Members Reviews:

TERRIBLE print quality for a great story.

This review is about the quality of this printed copy - not the Tale of Peter Rabbit. This was an absolutely terrible quality print job. It was more like a pamphlet than a book. I could have printed a better copy from my cheap deskjet printer at home. See attached images. First, the print is not centered on any page - the text and images are almost falling off the bottom. Second, the quality of images is absolutely terrible - it looks like 50 dpi or worse and is extremely fuzzy. Third, the pages are glued in AND they are crooked (see image). Finally, because the pages are glued together you can't open any of the pages completely and the "pamphlet" will not lay flat.

Good for adults and older children

Absolutely adorable! I had this exact coloring book when I was a child and had to have it again! This coloring book is perfect for adults and older children, as some of the pages are more detailed. It is also a story book, with the story printed on the bottom of each page. With a good price like this, it's worth it!

The illustrations are of course beautiful; but the abridgement of the story in this ...

The illustrations are of course beautiful; but the abridgement of the story in this book is rough and doesn't flow well; it loses a lot of the literary charm from the original.

My Daughter Enjoys It

Of course, this is a classic story, so reviewing it seems a bit presumptuous to me. I'll just share my (almost) three-year-old daughter's reaction. We have this one and several other Beatrix Potter mini-books. Her favorite Beatrix Potter book is Mrs. Tittlemouse, but she enjoys Peter Rabbit too. She likes these little books because they are easy for her to hold. The books and illustrations are lovely, and I've ordered the entire set for her for her birthday. I enjoyed them as a child and a friend of mine pointed out that Beatrix Potter's books have a more extensive vocabulary than what you find in many children's books today. We both see this as a good thing as we like to set a high bar for our kids and believe they will rise to it. I definitely recommend Peter Rabbit and the entire Beatrix Potter series. My daughter enjoyed hearing these stories beginning at age two and I enjoy reading them myself, so I think they have a wide appeal and are suitable for many ages.

DO NOT BUY!!!

Amazon should be a shamed in selling this book! It's not the story that is bad it's this book... The story is cut short, there are grammatical errors in the book, the font is faded and uneven on the pages, and the pictures were not clear at all! This was given to my son in his Easter basket and I wish I reviewed it before I put it in his basket to return it but it's passed the return date. I wouldn't even want this version of the book if it was free!!! Do your research and find the original version of the book!!!

Language: English

Release date: 06-12-09

Publisher: Full Cast Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

Filled with great canine characters, this novel is both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching.

Editorial Reviews:

K-10 is a stray dog currently serving time in an animal shelter. Named K-10 by his mother, who believes him to be a step above other canines (or K-9), this snarky mutt is voiced by narrator William Dufris with the cocky attitude of a hero in an adventure film. The truth is, K-10 is ready to settle down, but his distrust of humans makes it difficult to find a good home. When K-10 busts out of the shelter with his friends Pearl and Peppy, the three embark on a series of misadventures that 2010 Audies finalist and one of AudioFile magazine's Best Voices in 2008 and 2009 Dufris spins with verve and excitement. Listeners will definitely want to join in the fun.

Members Reviews:

My 7 year old enjoyed this one over and over.

What did you love best about A Dog on His Own?

A great adventure with plenty of lessons learned along the way. My son and I both enjoyed it and then he listened to it several more times.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 16 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

"The King of the Golden River" is the magical story of a boy named Gluck, his evil brothers, and a dangerous quest to find treasure lurking in the Golden River. It is a classic tale and the only fairy tale the famous English author and critic ever wrote. It could also be classified as a fable or parable since it it explains "how things came to be".

(P)2009 Jimcin Recordings

Editorial Reviews:

Treasure Valley is a beautiful region in the mountains of Styria, but with the greedy Black Brothers in charge, the valley doesn't remain fertile for long. In The King of the Golden River, the long-running selfishness of the Black Brothers finally catches up with them, and their valley is transformed into a dry plane of red sand. Veteran narrators John Chatty and Walter Zimmerman give an engaging performance, stirring to life the evil Black Brothers, the Southwest Wind, the King, and the well-intentioned younger Black Brother, Gluck. Listen along, as the poor, young Gluck must do right and amend the damages his older brothers have wrought.

Publisher's Summary:

David is determined to clear his name and prove to Mr. Quinn that he's worth taking a chance on. Can he reach his goal?

Members Reviews:

Responsibility

Learning responsibility can be hard and frustrating. David wanted to take shortcuts when doing his after school chores and odd jobs. These shortcuts almost cost him what he wanted to do most. However the adults in this story were quick to see the wrong being done instead of listening and reasoning with the young. Eventually the adults listened with their heart and saw the good with their eyes. God wants us to look for the good and with a loving heart we can change the wrong.

Wonderful reading for my 9 year old grand daughter!

My grand daughter loved it. She wants the entire series !! I gave her three of the books and I will add to her library as time goes on for birthdays, holidays, just for fun!

Highly recommend

My daughter loves this series. I highly recommend it for any animal lover reading at 3-5th grade level.

The book came quickly and in perfect condition.

Thank you.

Five Stars

Ten yr old granddaughter loved it. She wants to become a vet.

Great book for young readers

This whole series is awesome, esp for those who love animals. They are also great to read to younger ones--they are interesting even for Mom or Dad who are reading it out loud.

Perfect for 6-8 year old girls

I bought this book for my 7 year old daughter to read and she finished all but the last chapter in one sitting! It is sometimes very difficult to find a series that she enjoys enough to read of her own accord, and this one has definitely been her favourite so far.This is her 3rd Gooney Bird book, and she will get her fourth one in her Christmas stocking, which I know she will be thrilled to receive. We first discovered Lois Lowry's funny and engaging books about a quirky and very likeable 2nd grade little girl, unusually named Gooney Bird, when I bought one on a Kindle daily deal, and now I wish the author had written more!

When I asked my daughter if she used the Kindle dictionary to look up any words that she didn't know, she told me that she didn't need to, because all of the hard words' definitions were explained to Gooney Bird's class as part of the story! Hopefully the book will have the added benefit of increasing her vocabulary!

Goonie Bird inspires creative writing!

These are the best stories to spark ideas. My students get ideas from listening to these stories via Audible while we read the book on the projector via Kindle cloud reader. These great stories inspire my students to write and create adventures of their own. The writing is delicious and fun and illustrations help the reader, but they don't over power the narrative in any way like some of the elementary books do. We LOVE the narrator Lee Adams, she is wonderful, and helps to make these characters come alive even more.

Five Stars

Just the book I needed.

So-so

Not as great as Gooney Bird Greene, Gooney Bird the Absurd or Gooney Bird the Fabulous. Those others had great wit, lessons on writing stories, fables, and poetry. This one had a weak plot, and some unsavory remarks about stinky socks, unlike in the other books where the children were always supportive of one another.

Heartwarming Story and Teaching Aid as Well

For those of you with daughters looking for books with strong, memorable female characters, Gooney Bird Greene is a must read series. We borrowed this book from the library initially, and enjoyed it so much we bought a copy for my daughter's 3rd grade class, along with 8 dictionaries for the third graders to use. Not only is it an enjoyable story for the first- to third-grade age range, it also motivates them to learn how to use a dictionary.
