I LOVE all things about the Titanic, so I was excited to read this to my son when he brought it home from school. But, he doesn't know anything about the Titanic and I think was a bit worried by seeing the ship sinking in the book! For older kids, I think it would be a great book - lots of references to the way things were back then, and both in the beginning and back of the book there is a lot of information. I loved, though, that there were actual pictures of "Master" (Douglas) and Polar through the books, and photos of places they visited and things that they saw....more

What? Another Clifford book? How many does the school own?!? I remember being a huge Clifford fan myself at his age, but now, not so much! ;)

The book was same old Clifford...a bit difficult for me to read because half of it was a song, so I improvised the tune and sorta made it into a hip-hop version, haha! There is music and lyrics in the back though. Good story about trying to cheer up a friend....more
Cute book about a little dinosaur that is different from all the Maiasauruses it lives with...and in the end is a hero. I would have probably given itCute book about a little dinosaur that is different from all the Maiasauruses it lives with...and in the end is a hero. I would have probably given it 5 stars, but it was a bit far-fetched (I know, I know...it's a kids book, lol). They talked about real types of dinosaurs, and then threw in a "dragonsaurus" that was afraid of light, which Dazzle was able to defeat by reflecting the light of his spines and into the dragonsaurus' eyes. Huh?...more

Mason really liked this book, because he's been through all the things Franklin was going through in the book...and really brought home to him that he IS brave every time he goes in, even though he cries....more

Anyway, the stIt's fire safety week here, and my son came home from Kindergarten with this book he found at the library. I'm sure it was recommended. Anyway, the story is OK, but the back page is AWESOME for parents to teach their children about fire safety - a list of tips of things to do if there is a fire. So for that it's getting 5 stars....more
