SHOW ME HOW TO FIND PAUL BUNYON STORY WHERE HE COME FROM AND WHERE DO HE LIVED

We love to read this book over and over again! The hilarious pictures result in added comments. My son is able to put himself in Little Critter's spot and loves the part about the "furcut". Once again Gina and Mercer Mayer give us a wonderful book to share with our children!

This book hit the mark for a travel guide to Africa. Small, it fits into the 32 pound weight limit for local plane flights. The map which comes with it is nicely detailed. The book has a good blend on info about the parks and brief reviews of the places to stay. There aren't a lot of books to help with traveling to Tanzania, so this was a good find.

I found this book while looking for someway to introduce Halloween to my two year old. He would become afraid of the masks and costumes he'd seen and I wanted him to be fully prepared for his first trick or treating. After reading this book he has requested it several times a day and is now talking excitedly about Halloween and his costume. The book is sweet and funny and talks about many of the traditions of Halloween.

I am a 2nd graders at the Anna Merritt Elementary School. My name is Danielle. My favorite Little Critter book is WHERE IS MY FROG?. My favorite part was when Little Critter found his frog at the end of the story.

When I was small this was my favorite book of all time. I recently was given a copy and it rekindled many good memories. Mercer Mayer's illustrations are great, the details are amazing. I can't say enough nice things.

The second edition of J. Dianne, Dsw Garner and Susan O., Dsw Mercer's Women As They Age updates information about being an aging woman in a youth-oriented society, examining social and medical issues relating to aging women.

I have been a dog owner for many a year and have read many a book on dogs! So, what's so special about this one? Plenty. First off, most books are about puppies, old dogs or sick dogs. This is the first book that deals with the first two years of a dog's life: that incredible period from puppyhood to doghood. Secondly, it's not technical nor is it condescending: it's written in the language that most of us speak. The chapters are chock-full of valuable, common-sense information, and the insets provide lots of little known facts that are well-worth keeping in mind. I had a hard time putting it down once I received it. It's great reading! I've already purchased three additional copies for gifts and have highly recommended it to my friends and colleagues. In short, it's a real winner! Go for it, folks, you won't regret it.

My son just turned six, but has loved Mercer Mayer books since we began reading them to him before he turned 2. "Little Critter" and "Critters of the Night" books are still regularly requested stories in our house.

This book by Erica Farber, along with her book "Midnight Snack" are perfect for my son to read himself. Anyone with a child learning to read knows that all "Level 1" books are not really for the same level. This book has simple words, and rhyming text that are not too difficult or frustrating for new readers, but not so easy that it seems babyish. The pictures make the story fun enough for children to want to read it!

I very much enjoyed this book because it was full of pure fun reading. Some books drag from the very beginning, but this children's story didn't. There were surprises from the start. This book is an all original example of using your imagination. Lewis Carrol was gifted enough to let his imagination go wild, and to write it down on paper. This book inspires me to write any sort of crazy thing that is worth writing. This book is about Alices adventures from the time she saw the peculiar White Rabbit with a waistcoat and watch. She meets thrilling but very arguementive creatures and charectors such as the caterpiller who smokes, the Duchess and her baby which turns into a pig, a Mock Turtle, a gryphon, and the most famous the Chesire cat and the Queen of Hearts. This book is a bit different than the Disney movie. There are other charecters in the book that are not mentioned in the animated movie. and I think the book is more bizarre.

I, like almost every other kid I know, grew up with the Disney movie. Although a rather accurate depiction of Wonderland, it cannot compare to the book (plus it muddled things together, mixing Alice in Wonderland with things originally in Through the Looking Glass). I never really took much attention to this very strange movie, but one day decided to read the book.

Enter Wonderland.

Absolutely no plot, no direction, no point. Lot's of silly nonsense but in spite of, or maybe because of this, it is very enjoyable. You literally never know what's going to happen next. After reading this book, I realized just how much my own dreams... Unforgettable characters, who can ever forget the cheshire cat or the caterpillar, jokes, interesting supplementary drawings, and puns keep you on your toes.

This is really not for kiddies. Sure they can read it and maybe even enjoy it, but cannot fully appreciate it. A masterpiece, a classic, but more importantly, an enjoyable experience.

Don't forget to read Through the Looking Glass! Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum, the Walrus and the Carpenter, and "Jabberwocky" don't pop up in Alice in Wonderland but Through the Looking Glass. Although "Jabberwocky" didn't appear in the movie, it's still a classic. Finally, an explanation of this ever-puzzling poem! And of course, "I am the Walrus" is one of my favorite all-time songs...

One of those books that you can read over and over again and find something new each time. Definitely an essential. The most fun I have ever had with a book. If you've ever been cursed enough to watch the movie but never read the book, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! (and for those of you who have read it, READ IT AGAIN! )

When I was assigned Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass to read for my Victorian Literature class, I was excited. Even though I had heard Alice's Adventures in Wonderland referred to countless times throughout my youth, I had never read the story or seen the movie. I had never heard of Through the Looking Glass, but while reading, I realized that many people who think they are talking about AAIW are actually referring to TTLG. The two texts seem to be conflated in a way that makes them indistinguishable from each other. It is for this reason that I enjoyed reading this edition of the texts. There is only a page separating the two stories, which allows the reader to easily make the transition between them. This small separation also allows the reader to recognize the undeniable connection between the texts and to understand why many people combine them in their minds.
AAIW is about a young girl named Alice whose boring day with her sister is interrupted when a white rabbit runs by her saying, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" Alice's curiosity is aroused, but surprisingly not to a great degree. This is the first hint to the reader that Alice is not an average child, as she seems to believe that a talking rabbit is quite normal. She does become intrigued, though, when the rabbit produces a clock from his pocket, so she follows it down its hole and enters a world of wonder. I loved the story from this point on. It is filled with such unbelievable creatures and situations, but Carroll's writing style made me want to believe in a world that could be filled with so much magic and splendor. There was never a dull moment in the story, and each page was filled with more excitement. I will offer a warning, though. This story is not for those who like a neatly packaged plotline. It is written in a somewhat discontinuous nature and seems to follow some sort of dream logic where there are no rules. However, I enjoyed the nonsensical pattern. Without it, a dimension of the story would be lost. It offers some insight into the mind of a young, adventurous, fearless girl, and Carroll seems to be challenging his readers to be more like Alice.
The second text in this book, TTLG, is again a story about Alice. In this adventure, Alice travels through a wondrous world on the other side of her looking glass. As in AAIW, Alice again encounters absurd creatures, such as live chess pieces and talking flowers. The land she travels through is an oversized chessboard, which gives this story a more structured plot than AAIW. The chess theme provides Alice with sense of what she must accomplish in the looking- glass world, and it provides the reader with a sense of direction throughout the story. Alice's goal is to become a chess queen, so the reader knows that when she becomes queen, the story will be over. However, just because the story has some structure does not mean that it is not just as wild and marvelous as its predecessor. I enjoyed all of the characters. They seem to have an endless supply of advice that people in the 21st century can still learn from. My favorite example is when the Red Queen says, "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!" Maybe what Carroll is suggesting is that if we read more nonsensical, unbelievable stories like his, we won't be so afraid to be adventurous and fearless like Alice; so that the next time a white rabbit runs by us, we might just see where it leads us.
