GREAT plot, but poor grammar and punctuation!

I bought this book and Birth Of A Monster for my son, who is a huge Minecraft fanatic! I found that I was as interested as he was & wanted to read "just one more chapter" myself at story time! My only complaint is that the grammar & punctuation is atrocious! It seemed like every other sentence ended with a misplaced question mark. This, combined with the poor grammar, made for choppy reading, especially when reading aloud with a kid. I did not expect this from an author, who has written many books. Also, there were a few curse words that really weren't necessary. Since it seems like these books are read by many kids, I didn't understand why the author chose to use these words. Luckily, there were only a few.

and it seems the issue got better, but I wouldn't recommend this one

The writing was lacking a copy editor, which is disappointing when it's something your 8 year old wants to read, but can't because the editing is non existent and there's a million errors. He adores the plot, though - once you figure out what's going on. There's other books in the series we tried that were later on, and it seems the issue got better, but I wouldn't recommend this one.

AWESOMEST BOOK EVA!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!NOW!

I loved this book!

I thought that the book had many typos here and there but otherwise i think everyone who plays minecraft should get this book. before you get this one though, get Herobrine: Birth of a Monster: a Minecraft Novel because then this one will make more sense with SparkleGirl knowing herobrine, e.t.c. but other then the few typos, i will probably read this again!

Awesome

this is the best book ever!

if you like action novels then you need to get this book.

I think this book is good for girls and boys but it does have a lot of death and various uses of

the word damn.still this is a very good book and you need to get it!!!

Excellent book! My class loved it!!

Awesome! Something to think about

I bought this book when it came out. My children at the time were 6 yrs (boy), 8 years, and 9 years (girls) old. They loved the story and so did my husband and myself. Great story. Loved the ending. A year later I am picking out books to give to my children's school library and "One Cool Friend" is one of the books on top of my list. An AR test is available... 3.1; Points 0.5. A definite keeper.

Cool story, great writing and fabulous illustrations

Title: How to Be a Viking

Author: Cressida Cowell

Narrator: Cressida Cowell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-21-14

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 21 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Vikings are brave.

But Hiccup isn't like other Vikings. He's afraid of everything - including the sea. When Hiccup heads off for his very first ocean voyage, his seasickness is the least of his worries! The Vikings are lost in a terrible storm, and it's up to Hiccup to help them find their way home again.

Featuring the beloved main character from the celebrated How to Train Your Dragon series, here's an exciting adventure that shows what it really means to be brave.

Members Reviews:

Before Hiccup meets Toothless.

Warning this story is less than ten minutes long, with a preview of How to Train your Dragon for the remaining time. While this story is cute, I think this should have just been added to the end of the first book. I'm glad I waited for the semi annual sale to get it. I did not like the echo that came when Stoic talked, portraying how big he was, good thing the other books aren't like that. Read by the Author who is okay but is no David Tennatt (whom I love.) Although the preview of How to Train your Dragon is narrated by David Tennatt.

Cute, but REALLY short

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, but with the caveat that it is actually less than 10 minutes long. The remainder is a preview of How to Train Your Dragon. While the preview is fantastic, we'd already listened to that whole book.

What about Cressida Cowells performance did you like?

Not nearly as good as David Tennant (who narrates the rest of the series, including the preview at the end of the book), but she does ok.

Any additional comments?

Cute -- but very short -- story with a good message for kids.

Publisher: Saland Publishing

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

A magical fairy tale, which features a feisty princess who has the unfortunate curse of life without gravity. Can the curse be broken before she floats away. Beautifully retold to entertain children of all ages.

Members Reviews:

Classic Fairy Tale with an Odd Twist

I thought when I saw the title, 'The Light Princess', that this was going to be a story about a princess that somehow had something to do with lights, like shining or glowing lights. But no, it's about a princess who is cursed at her christening so that gravity has no power over her. Unless she's held down, she's so 'light' that she floats up in the air. It's kind of cute and kind of weird, but basically it's a classic fairy tale about a princess in distress who is rescued by a prince, and they live happily ever after. I rolled my eyes at the beginning of it, but really, I rather liked it by the time I got to the end!

Fond Memories Revisited

I very fondly remember my father reading this story to me when I was a little girl, and I have loved it ever since. Now that I am an adult, I can fully appreciate George MacDonald's sharp, yet gentle, wit and the story's themes of unselfishness, sacrifice and love. And of course, I still enjoy the romance between the prince and princess.

Definitely one of my favorite fairy tales of all time! I hope to one day read it to my children. :)

This is a wonderful fairy tale of a princess who was "cursed" with ...

This is a wonderful fairy tale of a princess who was "cursed" with a lack of gravity, therefore she was light. The clever ending and the overcoming of the curse, is heartwarming and satisfying. The old english text would be difficult for young readers. I retold a condensed version of this story to my young grandchildren. They loved it.

"Light of spirit, by my charms, Light of body, every part...

...Never weary human arms-Only crush thy parents' heart!" Enjoyable fairy tale, my favorite passage being "He had fallen in love with her almost, already; for her anger made her more charming than any one else had ever beheld her..." Fine book and a good buy only made better if you can find it as part of a worthy collection.

