If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late (Secret Series) Overview

Beware!

Dangerous secrets lie between the pages of this book.

OK, I warned you. But if you think I’ll give anything away, or tell you that this is the sequel to my first literary endeavor, The Name of This Book is Secret, you’re wrong.

I’m not going to remind you of how we last left our heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest, as they awaited intiation into the mysterious Terces Society, or the ongoing fight against the evil Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais. I certainly won’t be telling you about how the kids stumble upon the Museum of Magic, where they finally meet the amazing Pietro!

Oh, blast! I’ve done it again. Well, at least I didn’t tell you about the missing Sound Prism, the nefarious Lord Pharaoh, or the mysterious creature born in a bottle over 500 years ago, the key to the biggest secret of all.

I really can’t help myself, now can I? Let’s face it—if you’re reading this, it’s too late.

If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late (Secret Series) Review

This is the second book in the Secret Series by Pseudonymous Bosch. This book continues with Cassandra and Max-Ernest as the main characters. In this book Cassandra and Max-Ernest discovered the Midnight Sun. The Midnight Sun is a spa for the forces of evil. Cassandra and Max-Ernest meet Dr. L and Mrs. Mauvais and then the couple invites both Cass and Max-Ernest to dinner. When the kids leave the Mauvais house, Dr. L and his wife start getting suspicious about why Cass and Max-Ernest came to the Midnight Sun. Later on in the story Cassandra goes back to the Midnight Sun to try and figure out what Dr. L and his wife are secretly doing. Max-Ernest and Cassandra find a map to the secret but they never actually find the secret in this book. Dr. L and Mrs. Mauvais try to get the map from Cassandra and Max-Ernest, but they don’t succeed. You are left wondering what is going to happen in the next book.

I really like the writing style of Pseudonymous Bosch. It is very unusual and creative. For example, in this book the chapters go backwards instead of forwards. He does a lot of other fun things with his writing. I would recommend this book to readers that have a good sense of humor and enjoy mysteries and secrets.

Sleepy Dog (Step into Reading, Step 1) Review

I bought this book for my three year old daughter. She loves us to read books to her and I wanted to get a book that I thought it would keep her attention. We have read it so much that she can complete the sentence on the page. The author did a great job making illustrations that goes along with the story so that a younger child can figure out what is going on.

Thomas Goes Fishing (Thomas and Friends) (Step into Reading) Features

Thomas Goes Fishing (Thomas and Friends) (Step into Reading) Overview

Thomas often sees his young friends standing by the stream fishing.
It looks like so much fun that Thomas wants to go fishing too. One day, he runs out of steam and his driver fills his boiler from the stream. And soon, Thomas’ boiler is what the driver is fishing in!
In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small, blue, wooden engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W Awdry, made up to accompany this wonderful toy were first published in 1945.

Thomas Goes Fishing (Thomas and Friends) (Step into Reading) Review

This is a simplified version of the “Thomas Goes Fishing” story and to tell the truth we sort of like this version best as it gets to the point without alot of mucking about and ridicule from the other engines.

The story begins with Thomas watching some children fishing by a bridge. He `peeps’ and they wave, and Thomas wistfully declares that he would like to fish too. His driver chuckles at the thought, but every day Thomas sees the children and his desire stays alive.

Nothing happens until the day, Thomas suddenly stops and complains that his boiler hurts. [There is a great picture of the driver peering into Thomas' empty boiler]. Because his boiler is low and there is no water service station available, the driver proceeds to fill Thomas’ boiler with water from the river. And everything seems fine until Thomas starts to giggle.

“Hee hee!” said Thomas.
My boiler feels funny.”

Well the driver looks into the boiler but this time it not only has water, but two fish swimming about! Thomas’ solution is to `peep’ and attract his friends, the children. His driver borrows a fishing rod and well… he and Thomas go fishing!

Five Stars. The artwork in this little book is wonderful. The drawings are imaginative and bright. And the simplified story is actually funnier to my two than the longer version. And at this price, a worthy addition to the home sheds’ library.

The Story about Ping (Reading Railroad Books) Overview

Since 1933, The Story About Ping has captivated generations of readers, but never before has it been available in a mass-market paperback format. No one can deny the appeal of the book’s hero, Ping, the spirited little duck who lives on a boat on the Yangtze River. Ping’s misadventures one night while exploring the world around his home form the basis of this timeless classic, which is brought to life by Kurt Wiese’s warm and poignant illustrations.

