Title: Dr. York, Miss Winnie, and the Typhoid Shot

Author: Donald Davis

Narrator: Donald Davis

Format: Abridged

Length: 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-20-00

Publisher: August House

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

In "Tonsils," young Davis comes face-to-face with a creature known as a "nurse-nun" when he has to get his tonsils removed. This humorous account of a tonsillectomy performed on Good Friday in a Catholic hospital pops with Davis' usual firecracker wit and humor.

For Adults and Young Adults

Editorial Reviews:

Davis presents a new story that adds to his repertoire of small-town North Carolina tales. Embellishing the colorful characters he recalls or creates from his childhood, Davis draws on episodes and events involving family, school buddies and hometown folks. With immense charm and a wry wit, he captures the humor of rural boyhood. He sets the scene with a few well-chosen descriptions and then lets events evolve. Davis gives listeners a joyous sense of anticipation. If Miss Winnie is your first encounter with Davis, it certainly not be your last. The story delights but also tilts the conventional view of childhood fears and injustices. Most everyone has dreaded a doctor's shot, but few ever get to play out the hilarious episode as Davis does in Miss Winnie.

Critic Reviews:

"A master of timing, Davis measures some sentences drop by drop, pouring others out like water from a pitcher." (Smithsonian Magazine)

Members Reviews:

Donald Davis is always a super entertainer.

Story and delivery always of the highest quality! The whole family loves each and every one of them!

A Great Book on the Disney Fairies

(Not the same as the Disney "Tinkerbell" franchise movies, follows different characters but is set in the same world). The three Gail Carson Levine books (there are three) interact with Tinkerbell at times but mainly focus on a group of other fairies. The stories are great adventures, perfect for kids of all ages and filled with beautiful watercolor illustrations.

and thoroughly enjoyed them. Family friendly

This series of three books is a must read for fairy lovers and provide lots of history on the fairies of Pixie Hallow.. They are very well written and engaging, I was just as interested in them as my daughter was when I read them to her - summer before first grade. She re-read them to herself as a third grader. and thoroughly enjoyed them. Family friendly, content is appropriate for early elementary children and interesting to older children as well.

Don't pass it by because it's Disney!

I'll admit, I'm not one to want to give my kids a lot of stuff branded by Gigantic Entertainment Corporations, but Ms. Levine takes the original and more, erm, *contemporary* Pan Legends, along with some sly & subtle asides that reference a mermaid movie your kids may know, and works all of that together in a way that respects her young audience and will charm their parents as well. This is a seriously literate book with a lot of what I call "$10 words" for young readers. My own little fairy/neverland fanatic is at the lower end of the recommended age range, with some reading/speech disabilities, and slogged through the tough bits of vocabulary - much of it flowery and anachronistic - without complaint. Don't know if I can credit that the amazing watercolor illustrations (some fold out of the book) or just getting hooked and having to know what happens next, but I know we'll be looking for "Ella" & other books from this author.

What Disney Does Right

While fairies are common fodder for girl's entertainment, the Disney Fairies series is something that stands out. Starring Tinkerbell and a host of individual characters, these books do not employ the trite character formula of "Brainy Girl", "Fashion Girl", "Sporty Girl" and "Shy Girl" that so many books and movies fall back on.

There are real, personal issues addressed within these fantasy adventures and pixie dust or not, there are no easy fixes or straw men challenges here.

Title: Deadly!

Publisher's Summary:

Sprocket's lost his memory; Amy's lost her dad. So now the two of them are on a quest that will take them to the weirdest nudist colony in the world - a hidden community whose dangerous experiments are keeping the nudists alive artificially. Now that their secret is out, are Amy and Sprocket's lives in peril?

©2001 Lockley Lodge Pty Ltd and Creative Input Pty Ltd; (P)2009 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Editorial Reviews:

Deadly! is a fun, entertaining, and delightfully offbeat Australian childrens story about two friends: Sprocket, seemingly performed with a mischievous grin by Francis Greenslade, and Amy, performed with juvenile gusto by Melissa Eccleston.

On the same fateful day, Amys parents vanish into thin air, while Sprocket wakes up in the middle of nowhere with amnesia and the discovery that hes not wearing a stitch of clothing.

The two kids join forces and go on a strange and epic quest to solve both mysteries. Warning: a nudist colony with strange, and possibly immortal, powers is involved. Delightfully offbeat, indeed.

This is a great teen age audio book!!!

I cant recommend this book more for teens and adults that are young at heart. I am 32 years old but i love listening to kids and teens audio books. The narrators for each of the two main characters read the book well. And the two writers has written this book so well that i could not turn it off. It took me about a week to listen to this audio book. This book is about one girl looking for her father and mother. One boy that lost his memory. And you will not believe what happens. I gave this book 5 out of 5 because it keep me at the edge of my set.

Publisher's Summary:

A diabolical hurricane, a selfish fairy, Captain Hook, snobby mermaids, a fierce golden hawk, and the evil dragon Kyto combine in a tantalizing elixir that tests Mother Dove's wisdom, Tink's courage, and Prilla's mettle. Even Clumsy children on the mainland, even listeners, wherever they may be, play a crucial role in deciding Neverland's fate.

Members Reviews:

Far too violent

FYI for parents - this book is NOT part of the "Disney Fairies" chapter-book series about Pixie Hollow -- which this book resembles, and which is appropriate for a wide range of ages. This story starts out fine for younger listeners but turns quite violent and overly dramatic; my daughter has had nightmares as a result (needless to say we did not make it to the end). I regret downloading this; my bad for not recognizing the discrepancy.

Beautiful Refreshing

Swept away by the pictures. What are our talents? It is ok to search wonder andletit be.

Hail William Zappa and John Flanagan

Absolutely loved every second of this Audio Book, John Flanagan's artful tale telling skills are simply brilliant, and William Zappa's gifted tones do justice to the storyline of characters.

Fantastic book, favorite series. Best author.

I have always loved the rangers apprentice series, and I am quite sad that we are done with Wills arch. I do honestly wish that he will write another with maddies training.

Nova Scotia, 1952. Not exactly the place you'd expect to run into pirates. But an old mariner, his boat driven ashore in a gale, brings with him enough stories about buccaneers and their lore to make it seem that he must have had firsthand experience of the pirate life. But how is that possible? Captain Charles Johnson's uncanny knowledge of seamanship's dark side fuels the imagination of the young boy he befriends, setting the boy on his own journey of mysterious adventure.

Members Reviews:

A great Pirate tale for all ages!

What a wonderful book. I believe it was for children or teens, but read better than most adult literature. This way exceeded my expectations. This is a book that should have a sequel. A++

Pirate's Passage! Fun Read!

First saw movie on Netflix by same title then searched out book. Numerous differences between the two, but both were hauntingly fun!
