Great Mystery For Young Grade School Children:

This is a great book for young children who either can read by themselves or are being read to. It is very interesting with a mystery for them to solve. My grandsons loved figuring out the puzzling facts and were excited about the answer to the mystery. I recommend this book for young gradeschoolers.

Just right!

This is a great series. Nate the great is written with children in mind. There are just enough challenging words and a plot which keeps young interested. Readers can become familiar with reoccurring caracters, and develop their own opinions and feelings Nate the great friends. This series seems to challenged children just enough and encourage them to keep reading. The length of the book is just right for children. Also the specials in the back keeps children engaged with Hands-On opportunities

Five Stars

Very entertaining for my grandson.

Four Stars

My son absolutely loves this book

Amir Vetry Critique Of Nate The Great

I read the book Nate The Great Goes Down In The Dumps. This book is a Realistic Fiction book. When I read this book I thought that it was an exelent book, because it had the things that would really happen to a ten year old child like me! It also had alot of details so it was facile to recount to the book,and understand it. This is a Book that I enjoyed and recommend it to anybody within second grade through fith grade.

Publisher's Summary:

When Oliver asks his friend Nate the Great to find his lost weed, Nate can't say no. This isn' just any weed. It's a Superweed that Oliver bought from Rosamond's Adopt-A-Weed sale.

First Nate must figure out where to look for the weed. Together with his trusty dog Sludge, they search for clues in the woods, the park and even the library! But is the biggest clue right under Nate's nose?

Members Reviews:

We love Nate!

Nate the Great is awesome. This was one of my favorites.

How Could You Possibly Not Love This Story?

This is such a great story. Just the premise, a young girl picks weeds that "nobody wants" and finds them new homes at her Adopt-a-Weed sale. OMG. How can you not love that? Some knee slapper quotes for the five-year old.

from a Rosamond song:

"Be proud you're a weed

wild and free,

and you might grow up

to be a tree.

'Rosamond thinks big' I said, 'as well as strange.'"

There are a couple of other ones that your five year old will love. That's the whole point of this book. Nate the Great is driven to finding a STUPID weed and he doesn't like it. Yet he dedicates himself to sleuthing and soon, the mystery is solved.

Took me back

I used to read these all the time when I was younger... when at the library recently I saw one of these books and remembered them, and decided to read one again. This one was very good and is recommend it to any young person.

Stupidweed?

Nate the Great Stalks Stupidweed... Could they make it any more obvious?

A little recap of the plot:

Oliver loses his weed asks his buddy Nate the Great to help him find it. This isn't just any weed. It's dank superweed that Oliver bought off some hippie chick named Rosamond with tons of cats. Nate looks for the weed in the woods, the park, and even in the library before finally discovering that Oliver had accidentally crushed it in a book. Unfortunately, at that point it was too dry so they couldn't smoke it.

In defense of the author, Nate the Great doesn't condone drug use and cleverly dubs the superweed, "stupidweed" Nate prefers to spend his time in the library. A lot of friends he'll make!

An OK book for kids. A great book for adults! Light up a fattie and read on!

My 5 year old loved this book.

My 5 year old son brought this book home from the library. He got very interested in the story. Since it was our first Nate the Great Mystery, it gave a craving for more. Next we read Nate the Great and the Missing Key. Now we're hooked on these series of books and we own the set.

All "Nate" books are good for the young reader

Great for young readers

I bought four of these books in hopes that I could interest some of my struggling boy readers in the 3rd grade. I have a waiting list for each of them. My 2nd and 3rd grade boys and girls have enjoyed the books. I am planning on buying the rest of the books in this series this fall. My boys are already asking if they can go on a waiting list for them.

Great Book for right before bed. Cut the reading off at a chapter for the nect night long enough to do that.

These books are long enough to stop at a chapter for the next night. 4 yr old loves rto be read to at night before bed

Five Stars

Not as good at Which Witch

I was expecting a rather more alternate reality to the one we got, based on the purchase of other books by Eva Ibbotson. This is a bit of a half way house; some real creatures, some not. Some unusual people, some not. It seems a bit more ploddy because of that - or maybe the eco message makes it feel that way.

Never the less, it does have a few really gripping set pieces in it. Just a bit too long in-between them.

My boys (aged 5 & 7) love the Great Ghost Rescue and Which Witch to bits. I don't think they will ask for this book to replayed over and over in quite the same way.

Title: First The Egg

Author: Laura Vaccaro Seeger

Narrator: Elle Fanning

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-29-11

Publisher: Weston Woods Studios

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Which came first? The chicken or the egg? A book about transformations - from egg to chicken, seed to flower and caterpillar to butterfly. An entirely fresh and memorable presentation on the concepts of growth and creativity.

