Members Reviews:

Love!!!

We are huge Tomie dePaola fans here and the 26 Fairmount Avenue series is partially why. My five year old daughter and I read the whole series together and our only complaint is that it doesn't continue. Excellent writing, fabulous illustrations, and you really feel like you get to know little Tomie. Love it!

Fun Read for a Young Reader

I bought this book for my 7 year old son who is finishing first grade and is just starting to read chapter books (by chapter books, I mean longer ones, not just the "Henry and Mudge" types that can be read in 20 minutes). I love this book! It is like hearing a funny grandpa tell you about his childhood. Mr. de Paola is a good narrator of his own life. My son really got a kick out of some of the antics, like how Tomie behaved while seeing Snow White in the movie theatre. I read the first chapter out loud to my son to make sure he comprehended it. It did, and then he finished the rest of the book himself.

I highly recommend this book to any first or second grader. Teachers and parents would enjoy reading it as well.

Five Stars

Great.

Fun, very enjoyable.

My son was sick for a few days while the rest of the class was reading this book at school, and we needed to have this book to help keep him up on class and understand what was going on in the story. The book wasn't available anywhere locally, so we ordered from Amazon, and it got here QUICKLY! We were able to get him caught up on his work, and we could also explain the story in a better one-on-one setting than any classroom could do, and he did well.

I have to say, the story was also enjoyable for a parent, as it brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. Although I never lived where the story took place, and we didn't have grandparents in the house with us (as is the case in the story), there were a lot of fun perspectives from a child's point of view. Tomie dePaola has a very good writing style, and the artwork is fun, too. I recommend the book for anyone who enjoys childrens' books - especially those books about life in 1938. It would be a superb grandparent-to-grandchild book.

wonderful series

This is a lovely story, well written, nicely paced for a 4-6 year olds, and with humor throughout. We read the entire series to our son, and I buy it for nieces and nephews when they are 4 or 5.

Best Halloween Ever

What made the experience of listening to The Best Halloween Ever the most enjoyable?

My kids read this along with The Best School Year Ever. Both are great stories and keep the students really engaged.

What didnt you like about Elaine Stritchs performance?

The author's voice is very deep and rough and hard on the ears. I am teaching fluency and hers isn't the best. The only reason I kept playing it was because I am sick and have no voice of my own!

It is so funny!

I wonder why Alice dressed as a Christmas tree! I love these books! There so much fun!

The Best Halloween Ever

Author provides humor with an exciting story. The audio is sure to keep children interested.

Title: Thumbelina and Other Fairy Tales

Author: Hans Christian Andersen

Narrator: Eleanor Buchan, Bob Rollet

Format: Original Recording

Length: 2 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-02-05

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

This delightful selection of stories by one of the classic masters of the genre includes some well-known and lesser-known tales, presented in lively Naxos AudioBooks style with music and sound effects.

This recording is also unique in that the stories are read by the finalists of the Naxos AudioBooks/The Times Voice of the Year competition, which offered a recording opportunity to talented reader who had never studied or worked professionally. The competition produced some outstanding natural talent as this recording shows!

This title includes the following tales: "Thumbelina"; "The Brave Tin Soldier"; "The Princess and the Pea"; "The Butterfly"; "The Flea and the Professor"; "The Flying Trunk"; "The Metal Pig"; "The Storks"; "The Silver Shilling"; and "The Nightingale".

Editorial Reviews:

Hans Christian Andersen's body of fairy tales is large. This recording includes several of the oft-told, such as "The Nightingale," "The Brave Tin Soldier," and the title story, as well as the less familiar "Metal Pig," set in Florence, and the whimsical "Flea and the Professor." No matter what the tale, Andersen's attention to nature's detail and his reflection on the sorrow and hardship life brings are ever present and beckon the listener back again and again. Each narrator is suited to his or her tale. Thumbelina's voice comes through as sensitive and delicate. The emperor's is pompous, but then contrite at the point when the nightingale's wisdom is understood. Enjoy reconnecting with Andersen's stories and sampling the freshness of promising new narrators.

Members Reviews:

Excellent choice for auditory learners

Very pleasant speaking voices, the classical music is well done and offsets the stories nicely without overwhelming the narrative. The stories have morals well worth listening to in the car or at bedtime. The prose is well-written and has an excellent selection of vocabulary words presented in a very straight-forward and intelligent format. Thumbelina was one of the stories with which I was previously familiar and the others will soon become favorites, as with most of Hans Christian Anderson. Wonderful way to expose children to the written word in an interesting format. The stories do not seem to be altered from the original prose, although I would have to check that to be sure. Excellent choice for auditory learners.

So happy I ordered this book and it is in great ...

So happy I ordered this book and it is in great condition for being a library book and published in 1961. Very little marks inside. Very happy with the book. It's going to be a gift for my mom for Christmas as it was her favorite book when she was little. It will make her very happy.

... book and the Little Tin Soldier two of my favorite books. Had this one as a child

This book and the Little Tin Soldier two of my favorite books. Had this one as a child. Book is good for a family heirloom.

