Mem Fox
Harvest Books, 2008
Reading Magic
I was hooked on this book from page one! The powerful and positive impact of reading aloud to children, and continuing to read to children as they age, is discussed throughout this book. Reading aloud is validated as time well-spent in the classroom and at home. The ...

Where Is the Green Sheep? (Horn Book Fanfare List (Awards))
Mem Fox, Judy Horacek
Harcourt Children's Books, 2004
Love it
Our two-year old has fallen in love with this book. We checked out from the library and after renewing it three times bought our own copy. It teaches kids about opposites or things in relation to each other in a really cute way.

Whoever You Are (Reading Rainbow Book)
Mem Fox
Voyager Books, 2006
We Love Who You Are, Mem Fox.
I owned this book before I even had children. I used it in the classroom as a teaching tool. To drive the point home, I would have the children try to mix piant together to make their shade of skin pigment. They were amazed at how no one is white, and no one is black. ...

This one should get 6 stars!
As an early childhood professional, I am always looking for new books to share with children, their parents & teachers. When I saw this one reviewed in the National Association for the Education of Young Children's magazine, I immediately ordered several copies. I have ...

A great bedtime book
My 2 year old son loves this book. Great illustrations, just enough words to tell the story but not get too boring, lots of things to discover and point out in the pictures.

Harriet, You'll Drive Me Wild!
Mem Fox, Marla Frazee
Voyager Books, 2003
YOU MUST GET THIS FOR YOUR TODDLER!!!
When my son was born, my perfect daughter became a hellion, and I became a screaming lunatic. We have all visited the dark side, I think.
So, I bought this book about a two-ish to three-ish year old who makes a lot of big mistakes. She is not naughty, just little ...

The Magic Hat
Mem Fox
Voyager Books, 2006
Mem Fox is a favorite!
I had to find out why this great book got such a low rating - I couldn't disagree more with the reader from NY!
My kids aged 2, 5, & 7 all love this book, and it reads well at all their different levels. My 2 year old smiles each time the "Oh, the magic hat, the ...

Guess What? (Voyager Books)
Mem Fox
Voyager Books, 1995
Absurd Negative Reviews -- This Book is Marvelous
I have to laugh at some of the reviewers here. Clearly this book is not meant for 3 year olds, in the same way not all Roald Dahl books are meant for young children. This in NO WAY reduces the entertainment factor and values shown in this book. So it doesn't fit ...
