| What a gorgeous book! Celebrating worldwide birthday practices, but with animal illustrations, this is a wonderful, creative venture with something to please every child. The text is sparse, joyful and rhyming, and the illustrations are clever (with ...more | |

An excellent book on a number of levels. Interesting, fun story, a green theme, humor, great characters... I thoroughly enjoyed this windy book. Reread today and this book is still a big winner. So funny! |

| In gentle rhyming verse, two children travel through the ocean layers; down, down to the murky depths, before hitching a ride on a whale back to the surface, ending on the beach. Gorgeous illustrations of lots of different sea animals by patients at ...more | |

| A wonderful story, dark and mysterious like the ocean. This edition has similarly dark and mysterious illustrations by Elise Hurst. This story folds worlds and time upon itself while grounding itself in a young boy's perceptions (as his older self lo ...more | |

| A great read aloud storytime book for the youngest children. Bright colours and simple rhyming phrases will entertain little ones. It's not nonfiction - rather, it's a simple story venturing into Seussian whimsy and imagination. Essentially, a fish g ...more | |

| With a title like this, you just know how it's going to end...but the journey there is loads of fun. Lots of rhyme, repetition and a few unusual words thrown in for interest. Lynley Dodd does it again! And those illustrations - little Schnitzel is su ...more | |

| With the rhythm, rhyme and repetition we expect from the Hairy Maclary series, this one is lighter on story but still fun and cute. I love the other characters making appearances in the background. | |

| A beautiful, heartwarming story about a girl and a strange smiling dog, and so much more. Ultimately I think it's about life, and how it has joy and sadness; sometimes even at the same time. No one writes like Kate DiCamillo, and the way her characte ...more | |

“Coraline sighed. 'You really don't understand do you?' she said. 'I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted, just like that, and it didn't mean anything? What then?”
