| 61.Faithful Elephants: A True Story of Animals, People, and War by: Yukio Tsuchiya October 30, 1997 |
||
Average Rating:  >>More Details |
 |
|
| This book is more a historical document than a picture book. It presents a true look at the unintended and often unrealized consequences of war. Animals suffer from war in any area that the people are also suffering.
It is well written and has vibrant illustrations but it is a horribly sad and graphic story. I agree with other reviewers that it is more appropriate for junior and even high school students as an accessible history lesson. It is heart breaking and not for young children. |

| My six year old son loves this book. It's really encouraged him to read. The only problem is, he wants to read it and nothing else. I'm back for another DK animal book to encourage his newfound interest in reading! A great gift for a five or six year old boy. |

| From the glowing reviews, I really expected the book to blow my mind. In reality, it turned out that only the very last pop-up is really spectacular and elaborate, the rest are far more average. Plus, the book proved too fragile for a 2,5-year-old, who wanted to make everything pop up on her own. After only a couple of reads, the tore the penguins, then the snake...
Also, from the reviews I was under the impression that the book teachers colors... I.e. I thought there was a fun and meaningful text ... Read More: |

| 66.The Owl and the Pussycat by: Edward Lear September 01, 1986 |

|
| First of all, Amazon.com seems to have screwed up somehow and most of the reviews here are for "The Owl and the Pussycat" illustrated by Jan Brett which transfers this classic tale into a Caribbean setting bursting with colors. I collect versions of this poem so I have that book too and it is truly beautiful. But the one on this page was illustrated by James Marshall and according to the afterword by Maurice Sendak, this was some of his last work before his death. So please don't buy this one based on the reviews, ... Read More: |

| 69.Everything Dog: What Kids Really Want to Know About Dogs (Kids' FAQs) by: Marty Crisp March 01, 2003 |

| Average Rating: >>More Details |
 |
|
| My daughter was charmed by Marty Crisp's EVERYTHING DOG, which answers questions the author and journalist has collected from children over the years. These age-old problems include: "Why do some dogs' ears stick up while others flop down?" "Why aren't dogs supposed to eat chocolate?" and "Why do dogs lick us? Do they wish we'd lick them back?"
Crisp's responses are invariably brief and to the point. She strives to have well researched answers that, despite their brevity, are not vague or too general. Crisp's ... Read More: |
