My Grandson loves Thomas the Train so buying the book has increased more time we spend together. He loves to sit on my lap and have me read to him. And the stories keep his attention and we love this book.

Best Thomas Book We Have 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

We got this book for my Thomas Fan two years ago and it's been a bedtime story read every single night since. It even goes on vacation with us.
It has original stories and art. And a nice blue ribbon to hold place. It's a well loved book in this house and none of us get tired of it.
A must for all Thomas Fans.

I bought this to replace the original lost in a home fire. My grandsons love it. We wear miner flashlights at night on our heads and read the stories in the dark. A great read.

2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have purchased the full set of Laura Numeroff books for all 4 of my children. They were the favorite books of my son who passed away at the age of 10 due to brain cancer a few years ago. I am now purchasing the books for my grandson due in December. I have pre-ordered her new books. These are the greatest books!!! Every child (family) should own them!!!!!

Great books, thin pages 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

My 6 year old loves Biscuit books so I got him this one for his birthday. It's really a good price for so many of the books. He is very proud of himself as he completes each book because he's read a lot of pages in a big book. If I were to complain I would say the pages are a little thin so you have to be careful not to tear them. Overall though I would recommend this. My son holds on to this like a favorite toy, being sure to keep it away from his little sister. Who wouldn't want their child to treasure a book!

Great Robin Origin 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I enjoy this book more than The Long Halloween which where this book picks off. It is really not a continuation per-se but another murder mystery very similar to Holiday killer in The Long Halloween but just picks up the story where it left off. What made this book more interesting was the origin of Robin which is a lot more interesting than Harvey Dent's backstory and arguably more interesting than Bruce Wayne's history! In this book, Robin actually makes himself useful as he would have to in order to convince Batman to take him in as a partner. There are some new, refreshing villains in this book such as Penguin and Mr Freeze! A better read than the previous book in my opinion.

A Worthy Long Halloween Followup 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Dark Victory expands upon The Long Halloween, and has a story interesting enough to please fans of Loeb's original Batman-mob story. Robin isn't played heavily, which is a good thing for me, but any Batman fans should pick this up.

Wonderful Seller! In perfect condition! 5 out of 5 stars.

It was just what my husband wanted, in perfect condition and half the price of the trendy comic stores! I am extremely happy!

I love all the curious George books. Who Doesn't?

author of "Hobo Finds A Home"

Good 5 out of 5 stars.

Good book. It's one of the older George stories and drawings, not one of the newer George stories and drawings.

Editorial Review:

Splash! The aquarium is a big place for a little monkey, and there is so much to see. George's curiosity soon helps him to make lots of penguin friends . . . and lots of trouble!

Editorial Review:

The first of three books in an exciting new series, The Book of Harry Potter Trifles, Trivias and Particularities is designed to delight and challenge Potter fans of all ages. Its nine quests, each built around a different aspect of wizardry — Hogwarts and Academia, Potions and Spells, Magical Menagerie, and others — contain questions in three skill levels: Salamander, Phoenix, and Dragon. These magical creatures increase in size, just as the questions increase in difficulty. All are associated with the element of fire, which is said to govern leadership, enthusiasm, and competitiveness, making it an ideal theme for question difficulty. An answer key at the end of each quest allows readers to check their answers by question number, with the source of the answer cited according to book and chapter number. Scattered throughout, hints and intriguing trivia tidbits, including little-known historical facts referenced in the Potter series, keep readers informed, engaged, and entertained.

My Three-Year Old Nephew Loves This Book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My nephew loves Scooby Doo, but he has a rather short attention span, so I was a little worried that this book wouldn't be read much. However, he will sit still for a full story, so this book turned out to be a great gift.

kids love it but long stories 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The stories are very long but the kids absolutely love Scooby and usually pick this book out for bedtime reading. The only problem I have is that each story has a different font and some of the fonts are squiggly and hard to read and make my eyes water and blur and it's hard to focus. It's weird but if you have the book you'll know what I mean!

Great Value 5 out of 5 stars.

4 ½ Georgie Dans Le Forest 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

When the now iconic Man in the Big Yellow Hat warns Curious George,"now don't wander off and get into trouble," we know exactly what's about to happen instead (especially since he had already rushed off). Despite his good intentions, George adventures turn into misadventures: Dousing someone's campfire, getting lost with a galloping deer, and being sprayed by a skunk that George thought was a cat. As usual in these series (story by Margret Rey, with illustrations by a team in the style of the late H.A. Rey), George's curiosity also leads to some monkey heroics. He also learns how to get rid of skunk smell (a vat of tomato juice).

Given its forest setting, this is a somewhat quieter `George book,' but there are soft forest and animal drawings and enough action for the small ones. Curious George is now "a registered trademark of the Houghton Mifflin," but the company encourages young readers to look for the `original adventures about Curious George' by the Reys. 24 pages, with pencil and watercolor illustrations on each one.

Editorial Review:

George and the man with the yellow hat are going camping! George tries to be helpful, but after he upsets a neighboring camper, he is chased into the woods and gets lost. Before long, an encounter with a cute forest creature throws George into a chain of outrageous events that allows him to find a way to be helpful after all.

Life's a Beach ...George!! 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

This book and Curious George himself takes me back to a gentler time. A time when I was young and a time when my son was young. He and I LOVE to read all about George's silly mishaps daily.

This book was an automatic favorite because we live in Rhode Island and live at the beach in the summer. So he would always take this book and his george doll down in his bag. These stories are filled with laughter and love, two things a child can't get enough of and there is usually even a good manners lesson taught to George too that they don't soon forget.

So, any of the Curious George series is a winner with our family...and we don't even live near the "man with the yellow hat". lol*

Have fun and make each night a night you read to your child...it's so important. I even read to him in the womb each night. He talked early and certainly knew my voice almost immediately.

A winner any way you look at it. : ) Thank you George.

Editorial Review:

One hot summer day, George and the man with the yellow hat go to the beach. What fun George has at the beach! What fun he has feeding the seagulls! It's fun, that is, until they fly away with something valuable and George must find a clever way to save the day.

Scooby Stickers 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book for my niece. She absolutely loved the book due to the content but I thought there could have been more stickers included. Still, a good buy for the young fan.

Great gift! 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I bought this as a gift for my niece. She had it on her Amazon wishlist. She was very happy to receive this. I would have like to have known that this book was very thin. There wasn't much to it. Overall, my niece loved it.

Cute, but a little overpriced 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Definitely cute, if you are a Scooby-Doo fan like all my kids are, but the book is pretty thin---I would say 20 pages or so and for the money I'm not sure it was worth it.

Too difficult for age 4 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The stickers in this book were colorful and fun. Putting them in the correct spot is another story. The pages have vague shapes that resemble the shapes of the stickers. The outlines to place the shapes were too vague for my 4-year-old to place the stickers himself. There are also no realy story lines on the pages so it's not that much fun to put the stickers on the pages. Which is probably why the stickers ended up on my wall :(

The book is great for the stickers but could use some improvement to really fit the age range it's being marketed to.

Editorial Review:

See all your favorite Scooby characters in this sticker book, including Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, and Fred. There are more than 60 stickers of the Mystery Inc. gang and the ghastly ghouls they unmask. Have a hauntingly good time!