Love the Light Princess!!

The Light Princess is one of my favorite stories ever! I would love it if there was an adaptation got smaller children- would make a wonderful bedtime story. Anyways, if you like C.S. Lewis and Grimm fairytales, you will love George MaDonald's fantasy stories!

Title: House of Horrors

Subtitle: A Weirdville Book

Author: Majanka Verstraete

Narrator: Miriam Blum

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-08-14

Publisher: Evolved Publishing LLC

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

When her parents allow her to go to the fair, Jacky is over the moon. The fair is most famous for its haunted mansion, the House of Horrors, and her friend Ben can't wait to try it out. Her best friend, Cass, is a little more reluctant, but then again, Cass has always been a chicken when it comes to getting scared. Jacky and Cass are determined to act tough, so when Ben suggests they try out the House of Horrors, the girls tag along, even though the place gives them the chills. As soon as the three of them enter the spooky monstrosity, the ride comes to a screeching halt, and the horror begins. The lights fade, and a hooded figure appears and tells them they're stuck in a twisted game of cat and mouse. He will show them their worst fears, and if the kids manage to face down those fears, they'll have a chance of getting out of the House of Horrors alive. If they don't, well.... Thirty minutes to go. Thirty minutes to face their nightmares... and the clock is ticking. Be sure to check out the other books in the Weirdville series, including The Doll Maker and Fright Train.

Members Reviews:

Suprisingly introspective - Loved it!

Tell me, do you like haunted houses?

If you do, please know that I'm definitely not with you. When I went to the Alien Panic Place at Spaceworld last year (I blame my friend for dragging me and my family there), I basically kept my eyes on the ground the whole time. And I still screamed several times.

So you can imagine that I wouldn't want to be in the situation that Jacky, Cass and Ben are in. When Jacky and Ben drag a hesitant Cass to the House of Horrors, something goes wrong and their made to face their real fears - or never leave.

The scary part about this book are the fears that the children face. Those fears aren't strange fears (for example, the fear of long words, or hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia). They're normal fears, such as the fear of being invisible to others, the fear of the weird old woman down the street, etc. Most kids will definitely identify with at least one of these fears.

In fact, this book is very instrospective. All three kids are forced to examine themselves, and through that, they come to know themselves better. It was an unexpected, but welcome element in the book.

And the ending. The ending may be the scariest part. Majanka is really proving her ability to write books with a (scary) twist at the end. I found this book to be much scarier than The Doll Maker.

Scarier than the first book, if you liked The Doll Maker, you should pick this up.

Disclaimer: I got this book free as part of Enchanted blog tours in exchange for a free and honest review.

This review was first posted at Inside the mind of a Bibliophile: http://www.allsortsofbooks.blogspot.jp/2014/06/house-of-horrors-by-majanka-verstraete.html

Nice Chapter Book with a Definite Chill Factor

House of Horrors (Weirdville) is the second book in the Weirdville series aimed at the chapter book genre from author Majanka Verstraete. I also read and enjoyed The Doll Maker (a Weirdville Book) (Read My Review) earlier this year and look forward to reading the third book in the series, Fright Train (A Weirdville Book).

First, it must be noted that these stories tap into some of the basic fears that both children and adults have, with that in mind, as a parent I would highly suggest that you read the book with your child or prior to them reading it alone.

Title: Who's That Stepping on Plymouth Rock

Author: Jean Fritz

Narrator: Jean Fritz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-19-14

Publisher: Weston Woods

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

In her inimitable style, Jean Fritz tells us the story about the unique history of Plymouth Rock and the First Comers, or Pilgrims who first came ashore in 1620.

Members Reviews:

Honest Look at Plymouth Rock's History

While many people have heard the story of Plymouth Rock, no one much thinks about the idea that maybe it isn't exactly true. Everyone knows the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock and that's where they're first steps were made. It's pretty much historic fact in most people's eyes, but as this book points out, that's not exactly the case. There's absolutely no evidence that the rock was memorable for any reason at all until they decided to build a wharf where the rock stood in 1741.

This book does so much more than give the history of Plymouth Rock and all the moves and changes it's undergone. It also encourages children to think about history in a more objective way. It states that this whole story of the rock is treated as fact because a 95 year old man declared it was truth, and as his father knew some of the First Comers (Pilgrims), it was taken as fact. In truth, there's no hard evidence beyond this story, so there's every chance it could be completely untrue! Doesn't that teach children to think a little more critically and to research everything before they take it as a hard and solid truth.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to teach their children to think a little deeper into "historic fact", as well as anyone who has visited, or plans to visit Plymouth Rock. It's great to know the actual history behind a landmark you've been to or will soon visit.

an all-American marketing campaign

In this book, you get to watch a bit of history making itself, and remaking itself. This book sort of breaks the highly reverent attitude of those Daughters of the American Revolution types by taking a straight look at the circumstances surrounding how the rock that became Plymouth Rock was treated as the centuries went by by the town that grew up around it.

