Good book to accompany the Little Star book written by the same author

When I ordered Little Star by the same author, this book also popped up. I ordered 3 copies for the grandchildren who lived nearby. Like his other story, this little prayer of mine transcend specific religous beliefs and focuses on individual goodness and family values. It is easily read and my grandchildren also help read it out loud.

A worthwhile and enduring addition to the family book collection1

This is a good little book with several adventures of Little Critter. I am a big fan of Mercer Mayer, and my grandkids love him even more.

My grandson loved the first book so much, I bought him this, too. He doesn't seem as engrossed so many the novelty has worn off. I still think this is a pretty nice little book for little kids (who like trucks,especially). I have to say, you really see the author's perspective on small town v.s. big city life coming through. It's my perspective, too (I HATE traffic!), so I'm OK with that. Some city dwellers might not like all those angry faces on the city cars though. The ending was pretty cool when  Little Blue has to help the mayor. These books are moralistic in a sweet way that, I don't think anyway, offends anyone. Kind of makes you wonder where author Alice will send Little Blue next. Maybe to the Congress in Washington? Beep! Beep!

This book has short rhyming sentences that are good for young children. The story says good night to various things similar to good night moon.

I enjoy Louisa May Alcott's books.  I have read most of them more than once.
This is a continuation of "Little Women"  which includes the marriages of Meg, Jo and Amy and their families.

This book is nearly identical to the episode with the same name. This just summarizes the story at times. But it's still a 5-7 minute read (so not too short).

It also comes with stickers in the book, the stickers are of the characters and items found in the story.

This a sweet and simple book centering around the phases of the moon. It's geared towards the toddler and preschool crowd and reads more like a picture book than an educational volume. I did expect the book to be very basic science for young children but it's more of a literary work rather than non fiction. The more I read it with the kids the more I like it although I'm not sure they're really learning all that much about the phases of the moon. That said, it has earned a spot on our shelf just as a good picture book with bright contrasting colors that hold the baby's attention while I read to the older kids.

I was delighted to find this book, and enjoyed it as much as I did, largely because of its connection to one of my favorite children's books, A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In that book, born storyteller Sara Crewe tells another child about her fancy that dolls, when we aren't watching them, move about and live active little lives, only to rush back to their chairs just before we come back into the room. For all these years, I never realized that Burnett had written an entire book -- if a short book, for younger children -- based on this idea.

The book itself is a light and pleasant morsel, with pleasing characters, an unsurprising and unobjectionable moral, and a sprinkling of piquant detail. In itself, it's not especially memorable -- but it's worth reading as a sort of tribute to Sara Crewe, a far more enduring character.

I loved the book. I read the book to my 3 year old and it was long enough to keep her attention. She loved the bright colorful pictures and simple words.

I loved the fact it had difficult words at the end to work on but it was simple enough for a new reader to feel good about finishing.

Good book. Good price.

Nice subject matter too.

A book that will make a great companion book to the classic Blueberry for Sal by Robert McCloskey. Love books with recipes - read it, make the blueberry jam and read it again.  A lot of fun.

Nice book! Used to introduce my four-year-old granddaughter to the stars.

My daughter and I were at the book store and I let her pick out a book for herself, and I picked a book I wanted for her. Typically I read the books before buying, but I saw the namesake and wanted it.

The book is easy to understand, and the drawings are cute. It also briefly goes into some serious issues -such as racism, and I think it's a good opportunity to talk more about racism if they ask questions, and about the history of the civil rights movement.

Also, a great Segway into reading poems by Maya Angelou.

This book was the second Spot book that my youngest daughter and I read together. As an early reader she loves these books. She can read a lot of this book by herself and with my son who is 9 they can read the whole book to me or to each other. There are a couple different editions of this book but other than the cover they both appear to be the same 10 page board book format. A quick search shows that there are around 50 Spot books by Eric Hill. That is a lot of reading with a little brown puppy. So it is a good thing that kids love these books.

My youngest two adore the Spot books. It took a while for them to grow on my son who is 9, by my youngest daughter at 6 has loved Spot from her first encounter. Even my oldest at almost 11 is willing to read them with or to the younger two.

In some ways this is a typical board book. But being part of a larger series, many of which are not board books it makes it a good bridging book for early readers. The illustrations are fun, they use a fairly basic palette and do not have a great deal of details, but there is something charming about the simple illustrations.

This story focuses around the American Thanksgiving, and unlike many books in this series it does not appear to have different versions of different lengths and does not appear to have a translated version. But with that being said this is another good book in a really good series.

This is a cute book that is broken down into several smaller stories. This allows the child with even the shortest attention span to enjoy the story in smaller chunks.

The stories where detailed and gave a lot of information in each story as to why the character was the way they were.

I also (as a part and a teacher) really liked how at the end of each short story there was a suggested activity that could be done. I like that this was added.

I received this book for free or at a discount for my unbiased and honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I read Little Women years ago and enjoyed it.  This past year I decided to read it again, and I also decided to read some of Louisa May Alcott's other books.  They are all wonderful and, in my opinion, of the same caliber as the celebrated Little Women.

The book is great for beginners. But is also great to read to little one's. The story is short and sweet with a cute story and good reference for the small kiddos to learn about feelings (happy, sad, frightened and more).
