5-0 out of 5 stars WHAT A DELIGHTFUL BOOK - WOULD BE A GREAT PRESENT FOR THE DRAGON LOVER
I was truely impressed with this offering.This is a wonderful little book about just what the title indicates "Dragonology."The entire book is producted in a sort of medieval mode, with wonderful illustrations.The books if filled with maps, puzzels, drawings, anatomy lessons (dragons of course), life styles (again, dragons) types, habits, origins, lore and even riddles.The work is quite a combination of originality and pure imagination from the author.This is one of those books that might first appear to be classified as juvinal, but it is so much more.The art work alone is worth the price of the book.The text is imaginative yet quite realistic in it's presentation.As I said, I was truely impressed with this one and highly recommend it.This would make a wonderful gift for any lover of dragons, dragon lore or for that matter just a fun read.

5-0 out of 5 stars LET YOUR IMAGINATION SORE!
If you like dragons, this is for you. Dragonology is a book for any age. It's cool that they show dragon skin and dragon dust. This book gave me more info on dragons, and I believe in dragons. I read in one night and I am always going back to it. I love dragons more, than I did, before I read the book. This book will leave you with all smiles.

5-0 out of 5 stars Fascinating look at the "real" world of the legendary dragon
"Authored" by noted dragonologist "Dr. Ernest Drake," "Dragonology" is a short but concise "encyclopedia" for anyone interested in the winged creatures of international lore.Divided into eight chapters, covering such diverse topics as "dragons of the world," "dragon biology and physiology," and "dragon behaviour," the book is profusely illustrated and generously features such hands-on additions as "dragon dust" and pieces of "dragon skin," all designed to satisfy even the casual dragon fan.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Complete Tales of Beatrix Potter
This was my first purchase from Amazon and I was very pleased with the professional service and the quick delivery of my order

5-0 out of 5 stars A staple for every home library
How wonderful it has been to get reintroduced to all of Potter's sweet characters.My mom had a small board book collection when I was growing up and I forgot all about these stories.There is just something so warm and relaxing about them.My four year old is loving them (they're a bit too long for my two year old's attention span and she usually wanders away after awhile).However you just can't go wrong with this book--it's a classic and definitely timeless.My only suggestion is that sometimes a "complete" edition is the cheaper route to go, but it does make for a heavy book for little ones to tote around or try to flip through.So if you are looking for something to be a more kid friendly you may want to purchase the individual stories separately.

5-0 out of 5 stars We love this book!
My daughter is only 20 months old now, but we began reading this book to her at about 14 months.She has learned the names of fruits in spanish and how to count to 5 within a couple of weeks of beginning to read it.It is one of her favorite books along with "Oso pardo, Oso pardo...".This is one of the required books for a spanish class that she will be beginning when she turns 2.As a spanish speaker it is a really easy book for me to read with fun pictures that my daughter enjoys. Even now she loves to put her fingers in the holes to count the fruit.For parents/caregivers who are not quite as experienced in reading spanish, it may be a little difficult to pronounce some of the words, but with some help you should be able to read the words effortlessly after a few times.My parents and in-laws don't speak much english and they love reading these spanish books to their granddaughter.It's a great way for them to bond.

5-0 out of 5 stars Spanish version of a classic!
This Spanish version of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" is just as cute as the English version.Children will love the pages of varying sizes with holes where the caterpillar has eaten up the food.
5-0 out of 5 stars So cool!
In case you aren't familiar with this book, it is about a caterpillar who eats and eats and eats.The board book version has holes in the pages so the reader can see what he has eaten.It is so cute!The illustrations are adorable and the kids love it!We are a bilingual family so my boys have the Spansih version.It's super and very durable! ...

5-0 out of 5 stars An unforgettable book!
Poor little birdie came into this world and his mother was out getting him his first meal. He goes through a series of, "Are you my mother?" to planes, cows, dogs, until he almost gives up. As this book unravels, you cheer on the birdie while he goes through his wonders of who he feels a sense of belonging to. P.D.Eastman uses repitition and adds easy drawings to perfect a child's love and want to hear this book OVER AND OVER again. One of the first books I learned to read by and still own the same raggedy copy.

5-0 out of 5 stars Are you my favorite book?
Our Grand daughter acts out this entire book with dramatic embellishments and subtle interpretation.It is the most interactive book a youngster from 6 months on can love and enjoy forever.

1-0 out of 5 stars I loved this book as a child...but it's really inappropriate now!
First, let me say that I learned to read from this book. When I was a kid I knew all the words and I loved it! But then again, I didn't know any better, and frankly, neither did my mom and dad. I was lucky in that the book applied to me: I looked like my mom and dad and therefore the message of the book, that your mother is the one who looks most like you, was seemingly harmless.

