  • A Review of The Boxcar Children Written by Gertrude Chandler Warner
    Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny are four kids on an adventure to run away from a grandfather they have never met when their parents have somehow died.

  • Book Review: Five Children And IT by E Nesbit
    If you can have one wish, what would it be? This could be a tough question to answer. How about this: If you know a fairy who can grant your every wish, what will you do? These are the questions that confronted five children - Cyril, Robert, Anthea, Jane, and Hilary, the baby who is also fondly called as Lamb - when they discovered a Psammead (pronounced "Sammyad"), or sand-fairy, in a gravel pit near their house. With the primary characters now named, it is fairly easy to infer who the five children are and the "it" referred to in the title of this book.

  • Starlight Sailor
    Starlight Sailor is a wonderful story I found through Barefoot Books Publishers. It's about a little boy (and his dog) who takes an adventurous journey across the water in his paper boat to a far away land. My three grandsons love to engage in pirate stories, fishing, sailing and everything about the sea.

Newsflash

It is very sad to note that the great author died on March 17 2010- he lived a long and fruitful life and will be missed by all his fans.

Sid Fleischman, a Newbery Award-winning author who never set out to write for children but flung himself into the field on a dare, died at his home in Santa Monica, Calif., on March 17, the day after his 90th birthday.  The cause was cancer, his son, Paul, said. Presented annually by the American Library Association, the Newbery Award is widely regarded as the Pulitzer Prize of children’s literature.

Sid Fleischman received his in 1987 for "The Whipping Boy" (1986, illustrated by Peter Sis),

His other great work - By The Great Hornspoon, is a great book for all school children and adults and an absolutely fabulous homeschooling read. In this book, Sid managed to portray the harsh times of the California Gold Rush with gentleness and humor.

Mr. Fleischman’s work was praised by critics for its sly humor, carefully controlled suspense and dexterous sleights-of-hand  qualities that had served him well in his previous careers as a magician, Hollywood screenwriter and novelist for adults.
