This was a wonderful, sweet book. All about how much a mommy means to their child and how much a mother does for her child. This helps kids to have an understanding knowledge of much effort and love a mother puts into caring for their children.

This book was so funny, and a happy read. Together this family of crocodiles decide to take a camping trip due to boredom. While away they encounter all the stuff that camping is made of. There are rhymes and learning different animals, sounds, numbers, and ideas. In the end they all leave together to go back home and camp out in their own back yard. This was a very cute read!

Me and my son read this book together. He was quick to pick up tha catch phrases and he loved the heavy machine equipment interrated into the story. I recommend this book for readers K-3rd grade and Pre-school as well. It was silly, funny and catchy words.

While drinking and partying with her boyfriend and best friend she finds herself waking up, still intoxicated to her first nightmare. He boyfriends and best friends are sleepin together behind her back! During her madness and still drunk she steals the keys to his sports car and takes off thru the Flordia streets only to come upon a dog before she can stop and it's owner running out in front of her. She hits the man, killing him. She has almost decided to leave the scene when a cop pulls up and she knows it is too late to leave with out being caught now. Facing the problem, the cop falls instantly in love with her and decides to help her out by desposing of the body and providing her with comfort which turns into a marriage. During this marriage, and after finding herself pregnant with his child, she discovers all the lies and secrets her cop husband has been keeping from her. He has been dealing drugs and is life deep in the hidden, corupt world, that is making him silently rich. She decides to run for her protection and that of her un-born child because with her husbands past carries death of all his other wives. She puts together a plan and leaves and with it she is chased and almost killed by a frightening serial killer, only to escape to New York. There she raises her daughter in secret and lies used for their protection. She manages to work her way up in the world and becomes a high profile lawyer, and just when she was feeling that she would never have to look over her shoulders again, that was when her world came crashing down around her. Leaving her daughter behind, she travels back to Flordia for the last time in her life to combat her past full on, so that she may help to free the man that is accused of being the serial killer that supposedly took her life and having been there she knows the man is innocent. So, now she faces her worse fears, her husband, his corupt police department, and worse of all her past and the truth.

This was a thrilling page turner from the first page. A non-stop thrill ride to the end! This book was very hard for me to put down and upon waking in the middle of the night I would find myself picking up the novel just to read another chapter to find out what happens next just to help me go back to sleep and even after I would still have my mind turning with the excitement of what was going to happen next!

This book was a little harder to follow and honestly I can't remember much of it to give a review on. So, all I can say is read at your own risk. Some may like this book, however I did not enjoy it as much as his others and I was not kept hooked on the pages as most of his other books.

I thought that was a really sweet and caring story. My little girl really enjoyed me reading it to her as much as I enjoyed reading it myself. The little baby bear in this story always had a pet stuffed rabbit that he kept with him at all times. He never allowed the toy to leave his side, even while sleeping at night. That morning as he was getting ready for daycare and his mother was going to work there was a storm raging outside. So, in preparation for the weather the mother and son dressed appropriately and left to take him to daycare. On the way there he accidentally dropped his rabbit, whom always accompanied him to daycare, on the ground, so his mother in haste grabbed up the stuffed toy because they were running late, him for daycare and her for work. After having arrived at daycare the mother left in a hurry causing her son to be upset and the first thing he noticed was that he did'nt have rabbit. The daycare worker tried to hush his cries and soothe his tears with positive thinking that his mother was just late for work and did'nt want to get into trouble but that she still loved him. Just as the little bear boy thought that his mother had forgotten him, the door to the daycare blew open with a gust of wind from the storm and this brought fear into the little man's soul, until with the storm came a soaking figure. It was his mother! She rushed over to him and handed him his stuffed rabbit, telling him "Don't forget I love you!," and she hugged him and showered him with kisses. I believed this was a wonderful heart-filled story to tell to any mother's child, just so they remember how much they are loved.

Myself and my little girl was slightly disappointed in this book. The entireity of the book was okay with the help in teaching and learning the letters of the alphabet along with an object that taught how that specific letter coordinated with the picture, however, the only letter that I did not care for was X. Instead of using an object in the storyline that began with the letter X and showing the coordinating picture, they decided to use the word eXtremely, and the facial representation was expressed on the main character in this book, which was the Dog. I felt that explaination and teaching option was inappropriate and not at all correct. The story was a little boring, but short and easy to read. But the way the story was written was slightly confusing as well. The section towards the end of the book that showed the letters of the alphabet and coordinated them with the appropriate pictures was a great teaching method, as my daughter caught on quick and it was easy and fun for her to learn. However, I was overall disappointed in the way this book was done all together.

