I finished reading my twenty fifth and sixth books in English for this year without using a dictionary. My twenty fifth book is a child book and sixth book is a book for adults. Each book has around 100 short stories, so I'd read one story per a day around for three months.
I think this idea is really great because after three month I can finish reading the book. Plus, it's not difficult for me to keep reading a short story in English every single day. In Japanese we have a proverb ”塵も積もれば山となる” (...more

This book was my husband's when he was a child. It's seen a lotta love. It's missing the cover and some outside pages. Legomeister spent hours pouring over all the vehicle pictures, and we loved to read the nursery rhymes and stories.
Little Miss really liked "I am a Bunny" by Ole Risom. It shows the bunny in four different seasons. And "The Bunny Book" by Patricia Scarry, where everyone asks Baby Bunny what he wants to be when he grows up. (A daddy.) These longer stories weren't my favorite, exc...more

Mama got this as a gift at a baby shower. She thought of giving it away, because she did not think it looked very fun. I am so glad that she did not. I love ALL the stories in the book. There are 82 stories. But, I have four favorites that I go to again and again.
When I was very sick and had to stay in bed I asked to have this book with me. I would turn on my tummy and slowly turn each page. It gave me great comfort to have a book I love with me when I felt yucky. At night, when I go to bed I b...more

Featuring 82 short stories and poems, this book also features some of the most beautiful imagery i've seen before. "Words To Learn", for instance, teaches children about the names and locations of body parts, the months of the year, the names of designated names of family members, and the days of the week and are accompanied by drawings. There are also stories that deal with the seasons, colors, and how to be nice one another.
This was my favorite book when I was younger I read it so many times.
Great kids book.
Funny. This book would be best for ages 4 and up. Maybe a little younger.
This book is funny. I remember everything that happened. When I read this book it I thought it was the funniest thing ever but that was awhile ago. I love this random book because it is easy to read, and quite funny. I think everyone should read this books. So read it now!

My kids love looking at this book in the car...lots of fun pictures and stories. A number of the pages are scenes with everything labeled or different concepts (colors, counting etc). It's a great book to take along for quiet reading while at the doctors or someplace else since it's large enough to keep them entertained for awhile.
This book has so much sentimental value to me as it was one of the staples of my daughter's reading diet for years. We really loved Lowly Worm. I adored how the stories were morally engaging without being didactic or pendantic or boring. I think I even may have kept it, although it was rather falling apart. Oh the memories!
Meet Huckle Cat, Loly Worm and other fun characters in this wonderful book. Pages and pages of great artwork that will entertain a child with just trying to find all the items on the pages. It's a great book to pick up and fill time with your kids, my kids wore out 3 copies just from the constant reading of the book.
