Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose have done it again!
Only this time someone or something has captured poor Winnie, the zoo's main attraction and it's up to someone to find these thieves.
The kidnapper wants 1 million dollars or Green Lawn will never see Winnie again.

Will Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose be able to find the kidnapper or will they be too late to save her?

Who Stole the Panda? 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

That is the question the three sleuths in this mystery must answer.

As always this series deserves high remarks and five stars. There are three children who solve mysteries in this series. They are believable and they are the type of children you want your child to know as friends. They demonstrate the qualities of tenacity, caring, problem solving and honesty.

These mysteries seem to be directed towards children who are about 7 to 9 years old. The reading level is on a lower reading level (2nd grade about). However, my son is 9 and still enjoys reading these books over again.

In this mystery the three must figure out who stole the panda from the zoo and why. They manage to do so and everything turns out alright in the end.

Well worth the money. Enjoy.

Editorial Review:

P is for Panda. . . .

There’s pandemonium in Green Lawn! The town is building a new park for a panda and her baby. But as soon as the pandas arrive, the baby is stolen! All the panda-nappers want in return is a million dollars. . . . Can Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose collar the culprits before Green Lawn has to cough up
the cash?

Short Story About a Long Dog 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I far preferred Pretzel to Curious George because I've always been partial to dogs, especially hounds. I actually knew a little black dachshund named Gretchen and several brown ones named Gretel, so I had to smile at jealous Greta who had a prejudice toward long dogs and rebuffed Pretzel until Pretzel bailed her out of a jam. Greta was also jealous of Pretzel's blue ribbon, which she won in a dog show. Pretzel demonstrates class and character to help one who had never been nice to her.

It was my favorite as a kid 5 out of 5 stars.

This was one of my favorite books as a kid and we always had dachshunds so I bought a replacement for my kids. It's a very cute story!

Pretzel 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Pretzel is so cute.He is so big and cute. He had four other siblings. Pretzel started getting wider and wider. He was the tallest dachund ever. Pretzel one his first award at a dog show. All the dogs and the people admired him. Only one dog didn't Greta. Greta didn't like long dogs. Pretzel was a hero after he rescued Greta. See Greta got stuck in a hole. Thanks to his long body he was a hero. Greta and Pretzel got married!

Editorial Review:

The longest dachshund in the world, Pretzel is admired by all and the winner of a blue ribbon at the dog show. Only Greta, the little dachshund across the street, doesn't care for long dogs. At least not until she gets into a jam out of which only a long dog can help her. This classic story of puppy love will win the hearts of both old and new Pretzel fans.

A Book Review by Jenny C. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I read a book called The Bald Bandit by Ron Roy. It's about a bandit who robs the Green Lawn Savings Bank. The three detectives (Dink, Josh, Ruth Rose) solved the mystery. When a private detective named Reddy came to look for the videotape the three detectives decided to help him. Reddy said if they found the videotape they would earn a hundred bucks.

My favorite part of the book was when Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose got the videotape and they watched the tape and they noticed it was Reddy who robbed the bank. When Reddy was at Dink's house ready to get the video, Dink hid it and gave him a tape of soccer. Ruth Rose sneaks into her house and calls the police. I think the thief was pretty smart.

I think the book was a perfect fit for me because I love reading mystery books. When I read this book at home I can't stop reading it until I finish.

Editorial Review:

B is for Bandit... The Green Lawn Savings Bank has been robbed! When a

private detective comes to Dink's door looking for the kid who videotaped the

crime, Dink and his friends volunteer to find him. After all, there's a reward!

But tracking down one red-headed kid isn't so easy, especially if he doesn't

want to be found. Can the trio find that kid--and his tape--before the bandit

does?

Kids determined to put together the best Mother's Day lunch 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

With this Level 2 focus on independent reading skills, kids will more readily move from beginning reader to enjoying more complex tales with paragraphs and short chapters. What better place to start than with Henry and Mudge & The Funny Lunch, Cynthia Rylant's zany story of kids determined to put together the best Mother's Day lunch ever ? against all odds?color drawings add to the appeal.

another Henry and Mudge 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Another Henry and Mudge... we love the series (have everything offered in paperback), but this one wasn't quite up "Henry and Mudge and the Green Time" or "Henry and Mudge and the Happy Cat". My son, nevertheless, wants to make me a funny lunch next Mother's Day. If you love the series, get it. If you are new to Henry and Mudge, start with some of the first books in the series.

Editorial Review:

Every year Henry and his dad (with help from Mudge, of course) make Henry's mother a funny lunch for Mother's Day. Shopping for their juicy, crunchy surprise is fun, and preparing it is even more fun. But sharing it with Henry's mother is the most fun of all!

