| I love this book, and so does my 3-year-old. Some of the pictures lend a more modern twist to the stories. For example, "4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie" are pictured as birds half in half out of a fruit pie, with the suggestion that they are eating the berries (rather than the original intention which was something more like a blackbird pot pie). Instead of cottage cheese, the curds and whey are illustrated as oatmeal with sugar and cream. However, it is wonderful enjoying mother goose all over ... Read More: |

| 63.The Lord of the Rings (Mind's Eye Version) by: J. R. R. Tolkien 1994-06 |

|
| This has to be one of the greatest contributions to English literature in a long, long time. It is a twentieth century classic.
Tolkien has managed to create an entirely real, tangible, and absolutely enchanting world through sheer characterization, detail, and passion for a people and a place, even if he created them. The plot itself is entirely epic and exciting, perfect for the people that like action galore. But it also has everything else: great characters, humor, romance, charm. It's ... Read More: |

| Twenty four years ago, I was a ten year old girl who saved every last penny to save $35.00 to buy the Little House on The Prairie boxed set by Laura Ingalls Wilder. It was my love of the TV show that started the savings venture...I heard it was based on a true story and I needed to know all the details. What happened when I received those books, and read them one after another that year changed me into a fan of the show, into a full fledge Laura Ingalls Wilder enthusiast. Why? Because of the simple beauty of the pioneer ... Read More: |

| I read this once before, loved it then, love it now. It's definitely not the best of Sharon Creech (and if you're interested in that, definitely check out Absolutely Normal Chaos), but it's really good writing. The one thing that bothers me though is the boy's voice. His actions are those of a little boy, as are his emotions, but his words...they make me wonder. Is there any chance he has a mental disorder? I don't know any children who think/speak like that. They're enthusiastic, sure, but this is a bit...odd. I wish I knew ... Read More: |

| 66.Madeline's Rescue by: Ludwig Bemelmans 2004-01 |

|
| My 3-year old recently discovered Madeline. While this book did not become a favorite, it was read several times. It's over-sized, so not as easy for small hands- she has to put it on the floor or on a table to look at it as opposed to in her lap. |

| I guess I did not read the description carefully, because I assumed the CD came with the books to look at while listening. So after it arrived, I ordered all the books as well.
As for the CD, I think the reader presents the story a little to quickly for very young listeners, not giving them enough time to contemplate the thoughts presented in the dialog. I would prefer she read it slower. Her voice is a bit raspy, and she does not sing the songs, instead recites them as a poem. I guess I am used to the way I read the book, changing voices ...

| Jim Dale is a very fine oral interpreter, it is a skill to read some of the most beloved books and make people love them more and discover something new.
This is a 3 disc set of A Christmas Carol, audio version and Jim Dale gives each character its own unique voice and he is pleasant to listen to and he adds charm, warmth and humor to this very well known story. Treat your self, treat your family. We will be listening to this during our holiday traveling. |
