I haven't read it yet. But the other two were great. This one should be too!

As a librarian, I found this version of Gingerbread Boy the most attractive for the ESL kids. The adventures of the Gingerbread boy sounded simple, but impressive to kids aged 4-6. The boy ran and ran and the young readers read and read through the pages of sharp expressions of the faces and the gestures of the old woman, horse or even fox and follow the lines of repetitive, brief words in English. Though the face of the boy is distinctively plain, the young readers simply put themselves into this little plain boy.... My kids request me to read it over and over, and then they read it over themselves. If you have a wonder about "What is reading interest of kids?", this reading experience is rich in answer. In particular, in those Asian areas where "reading with and for the kids" is not a popular practice, this is a good start....ideal for "reading for fun" or "learning for fun" programmes. I highly recommend this book to the parents, librarians and teachers (ESL teachers in particular)

This book's sweet illustrations tell the story well. Children will love to sing the refrain and look at the growing "caravan" of adorable animals and people heading to Boston Common. As it's set in the early 20th century, it would be great for older preschoolers just beginning to learn about different places and times. I highly recommend it!

Emily Bilski was the exhibition curator for an exhibition on the golem at the Jewish Museum, and this work springs from that exploration of the golem as a legend and in art. This book contains a forward by Isaac Bashevis Singer, an historical overview by Bilski and Moshe Idel, an authority on the golem, an essay on the golem in Jewish mysticism by Idel, an essay on Wegener's film "The Golem," and an extensive collection of images of the golem in the arts. This study of the golem is different than all the others I've seen because it addresses the legend not just in terms of history or significance to the Jewish mystical tradition, but also the many representations of the golem in literature, art, and film. You don't find a collection of golem images like this anywhere else.

I read this book every night at bedtime to my young son for several years. The simple text rhymes and is great for getting a child used to a bedtime routine that includes reading. The story is about a boy who is playing, then gets his bath, has a bedtime snack, and goes to bed.

This is the story-- in a fictionalized form-- of the woman who was nannie to Noel Streatfeild's father and his siblings as well as to herself, her siblings and cousins before and at the turn of the last century. It gives a very real and moving picture of the life of service that very young girls of the rural lower class were expected to enter and is highly recommended if you can find it somewhere.

That's all the kids want, but their two grandmas are too busy with their conflicting parenting styles to let them get a word in edgewise. So they finally take things in their own hands and show their grandmas how careful they can be and have fun at the same time. My daughter enjoys the book very much [especially since I use the names she calls her grandmas] and imagines herself having fun with them at the lake. And I always laugh imagining my mother and mother in law trying to watch the kids alone together!

This book should have at least one review, don't you think? I was a student of hers when she was writing it. It was the first of her children (she had two more) and she labored over it for more than a year in very trying circumstances. The problem was, she was trying to teach the Bronze Age and there were no syntheses in a field in which, unless you had the right connections, everything you did or said was wrong. She persisted. There are still no good rivals of this book, and the book is still an excellent overview. It contains no brilliant theses. There is much good realism. If you read between the lines, she foreshadows the later debunking of Schliemann, who planted artifacts in the shaft graves. She well knew that, if you contradicted the wrong people, you would, like Evans' master of archaeology, never work in the field again. But, she put excellence first and came up with an excellent book. The author passed on in February of 2001. I think we were all lucky to have had her for so long. She too is a classic now. One can only hope she knows answer to the mysteries she studied for so long.

I liked this book personally because it had to do with babies. It made you understand how a little kid would take care of a baby. In the beginning Grover was playing ball and it rolled under a baby carriage. He noticed it was his friend Marsha and her little brother Max. So he asked her what she was doing and she said she was taking care of Max while her mom and dad went away. So, Grover said if I was babysitting my little cousin I would teach her how to climb a mountain. Battle a wild gang of lions, and everything in between. In the end his Aunt called and asked if his mom and him could watch his baby cousin. So, he ended up feeding her and babysitting her.

This was one of my favorite books. I like how Emily brought the characters to life. It also had some funny lines in the book.i would recomend any romance reader to buy it.Even though i am 16 this was the first romance i have ever read,and to tell the truth i like it alot.
