An increasing number of hungry monsters create general chaos at a boy’s house as they look for something to eat.
Everything here is in rhyme. For the first ten pages or so, the monsters ask to be fed. For the next ten, the boy brings out food. To finish the book, the monsters play with their food until the boy gets fed up with them (no pun intended).

“Oho!” you say. “Sarah finally gets to read Redwall books!” Not quite. This can serve as a hold-over picture book for younger readers who can’t read the Redwall Series yet. (Like me.) There’s another Redwall picture book called A Redwall Winter’s Tale. Older readers who can read the Redwall Series will probably enjoy these picture books, as well as younger readers. I didn’t have much trouble understanding the mole-talk. (Except once, and then I finally got it figured out.) And now, here is a delightful summary of The Great Redwall Feast!
The animals in Redwall are preparing a secret feast for the abbot. After the abbot wakes up from his nap, he goes with Constance, Foremole and Matthias on a Bobbatan Quest for a Weary Nod. Is the abbot turning old and silly?

When Diamond, a little boy, meets the North Wind, he goes on several adventures with her, riding safely in her arms or her hair. (Yes, you read that right, in her hair. She has lots of it.) At one point, Diamond even gets into the place at the back of the North Wind, where everything is wonderful. In his everyday life, Diamond soon becomes friends with a little orphan girl and does what he can to help her. He and his family go through several ups and downs and, unfortunately, the book ends sadly.
Well, actually, it wasn’t too sad when I re-read it for this review. I will warn you, though, that this is not the kind of book you can skim through! Unless, of course, you’ve read it half-a-dozen times and almost know it by heart. (Which I haven’t.) If you skip around in this book, you will most likely end up either Clueless and Baffled, or Mixed-up and Puzzled. Take your pick. Anyway, this is another almost nonsense book, a lot like The Garden Behind the Moon, (Do I sense a title theme here?) and it is very fun to read. Oh, and there’s also some poetry in it, too.

A Tolkien Miscellany (Paperback)
by J.R.R. Tolkien
ISBN: 096546377X
Price: —
33 used & new available from USD 0.50
This is a book containing some of J.R.R. Tolkien’s poetry, 16 poems to be specific. It has several that I hadn’t read before, and some old friends, including Oliphaunt, and Frodo’s The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late. Thoroughly enjoyable.
A great collection. Please keep in mind that this in not a complete collection of Tolkien’s poems. I enjoy poetry, and this book was neat to read.
As this book is out of print, the only place we could find it available to buy was A Tolkien Miscellany, where The Adventures of Tom Bombadil is included. See our Book Tips page for pointers on how to find out of print books.

Pierre is a boy who doesn’t care about anything. What will it take to make him care?
This is a charming story. I put it under the category of Younger Readers, but even though I read much more advanced books, I still love Pierre.
