Children's Issues

I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. My order came a lot faster than I thought and it's exactly what I ordered. I love the Harry Potter books and now I have a nice set for my classroom. Thank you!

My problem was that these books were missing chunks of pages! We didn't notice it until book 4 of 6, but 80+ pages were gone! Now, Amazon was great about replacing the set adn paying for me to return the messed-up set. This is just a warning to...

First, the 3 stars are not about the novels, but this particular edition.

6 books for $32 is just unbeatable. If you haven't read the books, and money is an issue, you should definetly buy this set. But beware, there's a reason for...

This is my favourite book yet! I can't believe the things that happened in it... Dumbledore and Snape... I supposed it was taken for granted that Snape could be trusted... to everyone perhaps... it is so sad... this book is amazing and...

This book was wonderfully disappointing but, after all the trash she has been putting out in the last couple of years, I have to give her credit for being consistent. Another ultimately disappointing try by an author who lacks any depth or meaning...

The sixth book in Rowling's sieries is a huge letdown as compared to the other books--but it is still definately worth reading. I only marked it low, because I found it falling far short of her previous novels.

This book focuses much...

Walter is a dog with a problem, and a rather noticable one at that. Put it frankly, he farts

A lot.

It seems nothing will keep Walter smelling sweet, or at least keep him from smelling bad, but Water manages to do things his own way and come...

I'd echo the comment of another reviewer--the story is cute, the illustrations charming, but the plot is a blatant rip-off of Dav Pilkey's 1994 book, Dog Breath. William Kotzwinkle is one of my favorite authors and usually comes up with original...

This is a classic library book: I wish I'd borrowed it from the library instead of buying it.

Sure, it's funny for the preschool set. The drawings are cute. But I'd rather check this type of book out from the library for free than buy it.

This is a book about Harry Potter, who finds himself
in a parallel world of magic.

I am 9 years old and I think this is one of the best books I have read
and I have read a lot of books!! This is definetely the book of the year!

The...

I must be the only person in the world to not love this book. But I didn't. I thought it began well - with the horrible adoptive parents and their child - but then I felt the book was sooo predictable. And when it wasn't predictable, it was...

I agree with those who say "what's the big deal?" The book is cute and witty at times but, except for the lovable harry, the characters are cliche and the writing pedestrian. In some ways the Animorph series is more imaginative and reflective of...

Two more books for all you muggles out there that just can't wait to learn more about the world of Harry Potter. Now, not only can kids spend more time reading, but they can play school with thier fav. persons school books.

These "books" would more aptly be called "pamphlets." There was much ado about Rowling writing these for charity, but, really, how hard was that? She probably wrote these in a couple of afternoons. Now, if Rowling donated the proceeds from the...

I've been a great fan of the Harry Potter books since the beginning. Waiting for a new book to come out was always very hard.

Now, thanks to Comic Relief, there are two new books, closely related to the Harry Potter series:

- Quidditch through...

I really loves these dinosaur books. I have a 3 year old girl who loves dinosaurs and these are great. The books in this series all have a lesson to learn, either moral, or academic. Awesome set!!

The drawings are outstanding and my grandchildren love telling me who each of the dinosaurs are. The story seems to work well, always asking questions that seem to have a NO for an answer. Children seem to like to say NO. The manners being...

I consider myself lucky to have gotten an advance reading copyof the third and newest Harry Potter book (don't worry Scholastic, I'll still buy a copy!), and without giving away any of the incredible plot, it's absolutely wonderful. J.K. Rowling...

I've read some good books(farenheit 451, Pet Cemetary, A tale of two cities), and then there are the bad ones. This was a bad one. The book would have been beter if it was shorter. After 150-200 pages the rest is mind-numming babble. I would...

One of the best fantisy series since Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately the author uses "d**n" and "cr**" as in "I won't take any cr** from him" in this one. D*m* was used in the others too. My nine year old loves to read these. So my advise is...

I absolutely loved the book, it was a real page turner. If you like your sleep I suggest you not read this book, because it will keep you up all night. ... It was a wonderfully written book full of suspence and mystery that kept me on the edge of...

The new Harry Potter book was a dissapointment. Half the bookwas unneeded,and pointless.It was way too evil and sinister. I thinkthat J.K Rowling should have kept in mind who her audience was and what they would have enjoyed when she wrote the...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a book that will succeed regardless of its quality. Hence writing a review for it is fundementally a futile task. And that is OK. This is fundamentally a nice, solid, engaging, and very cute adventure and...

This book is a learning expierience for any young child that has a big imagination. The suspense is unbearing. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a book that you won't be able to put down. I recomend this book to any person that loves to...
