Open the Barn Door (A Chunky Book(R))


I ordered this book for my daughter when she was about 9 months old. She is now 12 months old and it's still her favorite book. She loves to turn the flap to discover the animals. Additionally, it's small and fits in her little hands perfectly. I find her in a corner sometimes turning the pages and jabbering like she's reading it and we love reading it together over and over. This book is a must have for any child's book collection.Buy Open the Barn Door (A Chunky Book(R))!

My Big Animal Book (My Big Board Books)


I purchased this book for my 2-year old. She loves looking through the pictures as I ask her to find each one. My 3-year old also likes going through it with his sister. He especially enjoys the little quiz at the bottom of each page -- one descriptive question per page. It is great for the both of them! The picture book includes baby animals, pets, farm animals, birds, and zoo animals. Buy My Big Animal Book (My Big Board Books)!

Bob Books, Set 1: Beginning Readers


As a teacher & mom, I use BOB books with my students at school, and my own children at home. Once your child has mastered his/her letters and sounds, BOB books is the perfect introduction and transition to READING, yes, READING! The series of books (especially this first set)introduces your child to reading using simple phonics, rhymes and words. Reading their first book will happen naturally using the BOB books in the series; thus, build confidence and open the door to unlimited success for your child. I highly recommend for teachers and moms (& dads a like) who are dedicated and enthusiastic to reading and teaching your young children. Buy Bob Books, Set 1: Beginning Readers!

Blood Engines (Marla Mason, Book 1)


The only thing I can say in it's favor is that its free.

I had a very hard time getting through this. At first it was mainly the writing style turning me off. Characters are constantly rehashing things they both know to spell it out for the reader. As the story went on I discovered no character development to speak of. While I don't expect much from a first novel in the way of character growth, I do expect the writer to make me cheer for the hero or heroine. I couldn't. I spent half the book hoping that the buses that Marla hated so much would run her over. The characters and their relationships to one another are shallow and uninteresting. The only character I felt any sympathy for was the ensnared snake god and he's declared Marla his mortal enemy.

While I hope for the author's sake that he improves by the second, I won't be picking it up.Buy Blood Engines (Marla Mason, Book 1)!

Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy, Book 1)


This book was modestly entertaining, albeit a bit stupid...the thing that annoyed me was that it didn't really let you know it was a fairy-tale of sorts until further into the book, by which time I was far enough I didn't want to abandon. Not terrible, but also not the greatest thing every published, that's for sure. Make believe story with supernatural abilities of main characters -- a bit over the top versus what I expected.Buy Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy, Book 1)!
