Excellent suspense through the whole book.
John Vornholt really impressed me with this first rate teen thriller based on the tv show. This book didn't take me that long to read - thats only because I couldn't put it down. I strongly reccommend this to teens and Buffy fans.

It is about Buffy, Willow and Xander eager to take a break from slaying vampires and what-not so they take a trip to the carnival that's come to Sunnydale, only to find out the two sexiest carnies are actually werecoyotes!

Awesome book - don't let this fly by!

Coyote Moon
This book is probably one of the best book I've read of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Series. It's filled with suspense and keeps you reading til the end. It is a very good book for Buffy fans. So read it!

The Skinwalkers Come to Sunnydale
COYOTE MOON by John Vornholt is the third Buffy The Vampire Slayer book and the second all-new adventure. Like the previous volumes this was a very well-done book. I don't know if the series has a better bible than others but so far all of the characters act just as they would be expected to on the show.

At the end of Summer a carnival comes to Sunnydale. Shortly after that, coyotes are seen closer to town than usual. Buffy starts to get the wiggins about the carnival and finds some minor evidence that they are involved in something not normal. Eventually a plot involving werecoyotes and skinwalkers is revealed. Unfortunately for the townsfolk the plot involves the carnies seducing and slaughtering a number of Sunnydale's young folk. In the end Buffy triumphs and curses are lifted.

While this volume is quite good it is not canonical. The events take place at a time that we now know Buffy was not in Sunnydale. This puts it in a class with many of the Star Trek books. So if you consider this an old episode you missed then it works out quite well. Unfortunately these books are a little hard to find because they are being marketed towards young adults (hah, my 78 year-old father is one of the show's biggest fans).

Tony Hillerman lite
I savored this book a little longer than the previous 2. I loved the scene where Willow was playing poker. This book is Tony Hillerman lite. If you've read any of his mysteries, you'll know what I mean.

REVIEW

Coyote Moon, the second original Buffy novel, is a solid if unspectacular story about the arrival of werecoyotes in Sunnydale (disguised as a carnival) and their attempt to resurrect their long-dead leader. Buffy spends most of the novel attempting to gain proof of the carneys' true nature (with Giles' help), while Xander and Willow are seduced by two of the carneys. Xander's terribly luck with the ladies holds out, as his new girlfriend Rose simply wants him and Willow to be the human sacrifices necessary to resurrect Spurs Hardaway, a Buffalo Bill Cody type of Western performer who died exactly a century ago and discovered the secrets of "skinwalking" from an unnamed plains Indian tribe, which allowed him and the other performers to become an animal by donning its skin. After being captured by the werecoyotes, Buffy manages to escape with the aid of Hopscotch, a renegade werecoyote who wants her to stop the resurrection because he was the one who secretly killed Spurs Hardaway to begin with. In her own inimitable style, Buffy manages to arrive at the resurrection just in time to drive a silver knife through Spur Hardaway's werebear form and save the day.
The novel has some strong elements. Xander's teen lust for Rose is depicted well, as are the feelings of love and hurt that Willow feels everytime Xander fails to notice how much she loves him. Also well played is a scene where Buffy interrupts a Xander-and-Rose makeup session, prompting Xander to tell Buffy off. Other highpoints include Xander trying to grow a goatee (failing miserably) and some interesting use of Native skinwalker stories.
Overall, Coyote Moon is a competent addition to the Buffy line and has the feel of a first season episode. It's by no means a page turner, but it also doesn't prompt groans of dismay like some other books in the series. ... Read more

Book Description

Prehistoric Hysteria

Buffy Summers and her gang know that Sunnydale is a haven for outsiders, whether of the supernatural or strictly adolescent variety. Shy transfer student Kevin Sanderson is no exception. But Kevin instantly finds a mentor in Daniel, a paleontologist and fellow dino-phile at the Sunnydale Museum of Natural History. When Buffy starts hearing rumors of alligators in the sewers, she has to wonder about Kevin and Daniel's hobbies.

Meanwhile, the Slayerettes are having extracurricular excitement of their own. Alysa, a hotshot talent agent, wants to represent the Dingoes, and she's offering the Scooby Gang fame and fortune. If she's legit, it could be Oz's big break. But Buffy's too busy to run a background check -- Daniel and Kevin have reanimated an ancient creature with a new agenda...an agenda that begins and ends with the destruction of the Slayer.... ...

Demon-Powered Dinos
Remember Buffy's battle with the Mayor a' la Snake? She had all of Sunnydale High and a lot of dynamite to back her up. This time the action pits the Buffinator against all the muscle of T-Rexes, and all the craftiness of a conniving demon. And this time, Buffy's more on her own. This is not to say the Scoobies, especially much-missed Oz aren't players, but the action here is top-notch. Yet what makes this book really roar are the original plot and character development. This isn't just a make-a-buck story plugged into an episode outline. The author has really developed the new characters while incorporating our standard faves, and she knows how to make rising action carry a plot. A must-read for die-hard Buffy fans, those just arriving at Sunnydale, and everyone looking for a novel this Halloween season.

Buffy Meets Jurassic Park
In this book, Buffy must stop a quartet of re-animated dinosaurs from releasing a dangerous demon into the world. The storyline was good, and the book itself well-written, but it didn't feel much like a Buffy book. Buffy and Oz were used fairly well, but the rest of the Scooby Gang (including Giles) were pretty much window dressing. The sub-plot about Oz's band was interesting, but it needed to be developed further. The author seemed very comfortable with the plot and the original characters (Kevin and Daniel), but not so comfortable writing for the series' charactes. If you like dinosaurs and such, it's a good read, but if your main interest is in reading about Buffy and her friends, you may well be disappointed.

Bronto Buffy
There are some places no Slayer should ever go. Jurassic Park is one of them. Of all the Buffy books, this is the weakest by far. Aside from the odd juxtaposition of Buffy and dinosaurs, the book just plods along like a brontosaurus, itself.