4-0 out of 5 stars My 2-year old loves it.
This book does not do much for me, but my 2-year old son absolutely loves it.The book gives him a chance to make animal sounds, and the raised texture of the spider web invites his touch.Of course he is fascinated by the spider herself.
4-0 out of 5 stars Good message, but not so entertaining
My daughter is 3 months old, and she will listen to this story since it is short.I love the message.I would give it 5 stars, but she doesn't get absorbed in it like The Very Hungry Catapillar.

5-0 out of 5 stars As good as the first :-)
This is such a cute book.I like it as much as the first book from Gloria.Noelle goes on a treasure hunt looking for gold but finds much more in the way of treasures other than gold.It has a nice underlying message of friendship and kids of all ages (even older kids - like me) will love it.She's got the same kind of beautiful pictures in here and making it visually appealing is as important as the story itself.

I bought this on a whim because my children love dinosaurs right now (just like all kids I guess).It's become a bedtime favorite of theirs.
5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Dinosaur Lovers.
My son loves these books.He laughs and giggles the whole way through.The fact that she puts all the names of the dinosaurs hidden in the pictures for the parents to see is great.It gives me an answer for the inevitable "what kind is that one, mom?"
4-0 out of 5 stars Great book!

3-0 out of 5 stars Silly book kids will like to read around Halloween.
Poor Oscar Myer wiener dog (a hotdog dog) gets teased all the time. The bully dogs are always laughing at him because of his size and shape. For Halloween, Oscar's mom buys him a costume that is a hotdog roll with mustard on it. Oscar is so embarrassed, but wears it to avoid hurting his mothers feelings. Oscar gets laughed at once again but the story twists to allow Oscar a chance to be a hero. Oscar wins the respect of the bullies and they all share their Halloween dog treats with him. Silly story with decent, basic illustrations.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Hallo-wiener
An adorable book that my preschool children want to hear again and again. This is a standard book in my preschool during the month of October. It is so funny with a lesson to boot!

5-0 out of 5 stars "Frank-ly" my dear, this book never gets old!
Dav Pilkey has written a most delightful book that addresses lots of kids issues: being different from your friends, trying to please parents, but best off all, wanting to be a hero!

1-0 out of 5 stars Board book is far off from description Amazon uses (hardcover)
I remember liking this book as a child and I thought I could get this book for my daughter.The board book has been so abridged that it lacks a lot of things that I thought were funny.AND what about that "climatic ending" where the apples all topple - Not there! I wouldn't even recognize the wording in the board book as Dr. Suess's.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not a great fan of this one, just not really appealing
One of the books which I keep wondering why I don't really like it. But there are lots of small reasons, none of them major but they all add up.

5-0 out of 5 stars Delightful from beginning to end
As a parent, this may very well be my favorite bedtime story.Don't judge the book based on the TV show-- it is much better!Max and Ruby are making birthday cakes for Grandma.Max is making an earthworm cake but Ruby wants to make an angel surprise cake with rasbery fluff frosting.Despite Ruby's increasingly restrictive instructions, Max keeps knocking her ingredients off the table, and Ruby keeps sending him to the store with a shopping list for replacements.Max wants red hot marshmellow squirters to top off his cake, and his attempts to communicate this to the grocer make up the heart of the story.
4-0 out of 5 stars Bunny Cakes
This is an excellent picture book for young children. The story line is simple and easy for kids to connect with. Many children have siblings and can relate to Max and Ruby. The illustrations are heart warming and draw the reader in. Rosemary Wells repitition of events within the plot make her an excellent storyteller. Bunny Cakes is an endearing story.

4-0 out of 5 stars should be part of every pet-loving child's and adult's library
this book really helped me get over the loss of my beloved pet fish, Mr. Furious. Well, not "get over"- those who've loved animals know there is no "getting over" the loss of a dearly departed pet. There is only solace in the good memories we have of them. I enjoyed this lovely book. It gave a very warm and hopeful portrait of the after life. I intend to buy a copy for myself and for my young niece who recently lost her favorite kitty. Sylvia is a terrific author!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book for children with loss of pet
This book is great if you have children who has lost a pet or a loved one that has a hard time coping with a loss of their pet. They do a wonderful job easing the pain and explain that our pets will also be on the other side for us.The loss of our pets are similar to a loss of a person, we interact with each on a daily basis.If any of you have pets then you know each one has their own personality and are the closest thing to angels.They protect us and always have unconditional love for us.

