How Big Is a Foot?
Rolf Myller
Yearling, 1991
an old favorite
I "met" this book many years ago when I was a student teacher. It has supplemented and enriched many lessons on measurement since that time. Recently, I purchased it in order to pass it on to 2 younger teachers, for their classrooms. Its charm and humor are still ...
Holes
Louis Sachar
Yearling, 2003
Lizards, holes, onions...
I have a lot of respect for a writer who can take holes, lizards and onions and create an incredible story. This book was amazing. It held my interest from the very first page. The characters were lovable and interesting (I particularly liked Zero), the plot was ...
The River (A Yearling book)
Gary Paulsen
Yearling, 1993
The River
The River by Gary Paulson is a fantastic book. Once youstart this book you will not be able to put it down. I would reccomend this book to anyone 10 years an older. I promise that you will love this book: it is detailed, exciting, andventurous, and you really feel ...
Where the Red Fern Grows
Wilson Rawls
Yearling, 1996
BEST BOOK EVER!!!
I have been an avid reader for most of my 59 years, but I STILL say that this is my FAVORITE book of ALL TIME...no matter what genre... It matters not that it is "recommended" for 9-12 year olds, if YOU have not discovered this wonderful story, then you must! So ...
The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy (Penderwicks ...
Jeanne Birdsall
Yearling, 2007
My kids love this book - maybe even as much as I do!
I read with my daughters every night - once or twice a year, we find a book that makes me sneak back into their room late at night to read a few chapters ahead because I just can't wait for the next day. This is one of those books. The sisters are amazing - funny, ...
The City of Ember (Books of Ember)
Jeanne Duprau
Yearling, 2008
A great intro to science fiction for children.....and adults
I bought the book for my daughter when it first came out after reading a number of rave reviews. I thought the premise was so intriguing, I read it myself and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although a great introduction to science fiction for children and teens, the City of ...
The People of Sparks (Books of Ember)
Jeanne Duprau
Yearling, 2005
the people of sparks
The people of sparks is a really good book. It has a lot of suspense. It is not as good as the city of ember, but it follows close behind. If you are looking for a suspensful, non-violent book, this book is for you.
The Sign of the Beaver
Elizabeth George Speare
Yearling, 1994
Sign of the Beaver Book Review
I rmember reading this book as a child, so when I found it again as an adult, I knew I HAD to have it again.
Island of the Blue Dolphins
Scott O'Dell
Yearling, 1987
A Wonderful Classic
This book touched me as a young girl. I think I read it about ten times growing up. It is a wonderful story about courage, survival, isolation, and trust. It is an amazing adventure and I recommend it for all children. The book is deserving of awards but I would ...
The Prophet of Yonwood (Books of Ember)
Jeanne Duprau
Yearling, 2007
Clever, clever, clever
This is a thoughtful book about the dangers of blind belief. I would say its Author is Buddhist rather than a right-wing Evangelical. It helps make the leap from today to 200 years in the future. Good writing, good story. I enjoyed it.
Johnny Tremain

Lynd Ward
Yearling, 1987
Still a wonderful read for children and others
I suppose I had read other history books before I read this book at age 12. However, this is the book that hooked me on history. Our media, books, television, films, are full of the American Revolution and its heroes and heroines now, but back in 1952, things were ...
Hoot
Carl Hiaasen
Yearling, 2006
an eco-friendly, cute tale for young teens
For the legion of Hiaasen fans out there, 'Hoot' is pure Hiaasen but without the raunchiness and ribald humor. It is more whimsical than funny, its plot rather obvious and ultra-wholesome, but it's a very enjoyable read nonetheless. Hiaasen transforms himself into a ...
Nate The Great And The Halloween Hunt (Nate The Great, paper)
Marjorie Weinman Sharmat
Yearling, 1990
The Best Book in the World
This is a good book for Halloween because it takes place on Halloween. It is really, really, really funny. Nate thought his dog was a ghost and that made me laugh. It was my favorite Nate the Great book. It was the funniest book I ever read.
My Father's Dragon
Ruth Stiles Gannett
Yearling, 2005
Allegorical Primer in Dealing with Difficult People
Along with all the other favorable things that have been said about the entertainment value of "My Father's Dragon," its vocubulary, and Elmer's inventive problem-solving, teachers and parents should not overlook the opportunity to discuss how each animal that Elmer ...
Ballet Shoes
Noel Streatfeild
Yearling, 1993
A wonderful and charming story!
I loved this book! It is the story of three orphans, Pauline, Petrova, and Posy, who are adopted by an older man who is gone during most of the book. After going through most of the money that he has left for their care until his return, the three sisters attend a ...