Buffy the Demon Dinosaur Slayer and Oz the Boy Wonder
Any Buffy the Vampire Slayer novel that offers up demon dinosaurs is already starting ahead of the game. After all, who would not be salivating at the very idea of the Slayer and the Scobbey gang taking on a trio of T. Rexes? But what really impressed me in Yvonne Navarro's novel was her characterization of Kevin Sanderson, a shy transfer student to Sunnydale High for has an avid interest in paleontology in general, and dinosaurs in particular. As presented in the first half of "Paleo," Kevin is arguably one of the best developed new characters to pop up in a Buffy book. Unfortunately, Kevin pretty much disappears from the last half of the novel as the dinosaurs take over and the action takes off. The other strength of "Paleo," giving Oz a prominent role second only to Buffy in the tale, actually cuts both ways. We all appreciate Navarro's attempt to put Oz into the spotlight, but, ironically, the more he talks, the less he sounds like Oz. Every time we get into Oz's mind, I feel like an alien presence and get worried Angel is going to show up and pop me one in the mouth (After you read "Paleo," you will get that one). As we know from the "Earshot" episode, Oz is as reticent in his internal monologue as he is in actual conversation. Clearly this problem is unique to the character rather than to Navarro as a writer and simply underline how difficult it is to open up Oz as a character. Overall, "Paleo" gets off to a great start, but abandoning Kevin's character in the second half and having the sub-plot regarding Alysa Bardrick trying to sign Dingoes Ate My Baby to a professional contract disappear until the epilogue takes away a lot of that momentum. However, as the epilogue clearly proves, the person Oz works really well with is Angel. Navarro's scenes featuring Oz and Angel together click throughout the book and definitely seems worth pursuing, if not in Sunnydale, then in L.A.

Navarro knows her Buffy!
After reading a few reviews here at amazon, I decided to pick up Paleo at my local book store. I am a huge fan of Buffy books and needed to add it to my collection.

What a wonderful surprise! Yvonne Navarro really knows her Buffy as far as the mythology. She built an intriguing story that had everything we expect from Buffy, including dinosaurs; and she executed it well.

At first look I thought this story was going to be very Buffy-light. The first half of the story focuses on Kevin Sanderson and Daniel Addison. Kevin recently moved to Sunnydale from Chicago due to his father's increading health problems, and hates the change. In Chicago he was big in dinosaurs and he can't seem to find anyone in Sunnydale he shares his interest; until the fatal day Daniel gives Kevin's Earth Studies class a lecture on dinosaurs.

Daniel is a college student who works at the Sunnydale Museum. While doing some busy work he comes across a long-deceased paleontologists charred journal. Within the contents, a spell that can ressurect dinosaurs. Once four dinosaurs *are* resurrected, the one who ressurected them will be granted a single wish. Being greedy, Daniel wants to try and bring some dinos back to life. But how?

When Daniel finds out Kevin snagged a dinosaur egg from one of his many paleontologist expeditions, he convinces the high school student to help him with his "experiment". Once the first dinosaur is resurrected, things go haywire. After saving a neighbors pet dog from a Timimus, and later killing a T-Rex in the alley behind The Bronze, Buffy realizes she must battle a possible army of prehistoric beasties.

The secondary story of this novel ties in with the main plot. A young woman is interested in becoming the Dingoes Ate My Babies band manager. She is a smooth-talker and has Oz, Devon, and the rest of the band very interested. Of course not everyone is as they seems!

Navarro does a wonderful job explaining the battles in these stories. She has a very precise way of wording things so there is no doubt of what is happening. She also does a great job at sticking to the story. She doesn't get wrapped up in plot upon plot, and she moves the story along at a steady pace.

My only major complaint is I didn't feel the Buffy characters were in this book. It could have worked just as well if it were anyone. At times the characters acted illogically for our favorite Scoobies, and there were times Navarro didn't quite capture their voices correctly, especially with Oz and Angel. There were also times she resorted to the "Xander is a goofball" theory, which kept him rather one-dimensional.

However, I was able to overlook these discrepencies because the action was so wonderful; and her moral of being a leader, not a follower, is very tried and true. Oz has a great part in this book and is actually in the center of the action, not standing aside and observing. If you are an Oz fan and miss him, this book is for you!

Dinosaurs truly make a great villian for Buffy, and the twist Navarro threw in was an extra delight to the reader. I'm definitely glad I added it to my collection! ... Read more

all Kipper books are great!
my grandchildren love Kipper....my only question is what kind of dog do the readers think he is?? I can't seem to even find the answer on the internet.

Cool, cute and original
Okay, so a book that shows the numbers one through ten is nothing to get really excited about. Still, I really loved this one. Kipper is very cute and he gets to count neat things. Most books count fire engines or dots. Boring. Kipper plays with snails, hedgehogs, and moles! Great illustrations. Fun! ... Read more

Book Description

When a Chinese gang hits Sunnydale, racial tensions in the community are sparked. Buffy has seen the baddies shake down Willy the Snitch, so naturally her Slayer senses are up. But to Willow, the situation poses a more personal threat. Her new friend Jia Li has been feeling the backlash from this cross-cultural hostility -- and it's tearing her family apart. Jia remains true to her ancient cultural heritage, but her brother, the angry, outspoken Lok, is ready to toss out old Chinese customs for the modern American lifestyle. And he's willing to use the occult for just that purpose.

Suddenly, a beautiful martial-arts warrior arrives on the scene. It's impossible to tell where her allegiance lies, but Xander -- whose romances are becoming habitually complicated -- is smitten, Giles is in full research mode, and before long, Buffy is wondering who's behind the gang warfare. Is supernatural evil brewing? ... Read more

The Buffy Palooza!
I think Revenant is a top rate Buffy book. the mixture of Gang warfare and chinese magic clash spectacularly. But, what with me being a big Angel fan and all, I mostly like the way Angel gets to come out of Buffy's shadow in this "Buffy" season 3 based novel, & gets to shine on his own, with detailed accounts of his own encounters & search for clues.

