Little Rabbit's Christmas is a great story to add to your Christmas collection of books, especially if you have a young reader. Little Rabbit is so excited to get a brand new red sled from the Christmas Rabbit but he does NOT want to share. Little Rabbit learns...

I enjoyed reading about Lola and her little brother Zeke. The message about tattling is simple and easy for kids to understand. I think young children will love looking at the photos of these two cute pups and giggle along with their adventures. ...

What I loved: First of all, I fell in love with the design of this book. From the cover to the illustrations, it has a vintage feel with a modern story. I did not read Between the Lines so I was a little worried about jumping into...

I finished this book a few days ago and have been mulling over this review in my head since then. There were many things that I enjoyed about The Heir but I didn't feel myself connecting as much with this story as the previous installments. What...

First of all, let me say that I could take these illustrations and hang them on my wall. They are beautiful! Paddington is such a timeless story and Paddington at the Beach is a delightful addition. The pages aren't overloaded with words and the seagulls...

As a teacher, I love using Fancy Nancy books to teach new vocabulary words. The beginning reader format of this book is great for early readers. There are some bigger vocabulary words throughout the book, so it is geared a little more toward independent readers--the guided reading level...

I grew up reading the stories of The Berenstain Bear Family and now I enjoy reading those same books to my own children. Hospital Friends gives children a tour of the hospital and the people working there. Nothing is scary or overwhelming for young readers. ...

What I liked: Elizabeth Eulberg never fails to disappoint me as a reader. Her stories and engaging and her characters are memorable. It has been a while since I have read The Lonely Hearts Club but I jumped right into We Can Work It Out without missing...
