Sunlight mixes a gentle and interesting story with a little bit of science and everyday sunlight experiments. I love the simple colors and the cozy, vintage feel. This would be a fantastic introduction to the wonders of light for a young, school-age child. I really enjoyed it as an adult and I only wish I had a young one to read this to—my children are all grown up :( This would make a lovely gift for any parent or child that loves vintage books. ...more

The lovely illustrations in this very vintage Little Golden Book are entirely worth the read. Although I found the story of Mary Poppins not quite as fun, lighthearted and entertaining as the Disney movie, this excerpt from the book is a good one.
Mary Poppins takes the children on a little excursion to buy some gingerbread cookies with interesting results. It's a little ridiculous and a bit like a fairy tale, but I really liked it. Happy to have this book in my children's book collection. ...more

This was my first time reading a Meg book and I really liked it! Even though this is the fifth book in the series, I had no trouble following the story of Meg and her friend, Kerry visiting Meg's Uncle Hal in Maine.
The writing was fresh and lively, with a more "grown up" feel to it. Meg and Kerry are young-ish, but Holly Beth Walker's tone was a little bit more mature and similar to YA. The themes, though, are purely middle grade—a mystery including black cats, witches and an ominous cave that could be used for casting evil spells.
This book was totally worth the couple of dollars I spent and, just today, I found another Meg book for only three dollars. The Mystery of the Black Magic Cave was a treat to read at the beginning of autumn and I will definitely be looking for more to read.
If you love a middle grade mystery book that is suspenseful and interesting, give the Meg series a try! ...more