Also, Xander's obssession with the mysterious swordswoman adds for light entertainment, just as Willow's encounters with Lok Rong at the Rong residence are frightening. Even Buffy's Mum gets in on the act, Planning the interception of a dragon statue.

With its Graphic action sequences & killer climax, no regular 'Buffy' reader should bypass this novel, no matter how big or small fan you are of the series.

Slam-Bang Buffy
The most action-oriented of all the Buffy books, though the fights are excellently written. The book is more slam-and-tussle than plot - the reviewer who equated it to anime was dead on the money - but, hey, nothing wrong with that. As with several of the Buffy books, this one has too many irons in the fire to satisfactorily resolve them all, but overall it is quite satisfying.

In a plot almost ripped out of the day's suppressed headlines, a Chinese power broker is shipping heavy arms to California street gangs. The ensuing chaos provides excellent cover for occult behind-the-scenes activities, keeping Buffy and Company distracted. Several out-of-town players get involved in the act, including a likeable Chinese warrior-woman who nearly fills the void in poor luckless-in-love Xander's sex-life.

Welcome additions in this entry are Mayor Wilkins and his faithful hench-vamp, Mr. Trick, but they are relegated to incidental roles when they should have been much bigger players in this plot. And where is Faith, for God's sake? One of the worst failings in the entire book series is the all but complete negation of one of Sunnydale's most notorious personages, Faith the Fallen.

A strong entry in the series, well-written. Most recommended for lovers of action and anime.

A Chinese/Demon gang tries to take over Sunnydale
At first in "Revenant," it seems that the real world is suddenly intruding into the quiet little town of Sunnydale. As if being on the Hellmouth was not fun enough, a Chinese gang has hit town and is clearly trying to take over. But this is a Chinese gang that employs not only automatic weapons but also demons and a bit of good old fashioned Chinese magic. Mel Odom does a nice job of incorporating some elements of Chinese mysticism into the Buffy mythos and his characterization of the Slayer and her cohorts is certainly above average. The most interesting sub-plot involves the arrival of a beautiful martial-arts warrior, with whom Xander becomes hopelessly smitten. This is carried off well until the very end of the novel, at which point, following a hysterical exchange of apologies between Buffy and Xander, we suddenly jump ahead to the post mortem and are denied the actual farewell between the couple we have been rooting on throughout the story.

By the time I finished reading this Buffy the Vampire Slayer novel I kept thinking there was too much of one thing and not nearly enough of another. With all the weaponry the Chinese gang brings to town, you would have to think that somebody else besides Angel was going to be hit by all those hail of bullets (nice touch by Odom having Angel's face get messed up for a while in the story). Guns are a touchy item in the Buffy universe, where only the occasional vampire (Darla in "Angel" comes to mind) bothers to try and shoot it out with the Slayer. This is because it is awfully hard to get close enough to kick somebody in the chest when they are shooting an Uzi at you. That being said, I have to admit I was surprised that Mayor Wilkins was not more of a presence in the story. After all, Sunnydale is his town and has been for well over a century. Consequently, it very hard to believe he and the Dark Forces he serves would not do something about these invaders. Of course, this would open up the opportunity for some sort of temporary alliance, but at the very least the Mayor should be doing a lot more to defend his turf. Despite these caveats, "Revenant" is an above average Buffy novel and I will be interested to see what Odom comes up with the next time around.

Reads like a great Anime ...
A wonderful Buffy novel! The only fault I have found with it is that it begins very slowly. If you can make it to the middle of the book, be prepared to reap wonderful rewards. The plot is a bit confusing at times, but the action sequences are astoundingly good. Odom writes very discriptively and litterally paints pictures with words; at times they are very grusome pictures, which makes it even better. Many of the characters are well trained in martial arts and wear costumes reminiscent of the Anime genre, a real treat to read.

Continuing in the Buffy tradition, the author of this book adds things we've *never* seen in Sunnydale before to make the plot work. This happens all the time on the show, to the point where the characters even make fun of the fact ("I've lived in Sunnydale for a few years now, you know what I've never noticed? A big honkin' Castle" ~Buffy vs Dracula). In this book we get a large Asian community stuck smack dab in the middle of what until now has been what seems to be a mostly white community. If you can get past that, though, this is a great book!

excellent book must read for all buffy fans.
this book is definitely one of the buffy books. it starts out with the various members of the scooby gang in diffrent parts of sunnydale doing ordinary stuff when they are all attacked by a new chineese gang. before the night is over they have left destruction and mayhem all over sunnydale. while on the road to discovering what this gang wants and how to stop it, they find all types of chineese folklore, demons, ghosts, and a beautiful woman who comes to xander's rescue whom he immediately falls head over heels with.(when will his love life get better)? this book is beautifully written and definitely worth the price. this is one that they should consider making a movie or something. ...

A new Animorph?
"If you can hear me . . . come. If you can hear me . . . come." That's the message that Cassie and Tobias keep having. But what does it mean? Then, Jake realises that part of an Andalite ship has washed up on the beach - and the message seems to come from the ocean . . . the Animorphs are sure that it's an Andalite calling for help - but Visser Three is an Andalite. Could it be a trap? To find out, they acquire dolphin morphs and find the Andalite dome ship, but as they demorph, they are knocked unconcscious, by an Andalite - Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill - Ax. They escape, as Ax uses his shark morph - but then Visser Three morphs something VERY big and VERY nasty - and there's no way the Animorphs can outrun him. Can Cassie get a message to a friendly whale in time?

This book was great. It was the fourth in the Animorphs series, and a lot of it is based on Cassie's doubt that they should morph such intelligent animals as dolphins. It also introduces the new Animorph - Ax, an Andalite. And just wait till you hear that guy in human morph . . .

