| This book meets all my basic criteria for reading to my 3.5 y.o daughter: 1) it depicts a female character taking initiative, being adventurous/ resourceful; 2) it has charming illustrations; and 3) my daughter enjoys it as much as I do. But then on top of that it 4)has great subtle humor (LOVE the surprise ending of the last page!) 5) offers a geography lesson (my daughter loves pointing out the locations on the map on the inside cover , 6) teaches about where food really comes from and shows respect ...

| Ridiculously inaccurate translation that dumbs everything down to the level of children. As you can see from some of the other reviews, most people seem to think they're dealing with kidlit from the outset, but if you value world literature, then castigate Oxford for this pop atrocity. It's certainly not for anyone who loves life and reading. The elegant and sinuous Burton translation is, so far, still the way to go. |

| It isn't often I get frustrated with any classics, but Winesburg, Ohio was different. It has some moments where it just seems to get lost in the prose (the only problem is that I mean this literally). While, there are some interesting moments about George Willard, his family and those who live in the same town, the story just didn't take off like some books do.
I enjoy symbolism and other literary elements in books, and try to read between the lines in books, but I just couldn't figure out where Anderson was going ... Read More: |

| I was disappointed when I received the book the dust jacket was ripped.
It was even more annoying because I had bought the books as a gift for the students at the Appleton Vilage School in Appleton, Maine, to be read for the Battle of the Books. |

| This title is a must for educators of young children. The illustrations are beautiful and the language is understandable even for the youngest of school children. Reading and discussing this book with a classroom will help children discover that differences are what make us special and differences are a reason for celebration. Love builds the bridges that create community within any and all societies. |

| I bought this book for my son before our trip to Italy, in which we spent a week in Rome. My son just turned 5 before our trip and I homeschool. We read this book and looked at the beautiful pictures before going. It was a wonderful book! After reading the book together, he looked forward to seeing the Coleseum and throwing the coin in the Trevi Fountain and eating some gelato. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning on visiting Rome with children between the ages of 4-8. Prepares and excites child for what they will see. ... Read More: |
