Do You Love Someone?
Joan Walsh Anglund
Harcourt Childrens Books (J), 1971
A touching look at what is really important
Although this is a children's book, it speaks just as well to adults. It is a touching poem that leads us to the conclusion - the one thing that truly matters is that we love someone and that someone loves us.

Beautifully illustrated!
Without a doubt, Morozumi's illustrations are the most beautiful we have seen. The story tells of Santa's decision to use reindeer instead of other animals to make his deliveries. Read this book to see how they were chosen. This continues to be a favorite in our ...

Baseball in April: And Other Stories
Gary Soto
Harcourt Childrens Books (J), 1991
Great storytelling
I discovered Gary Soto's poetry in a public library in Nebraska. Then I read his short stories, my favorite being "Baseball in April." Like his poetry, these stories are beautiful in that they reveal a child's inner thought life; they also show the challenges that ...

Half Magic
Edward Eager
Harcourt Childrens Books (J), 1954
audio books
These audio books help children that are having trouble with the written word. I also use them in the car, so each trip we hear more of the story. The kids love them and I think it makes them interested in reading.

Wings
Jane Yolen
Harcourt Childrens Books (J), 1991
A wonderful book
This rendition of Daedalus and Icarus cemented this tale as one of my favorites in mythology. Yolen, as always, tells the story for young and old so all may enjoy it. Nolan's illustrations help me understand why Icarus wants to fly so high into the beautiful sky. I ...

There Is a Dragon in My Bed
S. Joslin
Harcourt Childrens Books (J), 1961
"Will you join me in some turtle soup?"
My mother got this book for me as a child. I am now 16 years old and as a family we still laugh reading this book. It is a silly and delightful introduction to the French language. I recommend this book for anyone between 1 and 150.

My most beloved MacDonald book!
When I received this as a gift, I had already read and thoroughly delighted in "At the Back of the North Wind," "The Princess and the Goblin," "The Princess and Curdie," and "The Golden Key." When you read MacDonald, if your heart is right, you feel sheltered--the ...