The ANIMORPHS find Elganfor's brother.
This ANIMORPHS book is awesome! It's one of the best. I love the excitement and the suspence of THE MESSAGE. My favorite part is when Marco, Jake, Cassie, and Rachael morph into dolphins from THE GARDENS, a zoo where Cassie's mom works. And then, they all morph seagulls and take an adventure in the ocean. But of course, they morph dolphins before going underwater! And then, well, do you think I should tell you what the ANIMORPHS find? No way! Well, I'll give you a clue....They find Prince Elganfor's brother, trapped down in the Dome Ship. And his name is....You'll have to read it to find out!!!!

Animorphs: The Message
Author: Katherine A. Applegate
Summary: Five kids are walking home from the mall one night when an alien spaceship comes down to them. In the spaceship is an alien called an Andantilite. The Andantilite comes down to the kids and tells them that another group of alien's had already invaded earth, the alien that had already invaded the earth, were small enough that they crawl through the humans ear and start to control them, they are then called human-controllers. He also told them that all throughout the universe there are other species of animals, and aliens that are also being controlled. The Andandtilite then gave the kids power to morph, morph into animals, thus the name Animorphs. These five kids will have save the world from these controllers, by using the power to morph and use the special features that each one of their animals has. They will have to learn to overcome the mind of the animal from overtaking their mind and to learn as much as possible about these controllers
Recommendation: I would recommend this book to kids in 5th or 6th grade, a boy or a girl and/ or kids that enjoy reading SciFI and kids that enjoy books that have a lot of suspense, and action like this book does.

one of the best
In this book, Cassie and Tobias are getting destress calls in their sleep. On the news is a piece of metal that a man found with some alphebit that Jake said was like the letters on Elfangor's morphing cube. they morph dolphins. If i tell you anymore, it will give the story away. :)

Dolphins+Animorphs=A Great Book!
Cassie and Tobias have these strange dreams of someone (or something) is calling for help. So the animorphs fine out this person or "thing" calling for help is at the bottom of the sea. So the Animorphs morph into dolphins (my favorit animal) and go to the area the "thing" is calling for help from. And when they get to the area they find out the "thing" as an animal call an Anlite. but the Yerrks are heard the calling too and there closing in so the animorphs have to get out of there fast.
This is a good book. ... Read more

3 1/2* A Nice Book of Friction
The Magic School Bus is an excellent science-based book collection, in which the indomitable Ms. Frizzle (wonderfully voiced by Lily Tomlin on the animated TV show) takes her grammar school kids on "Fantastic Voyage" like journeys in a shrinking school bus. . The bus takes the kids inside a book about Physics, where they enter a page about a baseball field with no friction. The kids learn about how throwing, running, and catching would work were there no friction.

Generally, the books are funny, have recognizable characters, and teach science principles in a clear, imaginative way. This book, however, was not as good as others I've read in the series: there is minimal use of "miniaturization" that makes the other books so clever and unique, the focus on friction is a bit too narrow, and the usually exciting escape from danger is on the tepid side. Still, its 30 pages contain bad puns, demonstrations of friction, and two friction experiments and the never-frazzled Ms. Frizzle. It's a mildly entertaining and informative book.

Magic School Bus Plays Ball - a Book About Forces
I'm 8 years old, and I've read alot of Magic School Busbooks. This book explains all about friction, forces, pushing andpulling.The book takes place in a magic book where the kids play baseball with no friction. I liked this book because I play baseball, and it would be hard to play without friction. I think that this book is better than the one about bats, and I REALLY liked that one. This book was one of the best I've read, so I suggest this book for your children.Kids, ask your parents to buy this book. ... Read more

Little Bill learns a lesson about telling the truth
At the beginning of "My Big Lie," one of comedian and educator Billy Cosby's "Little Bill Books for Beginning Readers," Little Bill is in his room being punished for telling a big fib by having to copy a story called "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Most young readers will already be familiar with that ancient story, but if they are not Young Bill retells the story and then goes into why he is being punished. Young Bill tells his parents that he is going to ride his bike to the pool to practice with a friend for the swim meet. His mother warns that they are having an early dinner at 4:30 and Little Bill says he will be back by then. But on his way to the pool he sees the guys playing basketball and ends up playing with them. The next thing he knows it is 7:00. Big Bill knows he is in BIG trouble and his friend tells him he had better think of something fast.

Well, Little Bill apparently thinks too fast because when he gets home and everybody wants to know what happened he makes up a story. Now, every young reader of this book should be shocked at Little Bill's story because if anything what he says happens with his lie is even worse than what really happened. Without being told, they will know that what Little Bill is doing is really, really wrong. What they might need pointed out to them is the way that Little Bill's parents deal with their son, because although his parents are too made to actually praise him for admitting his mistake, they do not yell at him.

In his introductory letter to parents Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint, the child psychiatry specialist who was an advisor to "The Cosby Show," emphasizes how the punishment given to Little Bill by his parents was educational. Poussaint points out that since his parents did not yell at him when he finally told them the truth that Little Bill would be less likely to tell another lie the next time he got into trouble. In that regard "My Big Lie" is as instructive for parents as it is for beginning readers.

I also appreciated the key difference between what happens with Little Bill in "My Big Lie" and the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." In the latter story the young boy tells two lies and, ironically, when he tells the truth the third time no one believes him. But in this story it is a single lie that threatens Little Bill's reputation with his family. His parents do not wait for their son to make the same mistake a second time, or to make an even worse mistake. It is that level of attention to the meaning of the story that makes these Little Bill books one of the best educational series available for beginning readers (and their parental units).

