Not as good as "The Secret Garden".

Not one of her better books. I read from beginning to end waiting for the action to start but it never did. Feels like a book that is always on the verge of launching into an extraordinary story but never does. The duke-grandfather character is hard to believe. Sociopaths don't suddenly get nicer because they are inspired by a kind person grandchild or not. The mother and little Lord Fauntleroy are described as kind but you never really get to know them as real people because real people are not perfectly flawless. I found the grandfather to be the most likeable and easy to relate to. He seems to be the most human.

Downton Abbey for the small set

LIttle Lord Fauntleroy has a bad rap because of its huge popularity in the late 19th century. Every mother apparently wanted their boy to be as selfless and precocious as the title character, so they dressed the innocent boy in the absurd outfit of the book - the velvet, lace collared affair that scarred a generation.

But that misses Burnett's point. She creates a world where a child of American sensibilities - raising all boats as his own tide increases - counters the old British guard which, at the time, was the lord had it all, the villagers had nothing.

My two favorite childhood books are A Little Princess and Secret Garden. And while Cedric is a little too perfect, the message and the characterization of sudden wealth leading to actual kindness is refreshing.

a wonderful printing of a delightful story

first, allow me to say that i am quite enjoying these puffin classics editions of some of my favorite novels!

this is the story of little cedric errol, having recently lost his british-born father, being plucked from his american life to fufill his duty as the future earl of dorincourt. he is summoned by his crusty grandfather, the current earl of dorincourt, who is disliked far and wide for his tyrannnical behavior. cedric soon becomes little lord fauntleroy, and he and his mother ('dearest') are taken across the atlantic to england.

the story is filled with changes, difficult situations, and the redemption of those most in need of it. cedric errol is a unique little boy, and the power of his positivity is infectious.

a bonus here with the puffin classics is the addition of backstory included at the end of the book. here you can learn more about the author, the stories, the characters, and so much more. what a delightful thing to include!

i have purchased most of these puffin classics editions, and will certainly look for future additions to add to my collection.

A Charmingly Told Tale

Major cultural icons of the last generation included references to Pollyanna and to Little Lord Fauntleroy. It turns out both come from books written long ago. While the cultural references are kind of saccharine, both of them originated from books which are well written and interesting. Yeah, they're a bit saccharine, but not so you'd want to vomit.

Title: The Featherhood

Subtitle: "What Happened to the Most Valuable Bird in the World?"

Author: Jim Jenner

Narrator: Jim H. Jenner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-24-17

Publisher: PACCom, Inc.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

A billionaire's bird is missing and no one's claimed the huge reward. The greatest racing pigeon in history, worth over half a million dollars, vanished into thin air. If he's alive out there, his captors aren't talking.

From the hidden but high-stakes world of pigeon racing comes the inside story of what really happened to "The Black Deuce", Belgium's legendary winner of Europe's greatest race, Barcelona. In the 1990s, flying faster than 47,000 pedigreed homing pigeons, he won this 600+ mile event twice, a feat never before equaled. Adding tenfold to his value, his proven ability to sire champions.

Then, tragedy. Imported to California, he was frightened from his new home. More than 5,000 miles from Belgium, returning there was suicide. But he tried, only to be ripped from the sky by a pair of deadly falcons. Lost, alone and only minutes from death, fate brought a young boy in Tacoma, Washington into his life.

Jim Jenner's fascinating and heartwarming story reveals how "The Black Deuce", a bird worth 20 times his weight in gold, fell into the lives of inner-city children with no idea of his value. But, more than money, his true worth lay in the transformative effect pigeons often have on their human keepers. This ancient, and life-changing transformation forms a bond they call The Featherhood.

Title: Seven and a Half Tons of Steel

Author: Janet Nolan

Narrator: Christina Moore

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-22-16

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

This powerful story reveals how something remarkable can emerge from a devastating event.

Following the events of September 11, 2001, the governor of New York gave the navy a steel beam that was once inside one of the World Trade Towers. Seven and a Half Tons of Steel tells the story of what the navy did with it.

There is a ship, a navy ship. It is called the USS New York. It is big, like other navy ships, and it sails like other navy ships, but there is something special about the USS New York. Following the events of September 11, 2001, the governor of New York gave the navy a steel beam that was once inside one of the World Trade Towers. The beam was driven from New York to a foundry in Louisiana. Metal workers heated the beam to a high, high temperature. Chippers and grinders, painters and polishers worked on the beam for months. And then seven and a half tons of steel, which had once been a beam in the World Trade Center, became a navy ship's bow. This powerful story reveals how something remarkable can emerge from a devastating event.

A book that all who love history and want to explain one of our saddest days to our children should own.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book to my kids. It is so well written and illustrated. The thing that is amazing is that it beautifully describes in words and images one of our saddest days as a nation and finds a way to find something positive in the destruction of property and more importantly our sense before 9/11 that we were invincible. It is something that all libraries should own. It is a book that anyone who wants to help a child understand a part of our history should purchase and keep. I strongly recommend this book and give it my highest rating.

Truly wonderful book. I found this book over the summer ...

Truly wonderful book. I found this book over the summer in our public library. Not only is the story inspirational but the illustrations make this book. I purchased this book and donated it to my grandsons' school library. The librarian read the book to all the classes on September 11th.

Moving Historical Book and Beautifully illustrated

Great book for youngsters! Janet lays out this moving history in nicely detailed and very easy to follow and understand. The Art Work is absolutely beautiful and brings this great book to life. Tom's art work is amazing is done the old fashion way without computers. Each page is a painting/illustration done by hand, He has illustrated other books sold here on Amazon, look for more of his illustrated books.

A wonderful book for young people.

This a wonderful book well written, with great illustrations. A terrific way to teach 1st and 2nd graders and later students some recent USA history. Well done, Janet Gould, you're an outstanding storyteller.

Five Stars

Title: Lord Hanuman and Me

Author: Prachi Garg

Narrator: Nigel Barks Field

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-25-16

Publisher: Prachi Garg

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

This story is a gem representing the delightful stories from the Indian subcontinent which capture the simple essence of everyday life in rural/urban India. The simple pleasures of life indicate a time gone by before the advent of cellphones and Facebook, a time which almost stood still, a time where children could revel in the rain, make paper boats and race them down a drain, play marbles and generally pass time.

The once idyllic life almost seems too slow and bear and hence is fascinating to watch unfurl as we listen to the story.

For any Minecraft fan to enjoy

Review from Alex E.: one Zillion Stars!!!! MC Steve is the best!! From Alex's mom: we have enjoyed the two Alex books and are spending our summer reading more MC Steve books. The part my sons love the most is when they play the game- many elements are exactly as written in the book. For example, in the book Alex comes across an igloo and finds villagers and amazing potion goodies hidden under the igloo- when my sons played the game and found an igloo- they found the same thing under the igloo! Nothing could be more exciting for them:) well written books that keeps my kids reading! Doesn't get much better!!

Diary of Alex

I think this book deserves a 5 star rating.

And I recommend it to I don't care who just everybody.

Five Stars

This is a world of snow and igloos and gardens and flowers, where pumpkins grow and ripen in days, chicks emerge from eggs and likewise grow up almost overnight. Suspend all reality and just enter and enjoy.

Great story....

Narrator took too big of a pause in between each sentence and over enunciated which made it hard to focus on the story as it was being read.