My 6 yr old daughter loved this book! On each page in alphabetical order was the name and introduction of a new princess with its own individual little rhyme. It was a quick and easy read with cute little sayings that rhymed. We both really enjoyed this book.

I chose this book to read to my little girl, who is 4 yrs old, because she is in love with pirate movies and anything to read about them. However, there are hardly any books or movies that involve females as the main characters in a pirate type setting. This book was exactly what she needed to have read to her. There were no rhyming words in the story line, but the story was short but had several paragraphs on each page. It began with a ship full of drunk, mean, pirates finding a little girl in the ocean on board her own little ship. The mean pirates decided to take her prisoner, in their minds believing that they had a child that had lost her way that was worth lots and lots of money. The little girl, being their captive, tried to tell them to let her go, cause if they knew who her mother was they would be terrified. The mean pirates chose not to believe her and made her work on thier ship. She tore her fingers and hands up by peeling vegtables, scrubbing the deck, shinning the captians boots and so forth. Until, another pirate ship came into view after her being in their captive for a few days. The pirates had no clue that she was writing messages in a bottle and throwing them into the ocean for her family to find, and as she was about to be caught and possibly receive some form of mean, painful punishment, her mother showed up! And all the mean pirates that held her prisoner became very scared, because this little girl's mother was the meanest, toughest pirate on all the seas! Her guards returned her to her mother and they then went to work for her as her mother sent her out on her little ship once again to make the trip she had originally started to her grandmothers home to visit.

This kids book kept the inrest of both my 4 yr old daughter and my 6 yr old son. The rhyming was funny and cute. I think in a way my son was able to connect with the young little T-Rex that was the main character of this story. It was a fast and easy read, with a happy ending, bringing a smile to both my face and the faces of my children.

I thought that for a Disney book, there could have been a little better rhyming to this. However, my son, who is 6 yrs old, enjoyed the way that the dog, Dug, in this book was constantly distracted from what he oringinally set out in search for. He began by claiming to be a very good tracker because his nose could smell and follow any sent that he was currently tracking, which in the beginning of the book he was on the trail of a bird. However, this dog was not very bright, because he was always running into a new smell that he wanted to follow and the fact that every scent, noise, and animal distracted him from what he was searching for originally.

All in all, this was a good childrens book and a quick, easy read, and more appropriate for kids that are in the first part of grade school. My daughter was un-intrested in this book, her attention was unable to stay focused, but my son liked it.

I love these girls when that get together! In this series, the city of San Fransico's women with children need to remain on HIGH ALERT! A killer stalks the streets, hunting for un-suspecting women, alone with their young children. When he finds a female with her children, alone he approaches them, seeming average and normal, using some common excuse that happens to everyone. When the woman becomes somewhat trusting of the stranger that exhibits no threat, he then pulls his gun and shoots them, killing them, and after they are deceased, he then turns his weapon on the children, killing them with no remorse. There is also a female cat burgular loose who robs from the rich in the hopes of being able to build a life including financial support for herself, the woman she loves, and the children of her love that is stuck in a marraige to a man who is not only abusive but also has daydreams of killing off his wife and two children. The detective on these cases spend thier times, in over time, to bring an end to this terror that reins fear on all of those involved...families, police officers, and the people of California.

This was another of Patterson's thrill ride from page to page, and chapter thru chapter. It is a must read that will take the breath from your lungs, cause your heart to skip beats, and bring your worst fears to life.

The search for Eves lost daughter, Bonnie continues with the help of the friends closest to her. Almost, there with the answers as to who killed her daughter, together Eve, her Joe, Catherine & the father Gallo, found a man that holds the answers to the questions that they have all hunted & shed blood, sweat & tears over for a very long time. Just as the moment of truth is about to be told, they find the key to unlock their questions dead. Killed by someone that is just as lethal, stealthy, & efficient in killing as the rest of Eve's Bonnie hunting crew. Now the search continues to find this killer who could possible bring the end to a very long hunt in the search of Bonnies murder. I love the way Bonnie appears to those when they are in need & how she almost leads, by her ghostly body, everyone onto the right path to helping her mother get a little closer to the answers she needs and the ability to bring her little girl home. The heat, passion, & intensity of the hunt between all those involved in the search of Bonnie makes every page that is turned an eye opener, making it hard to put the book down. I am excited for the next novel, Bonnie, to come out soon, and can only hope & pray that this will be the grand finale and Eve can finally bring her daughter home & out her soul to rest, so that Eve & Joe can bring their long search to an end as well.