Lessons on Trust
Every year my students have a choice of choosing a book from the stack of 'Little Bill' books, and this one is always the first one they pick. The moral of this story is one that not only teachers wish to inflict, but parents, as well. It has a great way of introducing THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF story into the classroom. I also enjoyed how it introduced a way to discuss the definition of a "fib". This book was great for my students because we were able to explore in more detail the meaning of true "trust". I recommend this book to every teacher and every parent of elementary aged children. ... Read more

Reading is fun
This book is awesome!! Funny too. The reason i think it is funny is because the older brother puts his younger sister to the test on reading and he thinks she cant do it because she is younger. But then she proves him wrong and reads 10 words. And the deal was if she read 10 words he would buy her an ice cream cone. And she did so he bought her one. In the end it turns out the younger one can read and seems more smarter than the older one!

A little fun between bro and sis.
In this book Arthur and his sister D.W. have a reading contest to see if she could really read. So D.W. could read after all and Arthur ended up taking back what he said about her. He said she couldn't read but he didn't know she could.

Brilliant use of a simple medium to teach children to read.
One of many books in the Arthur series, Arthur's Reading Race, is extremely well designed, using stickers to ecourage and assist in the reading and learning of new words. On almost every page there is a word writen in blue which the child must match with a sticker. The kinestic activity of tieing the visual cue to the word enhances the learning process. Thematically, Marc Brown, couldn't have been more apropo, using the much loved Arthur character to challenge his younger sister, D.W., to read ten words. New readers, identifying with D.W., are immediately invested in discovering whether the novice is successful in meeting her older brother's challenge. Marc Brown, does not dissappoint his young fans, as D.W. manages to read ten words and receives her reward (an ice-cream). Brown uses humor extremely well eliciting delighted giggles from young readers as they follow D.W. and Arthur on this immaginative and educational journey. Other bonuses include a review activity, an additional sticker page which allows the child to create their own story, as well as excellent ideas/advice in a "Note to Parents" page.Unfortunately, this is one of very few Arthur: Step into reading books which I have been able to locate which offer the stickers and all the asociated activities. -Victoria Romani ...

Bobbing along
Good old Maisy. Her adventures tend to be as large or small as the daily activites that children themselves partake in. Appearing in cleverly constructed (and mighty strong) books, Maisy is cheery without ever becoming pendatic. She's light-hearted but never tiring. Maisy is, in fact, the perfect companion for any child beginning to read. She is also a great help to those parents that want their kids to see reading as a fun activity.

In this particular Maisy venture, the little white mouse wants to go swimming. The weather outside must be frightful because our heroine is covered from tip to tail in warm woolly winter clothing. It is up to the child reader to remove each article as instructed. So off goes the hat! Open goes the coat. Away goes the sweater, the trousers (love those Lucy Cousins British words), t-shirt, socks, and bright orange underwear. Then the child places the swimsuit onto Maisy and off goes the cheery mousey for a dip in the pool.

The book's a treat, no question. Parents reading it to their children had better put the book back together correctly before another reading, however. No child would want to read through a book where Maisy's hat was already off or her swimsuit was already on. That would spoil half the fun. The trick of removing or outfitting Maisy in these articles of clothing come in the book's clever construction. Using thick paper that can stand up to little hands, it's a treat to watch Cousins's thick lined drawings moving up or down. The only part of the book that's a bit flimsy is, sadly the last picture. In theory, if you pull on a specific tab, Lucy goes bobbing along in the water. In practice, she's more likely to get stuck, or the tab may just get pulled out altogether. On the whole however, this a cute creation. Any child who's a fan of Cousins, mice, or just the trick or interacting with a book's character physically will have a ball with Maisy's small scale adventure. A bucket o' fun.

Lots of fun to read
This book has a very simple concept - taking off all of Maisy's many layers of clothing and then putting on her bathing suit so that she can go swimming. My 2 year old son loves it to pieces - literally. Unfortunately it's not very robust, but even now with half the pages in tatters it's still one of his favorites.

What a great book!
A fantastic Maisy book - my daughter (2) loves it. Not only do we get to read about another wonderful Maisy adventure - Maisy getting ready to go swimming but we help Maisy get undressed and into her swimming costume. It had really helped my daughter give her clothes a name and also which bit of the body they go on. This book enables you to help Maisy get dressed and undress by use of flaps and pull tabs - my daughter loves doing that as well. It has helped her understand the concept of on and off, up and down, and colours.

Great book!!!
This book is one of my daughter's favorites. She loves manipulating Maisy's clothes over and over again for hours. Great overall book, but I subtracted one star for durability. It could have been made a bit more durable...

A great learning tool
As a preschool teacher, I find this book, a great tool to teach and reinforce vocabulary for clothing, as well as colors. The pull tabs also develops fine motor skills for youngsters. Maisy books are the right speed for 2 to 3 year olds. Children also learn about dressing and undressing. This book also rates two thumbs up by my two and a half year old niece. ... Read more

Things will never again be the same...
This is it. One of the most awaited Animorphs ever is here. In this book, Marco's father's company has discovered zero-space and the yeerks arn't happy. They want Marco's father infested and Marco won't loose another parent to the yeerks, so he riskes all the animorphs lives to save his father. I think he did the right thing, any of the animorphs would of done it, but now, with the help of the Chee, Marco and his father fake their deaths to fool the yeerks and go into hiding. And how does Marco's father deal? Just follow his son around while they battle Hork-Bajir and try to save the world? Nope, take a deep breath, cus it's finally happened - Marco tells his father everything. EVERYTHING, the yeerks, the animorphs, and Eva. But the story dosn't end there, becuase with the help of a human-made Z-space transponder the Animorphs hear Visser One is being exicuted in the yeerk pool, and if she dies, Visser Three will get promoted and will make the invasion of the yeerks totaly public. If that happens, the animorphs won't matter. Earth's history will end. It's my new favorite animorphs, a touching and well-written story that's the first in the story-arc running to book #54, when K.A. Applgate's contract official runs out. Is this the end of the war? Maybe, but whoever wins, these are going to be books way worth reading.