Interesting and Fun

We read this for Social Studies this week. It is the history of Plymouth Rock. This was a really good factual book that was told in such a way that my 8 year old really enjoyed it. Who know that it traveled? It was recommended in the book Social Studies Through Children's Literature by Anthony D. Fredricks and is recommended for grades K-3rd.

It shows how the rock moved a lot.

It is funny how a rock can move from place to place and got broken two times. First, it was on the beach. Then the Pilgrims saw it. When they tried to move it broke. The top of the rock got all the fame. Then they cemented both pieces together and it stands under a special place.

Condition not as described.

I received this book within the expected delivery time. I was disappointed in the books condition as it was rated "very good". I would have only rated the book "good" as the whole book(cover and pages) was bent up in the corners both top and bottom(not talking dog ears, but large 1" bend).

black lagoon series

Awesome awesome books at the right price. My seven year old granddaughter loves this series. great variety to choose from and a great price

Fun book!

My sister is a librarian, so I got this for her, and so she can add it to the grade school's collection. Everyone laughed at the title!

A Very Simple Story, Teaches Kids Not to Be Afraid of Something They Haven't Experienced

The Librarian for the Black Lagoon is one of many books in a series that teach kids not to be afraid of something they have not experienced simply because they've heard scary rumours from other kids. Other books by Mike Thaler and Jared Lee (illustrator) in this from black lagoon series include, teacher, principal, gym teacher and school nurse. Obviously most kids will have been to a library by the time they are old enough to read picture books and even before that not too many are afraid of libraries but it does highlight to kids how silly it is to be scared of something they don't know and to believe stupid rumours which they can use to think about other stuff they may be scared of. Also useful in comparing to eating healthy foods they've never tried but think are gross and things like this.

Basic plot is the main character finds out his class has an excursion to visit the library. Himself and the other kids have been told probably by older kids (the source is never revealed) that really strict rules apply at the library, it is a terrible boring place and if they disobey the librarian or library assistant they will be laminated, electrocuted and other terrible things. Of course when they go to the library they are in for a big surprise.

The illustrations by Jared Lee are very basic but very well done and actually make the book funnier than the text alone.

This book is seriously funny. Some of the Black Lagoon books rely more ...

This book is seriously funny. Some of the Black Lagoon books rely more on violence than real humor but this one is so witty and funny. Some of the references are dated but that just cracks me up more. My son asks for it almost every night and we have a blast reading it. i think it is the best one in the series.

Lentil

I bought this book for our two youngest children to enjoy as our local library doesn't have it on their shelves. The pictures are beautiful and the story is just as charming. It is a good book to purchase for younger children who may be experiencing some insecurity when it comes to keeping up with their peers accomplishments. This story focuses on the importance of music (as a means of self expression and celebration of life),the ability to remain focused when all doesn't go as planned (Lentil saves the day when he plays his harmonica at the Homecoming Celebration for Col. Carter), and acceptance of accomplishments of others (Even old Sneep is happy about the hospital that Colonel Carter is having built for the townspeople).

Members Reviews:

omg Again!?

Lol My two year old son LOVES this story in both book and animated versions. In fact we must have the book open while the show is going. Two and he's got the whole Alphabet Soup memorized before me. Wow. We watch it over 20 times a day and read it over and over again. Lol From the very 1st time this was a HUGE hit. I wish there were animated versions of this whole series...I'm really needing that about now. Lol

my son likes this book

In this book, backhoe loader is taken to work site by a flatbed truck. Loader has to clean up a lot with lots of junk on it. There is countdown (10 to 1) of broken things that she is cleaning up. Finally, she pulls out the stump of the tree from the ground. The lot is clean, but digger is dirty. Then she takes a mud bath and flat bed drives her home. One has to read this story couple times to start liking it... but once one gets into reading with a silly voice, this is a fun book. My son wanted to read this book three times the first day he got it. We also like I am Mighty! and I Stink! Now he also wants to have I am Fast! the book which we have read in local bookstore. Again (as in I am Mighty!) the illustration /text combination is powerful. I ordered this book used and received a copy in pretty good condition.

We love Stinky and Dirty!

My 2.5 year old loves this book. I'm tired of reading it but who can complain about a child wanting to be read to? We bought the book after watching the Amazon pilot video 100 times. If you have a boy that loves cars, tractors and such I would say he would love this book too.

Cute book for little boys!

My son and I always read several books by this author from the library but not I'm Dirty. So for Christmas we bought it for him and he absolutely loved it. We've read it almost every night since Christmas. I highly recommend for your typical boy who loves all things trucks and dirt. They will get a kick out of it and all the other books by this author!

Perfect for a girl (or boy) fascinated by tractors!

My daughter (3) loves this book. We picked it up from the library originally and had to buy it because everytime we're there, it's "Can I get I'm Dirty?" She's fascinated by tractors of any sort (farm, road, etc.)and this has been a great tool to teach her about what different tractors do -- there's a lot of construction going on near our home area and it's been fun to explain the different ones and their jobs. Plus, the little picture on the back cover ("Sheesh!") is an extra giggle after reading it. The book talks about the job of the backhoe loader and runs through counting numbers 1-10 so we get a double learning shot with this one. One of her favorites now and I'm looking forward to sharing with her 9 mo. brother soon!
