These four long stories of silly Eloise adventures are a favorite of our girls (then ages 5 & 8). Eloise is raised entirely by her Nanny, only getting a phone call from her mother on Christmas Eve. She is allowed to wander about and has many interesting adventures with a great abundance of silly details. Eye candy galore.

Snow White: Silver Anniversary Edition
Submitted by SarahKate on Wed, 04/23/2008 - 16:54.SarahKate's Notes:
Wow! We loved the illustrations in this book, a true adaptation of the Snow White tale translated from Brothers Grimm. In the end the wicked queen puts on the red hot slippers and dances to her death, and I realize this is the translation from the original story, but our girls didn't understand why or how this happened. Otherwise, it is a fantastic, gripping read!

Spared by her would-be executioner, Snow White finds a home with seven kindly dwarfs, but the hateful queen who wants her dead will stop at nothing to be the most beautiful woman in the land. A poisoned apple seems to send Snow White to her death, but true love brings her back, and good once again prevails. Paul Heins's graceful words and Trina Schart Hyman's expressive artwork create a dramatic retelling of this classic tale, filled with movement and passion that will enchant readers of all ages.
Cinderella (Golden Kite Honors (Awards))
Submitted by SarahKate on Wed, 04/23/2008 - 16:44.SarahKate's Notes:
Cinderella is a favorite in our home, and this one is full of the tiniest, beautiful details.
 | rating: asin: 0439561450 binding: Hardcover list price: $15.99 USD amazon price: $11.99 USD |
Poor Cinderella, who is relegated to a dingy garret room by her duplicitous stepmother and beleaguered by her nasty stepsisters, never gives in to hostility or revenge. Instead, this sweet heroine remains steadfast in her kind, gentle ways, and her generosity flows like a mountain stream. This tale of virtue rewarded is as charming and rich as any prince. McClintock's warm, humorous, and lucious artwork that reflects the story's French roots, coupled with her disarming text will insure that this book will be loved and cherished -- happily ever after.
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).

The Barefoot Book of Classic Poems
Submitted by SarahKate on Mon, 04/21/2008 - 20:41.SarahKate's Notes:
This beautifully illustrated book has a wide variety of poems. Our girls (then ages 5 & 8) picked a few out to commit to memory, such as The Owl and the Pussy Cat by Edward Lear and The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. The book also has less familiar poems such as The Beautiful by W.H. Davies:
Three things there are more beautiful
Than any man could wish to see:
The first it is a full-rigged ship
Sailing with all her sails set free;
The second, when the wind and sun
Are playing in a field of corn;
The third, a woman, young and fair
Showing her child before it is born.
 | rating: asin: 1905236565 binding: Hardcover list price: $19.99 USD amazon price: $13.59 USD |
The 74 poems in this exquisite collection trace our journey through life from birth to old age. Along the way, the works of some of the finest poets in the English language celebrate all kinds of human experience: the wide-eyed wonder and adventure of childhood, the magnificence of the natural world and the animal kingdom, the mystery of love and the tragedy of war.Each page is superbly illustrated by Jackie Morris, making it a feast for the eyes as well as the ears.
The MAGGIE B
Submitted by SarahKate on Tue, 11/06/2007 - 16:34.SarahKate's Notes:
This is a heartwarming story of a little girl's wish upon a star that came true. "North Star, star of the sea, I wish for a ship named after me, to sail for a day, alone and free, with someone nice for company." The ship is small and marvelous, with a farm and animals on the poop deck! The good company turns out to be her little brother, who she cares for so lovingly. Magical illustrations.
