Great Christmas story about homemade gifts

Loved this book as a kid, and now my 7 and 4 year olds love it too. My favorite line is "Norman, your cookie fell on the floor." "How do you know it's my cookie?" "Mine is still on the plate." That cracks me up!

wonderful books

Lilian Hoban is a wonderful kids writer. We own every one of her Arthur books and they are worth reading over and over. These are very easy to read books for most kids age 5 and up. We started out reading them at age 4 and moved up year after year through each book. Very interesting stories with a lesson to learn in each book. Just love Arthur books.

Arthur makes the best of a mistake!

This is a great book to demonstrate to early readers a way to make the best of an unexpected set-back. When Arthur's mistake makes his cookies inedible, he makes them into ornaments! Creative! Optimistic! A fabulous example for turning lemons into lemonade!

Five Stars

Great price!

We love Arthur and his sister Violet

My child loves Arthur and his sister Violet. This book and others in the series are nice short stories about a brother and sister and a small adventure. In this book Arthur goes camping by himself because he doesn't want to go camping with his sister Violet and her friends. He has a misadventure but everything is well in the end.

Length: 1 hr and 8 mins

Language: English

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Dinosaurs had small brains, but they used them well, and when they saw the big lump of space rock coming, they escaped in huge, dung-powered spaceships before it hit. They went on evolving, and now both plant-eaters and meat-eaters have built massive empires way out in space in the Jurassic Quadrant. But the carnivores are never happy unless they're causing trouble. That's why the Dinosaur Space Service needs heroic herbivores to defend the Vegetarian Sector.

Perfect for a 7yr old boy!

I discovered this book series while in the UK and brought them home for my 7yr old boy who immediately became addicted. The wonderful characters, the fast pace of the narrative, and the humour is absolutely spot on for the intended audience. And from a parent's perspective, the story line is nicely paced to make it well suited for a-few-chapters-at-bedtime style of reading, the story length is perfect for the child that is far too old for picture books but is not yet ready for the much longer stories aimed at the pre-teen audience, and the author's humour works for adults as well as kids. This book (and series) is perfect for all the dinosaur-mad small boys out there! My son can't wait for the other books in the series to be released as audio books!

Excellent book

Well narrated. Hope the sequels are added to audible

Members Reviews:

worth a listen

I have the Nurse Matilda stories in hard copy but I find the audios easy for long journeys in the car. My children loved the first one and this one they think just as great. They are looking forward to the third.

The narrator reads so well you are instantly engaged in the story. She's very expressive with her character impersonations and quite funny with the different accents from the characters.

The story content is brilliant and just what children of any age over 5 would relate to and comprehend (not to mention their parents). Not too old fashioned at all, seeing as this is one of three stories that have inspired the Nanny McPhee movies. If your children loved the movies, then they will thoroughly enjoy listening to the originals.

Publisher's Summary:

Stuart's got problems...It's raining. He's bored.

And worst of all, he's new in town, so he's got a lot to worry about. But what does a kid like Stuart need in order to have an adventure? A cape, of course.

©2002 Sara Pennypacker; (P)2005 Blackstone Audiobooks

Critic Reviews:

"The story is hilariously descriptive....Its engaging flow makes for a great read-aloud." (School Library Journal)

"This entertaining book gets at the truth of children's feelings and is a good choice for reading aloud to a slightly younger crew." (Booklist)

"Readers who like Captain Underpants have a new choice, one that will make them howl and won't make their parents squirm." (Kirkus Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Imaginative

I have really enjoyed Sara Pennypacker's works in the Clementine series. I think a different narrator would make this book pop. It isn't bad in the narration, it just isn't kid like. I think Jessica Almasy would have made this book more enjoyable because her voice made the childish antics of Clementine jump out. This narrator sounds too adult.

Peter Pan

Obviously Peter Pan is a wonderful wonderful wonderful magical story for all ages and would normally get five stars. However, the audio edition wasn't as good as we'd hoped. I never warmed to the narrator and neither did my kids.

Title: How Tiger Got His Stripes

Subtitle: A Folktale from Vietnam

Author: Rob Cleveland

Narrator: Rob Cleveland

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-10-08

Publisher: August House

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Illustrated by Baird Hoffmire.

Editorial Reviews:

Before Tiger had his stripes, he was afraid of the big, strong, horned Water Buffalo. It is certainly understandable, then, that the sight of Water Buffalo chained to a plow and doing Mans labor should confuse poor Tiger.

