Worth having if you are a bibliophile and have the artist's soul.Buy The Penland Book of Handmade Books: Master Classes in Bookmaking Techniques!

Old MacDonald Has a Farm (Little Golden Book)

Great book for a well known and loved children's song! My daughter can't get enough of this book and I read it to her every day. This book follows the song perfectly and has wonderful illustrations.Buy Old MacDonald Has a Farm (Little Golden Book)!

The Book of Three (The Chronicles of Prydain)

There have already been plenty of reviewers of The Chronicles of Prydain, but I wanted to add just a couple thoughts:

The 5 books are a pleasurable romp through Prydain, a place I might like to visit myself. Taran and his companions are quite likable and engaging, and their adventures are interesting and fun to follow.

My only objection is that Lloyd Alexander doesn't do bad guys very well. At the various points in the stories where villians play a visible role, I found myself scoffing quite a few times at the silly monologuing and posturing.

But these books are for kids, so I won't complain too much.

All in all many hours of pleasurable reading.Buy The Book of Three (The Chronicles of Prydain)!
