignore the HUGE anti marriage elements
Graceling is a well written book by first time author Kristin ashore. She is remarkably talented in her telling of the story. The book definitely demands your attention and qualifies as un-put-downable. For the plot and writing, I give it the full five stars. And here, ...

Jim Copp, Will You Tell Me a Story?: Three Uncommonly Clever Tales [Book and Musical CD]
Jim Copp
Harcourt Children's Books, 2008
Well Done!
The recordings of Jim Copp & Ed Brown originally released on Playhouse Records (PlayhouseRecords.com) really belong on the short shelf of American children's classics. The illustrations here by Lindsay duPont have been lovingly updated in this very classy book/CD ...

Stellaluna
Janell Cannon
Harcourt Children's Books, 1993
My favorite children's book
Note: My reviews are plagued by cyber stalkers who distort votes totals.
If I HAD to answer the question: What is your favorite children's book?, I would have to pick "Stellaluna." There, this children's librarian committed, but I think my students would know that. ...

Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf
Lois Ehlert
Harcourt Children's Books, 1991
Myriad of illustrative techniques. Informative book about leaves.
The illustrator uses vivid photographs, paper cut images, nature colors and pressed leaves to illustrate a child's description of a seed growing to a sapling. The writing consists of nice large letters and smaller typed descriptions of 'bird treat' or 'sugar maple', ...

My Bonny Light Horseman: Being an Account of the Further Adventures of Jacky Faber, in Love and War (Bloody ...
Louis A. Meyer
Harcourt Children's Books, 2008
Vive L'Empereur! Non. Vive Jacky Faber! Mais oui.
I finished reading MY BONNY LIGHT HORSEMAN, the sixth book in the "Bloody Jack" series, a few weeks ago and am just now getting around to commenting on it. The other reviewers here have basically written about the plot and characters, so I won't repeat what has already ...

the dead and the gone
Susan Beth Pfeffer
Harcourt Children's Books, 2008
A Decent Companion Novel!
After seeing the reviews on Amazon I was a bit worried about ordering this novel as I was worried that I would be sorely dissapointed with the successor to the amazing "Life As We Knew It." However I was still in that world so I wanted to stay in it so-to-speak so I ...

The Little Prince: Sixtieth-Anniversary Gift Edition
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Harcourt Children's Books, 2003
[...]
I don't know how to begin to describe The Little Prince. In some ways it is like reviewing love itself. While many books have touched me emotionally, this short children's story has gone farther and deeper than any other. Everything about it is perfection: sweet, sad, ...

Pirates Don't Change Diapers
Melinda Long
Harcourt Children's Books, 2007
Great Big Brother book!
My 4 year old son loved the first book (How I became a Pirate) so I got him the sequel recently, when our baby daughter was born. He LOVED the book and the heavy pirate lingo. The pictures, as in the first book, are beautiful. I think it's a great "big brother" gift ...

Mem Fox, Judy Horacek
Harcourt Children's Books, 2004
love this book!
This is my current favorite (too bad my son prefers "things that go" but likes this one a lot too). It's a great read with lots of description words.

Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich
Adam Rex
Harcourt Children's Books, 2006
great entertainment
I checked this book out of the library and it came with a cassette so that is my one disappointment that this was only the book. My 5 year old son loves this and we had to listen to and read it for several weeks in a row. Halloween is his favorite holiday and to put ...
