Enchanted: Erotic Bedtime Stories For Women
Nancy Madore
Spice, 2006
Steamy fairy tales
This group of fairy tales was very steamy and original. It is explicit but written in an old fashioned way that I found extra exciting. Some of the more outstanding stories I thought were Beauty and the Beast, Cat and Mouse, Cinderella, The Empresses' New Clothes and ...

Mirror Mirror: A Novel
Gregory Maguire
Harper Paperbacks, 2004
Still great
While this has been my least favorite of the Maguire books that I've read (although, admittedly I have not read Lost, which I've understood to be not quite Maguire caliber) I am still awarding it 5 stars because it was still one of the most amazing reads! I have said ...

The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Jon Scieszka
Puffin, 1996
A new spin on an old story
This book is the classic story of the "three little pigs" from the wolf's perspective. It is a bit funny, sometimes very funny, but more important, it shows children, that even if you think you KNOW what happened, there is always two sides to every story. It is an ...

My whole family loved this Robert Sabuda book
I'm a fan of clever dimensional art and this book is one of the more impressive works I've seen. But I was most impressed with the fact that the rest of my family was impressed too. They loved these beautiful and ingenious creations that arise from one page after ...

What a HOOT!!
I remember this poem in song form from my childhood. I hadn't thought of it in years, until my grandson told me his teacher had read it to him in his pre-k class. I was delighted to find this book on Amazon.com. I was thrilled to see it's large size, bright colors, ...

The Once and Future King
Terence Hanbury White
Ace Trade, 1996
creative, rich and wonderful
I loved how detailed and orginal the story was. It's like T.H. White instead of trying to tell the complete story of King Arthur, takes little snippets of the parts he thought were particularly interesting or wonderful and makes them beautiful and rich with life and ...

Beastly
Alex Flinn
HarperTeen, 2008
very well done
I very much enjoyed reading this version of Beauty and the Beast, although I would suggest that parents take into account that this teen book is based for a more mature audience. There were definite scenes within the book that were risque'.
