It's Mine!
Leo Lionni
Dragonfly Books, 1996
A Christological Fable
On the surface, this is a simple and sweet tale of three frogs who learn how to share. But as a student of theology and of literature, I must share my insights into this amazing children's book. On a deeper level, this is a Christological parable and a history of ...

Grandfather Tang's Story (Dragonfly Books)
Ann Tompert
Dragonfly Books, 1997
Grandfather Tang's Story
Love this story. I use this book in my math class to teach tangrams. This is an excellent resource to use to teach children how the Chinese puzzle tangrams work. This book was in excellent condition when I received it and I know that I will use it for years to come.

Marjorie Priceman
Dragonfly Books, 1996
Great book!
We had so much fun with this book! We used it with the Five-in-a-Row Homeschool curriculum and enjoyed it so much. Besides being a really neat children's book in general, there is a lot to learn about geography and language and other cultural benefits in this book. ...

Hello Baby!
Dragonfly Books, 2000
One of our favorites!
We have a lot of new baby books, and this was one of our favorites. It gives a lot of information without being overwhelming. It also does not introduce the negative side of siblings. I didn't want to put ideas into our son's head before the baby came. I figured ...

Dragonfly in Amber
Diana Gabaldon
Delta, 2001
Keeps getting better
I'm utterly enthralled with the story of Jamie and Claire! Their story just keeps getting better and better with each book.
Although longer than Outlander, I didn't find Dragonfly boring, even the historical parts. I've never been a real big fan of the 18th Century ...

Hans Wilhelm
Dragonfly Books, 1988
I'll Always Love You
A book I saw when working at the library and thought, someday, I'll need this book. 11 years later I did. Now, it's on a table in my family room, in honor of my father, Nick and yellow lab, Sammy, who both passed early this year, a few months apart and who were best ...

Fish is Fish
Leo Lionni
Dragonfly Books, 1974
Fun to read out loud!
This is a great book if you have small children. They love it because it's fun to read out loud and it isn't so long that you get out of breath. This is a must have that I enjoy reading over and over again and my little ones never get tired of it.

Doris Stickney
Pilgrim Press, 2004
Excellent book
This book is an excellent way to explain death and dying to young children. It really can be used for any age group. It is a wonderful story. I work in a hospice and have used this book for young children and adults love the story.

Me on the Map (Dragonfly Books)
Joan Sweeney
Dragonfly Books, 1998
Explains Tricky Concepts
My daughter is six years old, and it's tough to explain some of the more complex concepts like time and space. This series of books does a great job using colorful illustrations and text that's a lot easier to understand than anything I could come up with myself! ...

The Alphabet Tree (Dragonfly Books)
Leo Lionni
Dragonfly Books, 1990
The Alphabet Tree
The Alphabet Tree is a wonderful spring board book to help emergent readers understand the importance of putting letters together to create words. I have used this book as an addition to other ABC books at the beginning of the school year for 1st grade children. They ...

Frederick
Leo Lionni
Dragonfly Books, 1973
We are Frederick
Although this book is delightful for the kids, Frederick really inspires YOU!
I'm adding this review for the impact it has had on me as an entrepreneur, idea generator, and casual writer. I think Lionni wrote this book autobiographically as someone who was often ...

I need to buy a hardcover edition ...
... because I've worn out the paperback reading it to my kids. It is a favorite with my son (now 7). Wonderfully illustrated. Wonderfully imaginative. Get lost in "The Salamander Room" today.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation (Dragonfly Books)
Mark Teague
Dragonfly Books, 1997
Great fun for back to school
I'm a teacher and like to read this book to my students in the first week of school. Then I pose a challenge to them. I challenge them to tell me about their own summer vacation, but like Wallace, start out with the truth, and then let their imagination take over. I ...

Me and My Amazing Body
Joan Sweeney
Dragonfly Books, 2000
Perfect for young minds!
My 3-year-old son LOVES this book! Very well done and cheery. Fun! I learned some stuff, too! If your kid is into learning about the human body and they're very young, get this book. May be a little "young" for kids 6 and above (although I don't really know, since ...
