| 41.Black Beauty (Living Classics Series) by: Anna Sewell 1997-09 |

| It's kind of sad that we have passed that period of time when every little girl was obsessed with this book. Ah, that glory time of girls and horses! Even so, Black Beauty continues to endure as a classic in my mind of both decent anthropomorphism and great Victorian writing.
In the tradition of great animal classics, this story is written from the perspective of the horse, called, among other names, Black Beauty. This strong horse of the most delightful British personality leads a life ... Read More: |

| This book is wonderful and charming. There is nothing like looking over the quotes for each month, the illustrations and the perfectly composed words. It's splendid! |

| 44.Throw Your Tooth on the Roof: Tooth Traditions from Around the World by: Selby Beeler September 24, 2001 |

| I bought this book for my daughter who is 6. We are a military family and are currently living overseas. I thought it would be an interesting way to learn more about other countries. I used it to supplement her normal homeschool curriculum with a study of other cultures. She got a real kick out of some of the traditions. She even wants to try the tradition of the country we are stationed in, with her next tooth. |

| I bought this book for my daughter when she was about a year old. We read it every night and she loves this book, she knows it by heart. She is now 2 1/2, the pages are ripped and taped yet we still read this book at bedtime. I want her to have peace in her life and be able to bring peace to others. This is truly a wonderful book. This was my first Todd Parr book and now I am looking for more. He is amazing. |

| 46.Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears: A West African Tale by: Verna Aardema 1978-10 |

|
| This is a great cumulative story, filled with appropriate sound effects for every animal mentioned.
It does get a little long (reciting long lists of animals will do that), so it might not be best for little-little ones who cannot sit through it. One thing to note is that this book does have a center where an owlet is accidentally killed and its mother goes into mourning. If you do not feel your child can handle this sort of information, by all means choose another book to read. |

| My 4th grade son read this and loved it. He was fascinated by it and looked forward to our reading every day (he would read aloud to me). Having read the adult version, I was impressed by this childrens' copy because it stays true to the grain of the story. There is nothing Disneyfied about it. I highly recommend this book to any parent who is trying to introduce classic works to their children, as well as any parent seeking good quality literature. The illustrations are top-rate and further serve to involve ... Read More: |

| Nine winter holidays are covered. Each has a short paragraph and an illustration. The information is very shallow. You don't do much more than learn the name of the holiday, where it is and a couple of things associated with celebrating it.
The artwork appears to be computer graphics made to look like folkart, creates a homey-folksy feeling that we associate with holidays. Large clear text is easy to read. The binding and glossy pages appear to be of good quality. Its a pretty good book, but ... Read More: |
