I would say 1/2 of it is great. I liked the topics of the poems

I bought this to read to my 4th grade class. I would say 1/2 of it is great. I liked the topics of the poems. The kids can relate to the topics. However, I didn't care for the poems that don't rhyme. They didn't flow as well as the others, though the kids could still relate to them.

Great for Poetry Assignments & Poetry Readers Everywhere

We bought this for an independent reading project (IRP) for my fifth grader. He really enjoyed reading the poems and rated the book at 3 1/2 stars out of five in his report. The book is set in 3rd great and is a collection of school based poems. He found most of the poems don't rhyme and ranged from silly to sad. He also describes the author's writing as easy to understand with out the use of "big fancy words". He recommends the book to poetry readers everywhere!

OK, wouldn't tell my friends to get it

I read a poem or two from this book each night at bed time to my 12 and 6 year old. Many of the poems are quite negative towards school. I prefer to teach my child that school is a good thing and so far they really love school. There is one poem that is very touching about a child's friend dying. Not really appropriate for the 6 year old but it's good to cover these topics as it is part of life.

It is an OK book of poems, but I really wouldn't tell my friends to rush out and buy it.

Childhood Book

I held this book hostage from the library at my elementary school. I'm sure I had it so much that no one else got the chance to read it. This was the start of my love for poetry. I ordered it as an adult and I guess I've matured in my love of poetry but I'm hoping my kids will love it. Even so it's nice to bring back some childhood memories. Book was in perfect condition.

good book for kids and parents

Both 9 year old girls liked this in our family, and mum also. very readable, enjoyable, unusual.

They come back to let everybody know, and soon all the grandpas want to go swimming. Henry's father says, "We'll have to go in our Skivvies." Before long they are all enjoying a nice day of swimming in their underwear!

When my granddaughter who just turned four visited, I had to read this book four times to her in two days. It was her favorite of all the books I had borrowed from he library and even her favorite Henry and Mudge book. So I bought a copy for her to have as her very own. Charming with such a lovely picture of the relationship between the very old and the young. And one of those books that as a grandmother I happily read over and over and never got bored.

Five Stars

Good!

One of the BEST! Thanks Cynthia!

We LOVE this book! Great way to discuss Grandpa living at an Adult Home!

Four Stars

Great story for early readers

Always. WINNER

Small book

I didn't notice the book measurements when ordering these for my grandchildren. The book is beautiful quality but would have loved it in a larger scale! Otherwise nice.

An Excelent, Super, Awsome, amazing book!

This awsome book tells a great white shark's life span from baby to adult. This book was really cool because it had many intresting facts. I learned a lot from this book. This book even has it's own glossary! If you can find this book, you should buy it!

Title: Ralphie the Gopher

Release date: 08-21-08

Publisher: Tall Tales Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Ralphie and Amy share three adventures. In "Don't Eat the Pizza", Ralphie avoids a poisoned pizza trap. In "Home Is Where the Cat Is", Amy coaxes Ralphie out of his tunnel for some home tutoring - but she forgets about her loud-mouthed brother. In "The Female Has Spoken", Ralphie learns that having a gopher girlfriend means making some tough choices.

Members Reviews:

Great Story!

My children and I loved Ralphie the Gopher! The stories are funny and they are about good topics like making friends and learning to read. On nights that I am too tired to read to my kids I pop Ralphie in the CD player and they listen to it as they are going to bed. The second of the three stories in which Ralphie (the talking, reading gopher) teaches his friend (a young dyslexic girl) how to read was particularly good for my eight year old daughter who is struggling a bit with reading herself.

We love all the TallTales audio tapes, they are perfect for bedtime and long car rides--I really don't know what I'd do without them!

Title: Ella the Elegant Elephant

Author: Carmela D'Amico, Steven D'Amico

Narrator: Diana Canova

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-11-08

Publisher: Scholastic Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Ella's counting the days until the first day of school, but not because she's eager to start! On the contrary, as the littlest elephant on Elephant Island, she's terribly nervous about the other kids she'll meet. Then she receives a beautiful red hat that belonged to her grandmother - her new lucky charm.

