Fablehaven
Brandon Mull
Aladdin, 2007
Awesome story
I really enjoyed this book. Others who enjoyed should check out a new author, Jessica Hale. Her debut novel is called "The Glass Eye: Search for the Ancient Scroll". These are two great fantasy stories.

What a FUN book! My two-year-old son loves this book and I love to read it to him. The words have a great cadence and I find myself singing each page! The pictures are very primitive which is nice (no sensory overload) and it helps young children to learn their ...

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Judi Barrett
Aladdin, 1982
A book I read as a child and now my children adore!
As a young girl I read this book over and over, picturing myself as a citizen of Chew-and-Swallow, a town where it rains tomato soup and hot dogs, pancakes and eggs over easy, orange juice and spaghetti with meatballs.
I loved the detailed illustrations and the humor. ...

This book should be a classic, it demonstrates how a child can rebel against his teachers and yet do it in a positive way. Nick Allen is a bit of a troublemaker in school; he has many "good" ideas and is always trying them out. He reaches fifth grade, and the only ...

A great way to soothe the bruises of life with your child!
My children just loved this story and who doesn't think they want to run away at one time or another? It is a day that each of us have and even the little one next to you understands that. The pen and ink illustrations are fantastic. I used to buy them by the dozen and ...

The second book of Fablehaven is ...
