5 | The illustrations are amazing! | I really loved reading this book and sharing it with my children. The illustrations are big and colourful and have splat the cat finding himself in a variety of different situations that made us all laugh. The story is very cute and easy enough for kids to understand even at a young age. I thought the ending was sweet ... | [] | 006083160X | 006083160X | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,366,651,905,000 | 1 | false |
5 | Ten Fun Turkeys! | This book is excellent as a counting aid for little ones. The turkeys are silly and colourful and my children had no trouble paying attention to the story. The counting theme is good and has a bit of a rhyme that makes it easy for kids to learn how to count backward from ten to zero. The repeated theme in the book of u... | [] | 0439459486 | 0439459486 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,366,651,426,000 | 0 | false |
5 | Love this book | My kids really enjoyed this book. The illustrations are great and the story is fun and has a random element that they thought was exciting. The cat is a cute main character and the story is really well written. This has become a favourite bedtime story for my children and one that they are happy to read over and over a... | [] | 0060283246 | 0060283246 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,366,651,221,000 | 0 | false |
5 | Read this book! | In the beginning, before I started reading this book, I was uncertain. Novels about drug use and so forth have never been my first choice for reading material. My opinion of this book after reading it is entirely different.<br /><br />This author is witty, intelligent and rather crafty. He manages to bring up real issu... | [] | 146694028X | 146694028X | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,366,557,084,000 | 0 | false |
4 | Enchanting! | Every once in a while I get lucky enough to pick up a book that more or less puts the critic in me to the side and just allows me to enjoy reading. Kate Policani has done this in "Don't Judge a Book by Its Magic." This is an enjoyable story filled with magic, mystery and romance.<br /><br />I'm not certain if this is i... | [] | 1477675108 | 1477675108 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,366,304,888,000 | 0 | false |
3 | Touchy subject matter | I feel really divided over this book. The writing was beautiful. The author clearly has a way with words that can easily overwhelm the reader with emotion. I think her style is unique and from a literary standpoint, absolutely amazing. On the other hand, this is a sad book, where there will never be much triumph in the... | [] | 1250012856 | 1250012856 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,366,145,208,000 | 1 | false |
5 | Delicious and so much fun! | Absolutely this has to rank within my top 3 favorite children's books of the last year. What is there not to love about this book?<br /><br />The first thing I loved about this (hardcover edition) is that it is a beautifully made book. The binding ins excellent and the pages are smooth, with bright, colourful illustrat... | [] | 1770493964 | 1770493964 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,365,918,744,000 | 1 | false |
4 | Charming | "The Super Spies and the Cat Lady Killer" by Lisa Orchard is a fun, intriguing mystery for lovers of YA mystery and suspense.

5 | Wow doesn't even cover it | "The Eighth Circle of Hell" by Gary Dolman is in my opinion, what reading is all about. If only we could vote to induct a book into the hall of classic literature. This is the kind of book that is NOT a feel good, make-you-smile kind of read, but rather a beautifully written, poignant piece of literature that will take... | [] | 0857289233 | 0857289233 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,365,533,272,000 | 0 | false |
4 | Fun | Lora Jones has not grown up as one of the privileged members of society. To make matters worse, she is also different. Hearing sounds, seeing things; she does not fit in.

5 | Even better than the first | I read the first book in this series, so I was very excited to read this one. It never let me down for a second. I LOVE when an author can not only bring back the life of the first book in a series through the second, but can even improve the second work to where you are even happier with it than the first.

4 | Touching | I didn't start out enjoying this book. In the beginning,especially during the first chapter, I had a hard time paying attention to what was happening in the story.

4 | Elegant and emotional | This is an altogether beautifully written and well crafted story that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it.

5 | Finally! Fantasy worth reading! | Okay--someone has to be telling untruths here...there is no way that this is a debut novel.

5 | Incredible thrill ride! | It isn't very often that I begin a review this way, but I have to do it this time: You gotta read this book! I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this up.

4 | Different and refreshing | When you begin reading this novel, you are immediately taken to another place. J.S. Riddle's new vampire series is not what I expected, and this is a good thing.

4 | Complex and well written | Bristol House is the first of Beverly Swerling's novels that I have read. I think I might be hooked.

5 | Impressive book for younger readers | This book is so cute and well illustrated I hated to see it end.

4 | Sorrow and joy in one book | You can't read this book and not feel something for Marina.

3 | intriguing | The historical aspect of this book was fabulous. The author clearly did a lot of research into the time period the book is set in and the overall subject matter of the story.

4 | This book has depth | From an accomplishment standpoint, I would put this book up there with some of the classics.

4 | Different than earlier novels, but good | You can always count on Debbie Macomber to provide her readers with a reason to love her, and this book was no exception.

4 | Intense Mystery | Frozen Shroud is one of those novels that plays with your mind.

4 | Beautiful Story great illustrations | "In the Tree House" by Andrew Larsen is a book that I think children will be able to relate to.

5 | Absolutely Perfect | This is a genius children's story. The main character is an adorable and loveable critter that is a perfect character to lead the way in this book.

3 | Interesting, but could have used more depth | While I do feel for David Milgaard and the wrong that was done to him at such an early age, I felt this book left a lot out of that story and wish it would have explored more fully what happened to him after his release and his return to a life altered by the events described in this book.<br /><br />For the most part ... | [] | 1459401697 | 1459401697 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,364,848,658,000 | 0 | false |
4 | A touching and pleasant read | Summers in Supino by Maria Coletta McLean is the kind of narrative that you can't help but love.

5 | This book brings you joy! | This book is incredible! If you want to read a book that will just make you feel really good, may I suggest "Clover and the Twins" By Nicoletta Barrie.

4 | A story that mirrors reality | You know right off the bat in this book that something very interesting is about to happen to the main character.

5 | Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! | Looking at the cover of this book, I wasn't really sure what I was going to find inside.

4 | Unexpectedly good for such a short book | It took me a little while to decide how I felt about this book.

4 | A WIld Adventure | This book was pretty incredible. I have always had a fascination with this historical boy in general, and reading Mary Losure's book just reinforced why.

5 | Excellent romance | At first, I wasn't sure what to think of this book. It started out fun and I enjoyed it immediately, but the formula well-known to the romance genre of hunky men with pretty women wasn't the way the story was going at all, which made me wonder what the author was thinking.

4 | Exceptional | To be honest, this book didn't grab me from the first page, or even the first chapter.

5 | The best children's book in a long time | This is a beautifully written children's story that also teaches a valuable lesson.

4 | Intense | Mike Robinson's "The Prince of Earth" really surprised and in many ways delighted me.