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Collection!
I have been reading this book aloud to my 8yo daughter and 6yo son.Even though my son initially showed no interest when I brought the book out (robots and dinosaurs are more his thing) he has been riveted, and my animal-loving daughter has been especially interested in each story, and each picture.
5-0 out of 5 stars This gift to our grandchildren will be special.
I've had the pleasure of reading all of the James Herriot books.The stories and wonderful illustrations in this book
5-0 out of 5 stars outstanding book to read to small ones at bedtime
With two small boys, I think I've read or have become acquainted with much of the literature available for parents who read to their children in the evening.This setting of James Herriot's stories, with their accompanying illustrations, is top notch, head and shoulders above anything else I've seen.The stories are heartwarming but realistic enough to avoid being saccharine--animals die or get injured--and the overall message is a good one:it's our responsibility to care for God's creation, especially the animals we have. ...

Editorial Review

One night, the sounds of New York City--the rumbling of subway trains, thrumming of automobile tires, hooting of horns, howling of brakes, and the babbling of voices--is interrupted by a sound that even Tucker Mouse, a jaded inhabitant of Times Square, has never heard before. Mario, the son of Mama and Papa Bellini, proprietors of the subway-station newsstand, had only heard the sound once. What was this new, strangely musical chirping? None other than the mellifluous leg-rubbing of the somewhat disoriented Chester Cricket from Connecticut. Attracted by the irresistible smell of liverwurst, Chester had foolishly jumped into the picnic basket of some unsuspecting New Yorkers on a junket to the country. Despite the insect's wurst intentions, he ends up in a pile of dirt in Times Square.Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Falls Short of Wind in the Willows
When I read Wind in the Willows, I thought no other book could match its calm, slow, elegant pace, but this book does.However, I didn't find it measuring up to Wind in the Willows as far as a literary work goes.Why not?They're both written very eloquently (although I did think Wind in the Willows had some unnecessarily advanced vocabulary) and they both had outstanding and lovable characters.What's A Cricket in Times Square missing?I looked at all of the reviews here, and couldn't figure out why I didn't want to give A Cricket in Times Square any more than three stars.Then it hit me.Location!Lack of location to be exact.
4-0 out of 5 stars the cricket in times square

4-0 out of 5 stars Fun Book
It is a fun book, lots of colors and pop ups.However, the pop ups are thin and I can see a child easily grabbing them and tearing them off.It is a good, entertaining book though.

Rebecca Estelle hates pumpkins. "What's not to like?" you may be thinking. Certainly, pumpkins are benign, as far as gourds go, and they make for delicious pies. But if you were forced to eat Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Great story about giving and letting go.
Linda White, the author, did a superb job of telling this story, which was inspired by her aunt during the days of the depression. An elderly woman, Rebecca Estelle, loves her garden. She enjoys planting her flowers and food for the year with her pet cat as her company. Rebecca hates pumpkins because her family had to eat nothing but that for years when they were poor. She has vowed to never even look at another pumpkin again, but her kindness takes over and as the story unravels she realizes that pumpkins hold a special place in her heart. Adorably detailed pictures with a great feeling of autumn and fall days.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great book
This is a good book to share with kids in the Fall.I read this to my kids once and they were hooked.Ages 4-8 is right on target with this book.I did give this one as a gift to a five year old girl who has a birthday in the Fall and we were told that she loved it. When her parent's took her pumpking picking she kept talking about story in this book.My kids did the same.

5-0 out of 5 stars A fantastic fall book.
Too Many Pumpkins really captures the fall/Halloween mood.The illustrations are marvelous--I love the look of the exploding pumpkins, and the cat's colors and expressions are perfect!Descriptions detailing all the pumpkin dishes the woman makes add to the feeling, and I loved seeing all her jack-o-lanterns!The townspeople really seem like ordinary people anyone could run into--I especially like the dad in the down jacket and his young child.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite
My toddler LOVES this book. And the term Be-bo is affectionately used in our house because of this book.You can't go wrong with any Sandra Boynton books but this one is very fun to read.

5-0 out of 5 stars Love the hippos and their belly b's!
My son, husband and I all love the Belly Button Book!It is so fun to read, funny, and the hippos are so cute!My son is 19 months-old and loves all the Sandra Boynton books.They keep the attention of younger kids and have great pictures.

5-0 out of 5 stars My baby loves this book!
The product information for this book says "ages 4-8."I would guess that kids that age would enjoy it, but it isdefinitely written for little kids to have read to them by parents, who will love it just as much.It's a board book, so the youngest in your family can chew on it to their heart's content.It's cute.It's funny.It contains puns adults will get without making the kids feel left out.It has a nice rhythm and rhyme.It's just generally a great deal of fun!!!! ...
