by: Lewis Carroll List Price: $25.95 Amazon.com's Price: $17.65 You Save: $8.30 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description As a huge fan of Sabuda's WIZARD OF OZ, I grabbed ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND as soon as I saw it in the store, and it didn't disappoint at all. The book is similar in design to WIZARD OF OZ, has several eye-popping pages that literally jump out at you and contains a faithful abridgement of Lewis Carroll's classic text. The first page, featuring the forest where Alice first encounters the White Rabbit, is glorious, and Sabuda has imagined a remarkable way to give readers ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

by: Mordicai Gerstein List Price: $17.95 Amazon.com's Price: $12.57 You Save: $5.38 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description On an otherwise normal day in August 1974, a young Frenchman pulled off what may be the most impressive (not to mention foolhardy) wire-walking exhibition in history. New York City's early commuters looked up to the almost-completed World Trade Center towers to see a man, experienced aerialist Phillippe Petit, walking back and forth across them on a wire. This amazing (albeit highly illegal) achievement has now been immortalized in impressive ink and oil paintings in Mordicai Gerstein in The Man Who Walked ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description What can be better than reading the three greatest books--"The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers," and "The Return of the King"--ever written?

by: Janet Schulman List Price: $40.00 Amazon.com's Price: $27.20 You Save: $12.80 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Most of the 'greatest hits' collections - whether for a time period or a particular artist seem to always leave out the best song or super-star groups. This Treasury astounded me by collecting 'all' the great authors and stories (at least all of the ones I can thing of). Madeline, Dr. Seuss, Babar, Curious George, Where the Wild Things Are, The Berenstain Bears, Amelia Bedelia, Stellaluna, Pooh, etc... I am amazed that the editors managed to get the rights to publish all of these incredible favorites! Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Melissa de la Cruz List Price: $14.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.47 You Save: $4.48 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Light and fun and a little less mean and snobby than the Gossip Girl novels, The Au Pairs offers a fun and fluffy read perfect for pool-side enjoyment. All three main characters are likeable and, unlike those too-enviable GG characters, you'll be rooting for them from page 1. Especially the small-town girl, Mara, who is certainly a fish out of water in the glitzy, party-all-night world of the Hamptons. The girls' conflicts add some depth to what might otherwise be a no-brainer sort of novel. Mara strives ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Karyn Henley, Dennas Davis Amazon.com's Price: $14.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is a great way to introduce your children to the Bible. The Chapter and verse is listed with each story so you can look up stories that you wish to share with your children. The subjects are presented in a short enough length so as not to lose the attention span of your child. They also make great bedtime stories because you can choose how much to read each night. I especially liked the way that this book handled diffucult topics like the crucifixion of Jesus. It does not shy away from these topics, but presents ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

|
by: Katherine Paterson Amazon.com's Price: $6.50 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Jacob Have I Loved is an excellent children's story that is loosley based on the biblical account of Jacob and Esau. It is about the turbulent relationship between a pair of twin sisters. Louise, who is the narrator and the character of Esau, is unable to recognize her own talents because she is constantly comparing herself to her beautiful and gifted sister Caroline. Katherine Paterson's book is well written and very understandable. One of its main strengths is that it is written from Louise's perspective. Because Louise is the narrator, the reader ...