"The Revlation" is going to be the best of the year...
The Revelation and Megamorphs #4 are the best books of theyear.This book,#45 of the Animorphs series,will be the first book in along awaited story arc that will undergo big changes for the Animorphs.In this book Marco tells his dad of the Animorphs's secret.There is also a part in this book where the Yeerks will try ot capture Marco's dad too to the Yeerks,like his mother.The cover morph will be Marco to ant.This story arc will last through book #54.This book will be a must-buy!

Marco saves his dad from the Yeerks
In this book, Marco's dad's company finds Z-Space and the Yeerks infest everyone in the company except Marco's dad. Marco saves him and tells him everything. They move in with the Chee and the Chee fake Marco and his dad dieing. Marco and the other Animorphs decide they have to save Marco's mom and find out that she is being starved of Kandrona in the Yeerk pool. Will the Animorphs rescue Eva, or will she be handed to another Yeerk? Read the book to find out!

Climax
This book is one of the climaxes in the animorph series. A lot of major events occur. Marco cracks up and tells his dada EVERYTHING about the yeerks. Visser one is rescued by the animorphs. A must read for animorph fans. In the next few books, things go very downhill for the animorphs.

Three and a half stars really
This book shows major changes for the Animorphs. By the end of the book everything for Marco is changed. If the books are going on like this, things will get out of control. I thought this book was too short and a bit rushed. Good that things are changing, bad that everything is changing at once. There was a lot of action, but it didn't stick in your head. I wouldn't call it one of the Animorphs that stand out, though I thought it would be. I hope the next ones are better then this- I think they will be. Also, parts of the plot didn't really hang together, like their big mission to the Yeerk pool. Wasn't the whole point to rescue Visser One ( the yeerk) and Marco's mother, so Visser Three doesn't end up launching a full scale invasion of Earth? But Marco kills the Yeerk. Maybe I should read that bit again. This could have been a great book, but it wasn't. That's about it. ... Read more

It's time for the much-loved mouse Maisy to get ready for bed, but shehas a lot to do before she can finally slip under the covers. With this engaging interactive book, young readers can help Maisy every step of the way on her journey toward dreamland with myriad lift-the-flaps and pull-the-tabs. First she throws back a bedtime beverage, then she goes to the potty (complete with flushing action!), then she washes her hands, brushes her teeth, puts on her pajamas, reads her bedtime story, and at last says goodnight, toy panda in paw. Kids will love pulling, opening, and sliding their way through the book, and in the process may learn a thing or two about color and object identification and basic hygiene. Lucy Cousins's adorable illustrations may even convince reluctant sleepers that bedtime can be fun! (Baby to preschool) --Brangien Davis ... Read more

Hey, She Even Remembers to Brush Her Teeth
If you are the parent of a young child, you probably know who Maisy is. She's a mouse with a duck, a squirrel, an elephant, and a crocodile for friends. Why the crocodile isn't trying to eat the others is beyond me, but that's life in Maisy's world.

Both of my daughters love the Maisy books; there's something about their simple stories and colorful pictures that even appeals to adults. The books are short and easy to read. But, the stories are never obnoxiously simplistic, like so many other books for small children.

This is a lift the flap book in which the childen are lifting flaps as Maisy prepares for bed. Believe it or not, this book helped convince one of my daughters to brush her teeth, which is frquently a battle in our house. This is one of the most fun Maisy books to read to your children. One caution, the kids might get a little aggressive with the flaps and tear a few, resulting in the purchase of a new lift the flap book (in our current copy, Maisy's tooth brush has bit the dust).

Maisy Goes to Bed
This is a very cute, sweet book to read at bedtime. All about a little girl mouse & her bedtime preparations.

Maisy goes to bed by Lucy Cousins
Maisy is a hot property at our house. My 2 year old has fallen in love! Maisy Goes To Bed is just precious. It has lots of tabs to pull out and push in to illustrate the story. The book is made well and has stood up to alot of interactive reading. If your child loves Maisy this will be a true hit!

Maisy Goes to Bed
My 15 month old son adores this book. This is the first book I've been able to get him to sit still for - he loves interacting with the tabs and watching the result. If you're looking for a fun, informative book that really grabs young readers - this is it! We have a great time with Maisy as she prepares for bed every night!

A fun and entertaining book for children...and adults!
Help Maisy the mouse get ready for bed in one of the best children's books ever! Young children help Maisy have a bedtime snack, brush teeth, go to the potty, put on her jammies etc. Along the way there are flaps to open and tabs to pull. Peek in Maisy's closet to see her ballerina outfit! Open the fridge! Cover Maisy with her blanket! I fell in love with this book over five years ago. Lucy Cousins' brightly colored illustrations are eye-catching and have great toddler appeal. Tested thoroughly on my 3-1/2 year old from one year on up. VERY effective as a bedtime transition book. ... Read more

A farm is a very busy place. Good thing Maisy is around to keep things shipshape!This industrious little mouse collects eggs from the hens, feeds the baby lambs, picks apples, anddrives the tractor. (We already knew she could operate heavy machinery from Maisy Drives the Bus.) Equallyindustrious readers can help Maisy by pulling the tabs and lifting the flaps in this interactiveaddition to the well-loved Maisy series by Lucy Cousins. Fans will recognize the vibrant colors,big print, and boldly outlined pictures that characterize these appealing books for very youngreaders (and readers-to-be). Don't miss Maisy and her friends on Nickelodeon as well asin her many other endearing books, including Maisy Goes Swimming and Happy Birthday, Maisy. (Baby toPreschool) --Emilie Coulter ...

Can't get enough of this one!
My eighteen month old son loves this book! He goes to bed with it at night and wants to read it more than any other book. He can maneuver the flaps and pull- tabs without ripping them to shreds (like some others he's managed to destroy.) We highly recommend this one!

