Grandma Tells A Story is a gentle story that addresses itself from the grandparents to the grandchild, who is presumed to be the reader. "Once upon a time, before you were born, Grandpa and I were very lonely," begins the book, which proceeds to recount the excitement and anticipation leading up to the birth of their first grandchild - and so, the end of the story is really just the beginning. Soft, kindly illustrations enhance this lovely picture book, which makes an ideal gift for the young grandchild just learning to read.

This is a great book that helps children make sense of the sometimes frightful noises of the night and how they are made by things that really dont scare us at all. Its black and white illustrations are in tone with the theme of the book. My daughter has learned in a fun way that eventhough we sleep a lot of other living beings are up and are making noises that go along with their daily activities.

Our son has always been afraid of snakes - until he read SNAKE CAMP. Now, while he's not exactly a snake charmer yet, he is interested in overcoming his fear of snakes. This is a funny, very clever book that also has a very important message.

Bella is a witch who dreams of big castles, silk gowns, and the jewels associated with princesses. But when the Grand Wizard has forbidden any witch to turn themselves into a princess, Bella's dreams are dashed. But clever Bella has another plan that might work -- marry a prince! And with a little online dating help that's exactly what Bella sets out to do. Lois G. Grambling's wonderfully original story is very nicely illustrated by Judy Love. The Witch Who Wanted To Be A Princess is spellbinding, hugely funny, and enthusiastically recommended reading for children preschool through fourth grade.

This is a wonderful book for Dads and their daughters to read. I am somewhat perplexed by the criticism that "mom is nowhere to be found." In a growing number of instances Dad's are in fact left -- or seize -- the role of primary parent. Most books are mommy-centric and no one has a cow. Should Daddy-centric books be treated any different? When mom leaves children naturally fear Dad will someday leave too. This book certainly comforts daughters who worry if Daddy will be there and reminds Fathers how important it is that we are. Well done!

My six year-old is a Daddy's Girl and this book, even though she has had it for a long time, is one of her very favorites. It is very reassuring to her, especially with its comforting refrain ("I know Daddy will be there"). No, it is not a sing-songy all-is-well book, but neither is it particularly gloomy--it is more a testament to the quiet love of fathers and daughters.

(My child has never asked where the mother is, incidentally)

This book shows the confidence a child should have that a parent will always be available to them. This will keep the attention of young children and be easy to read by young students. I highly recommend this excellent family oriented book for students K-2 and parents.

His Nanna got it for him for Christmas last year and it is probably the most read book we have. It makes him laugh and laugh, but you have to be sure and use funny voices![.] As far as the yucky vegetables part goes, just don't read yucky, we change it to nummy!! This is a great book that I plan on giving as gifts this year!...

Our 4 and 1/2 year old twin boys and their 3 year old little brother love this story! They can really relate to the whinning little boy and the way he tries to justify owning a stegosaurus. His ingenuity and perserverance are quite admirable. My boys love the suprise ending! This is a great story to read out loud as long as you can pronounce the names of all the dinosaurs correctly! If not, the children will be sure to correct you!

Make sure you read it with a whine in your voice just like the one they always use in the toy store!! Hysterically funny!!!

My daughter and I love the first so we were expecting more of the same. Unfortunately, this falls quite a bit short of expectations. The illustrations aren't up to the level of "Mom, can I ..." and the text seems somewhat forced and doesn't flow as well as the first. The ending leaves an opening for a sequel although, personally, I wish I had stopped after "Mom, can I have a Stegasorus".

Can I Have a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Dad picks up the wonderful story begun in Can I Have a Stegosaurus, Mom. In this new adventure, the little boy imagines how great life would be if he only had a T-Rex as a pet. One of our family's favorites and highly recommended.

My son absolutely loves this book and I have fun reading it to him. If you liked "Can I have a Stegosaurus?" you will love this new book. It is the perfect book for dinosaur lovers. The illustrations are great too. I highly recommend this book for children aged 3+.

This book is about Miss Hildy's cape and cap, stolen on Halloween and she has no clue where her stuff is and she wants to go out Trick-or-Treating.
