Love it

Mr. Putter Books Are Great For Bedtime Stories!

My daughter loves the Mr. Putter series because they have (very short) chapters and seeing Tabby's antics on the page are almost as good as watching cats on youtube. I love them because they are always quiet and calm and depicts great messages like 'think of special ways to make someone else more happy' and 'find pleasure in simple things'. The message in this book is that patience is rewarded mixed with go the extra mile. Some of the other books in the series have more of a plot that not even I could guess what would happen on the next page and this one kind of just kills time in a plodding way but if you're already into the series you'll appreciate it.

Great Story, Great Series

My son has recently began wanting more complicated books when we are reading and I found these while searching on Amazon. I purchased them and am very pleased.

The story line is simple but follows a natural, building progression that some of the other "early readers" lack. The short simple chapters have allowed me to introduce a more advanced format to my son and I feel has really enabled him to progress to more complicated story concepts.

I am looking forward to picking up the rest of the series and would definately recommend it to others.

Formatting of kindle edition is terrible. Don't waste your money.

We are huge Mr. Putter and Taby fans in our house. But, the formatting on the Mr. Putter and Taby kindle books are awful. Pages are duplicated, and pictures are chopped off. Pictures do not join together correctly the way they should. The publisher should be ashamed of itself. Honestly, my preschooler could have done a better job of the formatting.

KIds loved it

Very cute, not too long and the story was enjoyed by my 6 and 4 yr olds. The pictures make it essential for keeping their interest.

Members Reviews:

Ever wonder about those geese up there?

This is a wonderful and endearing story for the young and young at heart. You will feel like you are aloft with this little flock and also share in their adventure and wonder in all the unexpected challenges on the ground. Loaded with facts, philosophy and humor, this book keeps you charmed to the triumphant end. Don't be surprised if you hear yourself whisper "Skylar?" next time you spot those random geese flying up there in some haphazard formation, honking at one another. If you recognize the leader of the flock, it just might not be your imagination.

The lovely black and white drawings provide the perfect mood for the text and goings on in the story. I loved this story. I could not put this book down 'til I was done.

Carol Ray

This book reads like a classic.

"Skylar" is a beautifully told, smart, entertaining gem of a book. Both child and adult readers will fall in love with this bumbling but brave group of pond geese as they struggle to remember just what makes them geese. Best of all, this book shares with the very best works of children's literature an opportunity for young readers to learn and stretch and grow just as the characters do. From new vocabulary words to lessons about nature to poetic imagery, readers are encouraged to "think" their way through the book rather than just follow the story. As the characters expand their own language and understanding of the world, so does the reader. That is an awfully big gift from such a little book, and well worth the read!

One of the best novels ever written about geese!

"The trouble with geese is that they're always stopping to think things over."

These lines are spoken by a one-eyed heron who has enlisted a flock of five out of shape suburban pond geese to help him migrate south. It is from a wonderful new book Skylar by Mary Cuffe-Perez.

Skylar is the story of five Canada geese who live an idyllic life as resident geese at a suburban man-made pond. However, these geese are envious of the wild geese that they observe migrating each fall. They have an opportunity to emulate their wild cousins when a lost one-eyed heron arrives at their pond and seeks aid in migrating.

Each of the five suburban geese has a unique and interesting personality. Readers will both laugh and cry as they follow the journey of the five Canada geese and the one-eyed heron. Although the book is marketed for young readers, everyone who reads it will love it. With the possible exception of Mel Ellis' extraordinary Wild Goose, Brother Goose this is the best novel ever written about geese.

Heartwarming realistic fiction!

What a sweet little beginning reader! I'd put this at a challenging 2nd grade, easy 3rd grade level. Alice's family is so wonderful, so warm and charming. She's teased by older brother Oliver for mispronouncing "aminal" After a class field trip to a small farm, Alice wishes more than anything for a real pet pig on her birthday. Her family has a delightful tradition of making an elaborate shaped cake every year to commemorate an important event of that year. A penguin, an airplane, a chutes and ladders cake, a train, a stegasorus, Big Bird, even a plain "cake, cake" for the year her brother complains about his cake not being grand enough. This year her parents make her a pig cake... and then surprise her with a pet guinea pig. Her little sister Rosie gets into Alice's gifts including a paint set and inadvertently covers Oliver with glitter but none of that matters. Alice names her new guinea pig "Aminal", much to Oliver's dismay. This story is a real winner.

Exotic music introduces this worthwhile tale and reappears at appropriate times. When a poor, hardworking woodcutter comes upon a fine pot, he's delighted. Performer Bethany Eyrich captures the joy of the man and his wife as the pot produces a second copy of whatever is put in it. Then, the wife falls into the pot as she slips on the coins that have made the family rich. Soon, a second wife appears, and the man asks, "Can a man live with two women at the same time?" Each of the two wives gives a spirited reply, "Not in my house." Sound effects add to the ambiance.

Members Reviews:

Great for preschoolers

I read this book to my preschool class. They liked it, and they understood the concept of putting in one item, and two items coming out. I asked them what they would put in the pot, and one student wanted to put in Disney tickets.

Good book, but bent in delivery.

Cute book. I used with teaching "doubles" in math. The package was bent and stuffed into my mailbox and thus the book was bent.

It is Just OK

A nice little read. the story line is OK.

Publisher's Summary:

Members Reviews:

Awesome book.