Bought a second when the first was worn out!
This book has been fantastic, and has introduced our daughter to all the farm animals in such a way that they've really become her friends - there are eggs under the laying hen, and then a chick appears too, there is a bird sweeping out from the corn as the tractor chugs by; the geese need water from the yellow watering can, and a very young child can add to the story by activating the animals at different points - magic. We started our daughter on this at 3 months, as a reading book, and now, 13 months later, the second copy is a wreck - she can do each step again, and again, and again.......a worthwhile buy anyday, and a marvellous present (needless to say, for adults too!)

My son loves this book!
My 14-month-old has just learned how to express a preference for some books over others, and this book is the big winner. He loves it more and more as he figures out how to pull all the tabs.

Definitely a Must-Have for Maisy Fans
This is my two-year old's favorite Maisy book. Again, the colors are bold and the drawings simple, as of typical Lucy Cousin. This is a great book for toddlers to learn the names of various farm animals and their youngs. Like all flap and pull-tab books, it is not too sturdy. So this book is best saved for parent and child reading together.

Wonderful book for toddlers!
This is one of my two year old's favorite books! He returns to it again and again (along with most other Lucy Cousins books!). He absolutely loves the brightly colored pictures combined with the pull-tabs. If you have a toddler, this is a sure winner! ... Read more

There's nothing left to hide....
The secret is out. The Yeerks have discovered the truth - that the Animorphs are not renegade Andalites, but a group of human kids. Now, they're living in a refugee camp with their families and the free Hork-Bajir. But Jake, whose parents were captured by the Yeerks, is depressed - and he fears that they are starting to slip up. It's beginning to look more and more likely each day that the Animorphs are doomed to lose the war. With the freedom and lives of everyone on Earth at stake, they are forced to make a difficult choice - one that could have terrible consequences. They decide that the time has come to make more Animorphs. This, like the last few Animorphs books, was very tense and gripping - I read the whole thing through in an hour, unable to put it down. With only four more books left and a cliffhanger ending to this one, I eagerly await the conclusion to the series. If you're an Animorphs fan, you'll definitely want to read this one.

Very Deep....Not at all what it appears to be
One thing I've always admired about the ANIMORPHS series is how deep is truly is, especially as we get closer to the end of the series. Cassie shows a true depth of character in this book, and shows that she sees connections that others don't. Allowing Tom to take the morphing cube shocked me when I first read it. I couldn't believe it. But, in hindsight, you can see what a truly brilliant move it was. The addition of new Animorphs was very creative and well-done, as well, with yet again more moral debates. As you read the entire Animorphs series, you can't expect just some simple story about kids turning into animals to fight aliens. It sounds so hokey, but it's very deep, very well-thought out, and it definitely makes you think and relate to these characters. Cassie's decisions in this book are no exception.

i am 14 NOT 12 but this is easier to write my review!!! :)
At long last more animorphs!!!! I think yhis is one of the best animorph books, it's about time they added to their numbers and James and the rest are a great choice!!
1 question in this book there is a boy named Timmy with a bobcat morph but in the next books his name is Tuan????
i think we should get to know the other new animorphs more though, some of the 17 you don't even find out their names.
Anyway a great book, buy it! No buy them ALL!!!!

The Ultimate book!!!!
This book was too cool! The Animorphs are stuck. They're living in the Hork Bajir valley in the forest with their disbelieving families, and shaky resistance against an attack, should one come. Jake and Cassie are at odds and there's in-fighting at every turn, which is breaking them up. Finally, when they realize they need a bigger army, they start to recruit new Animorphs.
Without a doubt, this is a classic book in the series. You can't miss it. The people the Animorphs choose are great, the climax is exciting, and the storyline is believable. Wonderful book, KA!

The Ultimate
I picked this book up...after abandoning the series for a while, and I was pleased to find that it's still going strong. Jake's depressed, their hiding with the Hork-Bajir colony, and now Visser Three knows where they live and that they're kids. So they recruit new animorphs. What happens? Well, I wouldn't spoil the book, now would I? Just pick this book up if you like animorphs, and if you've never read them, pick up one of the first few twenty books beforehand. ... Read more

Arthur Meets The President
I think Arthur Meets The President is a great book because the book was interesting and it's very fun to read. I like Marc Brown books because they're fun to read and I really understand the books that I read.

Introduction to the President.
Arthur is so popular that my students tell me the names of the characters. This book will assist me in introducing the president and his role in the US government.

Great Set Induction for lesson!
This book is a fantastic set induction to a unit or lesson on Presidents. The author provides a creative storyline to get the students interested in Presidents. The book disscusses a variety of different subjects relating to the president such as, the White House, diffferent sights in Washington, and how kids can write to the President and get a response. It can also be used to reinforce appropriate letter-writing structure. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to make the subject a little more fun for children. Of course, it is filled with fun stuff between Arthur, his pesty sister D.W., and friends.

Everyone loves Arthur
I am a 1st grade teacher. My class and I always enjoy finding out about Arthur and his friends in the books written by Marc Brown. I especially like Arthur Meets the President. I use this book during the month of February as a literature connection to a theme study of presidents. Not only does this title lend itself to my curriculum but it also has a wonderful storyline dealing with a brother/sister relationship with all its ups and downs. ... Read more

Book Description

Buffy and Angel find themselves launched into a frightening reality where fierce dragons and other fairy-tale monstrosities rule supreme. Once they locate each other, they rally the missing teens -- including Salma -- and attempt to make their way through the interdimensional portal back to Sunnydale. Little do they know that two unlikely allies have also come through to alternity: Spike and the rogue Slayer, Faith, both with their own respective -- and complicated -- MOs.