Se acerca el final (apenas faltan dos meses para Julio 2007 pero parece una eternidad). ya no es tan fácil librarse de vol... you-know-who. el desenlace no me lo esperaba, mis ojos no podían creer quien parece ser "el malo de la película" ojo, tengo 36 años recién cumplidos y les digo que un poco de fantasía me viene bien en estos tiempos del "cólera" (si les gusta Gabo, ahi tienen otro buen libro :)

el penúltimo Potter 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Me gustó mucho, como toda la serie en general, aunque creo que mis preferidos son los primeros de la serie.
Admiro la creatividad de la escritora.
En general no me gusta esta corriente de buscar en Harry Potter toda una serie de aspectos ocultos:similitudes con los recursos del servicio de seguridad británico? discusiones en universidades sobre su posible final?.
Creo que no debe pedirse a estos libros más de lo que pueden dar, unos muy gratos momentos de esparcimiento, para disfrutar sin necesidad de hacer un análisis de ellos cual si fueran la pista para descifrar los misterios del mundo.

Hooked my 6 year old on reading chapter books 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

My son was reading well, but Junie B, Horrible Harry etc didn't capture his imagination and have him clamoring for more -- but this one, just totally captured his imagination and got to the top of his Christmas wishlist. In fact they got read before all of his toys got opened.
I think, those series(at least the few we did read) have such mundane classroom settings, but flattening Stanley set him free on such fabulous adventures, and the framework of setting it in a normal family with a brother who fights with him and is jealous of him, just totally engaged him. All of the books in the series are really cute.

The boxed set is a great value and includes this 40th anniversary edition which has a cute little flat stanley that you can cut out and mail away on his adventure

Editorial Review:

When Stanley Lambchop wakes up one morning, his brother, Arthur, is yelling.

A bulletin board fell on Stanley during the night, and now he is only half an inch thick!

Amazing things begin happening to him. Stanley gets rolled up, mailed, and flown like a kite. He even gets to help catch two dangerous art thieves. He may be flat, but he's a hero!

In Henry and Mudge in Puddle Trouble you'll see how kids sometimes don't listen to their parents even when they want to. When Henry doesn't listen to his mother's advice about the Morning Glory will he able to fix the problems it causes? Find out why listening to your parents is important when you read this book. If you are the kind of kid who doesn't listen to your mom then this is the book for you. Check out other books in the Henry and Mudge series like Henry and Mudge and the Best Test.

These are such wonderful books about a boy named Henry and the frienship that he shares with his big 180 pound dog Mudge. Nice Illustrations and easy to understand stories. They are great books and my 9 year old nephew loved these when he was in second grade. I bought some of these for him when he was 7. Now my son Ramon who is 7 loves them too.

Who Stole the Money 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This whole series, all by the same author, are just wonderful. They are written to the interest of a 3rd and 4th grade level. However, their reading level is more like that of a 2nd and 3rd grader. This means a wide range of children can read these books and enjoy them.

The three characters that solve the problems are the type of children you want your child to be friends with in real life. They exhibit positive character traits; such as honesty, problem solving, helping friends and more.

In this mystery they help figure out who stole the college money of a man that had been putting on a show with a robot t-rex.

A Wonderful Book for a Beginning Reader! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My 1st grader just loves Henry and Mudge books. They are "chapter" books-- and not "baby" books. But, they are easy to read. (Easier than Magic Tree House, for example.) Plus, this series appeals to both boys and girls (but especially boys).

Note: you might want to purchase Henry And Mudge First Book before this book or with this book. It introduces the characters used in the rest of the series.

Enjoy!

My nephew Wyatt Condon who is now 9 loved these books when he was in second grade. Now my youngest son Ramon who is 7 and in the second grade now loves them. He loves the stories, the illustrations and they are easy to read but not too babyish for children in 1st to 2nd grade. Henry and Mudge books are loved and enjoyed by both of these cousins.

What's wrong with Henry's new tree house?

In Henry and Mudge's twenty-first adventure, Henry's Uncle Jake has built him a tree house. Henry loves tree houses, but Mudge can't climb trees. What fun is a tree house if you can't share it with your best friend?

It is a really cool book 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

You should read this book. It is all about a racehorse, how he got lost and how they found him. It is a really cool story. You should read it sometime.
I'm 8 years old, my name is Lizzy, and this book is just the right level for me.
And I'm not going to give away the whole book to you, but it wasn't too scary that I didn't want to read it. It was just the right amount of scariness.

Editorial Review:

R is for Racehorse . . .

And they’re off! Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose are excited to see Uncle Warren’s new racehorse, Whirlaway, in action. But the night before the big race, the horse disappears! He shows up the next day, just in time to lose the race. Why is Whirlaway suddenly so slow? Can the kids figure it out–or is Whirlaway out of the winner’s circle for good? A to Z Mysteries are fast-paced, collectible mysteries for beginning chapter book readers!
