Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2 - Unabridged 8 Audio CD Set - Adult Edition)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: J.K. Rowling

July 03, 2006
There is no doubt that Stephen Fry is entirely the MOST suitable person for the job of reading ANY story for an audio book. His voice is perfectly suited to story telling and he is able to define and animate the characters in his own colourful way. It's a good audio book and this is very much attributed to the talented Mr Fry.

I am disappointed however, that the indexing for the CDs are in such a pickle! Whilst I understand that copying CDs and music is frowned upon, is it not feasible ... Read More:

The Tickle Book
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Ian Whybrow

May 05, 2006
This book is excellent. My brother-in-law bought this along with "The Bedtime Bear" as a Christmas present when my now almost 3 year old son was about 5 months old. The book got put away and forgotten about at the time as he was too young. We found the book last week and got it out as he is now big enough for it. I have never seen a reaction from him quite like this one! He loves reading anyway (always insisting on reading it himself) but this book is without a doubt his favourite. I have lost track of how ... Read More:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) [Children's Edition]
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: J. K. Rowling

July 21, 2007
This thing, the deathly hallows, the beginning wasn't the best beginning, but... I could not stop reading it. I don't understand why people think the ending is disappointing. The Nineteen years later could be expanded into a book, maybe, but, if J.K doesn't then that's all we really need to know to end the Harry potter phenomenon. Hopefully she will deliver another H.P book, because I know, I know, it won't end here.

A Bear Called Paddington
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Michael Bond

I lose track of age suitability for books for my grandcildren especially as they are in Australia, and other children I buy for, so the mention of ages in other reviews helped me with age suitability.

Slinky Malinki (Viking Kestrel picture books)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Lynley Dodd

July 04, 2002
My child cannot get enough of books; we stumbled across Lynley Dodd quite early in his life and by now have collected nearly everything she has written. While her books range from very good to excellent, Slinky Malinki is just genius: frankly the best children's book I've ever read (I must confess that I am a bit of a book snob, so this is a very high compliment).

At 18 months my child was captivated by the illustrations and events, and the ending fully met his need for drama and excitement. As a parent, I will ... Read More:

Richard Scarry's a Day at the Airport (Random House Picturebacks)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8

I've bought a number of Richard Scarry books for my son and they are all really good, but they are written in American and I do find this irritating.

Mental Arithmetic Book 1
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: T R Goddard, J W Adams, R P Beaumont

2000-03
Having met my daughter's maths teacher who showed me this book to be the foundation of her teachings to all the children in Year 3 (7/8 year olds) I knew that this, together with Books 2 to 6, would be the ideal support for homework assistance. Until I bought this from Amazon, I had no guidelines at all and didn't know if the arithmetic I was 'teaching' at home was too hard, too easy or just plain useless. Now with this book I have the perfect assistant, because I know that the specific topics covered and the level of difficulty is exactly matched ... Read More:

The True Story of the Three Little Pigs (Picture Puffin)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Jon Scieszka, Lane Smith

October 31, 1991
The True Story of the three little pigs was used greatly within my 1st year drama class at secondary school (Ages 11-12)and they loved it. I used the story as a context to do with stereotypes which lead on to many drama activities involving lawyers defending Mr Wolf, the pig community and witnesses of Mr Wolf. This lead on to a court case and even 't.v shows and documentaries' being created by the pupils to re-build or tarnish Mr Wolf's reputation!! An excellent story which created many meaningful, fun and diverse lessons!!
