Not what I was expecting 1 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

If you love the "If you give a mouse a cookie" books - this is not it! It is pretty much a very simple counting book. Not what I was hoping to show my 4 and 5 year olds. It is not very long and the pages are very sturdy, so it would be great for a toddler. My boys were not that impressed with it and neither was I.

Very disappointing 1 out of 5 stars.

We love the "If you give" books and thought this would be a great addition to our library. I was very disappointed when it arrived and I went to read it to my kids. There isn't a story. It's just very few words per page and a very basic counting book. Would not recommend it in the future.

Merry Christmas Mouse! 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I was not aware that the book was a small board book. I intended to use it for my classroom, but reconsidered because of size and being a board book.

Different from the other If You Give books, but not bad 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book is definitely not the same format as the other If You Give books. As another reviewer mentioned, it is primarily a counting books without many words. However, my toddler enjoyed it. We had a good time pointing out and examining the many ornaments on the last page.

Join Mouse from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie as he decorates his Christmas tree in a holiday counting adventure.

Editorial Review:

Ah, mice. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. Laura Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond, creators of the bestselling picture books If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Take a Mouse to the Movies, are back with If You Take a Mouse to School. As you might imagine, there are great risks in bringing your mouse to school. For starters, he'll ask you for your lunchbox. And then a sandwich. And a snack for later. Still not satisfied, he'll want to participate in everything from math to soccer. Children and adults alike will revel in the hilarious, very cute illustrations of the mouse in the classroom: hanging from the top corner of the blackboard to spell (aptly enough) "precocious" and "adrenaline," writing "'Goodnight Mouse' by Mouse," sitting inside the boy's open backpack playing with a yo-yo, etc. This book is more episodic in nature than the truly cause-and-effect formula of the previous books: "If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it." Nonetheless, kids who know and love this rollicking read-aloud series will laugh and play to see a mouse at school. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson

Charming 5 out of 5 stars.

A wonderful companion to the Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls. Having the dolls to hold while hearing the stories inspires my children's playtime. The stories are as sweet as Raggedy Ann's candy heart, and as timeless.

Raggedy Ann and Andy fan 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I have been collecting Raggedy Ann and Andy for the last 18 years and I have quite a collection of dolls. Last Christmas, my parents bought me a vintage christmas book of theirs and I absolutely fell in love with it. Hence, the reason I am buying this book. It is beautiful illustrated and emphasizes why i feel in love with them in the first place.

Editorial Review:

Beloved dolls for the ages...

Ninety years ago a story about a rag doll found in a grandmother's attic captured the hearts of Americans. Through many generations Raggedy Ann and Andy and their stories have been shared between parents and children and grandparents and grandchildren. This new collection combines those stories of adventure, friendship, and devotion in one volume that begs to be read aloud!

Miss Spider's Tea Party 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Our daughter was enjoying the game until the ant maze. She became so upset and started crying when the ant frantically states it was lost and was going to be late for the party. This game was not very encouraging.
I would not recommend this game if you have a child who likes more positive reinforcement than, oh no I am lost or going to be late ( and in their interpretation it is all because of them.)

Miss Spider's Tea Party 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Very cute story. I bought my niece the Fisher-Price tea party set and bought this book to go with it. The story is short but the pictures are adorable and very colorful. I would recommend this book. My niece is 1 1/2, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over 3.

Editorial Review:

"Miss Spider can't understand why insects flee in panic at her approach. Being a florivore herself, she only wants to invite them over for cakes and tea. The ironic air wafting through Kirk's rhymed tale will not be lost on young readers, and the insects in the big, brightly colored illustrations beear comically apprehensive expressions as they hastily depart . . . At last, Miss Spider is able to convince a rain-soaked moth of her good intentions . . . A sweet tale" --School Library Journal

Book Review By MENDIOLA ROOM #B1 a
Scooby Do The Search for Scooby Snacks

If you like cartoon books you are in the right place. You'll like reading this book.
I like Scooby do because it is very, very funny book.
This story is about Scooby and Shaggy looking for their food that was lost. A bear was eating it. In my opinion this book is very good because you will laugh all through and enjoy the book from beginning to end. This book showed me not to leave my snacks on the floor because someone could come and eat them. This
Book is very funny. YOVANI

WHEN I ORDERED THE BOOK I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO READ TO MY NEW FIRST GRADERS. HOWEVER, IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE TYPE MY 15 MONTH GRANDDAUGHTER LIKES, A CHUNKY STYLE BOOK. SO, I GAVE IT TO HER.