Master storyteller and Shakespearean actor Rob Cleveland won a World Storytelling Honor Award for Young Listeners for this audiobook version of the short Vietnamese folk tale, How Tiger Got His Stripes. Listeners are sure to enjoy Clevelands fun voices and easy pacing as they hear of Tigers quest for the wisdom of Man.

Members Reviews:

Great book (and story) for kids of all nationalities!

Great book for kids! I got this, along wuth several others, for my friend's daughter (she just turned 6) who was adopted from Vietnam. My friend and her daughter traveled back there to visit her place of birth, and the feedback I got was that this book was very helpful (especially on the flights) in helping her learn more about the language, customs, foods, and culture of Vietnam. This one was particularly fun for her in learning one of the folktales!

Good little story

a fun version of how a tiger gets his stripes. Grandkids 4 and 7 were interested and liked it.

Five Stars

Used for a summer camp and the children loved it.

Ah, Wisdom

Great folk story from Vietnam about a tiger searching for wisdom and getting out-witted by "man." The moral of the story is good for the age recommendations (4-8) and it was an easy book to follow for my preschooler who loves to read! The graphics were one of the better ones in the Story Cove series too. Its nice to see folktales from other parts of the world available.

Pretty good book

Nice book written in American style English. Easy to follow and nice cartoon style pictures. It is a nice little story based on a traditional tale, but it has been adapted to modern tastes using modern cartoon styling and modern American English.

Members Reviews:

Son's first read-aloud chapter book.

My son is eight and in second grade, he's struggled with learning to read - but this was his FIRST "mostly words" chapter book! He read it out loud, chapter by chapter. The book was well paced, with a couple of mysteries. My son also goes to a dual-immersion english/spanish school, and although this book only had a handful of Spanish words, it helped reinforce the language and cultural learning he has been doing in class. I love that the character lives in the city.

Third graders liked it

My 3rd grade students liked this well enough. I didn't find it particularly engaging, particularly since there are other books at the same level that have more intriguing plots. On the upside, my students want to read other books in the series.

Cool!

Your story is fantastic! We wish we had shoes like Freddie. He's a wonderful character and we look forward to reading book 2.

- Ms. Quinn's Third Grade Tuesday Class.

Five Stars

This was new to me and I love the message.

I'm so glad I discovered these books for my reluctant readers!

The boys in my class love "Freddie"! The books are fast paced, with a main character who is humble and just like them. He lives in an apartment with his mom, has friends around the neighborhood, then he gets his superpower- Zapato Power!

Title: Wishhobbler

Author: Francis O'Dowd

Narrator: Lizzie Hopley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-16-14

Publisher: What Noise Productions

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Abandoned by her mother at an early age, 10-year-old Spin has been adopted by Sir Fistache mal Arthreign. The knight's habit of collecting waifs and strays has thrown together a family of rowdy headbangers.

Expelled from countless towns and villages, they hope to make a fresh start in the Songwynd slums - but the decision to bring along their pet wishhobbler wrecks any chance of this.

From now on, Spin's days begin with a headlong flight into horsemuck, followed by encounters with: breakfast-thieving rats; vicious, swooping blankets; thugs, bullies, and mathematically-gifted infants; vanishing televisions; jam jars; pickled snouts; collapsing shelves; a bizarre illness; falls from great heights; a would-be piano teacher; dawn raids; a haunted stomach; two slightly distorted violins; a new addition to the family; tea that glows in the dark; a hypnotised Labrador; the Viking, the Polar Bear, the Walrus, the Snapjazzer Cake, and the Bathtub Racer; an astounding revelation; and the resolution of a centuries-old confrontation.

An outsider wherever she goes, Spin longs for something to be a part of. Forced into work to feed and clothe her adoptive family, she finds a way of using her new job to enter the carefully guarded world of the Television Racers.

Not the first mistake she's ever made - but it could well be the last.

Publisher: New Internet Technologies

Publisher's Summary:

Once there was a woman who had both a daughter of her own, whom she loved, and a step-daughter, whom she hated. One day, the woman ordered her husband to take her stepdaughter out into the winter fields and leave her there to die, and he obeys. Morozko finds her there; she is polite and kind to him, so he gives her a chest full of beautiful things and fine garments. After a while, her stepmother sends her father to bring back the girl's body to be buried, which he also obeys. After a while, the family dog says that the girl is coming back, and that she is beautiful and happy.

When the stepmother sees what her stepdaughter has brought back, she orders her husband to take her own daughter out into the fields. Unlike before, this child is rude to Morozko, and he freezes her to death. When her husband goes out to bring her back, the dog says that she will be buried. When the father brings back the body, the old woman weeps.
