Customer Review: My DH is using this and other books for a science and gadget class with 10 K-2 kids. He likes this book as the experiments are easy and fast paced enough to keep the kids' attention, a real issue with this bunch.

Customer Review: The reason I didn't give this book five stars, is because I feel that if a child is old enough to read, the "math" would be too simplistic. For my four year old, it was great. I found it a clever way to introduce the concept of size and weight in an engaging story, (a bigger thing can be lighter,... more info

I've been writing down my daily food for almost a year and had gotten very tired of it--but using this journal has actually created a renewed sense of purpose for me. I absolutely adore the focus on... more info
Customer Review: I have to say, I would have given up on this book except that my daughter never lets me do that. (I was reading it to her, she's seven). I'm glad I stuck with it because the second half of the book rewards the reader with a faster-paced story and satisfyingly complex characters for a book at... more info
Customer Review: Mr. Skinny was a little book my daughter wanted read over & over again when a young girl. She is now 30, & was thrilled to have an old friend back in her life...
Customer Review: This book is horrible. The cat was an emotional eater. Fine. But then he meets a mole who tells him "Rather than eating, you should go on a diet and get yourself in shape. If you're not fat, then nobody can make fun of you, and if they don't make fun of you, you won't be miserable and if you're not... more info
