Wonderful.......2007-05-19
My three year old loves books and music. This book is the best of both. Now she can play her music all by herself, while she "reads" the book!
LOVE IT!!!!! .......2006-07-21
I bought this for my soon to be 3 year old daughter... She loves playing with the music player.. All of her cousins fight over this book!! A big hit... Highly recommend..
She changes the discs and dances along... and we read the book together every night. It is easy for her to use the music player without any help.
Book Description
Holly, Carrie, and Amy are hosting a tea party! The girls are busy making
their treats when Robby, Holly's younger brother, presents then with a

appreciates her brother's act of kindness. Readers can join in the fun by
smelling the seven fragrant scents in this storybook!
Book Description
Zara, Ziggy and Zoe are three little witches who live together in Magic Wood, where anything can happen. Cups and saucers wash themselves up, letters sprout wings, a calendar sings a song, the signpost changes direction, and Wizard Wink's school moves from place to place. These seven stories show the little witches' daily doings and their preparations for a Hallowe'en party with Baby Dragon, the Troll family, two little wizard boys and a horrid little witch called Melissa. Punctuated by catchy rhymes and speech bubbles, the stories demand to be read aloud, and with their bright, funny pictures and lively design they are hugely appealing.
Customer Reviews:
Fun and charming!.......2005-06-02
My 6-year old and I just finished this book, and we both loved it. It's so funny and so playfully written, with colorful illustrations to match. I think children of all ages (and anyone who's a kid at heart) will find something to like in this book. Highly recommended!
One of the BEST children's books!.......2003-08-19
My daughters & I looove this book! We would read a chapter a night & none of us could wait to find out what happened next. It's a fun, interesting story with magnificant illustrations. There's a schoolhouse that moves, a signpost that talks & gives directions, a cat named Jelly, frog named Fidget & an owl called Two Hoots. Fabulous book, I highly recommend.
One of the BEST children's books!.......2003-08-18
My 5 & 7 year old daughters & I love this book. It is a funny, very well written story with great pictures. We would read a chapter a night & none of us could wait to see what happened next! It's our new favorite book. I just ordered Adams other book - A Full Year of Stories, & am anxiously awaiting it.

Customer Reviews:
a good idea, but mediocre follow-though.......2003-08-27
-not recommended-
This lavishly illustrated book covers a number of parties based on children's books, but really doesn't pay attention to age-related interests. (how many 12-year-olds would be interested in a Bunnicula party and dressing like a bunny?) Alright for younger children...
Book Description
The gang realizes that they forgot Dog's birthday. Using their ingenuity, Bear, Frog, Sheep, and Pig come up with the letters to make party hats, cake, and a birthday card. But Bear's misspelling creates a monster that may ruin her gift to Dog. Find out how the gang gets the monster to go back to letters so the party can go on.
Book Description

Franklin Celebrates? Celebrate Franklin! :).......2005-12-15
"Franklin Celebrates" is a Franklin TV Storybook based on "Franklin Migrates," a story from the sixth season of the show. (Hasn't yet aired in the United States as of the time of the posting of this review, but will air soon.) In this story, Franklin receives an invitation to a party for a holiday he's never heard of before.
Goose sends Franklin an invitation for a Migration Eve party. Franklin doesn't know anything about the holiday, but is excited to be invited to a party. He asks Mr. Owl about the holiday, but when Mr. Owl tells him that there will be special foods and a special dance, Franklin is kind of scared to go to the party. However, when his Mom says that she's counting him to deliver a blueberry pie to the party, it seems there's no way. Franklin goes to the party and shares in a very special event, one that both he and Goose will remember.
This is one of the strongest stories from the sixth season of the show and it makes for a great book. The characters and general look in the book is that of the TV show, but there are nice visual details and illustrations as well. Naturally, some things are left out or changed a bit, but they really did a good job on this one.
Book Description
The classic account of Custer's Last Stand that shattered the myth of the Little Bighorn and rewrote history books.
This historic and personal work tells the Native American side of Custer's fabled attack, poignantly revealing how disastrous the encounter was for the "victors," the last great gathering of Plains Indians under the leadership of Sitting Bull. 2 maps, 75 illustrations.

