The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

Kate Dicamillo

Candlewick, 2007

Charming, heart breaking, and beautiful...
I just put this book down. It was absolutely beautiful. I warn you, though, this story is probably not for the sensitive (as demonstrated by the negative responses). Still, I think this is an important story for the overindulged, entitled generations that we are ...

Feed

M.T. Anderson

Candlewick, 2004

Feed for thought
It's easy enough to compare every dystopia book to 1984 or "Brave New World". Yet here's a dystopia book directed towards a completely different audience, we, the internet generation - teenagers. Aside from the completely different sort of world, "Feed" touches on a ...

It's Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex, and Sexual Health (Robie Sex Books)

Robie H. Harris

Candlewick, 2004

Great book
I bought this book to help get through 'the talk' with my daughter. It was very blunt and to the point, but I think that is a great thing.

Ish

Candlewick, 2004

Wonderful!
Here is a picture book that speaks to "the courage to create." Beautifully illustrated, Ish tells of Ramon, the boy with the gift of art. Reading the story, we realize that we all have a little of Ramon with us: the creative soul that wishes to bring forth a vision. ...

It's So Amazing!: A Book about Eggs, Sperm, Birth, Babies, and Families (Robie Sex Books)

Robie H. Harris

Candlewick, 2004

Great book- Real life.
I have read mostly positive reviews about this book and I agree. We used this book for my daughter's Kindergarten body project when she wanted to know about where babies come from and I had no problem reading it to a 5 year old and a 7 year old, mixed genders. ...

Guess How Much I Love You

Sam McBratney

Candlewick, 1996

This Book Makes Me Smile
I love this story. I find myself smiling and getting that warm, fuzzy feeling as the father rabbit and son exchange conversation about how much they love each other, each one topping the other's love. This is one of the first books that I bought for my son because ...

The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of Thread (Tale of ...

Kate Dicamillo

Candlewick, 2006

Teachers, This is a must for your classroom this year.
Since Disney is planning to have this book come out as a movie in December, it is the perfect time to read this book in class. Then the class could go on a field trip to see the movie for a Christmas treat. I love how the book talks to the "reader" and teaches ...

Because of Winn-Dixie

Kate DiCamillo

Candlewick, 2001

Because of Winn Dixie
This is an excellent book to be read to prereaders and for early readers on up to adults. Ms Dicamillo has another book 'The Tales of Desperaux' that is fantastic and will be a full length animated feature motion picture being released on December 19th.

The Dot (Irma S and James H Black Honor for Excellence in Children's Literature (Awards))

Candlewick, 2003

Great Book!
This is a great children's book. I have read a few of this author's books and I like this one the best.

Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village

Laura Amy Schlitz

Candlewick Press, 2007

Truly excellent!
Winner of the 2008 Newberry Medal, Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! was actually written to be performed. Laura Amy Schlitz has written here a series of interconnected monologues and dialogues which, taken together, depict the life of kids of all kinds in a medieval ...

Encyclopedia Mythologica: Fairies and Magical Creatures (Encyclopedia Mythologica)

Candlewick, 2008

another great one
I'll admit I've become a little jaded regarding Sabuda's books. How can he possibly top some of the earlier ones? This one doesn't disappoint though.

The Tiger Rising

Kate Dicamillo

Candlewick, 2002

Quality Literature
I started off by reading this little jewel to my second grade daughter. Before long, I found myself reading this by myself until the very end. I simply could not put it down! The next day I purchased book group copies for my eighth grade classroom. Di Camillo's ...

Library Lion

Michelle Knudsen

Candlewick, 2006

Friends can come in the most unusual ways
"Library Lion" is about, well, it is about many things. First, it is a good story, a rousing story with a happy ending. Second, it is about books, how we love books and want to have them around us. Third, it is about friendship, how we can find friends in the most ...

Yummy Yucky (Leslie Patricelli board books)

Candlewick, 2003

My 22 month old loves this book
This book is LOVED by my 22 month old daughter. We read it several times a day. This is the 2nd Patricelli book I've purchased (We own Big Little...another favorite of hers) and the illustrations are precious and the content very relatable for a toddler.

Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Creatures (Ologies)

Ernest Dr Drake

Candlewick, 2008

Awesome
Perfect; see monsterology! This is an awesome book! The only problem is that it doesn't have as much cool bookletts and things you can interact, but by itself it is really awesome! It has some monsters you would recognize and some new ones!
