Melisande
Submitted by SarahKate on Wed, 04/23/2008 - 16:38.SarahKate's Notes:
This is an excellent fairy tale from E. Nesbit, written about a hundred years ago. A evil fairy who wasn't invited to the princess's christening declares that she shall be bald.... an amusing tale of her wish for ever growing hair follows. This book is a favorite of both our girls (then ages 5 & 8).

Every night the rhyme gets read. Every night Dish and Spoon run away. And every night they return--until tonight! Where can Dish and Spoon be? The rhyme can't go on without them, so Cat, Cow, and Dog set out to search for their missing friends. But where to start? Should they go north? East? Northeast? They'll just have to read Fork's map, ask directions, and try not to get lost in Little Boy Blue's haystack or under Miss Muffet's tuffet or in Big Bad Wolf's kitchen--"FEE, FI, FO . . ." Oh no. Could that be the giant?

Never Tease a Weasel (Picture Book)
Submitted by SarahKate on Thu, 01/03/2008 - 17:35.SarahKate's Notes:
This is a poem that our children's grandmother and father had memorized, and still recite to this day. The illustrations are so-so and I really don't like the ending, how they all 'get along' by watching TV together. But we do love the poem.
 | author: Jean Conder Soule rating:  asin: 0375834206 binding: Hardcover list price: $15.99 USD amazon price: $10.87 USD |
A funny, finger-wagging rhyme with some very good advice: never tease a weasel, because teasing isn't nice! Rather, kids should do nice things for animals, such as bake a drake a cake, or give a mule a pool, and much more. Long out of print, this new edition of Never Tease a Weasel with art by the great New Yorker cartoonist George Booth will surely please a weasel, and everyone else who reads it!
Insects Are My Life (Orchard Paperbacks)
Submitted by SarahKate on Wed, 01/02/2008 - 19:04.SarahKate's Notes:
Though we are not insect lovers, we all enjoyed this book, since our girls identified with Amanda's passionate interest. Beware... Amanda does several unkind things to her brother and others that offend her, things like putting a dead fly in the middle of an ice cube and placing it in a glass of milk.

Loud Emily
Submitted by SarahKate on Wed, 01/02/2008 - 18:56.SarahKate's Notes:
We laughed out loud at how silly Emily sounds as she loudly declares everything. A great book about turning a vice into a virtue.
 | author: Alexis O'Neill rating: asin: 068984669X binding: Paperback list price: $7.99 USD amazon price: $7.99 USD |
Poor Emily. She doesn't mean to be loud, but whenever she says anything in her Emily voice, plates shatter, neighbors are astonished, and birds are frightened right out of the trees. It seems like there's nowhere she fits in. Until the day she sees a ship with a sign that reads: LOUD HELP NEEDED. NOW. So Emily sets sail for an adventure on the high seas, where perhaps there is a place for her after all...

Where does pepper come from? Why do bears hibernate? And why do snails carry their houses on their backs? Because they like to go camping? Of course not! This book asks some of the things kids wonder about, and offers some really creative (but WRONG!) guesses. But you can't fool the kids in this bookthey know all the answers!
