| 231. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaptation | |
|
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

| 232. Robot Rover: An Inventor's Handbook Kit | |
|
by: Nikki Sims List Price: $16.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.87 You Save: $5.08 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description We bought this robot kit for kids aged 9 to 12 years old. The picture on the front cover is not the robot that you'll be making - first disappointment! Furthermore, this robot kit was made up mainly flexible cardboard pieces - easily torn and bent out of shape. It was hard for an adult to assemble, let alone kids. The design was flimsy and therefore one could easily dislodge parts - which meant the kids could not play with it. Which did not matter, as the battery, worm screw, and switch system never worked ...

by: Joy Masoff, Terry Sirrell List Price: $14.95 Amazon.com's Price: $5.98 You Save: $8.97 (60%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I purchased this book for my 12 year old son for Christmas. I have yet to wrap it because I am so interested in reading it! This is definitely a pretty disgusting book from a mom's point of view but I know my son will absolutely love it! Some of the illustrations are so gross they made me laugh out loud. There is a lot of scientific information hidden in this humorous encyclopedia. I have learned a lot already and I am only up to C. This book is a "must have" for any pre-teen or teenager, especially boys who ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 234. How to Eat Fried Worms | |
|
by: THOMAS ROCKWELL Amazon.com's Price: $4.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell is a very entertaining book! I read it sometime in the 80's when I was a teen and I thought it was a good book and very amusing. It is about a boy named Billy who when hanging out with his friends winds up making a bet that he will eat 15 worms. I know it sounds like a gross story and probably sounds a little lame but this book is actually pretty good and boys and even some girls ages 8 and older should find this book entertaining and amusing and I highly recommend it.

| 235. Haunted Castle on Hallow's Eve (Magic Tree House, 30) | |
|
by: MARY POPE OSBORNE List Price: $11.95 Amazon.com's Price: $9.56 You Save: $2.39 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description For some reason I've gotten into reading children's books. Maybe only a nostalgia for lost youth or something, but I have found some very enjoyable entertainment in some of those I've read recently that were not available when I was a kid myself. The Magic Tree House series is just such. I picked up Haunted Castle on Hallow's Eve as my introduction to Miss Osborne's work and was thoroughly delighted with it. Simple and direct, it is instructive without being pedantic, and introduces new words in contexts where their ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: JEANNE DUPRAU List Price: $15.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.17 You Save: $4.78 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Maddie and I read this as a read aloud. Much fun. A great sequel to the City of Ember. Lina and Doon are imperfect and terrific characters that everyone can relate to. Also, the other characters were well developed, too. Wouldn't it be great if there was another book coming... Read Reviews and Description

| 237. Time for Bed | |
|
by: Mem Fox Amazon.com's Price: $6.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The outstanding watercolor illustrations highlight this book - and are the reason I bought it at all. The rhyming text is sweet, but too repetitive. I find myself doing a little self-editing as I read it aloud. All the illustrations are amazing, although I would prefer the snake and the bee weren't included. I usually skip those pages. A nice way to teach your child the names of animals - especially since the illustrations all contain a "mommy" or "daddy" and a "baby" - the first words most children learn.

| 238. Baby Einstein: Babies (Baby Einstein (Board Books)) | |
|
by: Julie Aigner-Clark Amazon.com's Price: $3.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description My son loves this book! (And the Dogs one too.) He is one year old and he can easily turn the pages. There are other board books that are the same size, but the pages are too thick for him to turn the pages by himself very well. He likes to carry it around with him. When he's not bringing it to me to read to him, I often find him sitting there looking at it by himself. Love the pictures! And it's an easy book to throw into a diaper bag or a purse for those down times outside of the house! Read Reviews and Description
