Shiloh
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Aladdin, 2000
A well loved classic that deserves your time and affection...
`Shiloh' was one of my favorite novels as a young boy. I can still remember reading it in school and being fascinated with the concept, with the storyline and underlining morals that forced me to think about things in a way I never had before. The overall plot may ...

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Bill Martin Jr., John Archambault
Aladdin, 2000
Educatioal and Well Written
What a FUN book! My two-year-old son loves this book and I love to read it to him. The words have a great cadence and I find myself singing each page! The pictures are very primitive which is nice (no sensory overload) and it helps young children to learn their ...

Frindle
Andrew Clements
Aladdin, 1998
A story to warm the heart of very child with a curious and rebellious streak
This book should be a classic, it demonstrates how a child can rebel against his teachers and yet do it in a positive way. Nick Allen is a bit of a troublemaker in school; he has many "good" ideas and is always trying them out. He reaches fifth grade, and the only ...

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Judi Barrett
Aladdin, 1982
A book I read as a child and now my children adore!
As a young girl I read this book over and over, picturing myself as a citizen of Chew-and-Swallow, a town where it rains tomato soup and hot dogs, pancakes and eggs over easy, orange juice and spaghetti with meatballs.
I loved the detailed illustrations and the humor. ...

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Judith Viorst
Aladdin, 1987
A great way to soothe the bruises of life with your child!
My children just loved this story and who doesn't think they want to run away at one time or another? It is a day that each of us have and even the little one next to you understands that. The pen and ink illustrations are fantastic. I used to buy them by the dozen and ...

Hatchet
Gary Paulsen
Aladdin, 2006
Paint with Words
Gary Paulsen "paints with words" as he writes a descriptive story about a fifteen year old boy contending with his parent's divorce. This book is rivoting. The reader wants to read on as a young boy learns through discovery about how to survive in the Canadian ...

The Homework Machine
Dan Gutman
Aladdin, 2007
teacher of grades 4-5
Kids in grades 4-5 will love this book! It is a bit too easy for middle school kids, but a fun read none the less. It is written unlike most other chapter books. It is written more like an interview conducted with each character as the school year progresses and ...

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh (Aladdin Fantasy)
Robert C. O'Brien
Aladdin, 1986
Insipid cover currently shipping
The cover art shipping now (July '08) is the beige one in the alternate images -- a useless and dull cover compared with the exciting view of Mrs. Frisby and the crow Jeremy against blue on display at this page. I wish I'd bought this in a bookstore instead, and might ...

Roxie and the Hooligans
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Aladdin, 2007
Survival of the fittest (i.e. person with the largest ears)
Shhh! Don't make so much noise. I don't want you to scare it off. What I am holding in my hand, at this very moment, is something so rare and precious that I'm afraid to make any sudden movements for fear of startling it. What we are witnessing is the very rarely ...