The Story about Ping (Reading Railroad Books) Review

THE STORY ABOUT PING by Marjorie Flack and Kurt Wiese is a 32-page book, with an illustration on every page. The illustations have black ink outlines of the characters and objects, which are filled in with colored pastel chalk. The texture of the drawing paper can be seen, by way of the near-microscopic dots. The textures of the chalk marks, the streaks and dots, are a treat to the eye. The book is a classic, having been first published in 1933.

The first picture shows a line of ducks walking off a wooden boat, across a board, to a meadow. Ping is in the middle of the line. The next picture shows the same ducks climbing back into the boat at sunset. The next picture shows Ping’s choice not to return the boat, because he was a little late in returning and was afraid of getting a spank from the master of the boat. The last duck on board always got a spank.

The next 20 or so pictures show the consequences of Ping’s decision to stay away. Being alone at night. Being lost on the river amidst a group of unfamiliar wooden boats, and not knowing which boat was his. Being captured by a boy. Being imprisoned in a basket on a boat. Being released from the basket by the boy. Spotting his familiar family of ducks from a distance, and swimming back to his boat. Getting a spank.

The narrative begins like this: “Once upon a time there was a beautifil young duck named Ping. Ping lived with his mother and his father and two sisters and three brothers and eleven aunts and seven uncles and forty-two cousins. Their home was a boat with two wise eyes on the Yangtze River.”

These opening words remind me of the opening words of another classic, where most of the story takes place on the water: “Call me Ishmael. Some years ago – never mind how long precisely – having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation.”

Both books are classics. But THE STORY OF PING is a classic suitable especially for little kids.

My list of “must own” children’s books include: THE STORY ABOUT PING by Marjorie Flack, THE LITTLE HOUSE by Virginia Lee Burton, CAPS FOR SALE by Esphyr Slobodkina, the books illustrated by Tibor Gergley, and of course RICHARD SCARRY’S BEST STORYBOOK EVER! by Richard Scarry. Oh, to be the parent of a 2-year old once again!!!

I Wear My Tutu Everywhere! (Reading Railroad Books) Overview

When Tilly wants to wear her tutu all the time and rips it on the playground, Mama suprises her with the best place to wear it–dancing class.

I Wear My Tutu Everywhere! (Reading Railroad Books) Review

We first purchased this book a few years ago when our oldest daughter was about 3 1/2 years old and she would wear a tutu EVERY day to school, shopping, etc. She often looked “silly” (just like Tilly in the book) but she was happy and she loved the idea of being a ballerina. This book perfectly captured the intensity of her desire to dress how she wanted. It really was a precious time in her childhood. We even framed an illustration out of the book and have it up on her bedroom wall because it so wonderfully captured who she was during those pre-school years. I wear my Tutu Everywhere is a great book for all those pre-school wanna-be ballerinas. We read it many times over and highly recommend it!

What’s Out There?: A Book about Space (Reading Railroad) Review

Now that space travel is an option, it’s important that children today grow up thinking about outer space. Although this book doesn’t get into deep scientific detail, it’s a good early step toward learning about space, and all the possibilities that space travel has to offer.

Although I do not agree with the heliocentric ideas presented in this book, it is healthy for a child to dream about traveling in outer space. So I feel that any book that can get a child thinking about outer space is worth buying.

The Night Before St. Patrick’s Day (Reading Railroad) Review

I love this series by Natasha Wing. It expands on the classic favorite The Night Before Christmas by creating a “night before” story for each holiday. It contains part of the old classics with a new twist. They read with great rhythm, just like the classic, and entertain children while bringing adults back to their childhood.

This story is very imaginative and full of fun St. Patrick’s Day themes (shamrocks, a pot of gold, etc.). The illustrations are beautifully done and very whimsical. I have bought all these books for my godson and my mother (who is a lower grade teacher and reads them too her kids in the classroom). They are so cute, I may get them for myself too. This book is fun for all.

The Night Before St. Patrick’s Day (Reading Railroad) Overview

It??s the night before St. Patrick??s Day, and Tim and Maureen are wide awake setting traps to catch a leprechaun! When they wake the next morning to the sound of their dad playing the bagpipes and the smell of their mom cooking green eggs, they??re shocked to find that they??ve actually caught a leprechaun. But will they be able to find his pot of gold? Natasha Wing??s latest title is once again told in verse to the same meter of Clement Moore??s classic.
