i can just picture the story in my head. I can't wait to read another katie kazoo book. It really makes me feel great to read. I like it better than watching T.V..

Loved It!

My daughter loves the Katie Kazoo stories and this one did not disappoint her. It was a Kindle download. She read it in an evening so the price wasn't too bad for the shortness of the book.

My daughter loves it

Publisher's Summary:

Griffith, Graham, and Ruby's father passed away in the war. And now they must join their mother and their father's wartime traveling baseball team, The Travelin' Nine, on a tour of America to raise money. No one will tell the kids why the team needs money so badly. Their only clue is a baseball with a hole the size of an acorn in it that their Uncle Owen gave them the night of their father's funeral. They know very little about its significance except that their father made it with his own hands and carried it with him throughout the war. And when all three kids hold the ball, strange things begin to happen.

Courtesy of Teens Read Too

Here's the beginning of great new series for kids. BARNSTORMERS: The Tales of the Travelin' Nine is written by Phil Bildner and illustrated by Loren Long.

Set in 1899, BARNSTORMERS brings historic baseball to life for readers. The story centers around three siblings, Griffith, Ruby, and Graham. Still recovering from the death of their father, the three children are traveling with the colorful ball team, the Travelin' Nine. Their exhibition games are meant to earn money to pay the debts left behind after the death of their father.

Adding excitement to the story is a mysterious baseball given to the children by their father's brother, Uncle Owen. The baseball has seen better days, but its torn stitching and acorn-sized hole seem to promise miraculous things if the siblings keep it close during these trying times. Could it be the baseball that causes the crazy visions the team sees on the field as they play ball?

Bildner creates a wonderful picture of the past as he takes readers through the team's first game against Cincinnati. With historical baseball terminology explained in the margins, kids of today are treated to a magical glimpse into the history of early baseball. The lyrical text does not talk down to younger readers, but instead challenges them to read and appreciate Bildner's engaging style. Add in the mystical illustrations of Loren Long, and I can't wait to see the story continue.

Thoroughly exciting

The BARNSTORMERS Game book series for young readers - 8 THROUGH 12 - is visually very exciting. Fabulous illustrations by Loren Long. Intriguing story line which will hook the readers' minds and emotions from the beginning. Appealing family unity theme. Interesting "side margin" notes giving the definitions of the baseball language usage of the 1899 era in which the stories are set. Easy to read shorter chapters which are enchanced by the author's wonderful illustrations helping the characters to come alive for the reader. Each book in the series is called a "GAME" with a new title and number (theme) which beckons the reader to follow the mystery into the next "GAME", (next book in the series). Historical facts of the time in the local area where the games are set seem true to fact. Very nice new series for boys and girls, and their parents.

So much promise - but left me disappointed.

The opening scene of the book begins with the 3 Payne children (Griffin the oldest boy, Ruby the middle girl, and Graham the youngest boy) wrapping their hands around an old baseball and looking down on the field of players.

Publisher's Summary:

While her mother is in the hospital coping with agoraphobia, Cosy Walker copes with living in a foster home. Luckily, her foster parents are atypically (for most fiction) nurturing and kind-hearted. Jemma and Jade, two sisters also in foster care, are rougher than she is used to, but end up liking Cosy in spite of her being a "posh" speaker. One more change in her life is her new high school, where she has a scholarship and must succeed. Math will be her downfall, and she despairs. Then, one unhappy night, she sees a "ghost" girl from World War II in her room, writing in her journal. Though the two see each other, they never communicate. Nevertheless, the "ghostly" Kathleen manages to help Cosy.

Editorial Reviews:

What's more fun than driving in a car with your entire family? Listening to another family in a car! Fortunately, the boisterous Tripp Diaries include enough songs, skits, interviews, and madcap adventures to keep even the most irritating family entertained. The story centers around an Australian family whose father has the bright idea of driving his family across the country for a vacation. 13-year-old Nick Tripp narrates much of the action, which includes the paterfamilias getting into trouble when he offers to help an old friend. The sound quality is top-notch, but the recording is so full of Australian references it might best be enjoyed by those who hail from Down Under.

Title: Pinocchio

Author: Carlo Collodi

Narrator: John Sessions

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-26-00

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Pinocchio is a wooden puppet who comes to life and has the most astonishing adventure. A naughty, mischievous creature, he is full of good intentions but is greedy, and lets nothing stand in his way. His maker, poor Gepetto, loves him like a son, but Pinocchio just can't stay out of trouble.