Are you kidding? This book is awesome!

Wild West, cowboys, entrepreneurs, incredible illustrations. This book works a little bit as a biography of John Stetson, but it really tells of the development of the perfect Western hat.

More books like this, please.

Illustrator Holly Meade never fails to delight her readers

what a special book this is! Illustrator Holly Meade never fails to delight her readers. This book is "fun history" because of a clearly written and lighthearted text accomanied by those very human, never boring illustrations. You can nearly detect the twinkle in the eyes of some of the people in the pictures.

Awesome!

This book is awesome! I liked it because it gave me an idea about how hats are made. I also learned about the first person to make cowboy hats -- John Stetson. Did you know that you could buy a Boss of the Plains hat TODAY? Online? For about $300? The pictures in this book are colorful. You can see how he made the hats, and you can see what the West looked like during the Gold Rush in Colorado. I think this book is very good for children who are interested in the West. I am in 2nd grade and homeschooled. I recommend it for 2nd graders and up to 5th graders, too.

Best of both worlds: true story with fun details and illustrations. They'll hardly know they're learning!!

This is the best of both worlds...for kids! It's the true story of John B. Stetson and how he got into his famous cowboy hats. The hat in this book, he Boss of the Plains, sells for between $100-$200 on Amazon! Your kids will love it and you will, too. A delightful read with lots of details, though not so many that kids lose interest. I have 8 kids, the oldest being 20. We discovered this book at the library when he was about 7 or so, and I've read it to all the kids in between. When my two youngest fell in love with the story, I went ahead and bought it. Wish I'd paid more attention, though: I accidentally ordered paperback. Bummer. I may order it again in hardcover. It gets a lot of use!

Read how and when the stetson was invented RIGHT here!

This well-written and beautifully illustrated book tells children (and adults) how the stetson came to be invented and still in production today! John Batterson Stetson started work at a young age in his family's hatmaking business. He dreamed of the West but did not get there until much later in life when he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. A group of travelers encouraged him to come with them to Pikes Peak, Colorado Territory. As they sat around a campfire, someone wished for a tent but knew that skins would not work. John told them that fur would work but they just scoffed at him. Guess what? He proved them wrong, making a felt covering!

Once in Colorado, John soon found out that his "fashionable" derby hat offered absolutely NO protection so decided to make a better one for himself. Read on in the book to see who bought the first one right off his head, the risk he took to get folks buying and how it all went.

Love all the Arthur and D

Love all the Arthur and D.W. books. Fun to read with my son, and has a very positive message but never pretentious.

Encourages young readers

So happy to still find the Arthur books. Simple wholesome reading (no underpants, boogers, creepy stuff, etc).

King Arthur ( A Marc Brown Arthur Chapter Book 13)

These Arthur Chapter books are great. It covers most of what was in the T.V. show. Fun and entertaining story. You get to know the characters and the drawings, just like the show, are adorable.

better study your history more!

this book talks a middle ages competition, and Arthur and his friends know absolutely NOTHING about the middle ages, if you don't count there were knights at that time. Arthur didn't study history very hard so they ended up losing most games. the other schools keep beating Arthur and his friends. this book teaches that you better prepare before you go into a test or a competition. you better study hard, otherwise you end up pulled into mud like Arthur.....

i love arthur!!!

i love arthur!!! this book rocks!!! arthur is soo hot!!!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE BOOK IN THE WORLD!!!

Arthur and the Popularity Test: An Arthur Chapter Book 12

These Arthur Chapter books are great. It covers most of what was in the T.V. show. Fun and entertaining story. You get to know the characters and the drawings, just like the show, are adorable.

Surely A Hit Among Arthur Fans

This book Arthur and the Popularity Test, by Marc Brown, is for children who are ready to read on their own. This thought-provoking take willsurely be a hit along Arthur fans. In the bok, Arthur feels mad because he is reading a teenage girl magazine. Sue Ellen and Fern are teasing him because he is reading these magazines. Also, they are annoying him by laughing a lot. He takes the populary test in the teenage girl magazine, but he doesn't like to read these magazines.

One of the ways Arthur handles life is up and down through imagination. One of my favorite parts in the story is when Arthur imagines that he was going to get a good grade on the popularity test, but he got an F and he was surprised. When he got that grade he was surprised because he tried his best and came across a bad grade. That's its called Arthur and the Popularity Test.

Are you looking for a girl magazine? You should read Arthur and the Popularity Test. This book was so good, five tears came out of my eyes! I couldn't even feel it, that is how good this book was. There are a lot of mysteries in the book. If you read Arthur you would not even take your hands off of it. If you like reading Arthur, go to Barnes and Nobles and pick out Arthur and the Popularity Test.

One of my Favorite Arthur Books

I have mostly all the Arthur chapter books, and this is almost at the top of the list. I liked this book because Sue Ellen and Fern want to find out what their "friendship rating" is. But since the magazine with the test is for teenagers, it wasn't a good test for them. Read the book to find out why!

The other books that shipped with it were fine.

Arrived quickly but water damages and smelly. My daughter said it looked gross and she will not touch it, much less read it. The other books that shipped with it were fine.

Not my favorite

The rest of you may like this, but I just personally don't. It just has a boring plot, finding the Popular Girl magazine and just taking that popularity test. So if I were you I wonldn't read this boring book.