Back in L.A., gang violence and vigilantism are at a fever pitch. The Slayerettes -- now an extended unit -- are holding down the fort, awaiting Buffy and Angel's return. But Slayer and Vampire are feeling moral conflict that rivals the physical strain of demon-slaying: each wonders if a reality exists where their love could have survived. And when one of the duo's charges is suddenly killed, the portal to Sunnydale is sealed. Now, before they can worry about ridding their own universe of supernatural chaos, they've got to find a way to get back to it.... ... Read more

A Good Ending in any Dimension
Nancy Holder and Jeff Mariotte have brought their crossover trilogy to an end in grand style. Action packed this book brings each of the complex plots to an agreeable end. Everyone plays apart as the gang tries to defeat the monsters, find the missing children, and stop the gang warfare. It is the action rather than the relationships, which sparkle in this story. The battles are well written. Poodle size rats, disembodied armor, slavers, mad zoo keepers, shadows, giant worms and miscellaneous monsters threaten the gang.

Because there are so many characters it is hard to give them equal time or explore their emotions as much as fully as the reader might like. Not only do we have Buffy, Angel and their gangs, but even Faith and the mayor make an appearance. The authors for the most part have done an excellent job of working in the series history and keeping the characters true to their TV personalities. There are some lovely inside jokes that true Buffy fans will love. There are, however, some inconsistencies. When Faith is added to the team she pitches in to help Angel but says she owes Buffy nothing. Yet the last we saw Faith on the TV series she was acknowledging that Buffy was the only one who gave her chance after chance and that she had not only rejected her friendship but had attacked her friends and messed with her life. So it was hard to understand her anger at Buffy.

The back drop of the other realities was very intriguing. I loved the vampire zoo especially and the worm tunnels made my skin crawl. A nice touch was the temptations. Although I think that Angel's temptation would have been more realistic if it had not excluded Buffy.

I enjoyed the trilogy and this book in particular. I recommend it highly to Buffy fans but I would not suggest reading it without reading the other two Unseen volumes first.

The most complex Buffy/Angel novel slowly winds down
Halfway through "Long Way Home," the final book in the Unseen Buffy/Angel Crossover Trilogy by Nancy Holder and Jeff Mariotte, the story gets as complex as a Tom Clancy novel. At one point, in terms of plot threads, (1) Buffy, (2) Angel, (3) Spike and (4) Salma are all in different alternities; back in Sunnydale (5) Riley is dealing with a shadow monster, (6) Giles, Xander and Anya are looking for Riley, while (7) Joyce is at Giles' apartment worrying about Buffy; in Los Angeles (8) Wesley, Willow and Cordelia are trying to get Alina to fix the Reality Tracer, as (9) the Latino gangs are fighting the Russian Mafiya, (10) Nicky is having a heart to heart with his grandmother; (11) Kate is investigating the disappearance of all the kids and (12) Faith is having fun in prison; meanwhile (13) Mischa is still planning on meeting Alina at the Grand Canyon. I think that covers everything, since there are no scenes of Gunn or the Flores family doing anything at this point and I assume Dennis was already finished with the dishes back at Cordy's apartment.

What all these plot threads mean is that Buffy and Angel are competing for time with every other character in the story, so those who pick up the Unseen Trilogy hoping for the two main characters to spend significant time together, are going to be disappointed. All you have to do is look at the front and back covers of "Long Way Home" to know that Spike and Faith are supposed to have prominent roles in the story, but Spike gets caught in something of an alternity dead end while it takes a while for Faith to become involved, even when you know what the plan is regarding the reformed Rogue Slayer. The last part of the book basically has all those groups meeting and slowly reducing the number of plot threads until we are down to three locations where stuff is happening. There really is not a big climax here; it is more a case of things winding down.

When reviewing the first book in the Unseen trilogy I commented on the inherent problems with characterization in writing Buffy/Angel books, so that most of the characters are pretty much treading water. This time around I want to point out one plus and one minus in this regard: on the plus side, Holder and Mariotte do a really nice job of fleshing out Riley's feelings for Buffy, their relationship, Angel, and a lot of other stuff going on. But on the minus side of the equation I think Faith regresses a bit too much to where she was before the big confrontation with Angel. Another nice touch was that the writers presented Buffy and Angel as having different conceptions of what the best of all possible worlds would be. The bottom line is that while the Unseen Trilogy is not the grand epic we saw with the Gatekeeper Trilogy, it is a worthy effort. But next time there is a Buffy/Angel crossover, the two starcrossed lovers better be together for a bigger chunk of the action.

Didn't care for the characterizations
This book seemed pretty flat to me, compared to the characters on the TV show. Especially the sub-plot surrounding Spike. There was a lot "happening" in this book, but I couldn't be moved to care much. Unlike the show, where you can go from tears to laughing out loud in a heartbeat.

Loved it
I heard these were coming out, and it was approaching my birthday of last June, I got thise and play tickets from my mom after serious begging. She bought me them as soon as each one came out, funny thing is my best friend who doestn live at all close to me, got me the first one. But this is on the third one, it was a very well written book. The scenes between Buffy and Angel were pricless and touch the b/a shippers heart. A problem was of how much Buffy acted as if she loved Riley more than anything of the world, and Angel was past, why he dreamed about her and their forgotten day. Otherwise it is a good read, as a fan of either show, or the B/A or even b/r(gag) relationship. Just one thing to people who read my review or somethign that would never happen Nancy and Jeff read this, what the hell happend to Spike?! Is there a new crossover triogly in the making*looks hopeful*

Great Series
Nancy Holder deserves a huge Buffy fan award. Not only did her hardcover book, "Book of Fours," provide fans with one of teh Slayer's best stories, it fit logically into the Buffy-verse without taking many great leaps.

I'm not sure why she stopped writing with Christopehr Golden but I have no complaints. She blew his "Tales of the Lost Slayer" out of the water with this trilogy. It all fit neatly into the recent story lines of both Buffy and Angel (Seasons 4 / 2 respectively).

Kudos! MORE NANCY MORE!!!!!! ... Read more
