Bought this for my 4 year old daughter who loves Wonder Woman. She loved this book! Every page is bright and colorful with bold pictures and words. Easy to read her ABC's.

We're so happy with this book! My five-year-old isn't ready to watch the movies without having nightmares, but lots of kids in his peer group were talking about Star Wars and all the characters and he didn't want to be left out. This book is PERFECT. He now knows plenty about Star Wars and the characters and can participate in playground games and kid conversations without feeling like a baby because he hasn't seen the movies.

The illustrations in this book ROCK. I absolutely love the style. The stories are written in such a way that they would be age-appropriate and compelling for a mature 3 year old, but not boring at all even to an 8 or 9 year old. They're exciting without being scary, but not so exciting that your kid will get too hyped up right before bed.

We love this book so much that I bought my daughter the "girl power" one. Big mistake. Here's a link to my review of that book: https://www.amazon.com/review/R333LHOED60WU9/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

My youngest daughter received this book last year for Christmas.  For nearly a year it sat in her room undisturbed.  She has recently shown an increased interest in princesses (I think that's standard when you are three) and is now very much in love with this book.  Each picture has a Dear Diary entry and several images that you have to look for in the picture.  It's similar to a Where's Waldo book with the drawings and sometimes quirky looking pictures, but the concept seems to resemble the I Spy books more.  Some of the pictures are very easy to spot everything on the list and others, like the picture for Belle are more difficult.  At the end of the book there is an additional list of things to find for each picture just like you would find in the Where's Waldo series.
Overall, it's a great book for a Disney Princess fan who likes to play hide and seek.  My three year old delights in looking at the pictures and finding the hidden objects.  I like that books like this teach her to look at the details.  My seven year old likes this book, too, but I think it's a little too easy for her.

I got this for my son for his 4th birthday. He loves this book! The stories are the perfect length for before bed time. He usually can't wait to read the next story and always asks for me to read the title of the next story we are going to read the next night. The illustrations are great and my son loves flipping through the pages to look at the pictures. I would definitely recommend this book for any superhero loving kiddo. I think this would also be a good book for kids a little older learning to read chapter books.

My son's birthday and Christmas are only a few days apart. When I asked him what he wanted for Christmas and his 10th birthday the only thing he wanted was lots of Mega Bloks Call of Duty sets. I purchased this set and several others and he loves them. He is very meticulous about building these sets and he cannot get enough of them. He is all about building these and loves anything to do with military and anything in camouflage.

My kids (7 y/o and 5 y/o) and I LOVE this book. The stories are so enjoyable and just the right length. Makes it easy to squeeze in a history lesson at any time. I can't believe how much they have learned and retained. I hear them referencing things they've learned in the book during conversations with other people. I love it!

Excellent!!!  This is exactly what I wanted for my young girls. They need to know that women and girls can be brave, courageous, and make a difference. I love how this was put together with little bios on each of the girls presenting the stories - and how these real to life girls are facing real life challenges and how they relate to the biblical stories that they share. The illustrations are outstanding. The presentations of each of the stories are exactly how a pre-teen or teenage youth would tell it. My youngsters totally relate to the stories being read to them. The stories are clear (and short). Since my girls are under 8, they love for me to read them the stories (and act them out as appropriate). The writing is winsome and "old" enough that I think even teenagers would like the book.

My kids love this.  It has all their favorite stories and helps them read and interact with the book with the awesome stylus pen.  The Owl quickly became a fun friend.  They love the activities on each page and the fun stories.  It is helping my 5 year old with his reading and getting him ready for Kindergarten. My three year old loves listening to the stories and trying the activities as well.  Overall a great gift for kids.

Since this is a children's book, I again allowed my 9 year old to read it with my 6 year old . Here is what my girls had to say about the Brave Girls Faithful Friends ... 90 days of devotions each devotion is one to two pages each day, but the second page is usually a puzzle or something fun to do to go along with the devotion. Some of the second pages are questions, recopies, all sorts of stuff that's cool. Starting page 111 "Friends At Home" has some cool word search here and there, and other cool things you can do. There are a total of 135 pages in this book as well. Over all my daughters loved this book, both of my girls struggle with kids at school and church, one day friends then not friends. My oldest daughter really took this book to heart and told me her favorite part of this series was the prayer points and solution areas.