Members Reviews:

Intriguing!

This book was suggested with another book I was already purchasing and I didn't really look at it before getting it home. What a simple, complex book! An oxymoron? Probably, but it seems to fit. The book is simple enough for a little bitty, but complex enough for a school-age child. It's great to be read to a child. It's great to be read by a child. You can take it at face value or you can expand on the ideas presented. The artwork is gorgeous; the "holes" in each page creative. This is a very well done book. It's not surprising that it's an award winner.

Beautiful book with very simple prose

Beautiful book with very simple prose. First the egg, then the chicken. First the tadpole, then the... You get the idea.

A great book to keep or give as a gift

"First the Egg" was my first Laura Vaccaro Seeger book. I have a few hens and my friends' kids seem to know me as the woman who has chickens, so it's a perfect gift for me to give at baby showers or early years birthday parties. I loved this book so much I immediately checked out all Seeger's other books that my public library had in its collection. Turns out she is a wonderful author and illustrator of concept books. This one illustrates the "FirstâThen" concept. The illustrations are simple yet beautiful, and the pages are nice and thick for younger hands that haven't learned how to gently turn pages.

Just a heads up: Don't expect it to answer the timeless question: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?!"

Five Stars

You can't go wrong with Seeger.

A must for the science-minded kid/parent

As others have written, this is an extremely clever book with outstanding illustrations. I would even say that each page is a piece of art. If you value early introduction to science, nature, and critical thinking then this is a must have book. The tie-ins are ingenious and the book comes full cirle by the end. And the incorporation of the cut outs is equally remarkable. It's hard to explain. Read it and you'll see what I mean. Importantly, it's not too wordy so it's a pleasure to read. When I read it to my 2 1/2 year old duaghter, I let her her finish the second part of the "then the...." refrain. She enjoys it as much as I do which says it all. Buy it and read it to your kids.

Title: Cinderella, James Marshall's

Author: Barbara Karlin

Narrator: Stephanie J. Block

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 12-23-11

Publisher: Weston Woods Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

The classic childrens story of triumph over adversity is entertainingly re-told by Barbara Karlin and brought to life with James Marshalls signature illustrations.

Members Reviews:

A newie but a goodie

The fairy tale of Cinderella in this book is almost the same retelling as in Marcia Brown's awesome 1950's "Cinderella", but the different illustrations mean that BOTH of them are worth having.

James Marshall has a cartoony style of illustrating that really gets the job done. He illustrated the "Miss Nelson is Missing" series of books, so his style is very familiar. I think the funniest thing about the illustrations is the pets on every page -- they are usually communicating directly with the reader. Look for the Fairy Godmother's feet on the last page!

Five Stars

Another great Marshall take on a favorite tale..

This is a good traditional version of Cinderella

This is a good traditional version of Cinderella. I read this to my students before we look at all the other versions out there (Cinderella Skeleton, Irish Cinderlad, etc.)

not as funny

I was expecting this book to be as funny as his Rats on the Roof but it wasn't. If you teach grades 2-4, you should read Rats on the Roof aloud to your class - I did for many years and laughed right along with them. This book, however, was more like a retelling rather than originally funny, and maybe that was the author's purpose, which is fine, and there are uses for this kind of book in the classroom, perhaps to inspire children to author their own retellings. ( I taught 3rd grade for 41 years)

Five Stars

I love it!

Title: Lincoln And Douglass An American Friendship

Author: Nikki Giovanni

Narrator: Danny Glover

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-23-11

Publisher: Weston Woods Studios

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

In celebration of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday in February 2009, we present this story of the unusual friendship between two great American leaders. At a time when racial tensions were high and racial equality was not yet established, Lincoln and Douglass formed a strong bond over shared ideals.

Members Reviews:

Good book.

Nikki Giovanni actually read portions of this book aloud to me (and others) at an event on April 18th, 20ll at the university I attend. She has a dry, quirky sense of humor that I really enjoyed, so I had to order this book. And I liked it! It was nice to see a new side of these American leaders. My only complaint is that the pages about Harper's Ferry and John Brown (while important) take the focus away from Lincoln's and Douglass' story.

Five Stars

Younster really liked it! Good read for children.

Five Stars

Great book for any child above 1st grade.

Lincoln and Douglas: An American Friendship

It is a great book for the kids and family too. I am very pleased to add it to our home library.

My favorite president ever was Abraham Lincoln and man who every US man should strive to be like as well as Frederick Douglass who also knew the truths and held them accountable. This picture book is about the friendship of these two honest men who were wise beyond their years. Together the two would be invincible if greedy men had not changed the inevitable.

This picture book is rich with friendship and honesty. Written by Nikki Giovanni, illustrated by Bryan Collier and published by Henry Holt and Company.
