Anna ligtenberg added The Wish in the Bottle to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0590629700 - While the multitude of kids' series books are nice, it is always fun to come across the periodic stand-alone story. That The Wish in the Bottle is likely to appeal to both boys and girls is an added plus in my eyes. Lani, Laurie and M"

Anna ligtenberg added Five True Dog Stories to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0590424017 - A fan of James Herriot and Lassie (among others!), I was excited to read true dog stories for children. And the inclusion of a talented "bad" dog, in Grip the thief, was a pleasant surprise. Five very short dog stories, each told in"

Anna ligtenberg added Manatee Winter (Smithsonian Oceanic Collection) to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 1568990782 - While not exactly non-fiction, Manatee Winter is educational, which is always a plus. The involvement of the Smithsonian Institution is a good thing, too, but not quite good enough. A mother manatee and her calf head to warmer waters"

Anna ligtenberg added Rugrats - Oh, Brother! to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 1416915206 - I've loved the Rugrats for years and I had some doubts about how well author Luke David would handle them in book form. At least half of the funny in the TV show is the way they speak, so the text matters more than usual. David does an a"

Anna ligtenberg added It Chanced to Rain to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0671660055 - There are some books, especially among children's books, that you just know you're going to like. It's an attractive cover, the feel of the book in your hands, it's something - and you don't always know WHAT it is, but you always know th"

Anna ligtenberg added Huggly Gets Dressed (The Monster Under the Bed) to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0590918192 - This series is apparently supposed to be for the 4 to 8 year old crowd, but Huggly will appeal to younger children, as well, if not more. For some of the older kids, Huggly's a nice way to deal with fears that a lot of 7 and 8 year olds"

Anna ligtenberg added Noisy Nora to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0803718357 - It's been a while since I've reviewed a kids' book that needed a note for certain parents with certain child-raising ideas. If you're one of them, you'll want to pass up this book - Nora's sister calls her "dumb" twice and Nora's behavi"

Anna ligtenberg added A Ball of Clay. to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0807505579 - A Ball of Clay is a fairly simple, instructional book about making things with clay. While it appears to be a children's book, I think it works better as a book for a teacher or other adult who will be working with children. Beginni"

Anna ligtenberg added Sharing is Caring (Little Golden Book) to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0307987906 - As a Little Golden Book collector, I had to have this one. As a parent of a first generation Barney fan, whose kid is now an adult, I don't look forward to Barney anything. I feel Barney-ed out. Baby Bop has a special yellow blankey"

Anna said, "ISBN 059006519x - Usually, when I come across a board book with a spectacularly illustrated cover, I'm let down when I open it up. David Kirk is absolutely fantastic and so, it turns out, is every single page inside. Miss Spider would like to play,"

Anna ligtenberg added Mama, Do You Love Me? Board Book to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0811821315 - Having read mostly positive reviews of this book, with most of the dissenters not making much sense, I was really looking forward to finding out if it could live up to the hype. The cover is appealing, in the same uniquely ethnic way IS"

Anna ligtenberg added More Baby Animals (Baby Animal Photo Books) to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 1562883089 - A board book with padded covers and a photo of cute puppies on the front cover looks like a great book for little children. They will probably like it more than I do, but there are so many like this one that, unless a copy falls into yo"

Anna ligtenberg added RABBIT FOOD (Cuddle Board Books) to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0679839593 - A small board book with a really sad looking rabbit on the cover - who could pass it up? For the portability alone, it's worth a look. That it's educational is a plus, too! On twelve pages, with illustrations that cover every inch o"

Anna ligtenberg added Fire! (Matchbox Books) to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "The author should be Beth Sycamore. ISBN 1584852119 - Firemen have always been cool to little kids and this book just might have something parents will appreciate, too. The fact that it comes with a Matchbox car doesn't hurt, either. From the alarm"

Anna said, "ISBN 0694015776 - The first time you come across a play-with-your-food book, you think it's kinda cool, unique, fun... and then you come across another, and another and it ought to wear thin - but it really doesn't. First, the books aren't for you, they'"

Anna said, "ISBN 0439365554 - Little Suzy's Zoo has a surprisingly large following, and it exists for a reason. These characters are adorable and often seem very much like the young children who are the target audience. Witzy is very curious and wonders about a l"

Anna said, "ISBN 0316655821 - If the cover were any brighter, I do believe it might begin to glow. That's not a bad thing, it's actually one of the most attractive things about the book - it is bright, colorful and eye-catching and kids will like that. One thing on"

Anna ligtenberg added My First Jumbo Book Of Colors (My First Jumbo Book) to her Bookshelf
Anna said, "ISBN 0439324467 - If ever a book's cover was an accurate preview of what you'll find inside, this is the book. It's not just bright and colorful, it's got a rubbery raincoat and a sparkling sun to add a very unique touch. Amazing, what can be fit into"
