 The Catlady $5.50 Muriel is known as the Catlady, because she lives alone with just her many cats for company. When a new kitten is born, it soon becomes clear that it”Ēs no ordinary cat. Vicky is a kitten with a very regal character, and strangely enough, she was born on the very day that Queen Victoria died! From the Hardcover edition.  The Water Horse $5.50 So I am sure the story itself is wonderful, but this book is a LOT smaller than I expected. (I might have not read the whole description). I was under the impression this book was a real book, not an elementary school book. The girl I bought it for enjoyed it, but I wish it took her longer to read it.  The Invisible Dog $5.50 When I read the review of this book I thought it would be good for my 7-year-old grand-daughterwho had a smiilar experience and was still mourning the loss of Labrador. I liked the topic and the story. However, I was stunned by the gray pages and dark print of the book. I didn't expect a Disney type picture book, but books for children should, at least, be on clear, strong, good white paper. The quality of this book reminded me of the books put out during and after WWII when the paper industry was just beginning to recycle paper. What a disappointment. I was embarrassed to give my granddaughter this dingy looking book.  A Mouse Called Wolf $5.50 This is a wonderful little book. My children loved it and I still enjoy reading this to children when I get a chance. I like to volunteer to read at the schools, libraries, etc in our area. |
