KING SOLOMONS RING.
I first read this book about 25 years ago and it has been my favorite re-read. If one loves animals, one cannot help but love Dr. Lorenz' stories. I highly recommend it.
The MOON CAME TOO
When a little girl learns that she is going on a trip to visit her Grandmother, she gathers everything that she loves and packs the car full. Some of her prized possessions consist of a a tattered ragdoll, a fishing rod, a ball and bat, and "hats! hats! I'll need two or three!". When she arrives at her Grandmothers, she remarks "Grandma,look up! The moon came too!" This little girl will appeal to many young readers and listeners because of her many interests. She is a high-energy individual, yet quietly reads her favorite books with a flashlight in the car. She is a little tom-boy who fishes and gets muddy, yet likes to dress up in a girly bonnet. Some of her companions are her pet cat and her stuffed bunny doll - and of course, she adores her Grandma! The "Moon Came Too" is a cleverly written story and has an enjoyable rhyme and rhythm!
The MOON CAME TOO
A little girl takes almost everything she owns with her to Grandma's house. "An owl that hoots and a horn that toots, maybe one puzzle will do." She brings almost everything imaginable. At the end, she realizes that even the moon came with her to Grandma's house.The story lets kids know how fun it can be to go to Grandma's house, and how comforting it is to see the moon, just as she sees it at her own house.The illustrations are fun, showing Mom's car packed with "stuff" that the little girl has to bring to Grandma's.
The MOON CAME TOO
I have been looking for this out of print book for a few years, and actually purchased from another supplier who sent the book with pages ripped out! This is a great children's book that my daughter loved growing up. I had it sent fro Christmas, and she was thrilled, and now will be able to share it with her children. Thank you for a perfect transaction - everything came as promised.
The MOON CAME TOO
"The Moon Came Too" is a delightful books that will appeal to little boys and little girls. I know because we've been reading it to both in my family since it was a new book. I have many fond memories of my mom, my dad or me reading it to my brother when he was a little guy who wanted to take everything he owned with him on visits to our grandparents. My mom is a kindgarten teacher who uses the book in her classroom as well. Yesterday afternoon I got out the same copy of the book to read to my three-year-old. She loved it! In fact we've read it five times in 24 hours. The book's gentle pace and vivid watercolors with lots of details are charming. The pictures are full of details to notice and enjoy. Today, for instance, we noticed that Sam Cat, the family's gray cat, comes along for the whole trip. This is a book that holds up well to multiple readings (an important consideration for parents) and celebrates the excitement and love that should fill a roadtrip to Grandma's house. The book is dated perhap by the Grandmother's stereotypical appearance as noted in the description of the book but more noticably is that the little girl is only wearing a lap belt and isn't in a booster seat (a reflection of the safety norms of 1987). Those two things do nothing to take away from this sweet, fun, energetic and gentle book.
How Could God Allow Suffering and Evil? (Tough Questions)
This is a great book for an adult Sunday School class or Bible study group. It is easy to follow and relates to current issues. We have had great discussion based on the book. Insightful and eye-opening. Great short study!