My son and I love anything Star Wars.  He is in kinder so I figured this book would be great to help him with his SW sight words and the ABCs at the same time.  He loves sitting with me and seeing so many SW characters.

Both my children - 16 month old little boy and 2.5 year old little girl love this book.  She enjoys "reading" it to him as well.  They absolutely love when Midas's favorite stuffed animal goes into the washer and changes color when he gets clean, but Midas still loves him :)  My 2.5 year old likes hearing the back story of Midas included on the inside back cover and I love that she's already asking questions and learning about mythical characters like Midas!

My kids love these books!  And I love that they love them.  It's a great way for kids to learn about historical people.

I love history and hope to instill this love in my children. I started to read this to my 5 year old high energy boy and he instantly loved it. It is quality kids book with a strong sense of what America should be. We can't wait to read the others!

I really, really like the Story of the World reading books!!!  I agree with the age recommendation of grades 1-5 for this activity book.  Although, many of the activities can be adapted for younger ages, but some are pushing it for many 5th grader as sometimes they are just "too old for that kid stuff" (depending on the child, of course).  I really like the questions for comprehension of the text (imho most of the questions are more for the younger ages as well), and that there are suggestions of other books from the library in addition to just activities. This really helps the history come to life, and round out the learning experience.  I like how the book is layed out, it is very easy to use and look ahead to see what craft supplies will be needed next.  Well Done!

I was so happy to find this Wonder Woman dvd set. I was 4 or 5 years old when I would watch this show and did the twirling thing that she would to to transform herself into WW.I put the dvd on and my 4 year old daughter was watching it and the next thing you know there she was spinning around and chanting "Wonder Woman!" she absolutely loves it! The shows special effects are of course primitive by todays standards but you still enjoy it nonetheless. Lynda Carter is the only person that I could ever imagine who could be WW.Time hasn't touched her she still looks amazing! I sure hope they release all the seasons that were televised. If you grew up in the seventies I know it will bring back old memories.

We meet Wanda: shes a little girl with BIG dreams. Shes a superstar  just ask her, shell tell you! Shes surrounded by adoring fans (otherwise known as her brother. James, and sister, Jade) who she shoves off the red carpet and has no time for  shes a star, baby! Her biggest fan is her floppy dog, Wilbur. Wilbur is a sweet mush of a dog that patiently tolerates Wandas self-centered behavior, acting as her pillow and her pashmina. Much like Jade and James, Wilbur is relegated to second-class citizen status while Wanda watches her favorite show, The Star Show.

Wanda snaps a picture of herself and Wilbur and uploads it before bedtime. When she wakes up, the picture has gone viral and there are adoring crowds outside of her home  but to Wandas chagrin, the fans are there for Wilbur, not Wanda! How will Wanda handle Wilburs newfound success?

Flop to the Top takes a tongue-in-cheek look at fame and social media in this day and age, at the same time teaching a valuable lesson in friendship and humility to kids. Wandas a pretty rude kid, but learns that the world doesnt revolve around her, and even more important, the consequences of selfish behavior. Kids will love Wilbur, will catch onto the social media jokes, and just maybe, learn to treat others with the respect we all deserve.

Ive been a fan of Eleanor Davis work since my son went nuts for the Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook a few years ago.  Ive got her TOON Books on my library shelves, and press them into the hands of every parent I can get over to my graphic novels section. Her book, Stinky, received several awards, including designation as a 2009 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book, a 2009 Booklist Notable Childrens Book, and a Bank Street College of Educations Best Childrens Book of the Year.

TOON rates this book a Level 3, for more advanced beginners (grades 2-3), but don't let that stop you if you have younger readers in the house. I curled up with my 3 year old and read it, and he cracked up at the artwork and the story, and fell in love with Wilbur. Go with it  read to your kids! Thats half the fun right there!

Davis husband, Drew Weing, shares art duties on this book, and its perfect for young readers. The bright art has a retro feel, and the multicultural characters have wildly expressive faces that kids will glom onto. Wilbur is adorable, and a big old mush dog that any kid (or grownup) can imagine watching TV with and using as the worlds best pillow.
