| I am so lucky. I have an excellent friend, a best friend, who knows I appreciate unique stories and beautiful things, and when you put the two together you have something really special. She saw 'The Arrival' and knew I would love it and gave it to me. And she was right -- I never expected it, but I absolutely love it.
On one level, 'The Arrival' is a simple, fairly common story, one we've heard many times before in other ways, from other people. A man leaves his home and family in a ... Read More: |

| It took few hours to finish the novel. As someone has said in the review, an audio version would be better i think. Overall, the writing is clear. |

|
| A wonderful book about a bull who doesn't enjoy fighting or aspire to go to the bullfights in Madrid. Instead he is at peace with sitting in peace and sniffing the flowers. Without giving too much away, this essentially saves his life after a series of misunderstandings occur.
Its a wonderful lesson for children to stay true to themselves, with a comforting addition that their mother (or parent) will always love them. |

| This book was handed down to me from a neighbor when I was a child 35+ years ago. It was a favorite of mine and I saved it for many years. Now my 2 year old can recite it almost word for word and we read it almost every day. I'm finally breaking down and buying a new copy since well-loved is an understatement for the condition of ours. It's a lovely story about family and I hope my daughter will be reading it to her children someday. |

| What I Saw and How I Lied, by Judy Blundell, takes place after World War II and is a fantastic coming-of-age, mystery tale. War veteran Joe Spooner brings back a little more than just memories of the war when he returns home to a beautiful wife and 15-year-old stepdaughter, Evie.
Vacationing in Florida with her family, Evie finds an older man, Peter, whom she falls in love with, none to Joe's liking considering Evie is only 15 and Peter is 22. Unaware that her mother is having an affair with Peter, Evie believes Peter loves her. A boating ... Read More: |

| My 8 year old son picked this book out because he read "Because of Winn-Dixie" and loved it. He and I both thought Tiger Rising fell short of our expectations. Another thing that really annoyed me is that DiCamillo uses profanity in her telling of this story. Her use of the word "Damn" is extremely inappropriate considering this book is being read by children. "Darn" would have worked equally well. He stopped when he got to that word and question me about it...he didn't want to read it out loud. My husband & I are very disappointed that any profanity, no matter how ... Read More: |
