Jumper by Rebecca Scarberry is a delightful story for children of all ages. Follow the hilarious and sometimes scary adventures of Jumper, a red beach ball with feelings as he is taken on a mystery tour with his owner, Tony and family. The author fills every page with sweetness and sugar candy moments that will make every child want to read more but beware the sticky finger monster so lick them fingers after reading.
This is a FIVE STAR children's novella that this reader highly recommends to all parents.

As an avid reader of  childrens books I must say Cynthia Rylant is one of my favorite authors. The Mr. Putter and Tabby books have so much to offer a young reader. They is always a dash of humor provided by Mr. Putter's cat Tabby and his neighbors dog Zeke. Mr. Putter usually looks back at his childhood in some way offering a unique perspective to young readers. Mr. Putter's neighbor Mrs. Teaberry likes to try new things and Mr. Putter reluctantly follows. In this particular story Mr. Putter attempts to paint his porch 3 times. First a squirrel rus through the paint, then a chipmunk, and the final time he learns his lesson and leaves his pets with Mrs. Teaberry.
One aspect I like about this series of books as a parent is that they are very calming. The characters are never in peril nd the plot is light hearted.

My son who is now 45 and a father of 2 boys grew up with Richard Scarry.  These books will never be obsolete.  I have kept all his Richard Scarry books as he asked me to.  This one and 3 others by Richard Scarry I purchased for my Nephews 3 children ages 2 and 3-1/2 year old twins.  I have yet to meet a parent or child who does not enjoy reading any Richard Scarry book. They are not only informative but the cute animals that take the place of people doing people things in their town or elsewhere make learning a joy for Pre K and up.  I highly recommend any Richard Scarry book.  The child who receives it will thank you again and again. I being a grandma of 4 boys enjoy looking at them from time to time. They bring a smile along with some extremely pleasant memories of my son and I enjoying these books together, as he has done with both of his sons who are also growing up with Richard Scarry.

I found R.O.Dents in the School to be a cute, worthwhile, reading experience.  The author does a wonderful job of bringing the reader into the whimsical world of rodents.  The plot contains several underlining lessons of hope, acceptance, and perserverance.  Ronald's Big Word Glossary (located in the back of the book) was a very creative way to introduce new vocabruary to the reader.  I highly recommend R.O.Dents in the School.

Every child needs a dose of Richard Scarry. Perhaps adults do as well.

A wonderful series of books for children. The illustrations are are really interesting and enjoyable. When read in a bouncy way they are very enjoyable and easy for children to follow and predict rhyming words. The ideas are also quite realistic.

Peter Pillow is a delightful children's book by Jon Sniderman that has an appealing and entertaining storyline.  Once children hear this story and see the vibrant and appropriate illustrations by Juan Carlos Colla, I believe they will crawl into bed and see their pillows in a new light.  Perhaps they will even see "Peter Pillow."

The creativity and imagination of the author brings Peter Pillow alive on the first page as he (the pillow) looks forward to the two children coming to bed.  Though the bedtime activities are always similar, Peter Pillow enjoys the attention he gets from the two kids.  There is even more fun when the father comes in to say goodnight to the children and gives Peter Pillow additional attention.  Flop, fluff, turn around and fix--they all love playing with Peter Pillow and fixing him just right.  After this fun time together, the father gives his kids goodnight hugs and kisses, and they quickly go to sleep with the pillow molding himself comfortably around their necks.

But what happens when the expected doesn't happen?  How does Peter Pillow react when, one night, the children don't come into their bedroom?  They don't seem to be anywhere in the house. Upset and unhappy, the pillow falls asleep, worried and distressed.  When will the children return home?

This story reminded me of my son who, as a toddler, carried around a pillow at all times.  His name was Buddy the Pillow, but I bet Buddy and Peter provided the same kind of fun and comfort to their human friends.

This book is well-written, wonderfully designed, and should help parents get their children to bed on time as they make friends with the pillows on their bed and do their own fluffing, flopping, fixing, and turning around.  I recommend Peter Pillow as a great and imaginative resource for children who enjoy picture books.

My sister and I grew up with Richard Scarry books. So when my sister had her first child I knew I had to get it.  She loved it, as will her little girl. It is visually stimulating and is educational on so many levels.  You cant go wrong!

It was wonderful to read the changes and delight in them as the monkeys piled up on the boy's head. Very good language and words were used and concepts. It uses the notion of silliness to transfer knowledge - a bit like this book&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Funny-Monkeys-Silly-Rhyming-Children-s-Picture-Book-Animal-Rhyming/dp/B007QXJFUK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Funny Monkeys Silly Rhyming Children's Picture Book (Animal Rhyming)</a>&nbsp;Both are very fun reads for both parent and the child.

A quick read in classic Richard Scarry style.  My son, aged 20 months, likes flipping through this one over and over.  It makes him laugh.

This book is very entertaining.  My grandchildren enjoyed it and were tickled with the idea that monsters have birthdays.  It seems to make them not as scary.  The illustrations are wonderful.