Title: The Wouldbegoods

Author: E. Nesbit

Narrator: Teresa Gallagher

Format: Abridged

Length: 3 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-05-05

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 25 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

The Wouldbegoods, a sequel to The Treasure Seekers, reacquaints us with the six Bastable children: Dora, Oswald, Dicky, Alice, Noël, and H.O. Again, the story is told by you-may-not-know-who, and the children find all sorts of ways in which to amuse themselves in the country during the summer holidays.

"Children are like jam," says the Indian uncle, "all very well in the proper place, but you can't stand them all over the shop - eh, what?" Well, the children do their best, but they do get themselves into trouble, right from the beginning, when their latest brainwave is to create a jungle in the garden.

Editorial Reviews:

In this sequel to The Treasure Seekers, the Bastable siblings spend a summer making mischief in the English countryside. The wonderfully imaginative children form a society for the doing of good deeds - with unfailingly disastrous and amusing results. Their adventures are presented as vignettes with snatches of music in between. Teresa Gallagher sounds unerringly like children should sound. She's completely convincing as both the boys and the girls (and the grown-ups) - and she's particularly successful in the narrating voice of Oswald, who is the anonymous teller of these adventures. Edith Nesbit's strikingly modern British classic is just as welcome - and feels just as relevant - today.

Members Reviews:

Very funny

We loved the story and it was well read. Read Treasure Seekers first, it comes before this one.

I really liked it! It was very funny and entertaining and enjoyable and adventurous!!! So... five stars!!!!!!!!!

Critic Reviews:

"Jenny Nimmo...has a brilliant sense of storytelling and a well-tuned ear for good writing. Shakespearean actor Simon Russell Beale adds wonder to this book with his rich baritone reading." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Excellent

Henry gets into so much trouble since he is impulsive. It's all anyone can do to keep saving Henry from all the trouble he gets into. He is a sweet boy but he needs lots of supervision.

The Children of the Red King Book #2

I read these out of order, but this is a great read.

Great series

Loved it. I can't wiat for the next one. Charlie Bone is a great series.

Thin plot. Not as good as the 1st book

The 1st book was a fun kids book, but this one seems like it got rushed to the printer. The "cousin" of Charlie is frankly too dumb to live. Characters that were fairly fleshed out in the last book at times did things that were out of character, and several leaps were made to conclusions for no apparent reason.

Great narrator. So-so book.

Awesome!!

I love this series, it's has a very comfortable style and the narrator is excellent. Its almost like watching a movie withe the various voices he has at his be beckoning call. I highly reccomend this book for adults and children.

The book is very good and I thought it was a good idea to include the election. I think Franny should have taken some of her ideas from the poster to class.

Title: Pokemon Go: Diary of a Pidgey

Subtitle: Unofficial Pokemon Book

Author: Isabel Jones

Narrator: Trevor Clinger

Format: Unabridged

Length: 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-16

Publisher: Kemah Bay Marketing, LLC

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Are you ready to get into the adventure of Pokemon Go?

Here is the prologue.

Day 1:

The wind rushed through my feathers as I leapt from the nest for the first time. Beneath me was the target: the Weedle. I extended my wings to slow my fall, trapping the Weedle beneath my talons as I landed, leaves scattering in all directions.

The Weedle twisted to face me and aimed a poison sting at my right shoulder. I felt the shot narrowly miss the top of my wing; the shock made me jump backwards and the Weedle took his opportunity to flee, leaving a 2D grey cloud in its wake.

I could feel the blood rushing to my beak; I had let my prey get away. I turned to face my mother, Pidgeotto, who was hovering midway across the road.

Even further back was a Zubat: too far away to bother with really.

Pidgeotto gently descended down to the grass to join me, putting her wing around my shoulders. "Relax hun, we can't all win our first battles," she said. "Besides, you have great IVs and your skill in battle is determined randomly rather than from actual battle experience, so there isn't really any need to worry about failure."

I smiled. While eight of my brothers and I were all the tiniest team mythic leader Blanche had ever seen, I knew I was destined to be strong...for a Pidgey, anyway.

Members Reviews:

Great book for the kids! They really enjoyed it!

What did you like best about this story?

The story has a lot of different characters that are enjoyable.

Which character as performed by Trevor Clinger was your favorite?

The pidgey character was my kids favorite

Perfect book for the kids!

My kids are obsessed with listening to this book, and they are obsessed with pokemon. The diary of pidgey was their favorite audiobook of the pokemon go series!

Very poor narration

Would you try another book from Isabel Jones and/or Trevor Clinger?

No attention paid to intonation or expression. Very hard to listen to,did not complete so can't comment on story

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Trevor Clinger?

Anyone else

Horrible Narration

Any additional comments?

The is the worst narration of any book that I've heard on Audio book. My son instantly did not like this book because of the narration and lack of storytelling ability.

Narration is not very good

The narration doesn't flow naturally. It sounds like computer text to voice computerised speaking. Get a sample before buying.

I was with my purchase

My 3rd grade son loved this book

My 3rd grade son loved this book. They read it in his summer book club. Cute story and great price.

great

cute book my 11 year old loved it

Awesome Book!

This book is one I read to my class every year and they love it! Its great for all kids and ages. I read it to my Fifth grade class and they thought it was hilarious!

Great, fun read for elementary school students

A group of friends decide to get rich quick by selling an "Alien/UFO story". A funny ride for the reader and a short chapter book - just what the students want in a classroom set. Great for starting comprehension dialogue.
