Title: Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa

Subtitle: Partners

Author: Erica Silverman

Narrator: Elizabeth Morton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-23-08

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

When Kate decides it's time for Cocoa to get new horseshoes, her favorite horse has other ideas. And Kate might have to get sneaky to convince Cocoa to get new footwear. Then, while riding the range counting the cows, they notice a calf is missing. Perhaps he's playing hide and seek, which is just what Cocoa wants to do anyway! Kate also practices her roping skills - on Cocoa. Finally, the two even go swimming. But Kate isn't quite ready to make the giant leap into the farm's pond.

This charming follow-up to the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa is a hit with kids, parents, and critics. Partners offers children valuable lessons about friendship.

Critic Reviews:

"This is a pleasing choice as either a beginning reader or a picture book to read aloud." (Booklist)

Great series! Read them all!

We first discovered the Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa series through my children's Scholastic Book Club catalogs brought home from school. What a find! We already know Betsy Lewin well as an illustrator of the great "Click, Clack Moo" series with Doreen Cronin so we were definitely not disappointed there. She really captures the feelings of Cocoa the Horse and gives the book a spark of life with her choice of colors and subtle touches to show movement and emotion. Erica Silverman has won our hearts with this interesting, funny and heart-touching story of Cowgirl Kate and her best friend, Cocoa the Horse. Cocoa gets jealous as Kate starts going to school and even "dares" to bring a new friend home for a play date! The nerve! Well really, Cocoa is just sad as he's afraid he will lose Kate when she starts to get out into the world on her own. But Kate quickly works to reaffirm their strong friendship and help Cocoa know that they will always be best friends, no matter what! Sweet story and lots of good things to use to talk about with your own kids. We look forward to more collaborations between Silverman and Lewin!

Fun books with lessons for us all

My grand daughter has moved on from princesses to cowgirls (thank God!) and she loves these books. She's five and an early reader so she can read them herself with some help. The illustrations are simple but work with these stories. Fun books with lessons for us all.

Five Stars

Daughter now adores these Cowgirl Kate stories. We Will be collecting them all

Great books for little Cowgirls!

The sweetest little girls book series! My daughter, my husband, myself and Nana all love them! My daughter is four years old and they will be great for years! These books usually have 3 or 4 chapters and each chapter is only a couple of pages, and each page only a few sentences. Great pictures too! I buy them for all my friends kids for birthdays and Christmas. They make a nice gift and this way I can get them the whole series over time:)

Title: The Lump of Coal

Author: Lemony Snicket

Narrator: Neil Patrick Harris

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-09-08

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 146 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Is there a more charming holiday tale to behold? Probably, but Lemony Snicket has not written one.

Members Reviews:

So Cute!

This is such a cute story! Worth all 146 pennies I paid for it.

Cute Story

Something the whole family will enjoy.

When will we have the Latke Who Couldn't Stop. . .

What did you love best about The Lump of Coal?

The final message of this story is thoughtful, warm and wonderful. The story is witty. The protagonist is singular (amongst holiday stories, perhaps not in the grill.) Many holiday stories -- even ancient ones -- are about miracles. However, many new holiday stories are redundant. This one is not. And Neil Patrick Harris provides an excellent reading! His tone is very well suited to Snicket's prose.

What other book might you compare The Lump of Coal to and why?

Like the protagonist, the story is rather singular. It is about the holidays, but, as many of the best stories are about more than their settings and plots, this story is about something more than Christmas and a lump of coal.

Have you listened to any of Neil Patrick Harriss other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not, but this one inclines me to seek him out.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I grow more fond of it every time we listen to it. Which, between Thanksgiving and Twelfth Day, is often.

Any additional comments?

When will we have the Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming? I am baffled that this is not yet available as an audio book. It is very well suited to performance. Really, what's the hold-up? Is this another example of the latke being overshadowed by a christmas icon? And an obscure one at that. A lump of coal. The indignity.

The delightfulness of The Lump of Coal makes me more anxious to hear the Latke brought to audible life.

It's a MIRACLE!

I listen to this story at least once a year. It makes you remember what's most important in the world and to look for tiny miracles. I have also purchased this audiobook for most of my family and close friends. Share it with those you love.

The Story about ordinary miracles

From now it's one of my favourite Christmas stories.

Great opportunity to show children that meaning of miracle can be ordinary and we can find it in our lives everyday.

Members Reviews:

Classic story/w horrible narration & dramatization

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narrator and the corny sounding dramatization

What did you like best about this story?

I like the O. Henry story itself.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her accent was not a pleasant one. Nor was her tone of voice. Then, whenever someone spoke, there was an insertion of a male voice with the vibrato turned up. Very distracting and corny.

Did The Other Wise Man inspire you to do anything?

I love the story but I didn't finish this audio version because of the narration.

excellent story

love this book such a wonderful story very inspiring an excellent book for all ages

Title: Who's in Rabbit's House?

Author: Verna Aardema

Narrator: Jackie Torrence

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-18-08

Publisher: Weston Woods Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

In this humorous Masai tale, Rabbit can't get into her house because "The Long One", hiding inside, threatens to trample her just as he tramples elephants. A solution comes from an unexpected source.

©1977 Verna Aardema; (P)1982 Weston Woods

Editorial Reviews:

Among the most celebrated, acclaimed, and recognizable voices of the 20th century, James Earl Jones performs this vibrant folk legend from Kenyas Maasai people. A rabbits house is invaded by a vicious monster, who wont let anyone inside. A jackal, leopard, elephant, and rhino all try to rid rabbits house of this unwelcome visitor. In the end, a crafty frog, small and unassuming, succeeds where his larger animal friends could not.

Performing this brain over brawn bush tale, Jones brims with bemused bewilderment and curious intrigue, lending a unique voice to each of the puzzled animals as they ponder the solution to their unusual predicament. Jones versatile voice lends effortless authenticity to this Maasai myth, his silken baritone sundering atop a backbeat of African drums.

Members Reviews:

Totally fun picture book for this adult!

I love this book. I recommend it often, give as a present too. And not just for kids. This was a repurchase because I loaned out a copy and then found whoever had it hadn't returned it. So get this for yourself. Look at the lions in the background and how they grow as a curious audience to the wonderful story in the foreground. Delightful!

A tale to make you smile and to make you think.

This was one of my children's favorite books growing up because it is so much fun for me to read with all the sounds and characters. Now they have to have a copy for their children and Mayo continues to read all the wonderful sounds. The pictures are fabulous. The retelling of this traditional story couldn't have more rhythm and flow. After the story and the smiles, it is time to think about how little creatures can cause quite a stir in a community.

Carrying on tradition.

The book was in good condition, and served its purpose well. I loved the expedience on how quickly it arrived. My children loved when "daddy" read them this story at bed time, and now my grandchild can share the same experience when grand-dad reads it to her.

Should delight a wee one

An amusing tale with a varied cast of 'animals' is masterfully sketched - movement is depicted wondrously. This is a winning effort.

Great book for siblings

This book was a hit with my 6 yo son and 8 yo daughter. They could identify the with ups and downs of sibling relationships. Judy Blume strikes just the right balance between realism and possibility. The children have fears and overcome them, and the adults have just the right level of imperfection. Highly, highly recommend this book.

Amy and Clarissa love to tell stories about Old Witch, until one day they decide she is just too mean and wicked.

For company, they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby.
