| “Read Unique and Interesting Children’s Books” A guide by Beverly, water park manager, parent of 4, aunt of 6, book collector See all products These are some of my family’s favorites because they are not like formula books. The writers are very creative and have really tried to be original. Well, even if they didn’t try to be original, they succeeded. 'Coming On Home Soon'. 'The Fairy Chronicles Book Two: Dragonfly and the Web of Dreams'.This is a very clever fairy tale. 'The Fairy Chronicles Book Three: Thistle and the Shell of Laughter'.Cute factors to this story like what laughter consists of and Snickers, the hedgehog. 'Kira-Kira (Newbery Medal Book)'. 'Maniac Magee'. 'The Will Of The Empress'.I like this author very much, not for really young kids, more teenage. 'Leonardo, the Terrible Monster (Ala Notable Children's Books. Younger Readers (Awards))'. 'Gossip Girl #8: Nothing Can Keep Us Together : A Gossip Girl Novel (Gossip Girl)'. 'The Opal Deception (Artemis Fowl, Book 4)'. 'The Leap'. 'A Family of Poems : My Favorite Poetry for Children'. This is a nice collection of poetry but I like Shel Silverstein slightly better. 'Bridge to Terabithia'. 'Holes (Readers Circle)'. 'The Outcast (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 8)'. 'Amanda Bean's Amazing Dream (Marilyn Burns Brainy Day Books)'. 'Judy Moody'. 'Wizardology : The Book of the Secrets of Merlin (Ologies)'.

'Five Children and It (Puffin Classics - the Essential Collection)'. 'Ptolemy's Gate (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 3)'. 'The Magic School Bus Lost In The Solar System (Magic School Bus)'. 'The Everything Kids' Science Experiments Book: Boil Ice, Float Water, Measure Gravity-Challenge the World Around You! (Everything Kids Series)'.Good collection of activities, some are very surprising. 'Whales on Stilts (M. T. Anderson's Thrilling Tales)'. 'Inkspell'.

This is a great series, nice collectors books because of the unique illustrations. 'The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 12)'. 'How Do I Feel?/Como me siento? (Good Beginnings)'. 'A Volcano in My Tummy : Helping Children to Handle Anger'. 'The Magic Tree House: Books 1-8 (Osborne, Mary Pope.