(P)1997 NAXOS AudioBooks Ltd.; ©1997 NAXOS AudioBooks Ltd.

Editorial Reviews:

Written in 1883, this classic could have been written today since the character Pinocchio has the quality of a contemporary child. Sprightly music accompanies this delightful tale. Narrator John Sessions inhabits many of Collodi's characters, particularly Pinocchio and Geppetto. His Italian accent couldn't be better, and his timing is spot-on. Pinocchio always has the dear sound of a little kid, even when he's telling lie after lie. The sound effects that Sessions emits also enhance the story. The fire-eater's sneeze is real, the sound of Pinocchio's nose growing is believable, and the fox could lure almost anyone into believing him. Audio is the ideal way to experience Pinocchio.

Kindle edition--a good, quick read

This is a review for the free Kindle edition. The e-book version is well-formatted without any noticeable mistakes. It doesn't have any front matter (no preface or introduction) nor a table of contents, but the work is divided into chapters and as a whole is fairly short (novella-length, "1441" locations). The only annoying part is the old-fashioned one-sentence summary of each chapter that you have to learn to skip over (lest you find out what's about to happen).

The story itself is wilder and weirder than the Disney movie. It's a little more violent, a little more moralistic, but still an entertaining read. The classic components of the story that most people know are here (Geppetto, the extending nose, and even an unnamed talking cricket, who is not treated quite as gently here), but there are other characters and events that are classic in their own right (the fox and the cat, the girl with azure hair). Though the story can have a grab-bag, incohesive feel at times, the last sequence of events (beginning with the trip to the "Land of Toys") is compelling. A fun read!

The original PInocchio story -- not watered down and sugar-coated, but a delight for all ages.

Got this for a friend. She loved it. Wonderful text and illustrations. There is no comparison to the saccharine, bowdleriized Walt Dsiney version of the story. Do yourself a favor and get this version, if you can. Or, you won't know what you are missing.

Perfecto

Fabulous classic book! I bought it to read to my kids at night but loved it so much I read it myself. It is a wonderful story of the consequences of disobedience and the blessings of forgiveness and grace and second chances. It was also rigorously funny. In some parts I laughed until I cried. I would recommend this to anyone from age 5 to 95

Salvation is at hand

Wonderful parallel story of forgiveness and salvation by a loving my father to that God and humans. In many ways superior to wooden Bible stories.

It was fun to read the original Pinnochio

Read this to understand the character references in Coover's "Pinnochio in Venice". It was fun to read the original Pinnochio. Not much like the Disney version.

~~Chompy Makes New Friends...and they are not Sharks!!~~

This is such a cute selection of short stories for children ages 4 - 8. Chompy decided to be a vegetarian and his family made fun of him. He left home and luckily for him he bumped into (should say swam into a swordfish named Buzz. Buzz was so happy to be able to talk with a shark that a great friendship was formed.

The rest of the short stories feature Chompy, Buzz, Jilly the Jellyfish, Slick the seal and Flashy Starfish. I laughed at loud at some of the humor in this one. One that made me laugh was when Jilly was awarded the starring role in a play. She was to perform 'Jelly Lake". How cute is that?

On a serious note, Chompy was picked on for being a vegetarian and he does make lots of new friends that love him for being a shark. Chompy also has a wonderful quote 'sometimes the things we want most are also the scariest'.

There are also a couple of Just for Fun Activities included.

Most highly recommended.

Good story

This is a fun book. My first grader liked the story and could read most of it with a little help. I would have liked it to have some pictures and fewer words per page as a full page of words is a little daunting at this point. Might be too easy/short for more advanced readers who aren't still interested in pictures.

Good kids reading

This was a well written children's story. Who could dislike old Chompy? It must be tough to put out stories with a message in the minefield of wishy wash PC culture of today. Well done. PS- my grandkids loved the jokes in the back of the book.

Well written, my daughter loved it!

Well written, my daughter loved it! She could read along with me as we went. We have enjoyed the whole series as reading homework for kindergarten this fall.

The Wild West

A typical Rylant creation, this book gave this adult a wonderful view of the west I've still yet to visit. Henry's character takes on more dimension with this new illustrator of The Henry and Mudge series. I loved the ideas Cynthia Rylant uses to describe Mudge's adventures, especially the tumbleweed game. She has a gift for understanding boys and their pets. The Henry in my life loved this gift from me and we love reading it together.