Well Written, but not History.......2007-10-03
The late James Welch is ranked among American Indian writers like N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko and Gerald Visenor. His skill as a writer is evident in KILLING CUSTER: THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN AND THE FATE OF THE PLAINS INDIANS which was published in 1994.
Paul Stekler, a talented filmmaker from Massachusetts is listed as the co-author. He persuaded Welch to write a documentary about Custer and the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Stekler hoped to make a film about the battle from "the Indian point of view." Welch, a member of Montana's Blackfeet Tribe from Browning, was "the Indian."
In fact, Welch used to refer to himself that way. He eschewed phrases like "Native American" or "Amerindian" in favor of "Indian." I rather liked that about him.
Welch didn't know much about Custer, or the Battle of the Little Bighorn and he never seemed especially interested in them. He resolved that issue by writing another classical James Welch book. His works were being translated into French and most other European languages and he was even Knighted in France. Sir James was made a Chevalier de l' Ordre des Art et des Lettres of France in 2000.
I have always suspected that Sir James put one over on us unwashed commoners in KILLING CUSTER. The book is well written and, if you like Welch's literary style, you'll like this book. It does not, however, really describe either General Custer, his death, or the battle in which he fell.
So, if you actually want to know something about the General and the Battle, this is the wrong book. That doesn't make it a bad book, just a misleading one. I like KILLING CUSTER, but it impresses me more as another of Sir James' novels rather than a work of history.
Misses the Mark.......2007-08-06
If you have never read an account of the Sioux Wars and Custer's defeat at the Little Big Horn, you will probably enjoy this weak attempt at history. Very early in the book it will become obvious to the trained reader that the author is not well versed on this topic. To students and scholars of this event and time period, you will be very disappointed as there is nothing new in this volume, but much has been left out and slanted for the author's own agenda. For much more objective history I recommend The Custer Reader edited by Paul Hutton and Robert Utley, Centennial Campaign: The Sioux War of 1876, Custer's Luck by Edgar Stewart and for a solid biography on Custer, try Cavalier in Buckskin by Robert Utley.
For True Indian Perspective, Look Elsewhere.......2006-08-15
Unfortunately, this book misses the mark and is of little value. Some of the information on the making of the documentary might be of remote interest to those interested in such things but the author is too enmeshed in the politics of the present and therefore fails to shed light on the past. For that reason, this book will probably have more value many years from now as people look back at the politics of the battlefield in the 1990s but even with that, it is limited as it lacks objectivity. My hardback edition has nice maps on the inside covers and a nice layout of photographs but that is hardly a reason to buy this book.
For those interested in Indian primary source accounts on the Little Big Horn as a means of better understanding them and the battle, see the following:
W.A. Graham, THE CUSTER MYTH, a classic, no Custer library is complete without it.
Greg Michno, LAKOTA NOON, c. 1997, an excellent effort at bringing about a coherent synthesis of testimony and matching it to a plausible timeline of events. Testimony summarzied and augmented by an excellent narrative that keeps everything on track. Maps galore that are highly useful.
Walter Camp, CUSTER IN 76, contains his notes on various interviews he conducted with Indian as well as soldier survivors.
Richard Hardorff and his numerous and excellent books that contribute to our knowledge, especially CHEYENNE MEMORIES OF THE CUSTER FIGHT; LAKOTA RECOLLECTIONS OF THE CUSTER FIGHT; INDIAN VIEWS OF THE CUSTER FIGHT. With the recent placement of markers appproximating the places where Lakota and Cheyenne warriors fell, his book entitled HOKAHEY! INDIAN CASUALTIES OF THE CUSTER FIGHT is essential to have when visiting the battlefield.
Good effort, but..........2005-12-06
The author perhaps should confine his efforts to Blackfeet history ---rather than stretching to include them in a theatre in which they had no part.
If anything was interesting in this book, it would have to be how Custer continues to shape the identities of those who have agendas to push and paradigms to sell. Certainly, the historical perspective was biased to the point that it became just more stereotypical static.
Holding-up a Mirror --- and some don't like what they see.......2005-07-25
During WWII, they were called "Einsatzgruppen." Long a student of both WWII and 19th Century US history, the parallels in some respect stand-out clearly - and Custer buffs don't like it.
The authors present a compelling synposis of the "cleansing" of the native tribes from the northern plains. Especially interesting is the presentation of the subjugation of the Blackfeet nation in the years prior to the Army's (Sherman and Sheridan's War Dept.) on the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho.
Custer was an instrument - a product of his time, but a willing instrument nonetheless. The shameful actions of this period can only be healed with honest accounting - and thats what the authors accomplish with this work.
The narative is highly readable, engaging, and written with a clarity and perspective of the Native peoples. Yes, it contains commentary - sometimes scathing. On the other had, I defy anyone to find a historical work on NAZI Germany in which such editorializing is absent.
