It was awesome

I ...I...well it was a good book. People should stop being mean to monkeys like that. My grandfather had a pet monkey once, but I didn't get to see it yet because I wasn't born yet.

"Marilyn Edwards is the Queen of Cat Stories" (Jacqueline Wilson)

Members Reviews:

A riveting read by the Queen of Cats

`Magnificat,' by best-selling author of The Cats of Moon Cottage, Marilyn Edwards, is an absolute joy to read. I was hooked from page one and suffered withdrawal symptoms when I finished the book. This is a real page-turner and I loved the flow of the story line which gripped me from the beginning.

Ben is a troubled and troublesome young boy living with his mother. He has an absentee father and to make up for the lack of a relationship with him, he desperately wants a dog. His best friends, twins, Chloe and Josh, have the ebullient and effusive `Clueless' a faithful dog that Ben loves to spend time with, but when his mother finds that he has used her credit card for a `cyber dog' on line, he gets into real trouble.

There is a strong resonance of anger, resentment, rebellion all rising to the surface in Ben's head and his relationship with his mother slowly falls apart.

Magnificat is a stray cat living on her wits and somehow, living on the mean streets, she manages to find her way to the presbytery where a kind priest, Father John-Henry, takes her in and feeds her. By a string of coincidences Chloe and Ben find themselves at the church and Magnificat sees Ben and knows that he is the boy for her.

Ben is less certain. You can't do anything with a cat, can you? But over time, Ben comes to realise that Magnificat is the cat for him. When she goes missing for several months Ben, with the help of Father John-Henry, Chloe and Josh, pull out all the stops to try and find her again.

This really is a gripping story. The reader will root for Ben and Magnificat alike and without giving away the end of the story, I will just say that I shed tears - of sadness and joy - at Marilyn's marvellous story-writing expertise.

Marilyn has encompassed her considerable knowledge of wildlife and the countryside, not to mention her vast experience with cat behaviour, to make this book one fantastic read. The reader is taken on a journey and from beginning to end, you have no idea how it will pan out.

As always, there are lessons to learn along the way. `... this dear, beautiful, beloved cat had taught Ben so much. She had taught him gallantry and tenacity and loyalty and honesty and the importance of being true to oneself. She had even taught him of the existence of angels - or magic - or maybe just how to be brave.

"What is wrong Scarlet?" Ashby asked her.

"This straw will not stay where it is supposed to stay! It is so frustrating!" Scarlet tweeted loudly.

"You sound really frustrated. Maybe you should calm down and rest a little, then try it again." Ashby said calmly. "We don't need your emotions getting out of control, now."

"Emotions?" Scarlet asked. What are emotions?

"Yes, emotions." Ashby answered and continued, "Your feeling of frustration is an emotion. Different people feel different emotions at all times. Whether it's calm and relaxed, happy, sad, angry, etc like right now you are feeling frustrated. That is called an emotion and we deal with them every day of our lives... good and bad."

"Really?" Scarlet tweeted, still having her feathers ruffled. "Tell me more about emotions Ashby."

Great book about pottery

This is one of my favorite pottery books to ready to students during art class.

Juan is a phenomenal artist and this story is so well written!

I'm also amazed at how quickly the book was delivered!

Fast service

Good story for children about ceramics and Mexican potters. Fast service.

Worth reading & sharing

Great story about Casas Grandes and Mata Ortiz pottery in Chihuahua, Mexico. Wish it was bilingual or there was a Spanish version. too.

great read x2

two stories in this book - a poem with a corresponding technical & historical description. as a potter myself (pre-kids) I am looking forward to showing them how to build pots like juan, using the book as our guide.

Clay Changed the Community

A beautiful pictorial look at pottery art in Mexico. The connection that Juan has to pottery and nature is shown in the book. I liked the afterward that gives readers more background information about Juan and the pottery making process he used. I enjoyed the illustrations that show how Juan used natural elements surrounding him to create his art.

The Red Hen

The Red Hen is a wonderful book. The illustrations are FIRST rate...colorful, creative, one of a kind! The story is as it should be. My grandchildren love this book, as well as Chicken Little by the same authors! ! As an art teacher, I love the first rate illustrations. All young children as well as their parents or grandparents will love this book!! It's a keeper!

Five Stars

Delightful twist on an old tale!

This hilariously zany tale of the Red Hen and her Simply Splendid Cake will give your little one a case of the giggles!

Red Hen found a slip of paper with a recipe called "Simply Splendid Cake." It sounded simply, simply, simply scrumptious and she thought it would be a nice treat to make for everyone. When she asked the cat, rat, and the frog if they'd like to help "gather the ingredients," their eyes grew wide and they refused. "Not I," said the cat. / "Not I," said the rat. / "Bribbit," said the frog." Well, she would just have to do it herself because Simply Splendid Cake sounded too good not to make. Sugar, milk, flour, and one birdie supervisor later and she was ready to go. Make that two birdie supervisors.

Spoon in hand, Red Hen asked who would help mix up the cake. She smiled and they frowned and gave her the same "not I" answers as before. "All right then, I shall do it myself." She picked up her spoon and her birdie supervisors watched as she mixed up her ingredients. Once the cake was all mixed up she needed someone to help her bake the cake. The cat, the rat, and the frog were simply not interested with helping with that Simply Splendid Cake. Not one bit and once again refused to help. The cake went into the oven and out, but then needed to be frosted and decorated and Red Hen asked again for help. Not I." The Simply Splendid Cake was simply splendid, but who was going to help her eat it?

This hilariously zany tale of the Red Hen and her Simply Splendid Cake will give your little one a case of the giggles. This is a silly tale with a predictably silly, splendid ending that little ones will ask you to read time and time again. Of course everyone knows that a little work goes a long way in the baking department and if you aren't willing to help, why should you be able to get to taste the end result? The colorful, daffy artwork equally meshes perfectly with the tale and is delightfully delicious. The googly-eyed characters are quite silly looking and very appealing. In the back of the book is a recipe for Red Hen's Simply Splendid Cake, a recipe that little ones can assist with and eat ... only if they are willing to help. If you want a few splendid laughs you might just want to invite the Red Hen into your kitchen!

A story time winner

The Emberley's have scored another story time classic with The Red Hen. It's vibrant, goofy illustrations make it perfect for group sharing, and the author has managed to pare down this classic piece of folklore into a spare streamlined text just the perfect length for even the youngest preschooler.

Members Reviews:

Very Creative!

Mixes rhymes (which are in and of themselves very good) with pictures one might take of the great outdoors provided it has something pertaining to "snow". I really enjoyed this and will be looking into more of her offerrings!

Pleasantly surpised to read and find real photos inside!

I enjoyed the fact that there were real photos and not just illustrations.I think the age level would probably be 2nd grade or so. I liked how the words flowed well from one subject to the next.It talks about some things like snowboarding a preschooler might not know about. I marked off a star because there seemed to be a issue with some words not matching up to the picture until the next page. Overall very well done and I would just suggest adding age guides to help out buyers( it's not easy picking out the right kids book sometimes!).

A joyful story!

The "When I Dream, I Dream of Snow" is a joyful story with many funny photos of kids and animals. Ginny Dye has captured the magic that you can feel when you are in a winter landscape! Yes, you can really do anything in the world of dreams like the author writes in the beginning of the book!

Delightful and Playful

It is a great read with a child as the pictures draw their attention. There is always a favourite picture for each child. The book stimulates thought and creativity for playing and being outside with your favourite pet dog!

beautiful pictures

First of 3 where the words line up rare toy with the right picture. The words are fairly complicated for children!
