Very moving story! I recommend!

Wow. This book made me laugh a lot... But I can't decide on how many of my friends and family it would offend if I offered it to them to read... Oh, Stephen. :)

Bought this one for my daughter since she enjoys the Diary of a Wimpy kid so much. It is pretty humorous writing, but man, is that little girl snarky! As long as my daughter doesn't adopt the same attitude, I'm cool with her reading the series.

So, I'm not sure it's such a big deal that the author has figured out that or DNA spells out God's name... I think all of his other messages in this book are what's important. It's important to care about the future of human existence, and to start thinking ahead, if we want human kind to realize its full potential. I believe one of the most powerful points he made was that if humans are going to live for many more generations to come, our best strategy is cooperation, not competition. Thought provoking book!

Whether introvert or extrovert, you need to read this book! For introverts, it will help you value and accept yourself. For extroverts, you will finally see and understand what the world of an introvert looks like. I highly recommend this book!

Another great science book for the pre-school/Kindergarten/Elementary ages. My son is still talking about this book a week later!

I read this to my son for school. A very detailed, yet simple children's book about all the people of the world. The fascinating illustrations will probably make this book a favorite to read over and over again. :)

Read this to my 5 year old to explain simple machines. The author does a great job at breaking down the parts of each simple machine (pulley, lever, wheel) and explaining how they work!

One of the funniest, most creative approaches to a children's book. A family favorite!

The books in this series are so inspiring. I find I have a hard time not getting choked up at the end. :)

A wonderful story about how the first Ferris wheel came to be. I loved the character Conn, who brought another side of history to the story, the life of an immigrant. Great read aloud book!

The kids enjoyed this one a lot. It's a bit dated in it's language, but was still a fun read. :)

This was a great read aloud book, for all ages! Such a great way to expose kids to a variety of stories from different cultural backgrounds!

I think this might be Rob Bell's best book yet. There's a special kind of joy that rises from my heart when someone articulates things that have been going on in my soul for a while. This is one of those books.

This was an amazing science book that I enjoyed just as much my son did. The author did a great job putting the size of the things in the universe and beyond in perspective, and the illustrations to accompany each analogy were humorous and memorable. I highly recommend this book!

I loved this book. Although this book and the other Susanna Kearsley book I read, “The Winter Sea” both take some time to get into, I really enjoy the history and believable romance that was present in both books. This book, The Rose Garden was one I ended up having to stay up late to read, because I had to know how everything turned out! I'm definitely checking out Susanna's other books!

A thoroughly enjoyable read, all my kids liked this one! I did too. Now that I've finished it, I completely understand the quote from Jim Trelease on the back cover of the book: “You take Little House on the Prairie, I'll take Caddie Woodlawn”.

This was a cute book of Mother Goose rhymes. I don't know if it's my favorite, but I do like it when they keep the original rhymes (not the modern versions) , and this one did.

This is such a neat book that goes through one complete year on a farm, mentioning each month and season, and what's going on during those times on a farm. What's noteworthy about this book is the little-known details about farm life included in this book. I found them mentioning things about real farm life that other cutesy little farm books never recognize, like the chickens laying fewer eggs in the winter, and having to give animals medicine.
Living in the country with a few animals, my son could relate to all of these little details. We really enjoyed reading this book together.

Nothing beats all the Ramona books! Grew up reading her and I'm excited to introduce her to my kids!

So, from what I gather, this book was written after the screenplay? I might have misunderstood. But anyhow, because of that I didn't have very high expectations for this book. It turns out that is was actually pretty good! Right along with the other characters in the story, I had no idea who the wolf was, and was suspicious of everyone! Usually I can figure things out enough to have some kind of hint at what is coming, but when I read the final/bonus chapter online and the wolf was revealed, I have to admit, I didn't see it coming.
That kind of makes me mad, because I should have figured it out. But I didn't. :-)
I suppose now I should go get the movie and watch it!

The ending just didn't fit with the story. It could have been so much better.... it could have still ended the way it did, but it needed to happen a different way to be believable!

What an awesome adventure story, mostly because it's true!!! And I live in Oklahoma! I've seen old (super old) video of these boys' dad, Jack Abernathy catching wolves with his bare hands with Teddy Roosevelt. That was awesome. But then to find out that his boys, at just ages 5 and 9 traveled by themselves on horseback all over the USA, that is just amazing.
It definitely brings up the question of whether we coddle our children a little too much, and don't give kids enough credit for what they are capable of if we would just give them the room to do so.
This is such an easy read, only 162 pages. You should read it!

Pretty cute book.

I read this one to my youngest today. It's such a great message. I think there are several grown-ups I know who need to read it too. :)
