Not quite as imaginative as some of Seuss's classics but still a fun read for kids and their parents.

Three new Christmas novellas starring the author's series detectives. Lots of holiday fun, especially if you already love one or more of the series.

Alice travels down the rabbit hole and meets all kind of crazy characters. I enjoy the story, but finds it does get repetitive.

At times, an interesting look at running throughout history. However, the book really needed better focus, and I often got frustrated by his rabbit trails.

A strong second entry finds Aggie solving the murder of her foster sister on Christmas Eve. Strong characters and a great plot.

A modern fairy tale with a nod to some of the classics. Very fun for those who know the genre already.

Berenstains' A Book

More a list of words that begin with A than anything else. Definitely doesn't have the fun spark of the superior B Book.
