Humorous & wise
This story is great - how a little tiny mouse beats off 4 potential predators with sheer wit - and the tape is hilarious, with wonderful attention to detail which just makes it that much easier to hear for the 456th time!

How you look or how you act?
This is a great story of George the Giant who is tired of being the messiest giant in town. He decides to spruce himself up with some great new clothes. But on his way home, he meets all kinds of animals who need help. Through his acts of kindness, George becomes less and less spiffy. This a story that introduces the concept of putting others' needs before your own in a cute humorous way. The illustrations are as clever as they are expressive. My four and two year old request this story almost daily.

A great book!... but can you come up with a good tune?
We got books instead of the usual souvenirs on our trip to London. The Gruffalo was the biggest hit of the bunch. It reads effortlessly and our kids adore it! They already know all the words by heart and have taken to making up different tunes to go with the "lyrics." The illustrations give the storyline a sweet but not sacharine feel. Axel Sheffler is now our favorite illustrator. Check out his other books -- Juice the Pig. written by Martine Oborne You're a Hero, Daley B. written by Jon Blake Monkey Puzzle. written by Julia Donaldson -- if you love the Gruffalo, these are must-haves as well.

One of the BEST childrens books out there
Whatever I might write about this book will hardly convey how wonderful it is. It is an ace in ALL categories, illustrations are beautiful and fun, story is lovley, clever, sweet and original, kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it; parents love it. What more can you ask. Buy it, and I am sure you will want to pass it on to all your friends' kids too so that they won't miss out. We have all Julias books and NONE disappoint.

Great book for kids!
We love the little mouse in this book! This brave little mouse used his brain to conquer the obstacles in his world. The ending makes me smile so much.

Room for one more?
What a fun book for Halloween or anytime!

The book offers a gentle lesson in cooperation as the animals work together to rescue their friend. (It's a dirty job, but somebody had to do it--you'll see what I mean when you read the book.)

The rhymes work well for reading aloud and the vividly colored illustrations are full of details that little children will want to look at again and again.

For the most part the characters are smiling (except, of course, when the dragon tries to eat the witch). Even the youngest child will not feel threatened by either the characters or the plot.

I have a feeling this is going to be the featured story at my Halloween story hours this year.

Such a fun and clever book!!!!
My girls, ages two and four, love this book and so do I! It's a clever rhyme and a sweet story that teaches a subtle lesson about how doing things for others can ultimately benefit oneself. I also appreciate how everything is not spelled out for the reader and there are some portions near the end that the child has to figure out. Very clever -- my favorite Halloween book this year. Nevertheless, this book is not Halloween-specific, and is definitely appropriate for any time of the year.

Room on the Broom
This is a great book. My 1 1/2 year old loves it and my husband and I love to read it to her. It is delightful in both the verse and the illistrations. My daughter carries it about the house, sometimes she wants it to be read to her and other times she'd rather look at the pictures and read it herself. I have sent it as a gift and recomended it highly. Sometimes when my daughter is napping I pick it up and read it to myself.
