Publisher's Summary:

Grampa Bender couldnt run the Bed and Biscuit animal boardinghouse without the help of Ernest the mini-pig, Gabby the Vietnamese mynah bird, and his young cat, Milly. These three animals think of themselves as Grampas family, and they have always assumed he felt the same way. But when Grampa brings home a mysterious bundle and stops paying attention to his faithful friends, they start to worry. Will an earnest, loyal pig be able to soothe Millys injured feelings, calm Gabbys ruffled feathers, and bring the family back together?

Critic Reviews:

Ernest the pig is particularly fetching. (EW.com)

Kids just past the easy-reader stage will enjoy this. Each animal has a distinct, fully rounded personality, and the story is nicely paced with a certain amount of mystery. (Booklist)

"Worth a place in most collections. . . . Kids will welcome sequels. (Kirkus Reviews)

Title: Zelah Green

Narrator: Lisa Coleman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-25-11

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

My name is Zelah Green and Im a cleanaholic.

I spend most of my life running away from germs. And dirt. And people. And Im just about doing OK and then my stepmother packs me off to some kind of hospital to live with loads of strangers. Its stuck in the middle of nowhere. Great.

Theres Alice whos anorexic. Caro who cuts herself. Silent Sol who has the cutest smile. And then theres me. Itll be fine, I say to myself. Its all going to be OK...

A touching, funny and sympathetic story for young adults about a teenage girl with OCD, 'Zelah Green' was a winner of the Manchester Childrens Book Awards 2010.

Members Reviews:

Zelah Green

I picked up Zelah Green on a complete whim. Iâm a total sucker for realistic fiction, and OCD is a topic that I always feel drawn to for some reason. Coupled with the fact that itâs set in the UK, I was always going to have to read this one.

Although itâs aimed the younger end of the YA target age group, and therefore perhaps some of the issues are watered down a little, I thoroughly enjoyed the way that Curtis created her characters. Their problems are real, their personalities are big and distinct, and I loved all of them â whether they were lovable or not.

Zelah is obsessed with cleaning. She also has a few other little rituals to start and end the day. But itâs not really a big deal â her stepmother obviously disapproves but canât do anything about it, and her best friend totally gets it. Itâs only when her stepmother sends her to hospital that she really stops to look at what she is doing â but only because she has to.

What I particularly liked about Zelah is that although she has a lot going on, she never really loses her sense of humour, nor her sense of self. She attempts to relate to the other people in the house where she ends up for treatment as much as possible, even if she doesnât quite understand why she is there â she doesnât get bratty or resentful, and is really very open to other people.

Zelah Green is a super-quick read (I read the whole thing in less than two hours) but itâs also quite impactful â all of the characters begin to confront their problems and start to work towards a better life, and although there are some cute moments, there are also some very serious moments.

Perhaps the one and only turn off was the Happily Ever After ending â it almost felt a little condescending and stereotypical. However if you donât always like your contemporary fiction to be really gritty and dark, this may just be a book youâll love.

Great book for teens

Zelah Green is the British story of 14-year-old Zelah who has OCD. Her Mom died and her Father fell into a deep depression and became an alcoholic. When her evil stepmother sends her off to a teens' mental house, Zelah is completely confused. Why is she here with all of these freaks? There is nothing wrong with her. But once she meets the others, she realizes that she is a little different, but she can overcome anything because of it.

A great book for teens, Zelah Green is a story of standing out, overcoming your fears, and finding friendship in wild places. The book ends on a bittersweet moment.

Parents be warned- this book has a few cases of the 's' word and many cases of 'crap'. One of the girls cuts herself, and in a scene there is blood all over the floor. She is a great artist, but draws some distubing pictures. One of the teens is anorexic.

Title: McGuffey's Eclectic Readers: Second Reader

Author: William McGuffey

Narrator: Robin Field

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-16-10

Publisher: Mission Audio

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Born in 1800, William Holmes McGuffey had a remarkable ability to memorize, and could commit to mind entire books of the Bible. After becoming a teacher at the age of 14, classroom size was just one of several challenges faced by McGuffey. In many one-teacher schools, students ages varied from six to 21, and few textbooks existed.

