new fairy tale

I adore the message of Princess Bubble because she is a modern day princess that is happy with herself and wants to make a difference.

About a really amusing and great new children book

Talking about Best Children Books,I'd really like saying that, besides

all the previous beautiful titles, I've been recently very impressed

buy a quite new,funny and amusing book who's character is a very particular and

quite "odd" cat, "Pisi the Cat and his adventures",by Pauline H. d'Almèras,

published by AEG Publishing Group.

The tale is really thrilling and it transmits how beautiful it can be sharing our lives with pets and all the magnificent sweetness they give us just as a gift.

children's books - more choices

I too was pleased to see someone recognize the value of Albert Payson Terhune's wonderful dog books starting with _Lad, a Dog_. Both _Call of the Wild_ and _White Fang_ by Jack London are excellent choices, too. Has anyone mentioned _Rabbit Hill_ and _The Tough Winter_ by Robert Lawson? _The Adventures of Robin Hood_ is another classic story. Finally, I'd like to recommend a children's version of _The Arabian Nights_, 13 tales told by Eric Goodenow and published by Grosset & Dunlap. It's been around for many years and I haven't seen it on any list.
