THIS BOOK WAS SOOO GOOD! I loved the amount of imagery in this book!! Because this book is so good, i have read it at least 5 times. I loved the way DiTerlizzi described everything; I felt like I was actually there. The way he described the flavors of things made me want to taste them myself, and...
It gets hard at times for our family of 4 children ranging from 12 to 4 years old to find read-alouds we all love, but this one was a winner. Kenny is a young rabbit. They didn't use the term nerdy but that is basically what he was. His dad is a farmer, and comes home one day with the news tha...
The second book of the series is a marked improvement over the first. DiTerlizzi seems to have better found his voice and weaves his story better. So, his background in illustration works to his advantage now, as his description is such that visualization of his words is accomplished with great...
This is the second book in the WondLa trilogy and it did not disappoint. It was as exciting as the first in the series and the characters stayed true to the story line. The new characters did not change the fiber of the story but added to the experience.As she matures, Eva Nine describes her sit...
Third grade readaloud - this book was a BIG hit with my students. Some of the vocabulary went over their heads, but they were so captivated by the story! Every time I had to stop reading for the day I was met with a collective, "NOOOOO! ONE MORE CHAPTER, PLEASE!" And once they found out the schoo...
I picked this book up to read to my boys. We loved the pictures but I was disappointed in the book. The language is much too difficult for my young boys to understand. However, my biggest complaint is that it is the story, The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame which was first published in 1898...
This is my 1# favorite book ever! Most amazing adventure/fantasy book i've ever read. A lot of things blow up and get chopped up, but great book. Definitely a favorite.
Having finished the trilogy, I very much enjoyed it. This last volume answers many of the questions brought up by the earlier two books, but I can't give it full marks.The major fallacy is DiTerlizzi has tried to do too much. Either that or there are materials that have never been released. He...
My Spiderwick-loving heart was delighted to discover that Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi had teamed up again for another small series set in the Spiderwick world. This trilogy begins with a new family, different from the Grace children in character and personality, but similar in messed up famil...
เนื้อเรื่องค่อยๆเผยมาทีละนิดทีหน่อย สำหรับเล่มนี้เราได้รู้ความลับของอาร์เธอร์ สไปเดอร์วิกและได้รู้ว่าหนังสือเล่มนั้นมีความสำคัญยังไง เล่มนี้การผจญภัยไม่ค่อยน่าตื่นเต้นเท่าไร แอบเซงตรงนิสัยของจาเร็ดนิดๆ ยึดติดหนังสือยังไม่เท่าไร พอมีอะไรชอบโทษมัลลอรี่พี่สาวตัวเองนี่สิ ! แต่ชอบฉากตรงที่เด็กๆไปคุยกั...
First of all, I think I should comment on the presentation of this book. I don't normally judge novels based on this but this is a work of art. I'm reading from the hardbacked version and it's certainly a keeper. It looks good on the shelf and is filled with wonderfully imaginative illustrations....
Ahh.. the advantage of having siblings in school. They haul books from their library then I get to read each one they pick. This book's basically just a collection of stories from children who had encountered magical creatures before; and there's this note/analysis attached to each one of 'em (te...
