Hoo Hoo Who? REVIEW

It's time for Mouse's Surprise Party, but Owl's glasses are broken. It's a good thing you came along! Can you use the clues to help Owl figure out which guest is at the door? Hoo hoo who could it be?

In this catchy and interactive book, children are encouraged to take part in the story and use expressive language to respond to Owl's WHO questions. With engaging opportunities on every page, children will be excited to read this story again and again. Who doesn't love to yell “Surprise!" and sing “Happy Birthday"?

The bold and distinctive illustrations are refreshing for parents, and particularly enthralling for children who will be naturally drawn to the curvy and circular shapes.

Our granddaughters Abby - 3 and Olivia - 6 enjoyed this book very much. The especially liked calling out who was on the next page after hearing the description.

We like to keep lots of books in our den, always ready to read to and with them. This book seems to find its way into each of their piles when reading time rolls around.

REVIEW - Star Wars Millennium Falcon book and mega model

Read about and build the fastest ship in the galaxy with this out-of-this-world book and model!
 
Read about and build the fastest ship in the galaxy with this out-of-this-world book and model! Learn the ins and outs of the Millennium Falcon, and then build your own sturdy foam mega model and become a part of this interplanetary adventure. 

When built, the model measures 12" x 12".

Just when you thought there were enough books published about Star Wars, along comes something truly unique. In addition to a full color pullout book with beautiful pictures, there is a 3-D model of the Millennium Falcon that can be assembled. Included in the pullout are detailed instructions showing how to assemble the model along with games and a profile for each character in the film.

For the Star Wars enthusiast as well as the model builder, this book is a must have.

Disney The Nutcracker and the Four Dreams Pop-Up Book

The Ballerina of the Realms dances on every page of this magical book!

From Disney's all-new live action film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, follow the elegant Ballerina of the Realms as she dances center stage in this artistic pop-up book, celebrating each of the unique and picturesque Four Realms. This beautiful format is a perfect holiday gift for fans of this classic tale, full of colorful characters and no shortage of surprises.

What a gorgeous book where the ballerina stays in the center of each scene. When she first opened the book, one of our older granddaughters simply said, "Ohhh." We have five granddaughters, and all of them are captivated by the movie, "Leap." As a result of that movie, and books like this one, a couple of the girls are already taking ballet lessons.

REVIEW - Another Monster at the End of This Book - Interactive

Come along with Grover and Elmo in this fun, interactive refresh of the classic storybook!

In this interactive version of the classic Sesame Street story, Grover tries everything to keep Elmo from turning another page and reaching the monster at the end of the book. With lift-the-flaps, sliders, and pop-up elements that kids will delight in, Another Monster is sure to be a new story time favorite!

Our granddaughters love to interact with this book. Even after reading it with them several times, they still enjoy pulling tabs, turning page corners, opening the velcro sections and more. This book will be enjoyed for some time to come since our youngest granddaughter is only 1 year old.

REVIEW - My First WILD Activity Book

Our nearly 6 year-old granddaughter was immediately captivated by this book after we handed it to her. Right away she wrote her name on the first page. 
A few minutes later she brought it to me to show the special pages that fold out to reveal different artwork. She was especially excited with all the stickers in the back.
We expect to see her spending hours on the different projects in the book and recommend it to others with young children.

Don't Go Out There After Dark!

Oh...sure. Snake Island might not look like much during the daytime. 

But what about after dark? After dark...it's a whole different story.

This book is a great summertime read for middle grade kids 8 - 13. Even adults are drawn to the exciting adventure, heart-pounding action, and courtroom drama.

Reviews 

Must Read! I absolutely loved this book. It kept me on my toes. I kept wondering what the boys would find on the island. Then I wondered what kind of danger they would find themselves in. One thing about this author's books is that they are not only filled with adventure, but also have some sort of mystery to them. This is a must read book.

Another great one by Max Elliot Anderson--a middle-grade mystery reminiscent of the old Hardy Boys mysteries. Five stars.

This one is about a group of four 12-year-olds who decide to spend the night on a spooky island near one of them's grandfather's farm. In their wildest dreams the boys didn't expect this level of scariness!

Another compelling and flawlessly entertaining read from cover to cover - Midwest Review
