Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J. K. Rowling
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Chris Horne, June 26, 2009

Very Very interesting. Gives a great description of these animals. This one was good the one on Quidich was not; so this is the Harry Potter school book to buy. Only complaint is no pictures.

Harry Potter Box Set (Books 1-7 ) by J. K. Rowling
Harry Potter Box Set  (Books 1-7 )

Chris Horne, June 26, 2009

More than worth the money. This set will go down as the most popular series in the history of books. Each book has a special place in myt heart as I have them all at least 3 times. This set coming all together in a collectors trunk was a perfect addition to my collection. Every person should read this series. Peopl often bad mouth it without even trying one. If they read any one out of the series they will be spell bound and want to read them all. MUCH better than the movies!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Chris Horne, June 25, 2009

My absolute favorite of the series. It is full of adventure and mystery as well the first look at the true darkness of Lord Voldermort. I was rereading the series preparing for the upcoming movie and quickly realized why this was my favorite of the series. Even if you are not a Harry Potter fan this book is a must read.

Super Guinea Pig to the Rescue by Udo Weigelt
Super Guinea Pig to the Rescue

Very cute and a wonderful lesson for kids of all ages. Hint Hint you other adults. My kids love this book and I actually enjoyed it myself. The colorful expressive language makes this an instant classic. Every child's library must have a copy.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Chris Horne, June 10, 2009

A classic; its bright colors grab the attention of any toddler. All 3 of my kids love it. They have so much fun listening to it the first 20 times and recalling it the next 200 they forget they are learning as well. This is a great book for every child and no library can be complete without it.
