Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Witches in Books

Loved this book! It was a quick entertaining read that didn't involve much thinking on my part...never a bad thing after work. My 4th graders are reading it in Book Club & have been devouring it too. The narrator is an awesome character that kids seem to relate well to. But he is also able to hold an adult's interest too. Not always an easy feat for a children's book. This is by far my favorite of Dahl's books!!

Classic children's story about friendship and loss
I shed so many tears reading this as a kid. It's a great book for children exploring loss, and unlikely friendship. Even though I hate spiders, Charlotte is wonderful, attempting to aid her friend Wilbur the pig from being slaughtered. A heartwarming, bittersweet tale.

A Classic Of Children's Literature
I liked this book a lot tbh. The ending was cute, the illustrations were nice, and the writing didn't "talk down" to readers like some picture books do. The only complaint I have is that the pacing felt a little rushed. But maybe that's just me.

Not what I expected

This appears to be a children's book and I suppose it approached the subject of Death rather delicately but it was really depressing. I must say that I didn't care for the story much even tho this is all to real for alot of people , I can't see how this would help someone.
[Out of War] by [Sara Cameron] is the story of the Children's Movement for Peace in Columbia. It is a non fiction book written for lower readers. The high interest of the topic, especially to many ELL students, will be a help but the way the stories are told is dull and could be written better.

Whenever I am having a bad day or feeling down I re read this children's book. Love the storyline how an orphaned girl is sent to India to live with her Uncle and she along with a boy she befriends over there come across a garden which has been locked for years and bring it back to life.

I don't usually read children's books but this one was written by friends of a good friend of mine. And who wouldn't want to read a beautifully illustrated book about a mouse detective that is hunting for lost notes written by Mozart?
