I gave this to a sight impaired/MD 90 year old lady friend,  she is so happy to be able to read so many of her documents/mail.  The 3x. and LED lights have helped a lot.  She is a happy camper!

I am happy to have this book on my Kindle, and have been taking my time going through the thirteen short stories. It's fascinating to learn how each author interprets the same premise!  A lagniappe for me was discovering the author Amanda Stevens through this collection. I am enjoying one of her novels now.

I purchased these books for my granddaughter! She absolutely loves them! It is such a joy reading her these stories! She laughs and laughs and we pause throughout the stories to discuss Ramona, her family and her friends actions! She cannot wait until I pull out these books and read her more about their adventures! I will continue to purchase ALL of the Ramona books!

I bought this for my daughter, after she informed me she had been reading some of the books further along in this series at her school library and that she really enjoyed them.  She read this whole thing last night, totally foiling a well-intentioned plan to give her enough reading to keep her occupied until we could get to the library this weekend and check her out some more books.  The best laid plans of mice and mamas, so to speak...So, these are her thoughts on the books in this collection:

She really likes it, but doesn't want to spoil what happens for the other customers, so she's not going to give me specific plot points for the review.  Although I did hear them when she was telling me about the books this morning, I'm just not allowed to include them or she's going to give me the stink eye.  And maybe put bunny ears behind my head as I'm typing.  She said they are about 10-12 year olds who survive disasters of one kind or another.  These are told from the points of view of the characters, but they could be described as historical fiction.  They describe real life events, and the characters are based on actual people who survived them, but they themselves are made up.  She said they have facts about the actual events in the back of the book as well.

She very enthusiastically says that she would totally read more of them, and then asked if I was going to offer to buy her more.  I told her, "as quickly as you plowed through these, you know, seeing as how they were meant to last you several days, our next stop is the library." But if I do buy her more books, I may buy her more of these...

Rat Medicine was a book that I read, reread, and keep on hand to read again. It is amazing that the author has so many voices, so many stories, and it becomes difficult to decide which one you prefer...the young and  fragile eight-year-old girl, the seemingly self-assured woman nipping sips  from the liquor cabinet, the Irish mute in a land of magic, and so many  others.  Davis' stories are moving, witty, funny, insightful, and written  with such wonderful detail that your imagination travels to numerous places  and into the vast array of characters' minds. A wonderful gift for yourself  or someone else, I thoroughly enjoyed and continue to enjoy her work.

I really relate to this wonderful collection. Her writing style is captivating and her experiences are similar to mine making it easy for me to understand those steps that I still have to make in my own journey. Thank you, a great read.

I was a children's librarian for 6 years, and only left that job because I relocated. When I had my daughter in July, I had a pretty good stockpile of stories, but I wanted a treasury - a collection with classics and something that we could transition from me reading to her, to us reading together, and eventually her reading independently. I was hesitant to purchase this because of the reviews regarding illustrations. I have to disagree - there are illustrations missing, but I don't think that it has removed much from the stories. There are some in here that I love and will be purchasing regular versions of solely because who doesn't want regular copies of Amelia Bedelia (especially when your daughter is named Amelia!). At any rate - this collection is beautiful and I love reading it to my daughter.

My daughter received this as a gift from one of our friends and devoured all the stories within a couple of days. There are eight stories in this collection, i.e. "Eloise and the Big Parade", "Eloise and the Dinosaurs", "Eloise and the Snowman", "Eloise and the Very Secret Room", "Eloise at the Wedding", "Eloise Breaks Some Eggs", "Eloise Has a Lesson", and "Eloise's New Bonnet".

The stories capture Eloise's fun-loving nature and the illustrations enhance the text. Typical of level one readers, this book contains slightly more challenging vocabulary, and longer sentence structure. Young children who love Eloise and her adventures will adore this series of early readers. It appears the book is currently not in print (?) and I would suggest purchasing the titles separately.

It's so refreshing to have books written by those with Asperger's, not just those who have studied it from the outside.
