Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince: Children's Edition (Harry Potter 6)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: J.K. Rowling

July 16, 2005
I queued up for this book on the 15th of July 2005, and it was worth it. This book is definitely one of my favourite Harry Potters, along with COS, GOF and DH.
There was so much going on, unlike OOTP, and I loved all the memories and Dumbledore and Harry looking for the Horcruxes.

It was interesting to see how Malfoy's character developed from book one onwards, and I think that in this book in particular you see what he will become. I thought him being a death eater was a great ... Read More:

I Like This Poem: A Collection of Best-loved Poems Chosen by Children for Other Children in Aid of the International Year of the Child (Puffin Books)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Kaye Webb

October 25, 1979
I also was given this book aged 7 in 1979. It has been read so much that I had my original copy rebound in hardback 10 years ago.

It has a fantastic range of poems which are grouped into different age groups for easy navigation. Accompanying each poem are the child's reasons why they chose to it to be included within the book. These insights, often charming, form a brilliant beginning for discussion about poetry with your child.

From a child's perspective the poems are quite simply ... Read More:

Clarice Bean, That's Me!
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Lauren Child

May 25, 2000
I own this book in a collection of other titles by Lauren Child (The three original Charlie and Lola books, Hubert Horatio, That Pesky Rat etc) and it's equally as charming as any other Lauren Child picture book.

Clarice Bean is a sassy and confident schoolgirl who dreams of a room of her own. In this delightful debut, she introduces us to herself, her family and her noisy, nosy and trouble-making neighbour Robert Granger. The part where her younger brother barges in is not as annoying as suggested, ... Read More:

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5): Adult Edition
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: J.K. Rowling

July 10, 2004
What's all the fuss about? Watch the films instead: that's enough. Only just OK for a quick skim through if there's nothing better on the shelf or in your bag: so much of this book is unnecessary and should've been consigned to any decent editor's bin.

But, one of the most profitable franchises in history, so what do I know? However, look at any chart - what does everyone else know?

Claire has a cut on her knee and she sets off home to tell her mum all about it but on the way she meets many friends and tells them weird and wonderful stories about how she came to have a bad knee including a crocodile attack, being kidnapped by a witch and a misdemeanour with a gorilla. It's a beautifully-illustrated, inspiring tale that will wet a child's imagination. A real joy to read.

Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!: Green Back Book
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Dr. Seuss

January 05, 2004
This book was one of the five that I most enjoyed reading to our four children when they were young. Upon rereading the book, I bgan to realize why I enjoyed it so much . . . as well as why they did.

Children begin with quite vivid imaginations, and education (and the socializing process) quickly discourage their imaginations in favor of coloring between the lines (following the conformist rules). This wonderful book by Dr. Seuss extolls the creative process and liberates the child (and the parent) to ... Read More:

My kids, husband & I adore this book and never tire of it. We all know it off by heart and each of us has a favourite type of pants in the book.

Caution - it is not the sort of book to read at bedtime when trying to settle your children down quietly as you cant help but shout and laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're now off to buy "More Pants"!!!!!!

Dr.Seuss's ABC (Dr Seuss Blue Back Books)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Dr. Seuss

May 06, 2003
My 6 month old loves this book. I think its the rhythm that keeps him so amused.

This book teaches the abc in a fun rhyming way that keeps both parent and baby interested to the end. (Better than the boring 'A is for Apple' stuff)
Also, the simple but bright pictures are perfect for young ones.

Its a shame it was written for the American audience because the end doesn't rhyme (We pronounce Z as 'Zed' not 'Zee') however, don't let this put you off its still brilliant!!!!

A must have for ... Read More:
