Summary: This Book Sent Me on a Quest!
Comment: This book is probably one of the most intriguing books that I have ever seen. I was first introduced to it in the fourth grade and my entire class fell in love with it. Everytime we went to the library our class would beg to see it. Unfortunately I forgot the title and years passed. By this time I had reached college I couldn't even remember the author. I was constantly searching for the book because I wanted to use it with my students during my student teaching, finally one day I happened across a copy of it and it was as if a quest had finally been completed. I have since used it with two different classes during my student teaching and each of them loved it, with students begging to have the opportunity to write stories based on the pictures. I highly recommend this book, the reader will be spellbound just as my schoolmates and I were 13 years ago.

Summary: a wonderful tool for the imagination!
Comment: I noticed this book is recommended for ages 4-8. My 10-year old son, who normally reads adult sci-fi fantasy by the likes of Piers Anthony and David Eddings, found this book in his school library last year and fell in love with it! It's so much more than just a book. The pictures are so rich and full of detail, your child (and maybe even you!) will sit for hours making up stories to match the mysteries. If you're looking for an educational gift that's not too "nerdy", this is the book to buy.

Summary: Been looking for this book for years!
Comment: One of my elementary school teachers introduced me to this book years ago. I think I was only in fifth or sixth grade. Being someone who loves to write, I was captivated immediately by the illustrations and the single sentence from the beginning of the stories that went along with them. I lost track of this book, until last semester when I saw it in my college book store. At the time I didn't have enough cash on hand to buy it, and by the time I went back the book was gone. Sadly for me, I had also forgotten the title and author! Thanks to a friend, I finally found this book again, and I cannot wait to get my own copy to share with my elementary students!
