A rhyming celebration of all sorts of creatures, from the Feather People (birds) to the Dreaming People (dogs) and even the People People.

About the Author
David Elliott is the author of THE COOL CRAZY CRICKETS and THE TRANSMOGRIFICATION OF ROSCOE WIZZLE. He says of AND HERE'S TO YOU!, "My neighbor's rooster and I were having a disagreement. I wanted to sleep in the morning; he wanted to crow. The rooster won, of course. The first verse of AND HERE'S TO YOU! is a tribute to his victory and to the joys found in simply following your nature."

Beautiful pictures.

Includes three easy-to-read stories.

In the first, Beezy decides that her name is uninteresting, but when her grandmother tells her the story about how her nickname came about, she is delighted with it.

In the next chapter, Gran tells Beezy and her friend Merlin a humorous trickster tale of a clever rabbit who outmaneuvers a panther.

In the final story, Beezy's dog jumps into a pastry shop window to eat his favorite food, key lime pie. The reaction to his foaming green mouth is very funny.

Review Date: 12/7/2007


After moving from California to Massachusetts eleven year old Jill is eager to make new friends. She eventully becomes good friends with DeDe, a girl with downs syndrome. Then Jill becomes good friends with the other girls in her neighborhood. They're fun to be around, but refuse to be Jill's friends if they have to hang around DeDe. Now Jill has to choose between the 'cool' girls and the girl who could possibly be the best friend that she has ever had.

This was a really good book. I've read it multiple times, and am starting to get an urge to read it again. The story is very entertaining and fun to read. It's an interesting book that I recommend to girls who love dramatic stories about pre-teen girls.

It tells the whimsical story of Ernie trying to find new places for almost everything in the house. It teaches kids AND adults that everything has it's proper place and that things should always be put away correctly the first time. Kids will think about chains of events and laugh at Ernie's wacky choices. (reviews taken from amazon.com)

Review Date: 12/7/2007


"Oh, he walked around the world on his four fur feet, his four fur feet, his four fur feet....and never made a sound-O." Fun illustrations have you turning the book to show this animal's travels as he pads along a river, past a railroad, out into the country where he eventually dreams peacefully about the round world. It's a simple, repetitive tale with the sort of serious whimsy that Margaret Wise Brown writes so well.
