Carousels Books

I absolutely loved this book. It gives the view points of two girls, ali - a daughter of a writer, and simone - a beautiful girl who seems, at the beginning to be just another stuck up rich girl. This touching story illustrates how the two opposites form an unusual friendship.

This book is incredibly moving, completely engrossing...Simone seems like this ice queen, who no one can penetrate. However, she becomes probably the most vivid character of the two girls. I highly reccomend this to anyone interested in friendship, witchcraft and mysterious pasts.

When my girls were growing up, this was one of their most favorite books - they never tired of hearing it or reading it themselves when they were able. The story of the puppy trying to find its own identity plus the wonderful illustrations make for delightful reading.

I have recently discovered my childhood copies of Frank Muir's What-a-mess. Flipping through the pages I was amazed by the wit and the intricate detail in the pictures. Unlike numerous children stories What-a-Mess actually has an imaginative story line. As a child and an adult I have found it impossibly not to fall in love with the adventurous, adorable afghan puppy. Unfortunately What-a-Mess is now out of print but if you find a copy in a book shop it is a purchase you certainly won't regret. Due to the intricity of the pictures the book is suitable and holds interest to all ages.

The text consists of verbs in the present participle.
This makes an easy pattern for students of English as a second language to follow.
Furthermore, it offers welcome help on a difficult topic: verbs.

I found that this book would be great to use to introduce a weather bear in a pre-K or Kindergarten class. The book follows the decisions Bear makes when he gets dressed in the morning. Three articles of clothing are given to choose from and then we find out what Bear picked. His decisions are based on how the weather is. I think this is a good book to help young children learn how to chose appropriate close for the weather. I highly recommend it.

I am 4 years old. This was a very interesting book. The carousel was beautiful. I liked all the pictures in the book. The girl in the book, Rosie, was pretty, and I felt sorry for her when she got sick, I liked the way it ended and I made my mom read it to me over and over.

I read this book during my junior year of high school, I literally couldn't put it down. I had just picked it up off the shelf at the library my mom works at and started reading it. Ended up falling in love with it, but I forgot to write down the authors name. So for the past 5 years I've been trying to find it. Today I finally found it, almost by accident, and I am SO happy. Seriously, this book is so well written and it drags you into the story.

I love this vocal selections book for Carousel! It worked wonderfully for audtion pieces and as pieces that can just be played and sung for fun. It has great arrangements of all the best songs! I highly recommend this book for any theater lover!

16 stickers total. Average size is 2 inches by 2 inches. All are very elegantly detailed. Animals included are an elephant, giraffe, cat, horse, bear, ostrich, tiger, goat, rooster, rabbit, and lion.

I am a woodcarver and have carved several small carousel horses. I am currently working on a half-size version and need really good reference materials. This book has been of immense help. The carousel animals chosen for the book are excellent and the photography is truly outstanding. To complement the photography, the printing in the book is remarkable. The author (and photographer) is knowledgeable so the information and the presentation are both of the highest quality. I have a considerable collection of books relating to wooden, hand carved carousel animals and this is among the best.

Very nice photos. Only 30 photos (post cards). Too pricy as a book for me. Very cheap if you plan on using them as post cards. I paid $9.00 (2006) so that's only 30 cents each, a real bargain for the quality. The publisher should print up Volumes III thru C, I might by them all!
