Cons: A little repetitive. I bought this book for my two daughters based on the title alone. "Guess How Much I Love You" is something I always have asked my girls. They stretch their arms out really wide and say, "And even More." So, this book was compelling to me. I love the ...

Yes, THAT Whoopi .... by sean_mack Pros: It teaches children about manners, and is funny. 'Nuff said.
Cons: I'd be showing bad manners by even suggesting such a thing. When I think of classic children's books, I usually think of the ones I grew up with and loved, such as Dr. Seuss' 'Green Eggs and Ham' or the Caldecott Medal winner 'The Snowy Day' by Ezra Jack Keats. But now, almost astonishingly, I must add ...

Just a Wee Bit Long by jenspeaks Pros: Nicely done speculation on King Henry's mistress and future wife
Cons: Way too long, graphic sexual content, questionable use of historical facts I just finished reading The Other Boleyn Girl today. It took me three weeks to finish, which is fine, but it got to be tedious reading in the home stretch. Overall, it's a pretty good book, but it's way too long for me. The story of Mary Boleyn is not ...