©2004 Carmela D'Amico and Steven D'Amico; (P)2006 Scholastic Inc.

Editorial Reviews:

Diana Canova's vibrant, enthusiastic performance bristles with energy in Carmela and Steven D'Amico's enchanting Ella the Elegant Elephant, the story of a shy and diminutive elephant who relies on a gift from her beloved grandmother to help overcome relentless schoolyard bullying by the antagonistic Belinda.

Canova's pitch-perfect delivery enlivens this beautifully simple tale that puts a unique spin on familiar childhood themes, and the sparkling score coupled with evocative, cinematic sound effects will appeal to children of all ages.

Ella is a sweet little elephant

Ella is a lovely little elephant! This book reminds me of books I read as a child, and I am a Grandma now. The illustrations are lovely and

the story teaches a lesson but isn't pushy about it. A very sweet book.

Good book

My 3 year old daughter loves Ella and she loves this book. Great pictures and story. We are very happy with the purchase.

Ella for baby Ella

Bought this book for my little girl named Ella. Very cute. Disney is now coming out with a show based on the books. Will buy the whole set.

Five Stars

Great book, illustrations were amazing!

DON'T READ THE EDITORIAL REVIEW

Hopefully it's not too late and you haven't read the review above as it gives away the sweet, tear-inducing ending to a beautifully illustrated tale described so well by the other "amateur" reviewers. I read this to my almost-2 year old and my 4 year old, and they both love the pictures and the story. There are quite a few lessons to be learned from this story - I appreciate the fact that even though she is made fun of for her hat, she continues to wear it to school because it means so much to her. I still tear-up a little at the end. It's really a hopeful story - it makes me hopeful that my own children see results/appreciation when they do their best to do the right thing. I have purchased 3 copies and will continue to do so as friends have babies.

Teach Kids About Money

This book helps build a foundation on money matters. You have to start somewhere and your kids are the best place. I have them read this and they have enjoyed the story and the underling message. It helps teach about money and how to manage a small business. Great book and message.

"Old-Fashioned" Experiences Still Have Appeal

I loved Lillian Hoban's books as a child. I identified with the character's typical childhood adventures. Whether planning a party, losing a tooth, or trying to earn money for something, the humor in these stories is what makes them so entertaining and the lesson in the end is learned painlessly. Ms. Hoban's distinctive drawings are attractive with lots of details that communicate & enhance the text (think of the Frances series) - perfect for readers new to the chapter book format.

But how would these books appeal to my own children, 20 years later? I oughtn't have worried. My 5 year old, who is reading a little ahead of her age, is engaged by these books. She finds Violet clever & identifies with her "little sister" issues. The topics are not beyond her. My 7 year old son also enjoys the books because they make him laugh. There is an "old-fashioned" flavor to the tales my children find sweet - taffy making, penny candy, reading the funnies or pulling a loose tooth with a string.

It is fair to note that Arthur is mean to his sister, Violet, at times. As a mother I find it a little off-putting. But it is very clear to readers that he is not being nice and is food for thought for many an older sibling (myself included). A fine reminder to older kids to be patient with little ones, because they often have something worthwhile to contribute. And, fortunately, Arthur always makes amends in the end.

As many of our children grow up in a time where they can't run around the neighborhood they way these characters do, or their parents did, it's nice to pay a visit to Arthur & Violet's little world.

Sweet book with a math challenge

Our family loves this book, as well as the other Arthur books. My seven year old really enjoys the challenge of adding and subtracting Arthur's business transactions in his head. I appreciate a tale of children working hard to earn something that they want. We've enjoyed it as a read-aloud and an early reader.

Daughter tired of it after first week

This was OK the first few times, but it doesn't hold up to repeated playings. My daughter and I don't like Arthur much, don't care much about him, and don't want any more of his stories. Maybe it would be better for kids with siblings close in age that fight who could relate to it better.