Lovable, adorable, not-quite-organized Mouse, from IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE, is back in this fun board book that's perfect for toddlers and pre-schoolers.

It's time for school, but Mouse is definitely not ready. He can't find his notebook, his pencils, or his homework. It's time to search, and Mouse sure finds a lot of things - his crayons, his doctor's kit, his cookies.

But it's time to leave, and there's still no homework in sight!

Young children will delight in the further adventures of Mouse, and this would even be a quick, easy story for beginning readers.

Great BIG book. 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Wow, this book is REALLY big. It's a big, heavy hardcover. MUCH BIGGER than we expected. The stories and illustrations are just what you'd expect from Curious George, and our son really likes it. It comes with FIVE CDs, and each audio track begins with "Out story begins on the page where George is doing XXX with YYY" so the children can flip to the correct story without grownup help (in theory, that is. In practice it's not so easy, because there's so many pages that it's just too hard to find).

I would have given it FIVE STARS, except for one thing: the only thing I would have done differently is put the stories with and without page-turn signals on separate CDs. Each CD has two versions of each audio track - with and without page turns, but that means there are less stories per CD, and that when you play a CD it plays each story twice.

Editorial Review:

This handsome gift set includes the top-selling The Complete
Adventures of Curious George plus an unabridged audio collection.
Featuring not only all seven original Curious George stories (Curious
George, Curious George Flies a Kite, Curious George Gets a Medal,
Curious George Goes to the Hospital, Curious George Rides a Bike,
Curious George Takes a Job, and Curious George Learns the
Alphabet), the special collector's edition also includes a bonus photo
album of the Reys, an introduction by Leonard Marcus, and an essay
by Dee Jones. The book is packaged with five CDs that include audio
recordings of the stories, available with and without turn signals, for
three and a half hours of entertainment. CDs are packaged in
reusable paper slipcase.

Pretty solid book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book consists of three stories. The first one, about Batman facing off against the Scarecrow, is by far the strongest of the three. The second one, about the Mad Hatter, is still pretty good. It's more about Bruce Wayne, and I was appreciative of the fact that they showed that Batman is human. The third one is the weakest of the trio. However, the strength of the former two storeies more than make up for the flaws of the latter. The artwork in all three stories was superb by the way.

Good read, nothing special 3 out of 5 stars.

It's composed of three stories, the stories are nothing special. They seem like just another day in the dark knight's life.

The worst of Sale/Loeb series 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This was the last of the three graphic novels by Sale/Loeb that I read (the other two being Dark Victory and The Long Halloween). It added no value and was not worth reading. The major plus is the art other than that I would skip this collection.

Editorial Review:

In the city of the demented villains, Halloween brings out the worst of the lot. This edition collects three of Batman's Halloween adventures in which he takes on some of the most fearsome and twisted foes--The Scarecrow, The Mad Hatter, and The Penguin. Graphic novel format. Available in September.

AN absolute necessity for the Eloise lover 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this book for my granddaughter, and almost couldn't give it to her because I wanted to keep it for myself! It has the traditional Eloise stories, which are great, but the real jewel here is the back section of the book. In this section you'll find photos of many of the Eloise products through the years, and a lovely history of the little girl and how she grew to be America's most precocious, most lovable six year old.

Editorial Review:

Here is everything you need to know about

Eloise

who is celebrating her 50th anniversary though she is still not a day over six. In the front of this book we have printed the original Eloise story & pictures and in the back of it there are sketches and stories by Mr. Hilary Knight (the Artist) and photographs of Miss Kay Thompson when she was young and fabulous and rawther like Eloise and absolutely loads of informationthat you simply cawn't cawn't cawn't get anywhere else. Here's the thing:

Whether you are just about to fall in love with Eloise or have already baked her a cake you ought to have this book. (Charge it please and thank you very much.)

Winter Fun For All 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

The cutest dog in books teams up with The-Girl-in-Purple-Sneakers for a lot of snowy Winter fun.

Biscuit and company have a fun day in the snow. There are snowmen to build, snow angels and snow puppies to make. There is even sledding. Then the day ends cuddled in front of a warm fireplace with a mug of hot Cocoa.

Delightful illustrations are what really drive the Biscuit books and this one is no exception. Simple descriptions and the Woof, Woof of Biscuit show some of the fun that can be had in the snowy days of winter. The board book pages are very thick and sturdy.