In 1835, a publishing firm asked McGuffey to create a series of graded Readers for primary level students. The series consisted of stories, poems, essays and speeches and it is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Websters Dictionary. Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark. McGuffeys 2nd Reader is appropriate for a variety of ages/reading levels, but most closely approximate 2nd to 3rd grades.

Title: The Wind in the Willows

Author: Kenneth Grahame

Narrator: David Ian Davies

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-07-10

Publisher: One Voice Recordings

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

The Wind in the Willows is a longtime favorite story that centers around the animal citizens of an English riverbank. Each animal has a different personality, from easy-going Mole to water-loving Ratty, to the wise and wiley Badger, the spoiling-for-a-fight Weasels, and of course boastful Toad, the owner of splendid Toad Hall, who has too much money and too little sense to know what to do with it.

The education of Toad by his well-meaning friends provides a good lesson. The battle for Toad Hall near the end of the story is also very exciting.

Editorial Reviews:

This energetic modern reading of Kenneth Grahame's 1908 children's story The Wind in the Willows follows the gentle, pastoral adventures of four anthropomorphized creatures from the English countryside: Mole, Rat, Toad, and Badger. David Ian Davies brings ample character and vitality to his performance of the different animals, imbuing them with their own unique personalities. A charming, timeless classic that communicates both a love of wildlife and a curiosity about human nature, The Wind in the Willows is a whimsical, engrossing listen for both children and adults.

Members Reviews:

To Make Your Memories!

Just timeless! You won't be disappointed.....read it till you've got it memorized, then you can tell the story!........and watch the sparkle in your youngsters eyes!.......what fun!

A Classic for All Ages

Like the Muppet Show of the 1970s, The Wind in the Willows is a 'children's' classic that adults can love too. Our very grown-up book club read it as a December treat (coming off The Odyssey, no less), and all were enchanted by it. All of the animal characters speak to an aspect of our nature, Toad perhaps most conspicuously (and despicably, and enjoyably). It was a real treat, and the illustrations in this edition are more than worthy of the plot. Indeed, while reading this on an airplane, a passenger across the aisle noticed them and commented on their beauty!

A Beloved Classic

This classic children's tale came up in a conversation and it compelled me to buy it again. It's one you can glean great wisdom from as an adult. It's perfect for reading out loud to your children.

A true classic

My mother read this story aloud to the family, when I was a child, and so it holds a special place in my heart. The language is beautiful, the descriptions and characters charming.

great children's classic but ordered this as a senior citizen ...

great children's classic but ordered this as a senior citizen to enjoy again----seems shorter this time around but just as delightful. Treat yourself to an escape and read about these animal creatures come to life.

Recommend it for Halloween on spiders

Great book for Kindergarten! I read this and the kiddos wrote or dictated their opinion if spiders would make a good pet based on this book's theme -- about a spider that wants to be a family's pet. The kids loved it. I also compared it to National Geographic's Spiders to help distinguish between nonfiction and fiction books.

Five Stars

cute story

Perfect for all ages

I read this to my kindergarten class I substituted one day, and I knew this was the perfect gift for my deathly afraid 17 year old daughter. It's a beautifully written and illustrated book. You don't need it in hardback, because the quality is right there. I have this on my mantel for now, just to enjoy my chuckle as I read it to my little ones. Very sweet book.

great book for early readers!

Cute book. I bought it for a community program I am involved in... Early Learning Coalition. Our goal is to inspire and encourage children to enjoy reading. My buddy wanted a book about spiders, when I read it, I knew it was perfect! Funny, good illustrations and positive messages.

This is an adorable story, that our whole family loves

This is an adorable story, that our whole family loves. The first time I read this story I laughed really hard- the ending is really cute. My son loves the story and the pictures. He loves spiders and loves that he gets to yell, "AAAARRRGGGGHHH" whenever we read this book. It is not only cute, but the book seems durable and well made (which is always nice when you have a toddler turning the pages).
