My 8 year old son is reading Racso and the Rats of NIMH and he says it’s the best book he has ever read. You have no idea how good it is to hear him say that because it’s pretty hard to get him to read most of the times.
His teacher gives them time […]
I was watching the Martha Stewart show this morning and she was talking about the book The Fabulous Bouncing Chowder. I haven’t read any of the Chowder books and I don’t believe my kids have either. I’ll have to ask them, but this book sounds like one I will want to add to our library. […]
My daughter has been reading Double Fudge by Judy Blume. I have not heard her laugh so hard while reading a book in a long time. She is just eating it up and finished the book in not time. She just couldn’t put it down. I love to see my kids read and I love […]
I’ll have to be honest here…I’ve never heard of Holly Claus before and have definitely never heard the story. I received an email about a website HollyClaus.com and I’ve been checking it out. I plan on having my kids take a look at it too and explore the world of Holly Claus.
So who and what […]
My son’s school had the good fortune to have children’s book author Antony Lishak visit yesterday. He read them Clickety-Clack, Something to Pack and signed books after school. It was a real treat!
In addition to Clickety-Clack, we also picked up Jumble the Puppy and it was a race to get home to see which we […]

The Dangerous Book for Boys by Conn and Hal Iggulden is a huge hit in the UK (available this Spring in the U.S.) with all sorts of facts and figures that would and should interest girls as well, such as:
The solar system
Famous battles

Teaching dogs tricks
Make a pinhole camera
Understand the laws of […]
The title of the 7th, and reported final, volume in the Harry Potter Series written by J.K.Rowling has been announced. The release date of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has not yet been made known. So, I guess no big surprise rush on getting the book for Christmas! At least not […]
A while ago, I raved about books published by Dorling Kindersley (DK). After moving to London in January, I’ve discovered another children’s book publisher that impresses me - Usborne. At the library and bookstore, their That’s Not My… series of books always catches my son’s attention even though they’re a little too young […]
