| If I ever read Winnie the Pooh, it was decades ago and I have long since forgotten it. An ignorance of WtP, however, is no obstacle to reading TPP. As others note, below, TPP is a terrific sendup of literary theories (and theorists) current in the mid-sixties academy. (It is often laugh-out-loud funny.) The critical intention that underlies this slim volume is also very much on the mark. TPP would be a satisfying read for critical thinkers everywhere, and an instructive read for anyone lacking ...

| As a proud parent of a 6 year old and 3 year old, I am constantly looking for relevant reading lists that will promote a prolific Read-Aloud experience for our daughter at home. "Literature for Lively Lessons" combines opportunities from calendar events (ie. seasons, holidays, author birthdays) and weekly themes with curriculum subject connections (predominately social studies, geography, science, and language arts). We are entering our third month of using this guide on a weekly basis for selecting picture ... Read More: |

| 123.Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and Peter and Wendy (World's Classics) by: J. M. Barrie April 18, 1991 |

Average Rating:  >>More Details |

|
| Hmm...., Peter and Wendy is obviously a five star book all the way, but what about Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens? Well, it's not really a complete book, first off. It's just a large section taken out of an earlier Barrie book titled The Little White Bird. So its very fragmented. Second, since it's more of a springboard the for ideas that formed the Peter Pan play than anything else, it repeats quite a bit of what we have already seen multiple times in many of the famous Peter Pan adaptations.

| Most of the time when I read my daughter a book, we end up discussing little things relating to what's happening in the book. It could be something that she was reminded of, or something I want to share with her at that time. Books are not only for reading...they're for helping expand minds and imagination. There is no end to what a book can accomplish for its reader.
In the book, "Games with Books," the author takes 28 wonderful children's books and shows parents how to do more with those books than ... Read More: |

| I admit it is odd that, after being a fanatical Pan Fan for three years, I just recently read a copy of the play (back in March), which is essentially where it all began. I was surprised at how different it was from the novel "Peter Pan and Wendy". There are several instances in the play that are not in the novel (for instance, the children try to catch a mermaid), and also some things that have been added exclusively to the novel (like how Wendy issues examinations on home-life). There were introductions to each act describing ... Read More: |

| 129.Tolkien Bestiary by: David Day 1984-08 |

|
| The Tolkien Bestiary is a work that has a lot of illustration, and it is done in a highly detailed fine style. You get examples of all the monsters and races and other stuff from Tolkien's world, even some plants are included. Some pretty impressive artwork in this guide, so it is well worth a look for Tolkien fans.

| It is sad to me that a book as thoughtful, as quiet and as tolerant as this attracts readers such as the first reviewer. This is both a very scholarly and a very personal and self-reflective study. I was most moved by the fact that Prof. Fellman begins with a confession about her own connection to the 'Little House' series as a young reader and then as a mother, touching on that soft spot reserved in all our hearts for primordial experiences, for our `madeleines.' She then goes on to analyze the political and cultural implications of ... Read More: |
