Thanks for stopping by my bookstore. I love to read and sing and these are some of my favorites. To find out more about these books or CD's or to order any, just click on the book cover or the name. If you don't see what you want here, click on the Amazon.com logo above or use the search engine at the bottom of the page.
I love the American Girl Dolls and the books are the best part of the whole collection. They teach you about history and about what it was like to live before microwaves and TV. Samantha is my favorite, but you can get all of the books and more American Girl stuff by using the search engine below. |

Rapunzel by Paul O. Zelinsky. This book is "breathtakingly beautiful"; those are my mom's words. I first saw this at the library and I just had to have it. The story is easy enough for me to read and I'm in the first grade. He also wrote Rumpelstiltskin which is just as beautiful. |

Baba Yaga and Vasalisa the Brave By Marianna Mayer Illustrated by K.Y. Craft |
I checked this one out of the library twice because I loved it so much. It's kind of a cross between Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel except the witch turns out to be OK in the end and Vasalisa marries the Czar of Russia. This book has really beautiful pictures like the two above. |

We have three copies of this book at our house. One of my mom's friends sent it to each of us as a baby gift. It's a really sweet story about a bunny who asks his mommy what she would do if he ran away and she tells him all the ways she would find him and all the ways she loves him |

The movie was fun but the book is better. Last summer we couldn't even find it at the library it was so popular. When we finally bought it, it was too hard for me to read (I had just finished Kindergarten), so my mom read it to me. I'm going to try it myself this summer. |

This is the BEST book for learning to read. We got it when I was in Kindergarten and now I can read every thing in it. It has jokes and "classic"(mom's word) stories and picture stories and poems and so much stuff. I'm going to use it to teach my little brothers to read. |

We used this book for a reading book in first grade. It's a really nice story about a little house in the country that is curious about the big city, but when the city grows up around it, the little house gets really sad. Then one day a lady, whose grandma lived in the house, finds it and has it moved back to the countryside. My whole class loves the book. |

This book is about a really, really bad day. Sometimes I have bad days, but nothing like this. You can't feel sorry for yourself when you read about poor Alexander. |

I have these stories in a set of little books but they are easy to lose. I like all the Beatrix Potter stories and they are easy to read. The pictures are so funny because all the characters look like real animals dressed up in doll clothes. Also, if you don't know who Peter Rabbit is, you feel dumb. Mom says he's a "cultural icon" whatever that means. |
