Critic Reviews:

"This fascinating material imparts wisdom to pre-latency children (5-8 years old). But it speaks to the unconscious, which is quite an achievement." (Dr. Paul Grossman, psychiatrist)

"Fantastic! So creative and what a wonderful way to educate kids about Mindfulness. I was so impressed I shared The Ice Veil Tales with several colleagues. And they all agreed!" (Danise Lehrer, L.Ac., L.C.S.W. Instructor of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy)

"The Ice Veil Tales teach children an essential truth: that you can manage your emotions and stay centered even in difficult situations. Bravo to Munter for bringing this message for kids in such a compelling and creative way!" (Cedar Koons, MSW, LISW)

Vapid and Confusing

What disappointed you about The Ice Veil Tales, Volume One?

This set of stories was supposed to somehow help children find their "inner sense", yet it created a trail of confusing characters, an empty moral lesson, and cutesy writing that sometime rhymed. "Inhale, exhale, and trust in the ice veil" was the mantra. The characters never solved their own problems; they were just magically fixed after breathing and believing in some sort of symbol. Was this a religious story? The first couple of times it happened in the story, I just assumed the author was building the mechanics of the theme. By the third time, I realized it was a vapid mantra woven in to a story that held about as much water as the ice veil. The great finale of the girl somehow pulling herself out of a hypothermia induced coma was laughable. My child's favorite part was, "chocolate. I want to eat chocolate."

What was most disappointing about Ora Munters story?

The cute character names were a distraction and the story flowed poorly. Perhaps the written/illustrated version flows better. My child kept asking me who was a character that suddenly popped in to the story.

Title: Dingo the Dragon Slayer

Subtitle: Master Zarvin's Action and Adventure Series, Book 1

Author: M. R. Mathias

Narrator: Erin Fossa

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-16-15

Publisher: Michael Robb Mathias Jr.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Everyone knows that dwarves mostly live underground. In this tale a dwarf named Dingo, who guards the opening of one of the vents that feeds them fresh air, is thrust into a high adventure when he has to leave his post to see what Master Zarvin, a fabled great wizard, has to show him.

It turns out that a dragon wants to nest in the air shaft, and it is up to Dingo to stop it. The only problem is that Master Zarvin is on the dragon's side. Will Dingo become a dragon slayer, or will he get eaten? Or will he do something else that surprises even him? To find out you'll just have to listen for yourself.

Listen to Dingo the Dragon Slayer, and let the action and adventure begin.

Note: If you're familiar with the Crimzon and Clover short stories, you will know that Master Zarvin is the kind, old wizard who took Clover in and taught her how to harness the magic she wields. These stories predate all but the first two Crimzon and Clover short stories and even feature the dragon, Royal, from the Locus Poll-nominated international best-selling young adult hit The Dragoneer Saga. These three 65-page tales are for listeners ages seven and up. But if you are knowledgeable about the Dragoneer Saga or just The Royal Dragoneers, you will want to find out this bit about Prince Richard's mighty dragon and where it came from. These stories aren't just for young adults. After all, fantasy fans are always young at heart.

DWARVES AND DRAGONS

This author has written many short stories and young adult tales about dragons and wizards. In this selection of under one hundred pages, Mathias is aiming toward a wider audience, targeting this book for ages seven and older. There are no illustrations and the text might be a stretch for seven and eight year olds, but I do think that middle grade readers who love fantasy will enjoy the book. The characters are well-developed, the reader rapidly feels their strengths and weaknesses.

Plot centers around Dingo, a dwarf who is the great grandson of Dingo, the Dragon Master who succeeded in roping a young blue dragon. Dingo is far less famous. His job is to guard the vent holes of the cave in which the dwarves of Dropull Mountains live. One day Dingo encounters a human heading toward the cave. The old man urges Dingo to abandon his post and follow him. Reluctantly agreeing to do so, Dingo discovers a dragon wants to lay her eggs in their shaft. He must warn the king.

So the adventure is set for Dingo to somehow convince the dragon to abandon her plan. How will the little dwarf succeed in that monumental task to save his people.? Who is the mysterious old man who suddenly appears to warn them.

Readers who enjoy dragons, magic, dwarves and adventure will enjoy this book. Also makes a good classroom read aloud choice as the chapters are fairly short. Reluctant readers will find the book interesting and appealing .

"The real Dingo wasn't ever late; he was always early and ready to go!'

`Reading fantasy takes us away from reality to a place where impossible things are possible and the righteous somehow find a way to win the day.' Author M.R. Mathias is an award-winning self-published Fantasy Writer.

Title: So You Want to Be President

Author: Judith St. George

Narrator: Brian Keeler

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-05-15

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Have you ever thought about being President of the United States? There are good things and bad things about the job. One good thing is you get to live in a giant house with a movie theater, swimming pool, and even a bowling alley! But on the other hand, sometimes people don't like Presidents. Once, somebody was so angry he threw a cabbage at President William Howard Taft.

Are you smart enough to be President? Thomas Jefferson was an expert on politics, law, music, geography, and more - plus he played the violin, founded the University of Virginia, and designed his own mansion. But nine Presidents never even went to college, including Abraham Lincoln. Andrew Johnson didn't even know how to write until after he was married!

Award-winning author Judith St. George's audiobook is a humorous and informative look at America's highest office. Learning about the Presidents has never been more entertaining than with Brian Keeler's lively narration.

Great for the preK classroom

My preschool class LOVES Denton and all the stories of Bubbleland. They sing along to the accompanying cd soundtrack and even pretend to be Denton and little Rachel on the playground. As a teacher, the stories are great because they help me to address the morals and values that are beginning to matter in their lives in a fun way. I definitely recommend this book to prek/elementary teachers and families as a great set of stories that are unlike any that I've come across before.

Awesome book.

Great book. My husband and I have enjoyed reading this book to our daughters. We especially love the fact that there is a moral to each story. The book even had a story that helped us during our time working with our daughter through compulsive behavior issues.

Recommend for Parents!

Our family loved these tales! The illustrations are great and the stories give you something to talk about with your kids after the reading is over. Every story teaches a moral too. We were happy to have found these!

This is HANDS-DOWN the best book my daughter and I have ever read

This is HANDS-DOWN the best book my daughter and I have ever read! She loves it! She's an advanced 5 year old and we read it every night! So great! Don't miss this for your kiddo!

Denton The Lovable Dragon!

Wonderful product. My daughter loves the book as well as the CD. Keep up the good work!

Never wanted it to end

If you could sum up The Dolphin Princess in three words, what would they be?

fantastic journey mesmerized

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dolphin Princess?

I think the the relationship with the Animates on Animia Island,

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I can listen while I drive or walk. She brought all the characters to life for me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It took me two sittings.. I wanted to finish in one.

Any additional comments?

I listened to "The Dolphin Princess" on audible.com. It was a fantastic journey, brilliantly written and voiced. I was mesmerized from the beginning to the end. I am an adult female! This is for all ages.

I sure hope that these characters have a chance to come to live in an animated film. Everyone will get to meet the Animates on Animia Island, "Spoons", a spoon who wants to spoon anyone who needs to be comforted. Or "Elyphant" the stuffed elephant, "The Domino Family" and "Sorrowful Sad Sally", a sad sweet doll. And so many more.

The Best Kindle Option Available

I took a gamble on buying this edition when no one had reviewed it yet. I tried several other Kindle editions available and had found them truly appalling in terms of formatting. This however, is significantly better, featuring well structured chapter breaks and all the original illustrations, which enhance the story a lot.

Furthermore, considering it contains both books, plus the excellent Hunting of the Snark, it is a fantastic price.

However, there are still some glaring mistakes, such as some formatting bugs in a few of the poems and spelling errors in places (such as at the start of Looking Glass, where some of the Ls are replaced with 1s - I guess a scanner did the 'writing here').

5 stars for the great price and superior formatting over the other options. -1 star for the glaring lack of proof reading from the publisher.

Good book

A classic children's book that never gets old. I bought it for my daughter and we read a chapter every night. The only issue I have is that it's a little smaller than I expected, but that's okay.

Fun and ridiculous, as intended

Playful poetry may be more amusing for adults. In any case I finally learned about the Boogum. What fun! Theres some discussion that there is a hidden message in his poem. If so, I admit to it being way over my head!

Italicized Text?!

I really wanted to like this--the original illustrations are beautifully reproduced--but bizzarely, half the books are italicized in their entirety, making them pretty much unreadable. If this were fixed, I'd give this 5 stars.

Outstanding, of course.

There is nothing for me to add to the mountains of praise already out there for this masterpiece of nonsense literature â arguably the finest sustained piece there is, with only William Gilbert and Thomas Hood to rival it.

As the Victioran languge is sometimes a little dated, readers might care to go instead for Martin Gardnerâs Annotated verion that explains everything in detail (too much detail for some tastes).

Sometimes there is danger in being too friendly; as is the case with kind-hearted Little Red Riding Hood in this loveable rendition of a Brothers Grimm classic.

Distracted by the Big Bad Wolf with a bouquet of lovely flowers, the kind-hearted little girl forgets her mother's instructions and strays from the path on the way to Grandmother's house. Little does she know, the crafty wolf has devised a wicked plan to arrive at her house first. Will Grandmother meet an unfortunate end?

Young listeners will enjoy this lively tale illuminating the importance of listening to parents.

Dressed like a debonair gentleman!

The illustrator of this book has created a wolf character that is just amazing! When the wolf is rubbing his hands in glee you just cannot help but smile :)

Little Red Riding Hood has been instructed by her mother to not go off the forest path which is safe as many people walk it and to not to talk to strangers. The wolf is scheming on how to get her off the forest path. How will he do it? With what does he try to entice her with? Does Red Riding Hood obey her mother or listen to the wolf?

I know some folks don't appreciate the "real" fairy tales as they think they are too gruesome SO be warned, the wolf eats both the grandmother and Little Red in this story. Of course it all ends well when they are saved by the hunter.

Little Red Riding Hood learns a valuable lesson and definitely one that all children need to learn. No matter how sweet talking the stranger NEVER go off with him or her!

A well-written and illustrated book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from our house to yours.

Great for storytime

My daughter says, "I like it, I like it." Beautiful illustrations -- a good message. We've read it over and over.

Classic

Very lovable book, my child really enjoyed it. I'm glad to be able to have these books available, and a bonus because it was free.

Good but doesn't have wordwise
