This is the story of David, a boy who is considered to be a Moon-Calf by everyone in the village. When David’s friend, Hans Krout the Cobbler, tells David about his journeys up the moon-path, David wants to try it too. After a few attempts, David travels up the moon path to the moon, meets the Man-in-the-Moon and the Moon Angel, and also spends time in the Gardens Behind the Moon. Finally, David is sent on a mission to recover the Wonder-Box and the Know-all Book from the Iron Man.
This is a fun, easy book. Well, maybe not so easy. Half the time I have no clue what Howard Pyle’s talking about. This would be a considered a classic sort of fairytale, because, of course, David marries the princess at the end and has exciting adventures, but it’s still a very enjoyable story. So get out there and enjoy it!

Fairly short fantasy stories with animals by Rudyard Kipling.
I like this book. I enjoyed listening to Just So Stories on tape, narrated by Flo Gibson. However, I don’t think Amazon has the recording, but maybe you can get it at your library. Or you could just read the book and then you could see the illustrations!

Sophie lives in an orphanage for girls, where everybody is mistreated. One night, she looks out her window and sees a giant doing something at a house across the street. Suddenly, the giant reaches in her window and carries her off, back to giant land. There, the Big Friendly Giant, or BFG, tells Sophie that all the other giants are mean and ugly. They eat people every night, while he blows lovely dreams through children’s windows. Sophie wants to stop the mean giants, but what can they do?
This one is very funny. The BFG’s speech is very funny. You would probably never think of some of the things that Dahl finds to poke fun at, but they are hilarious. And don’t worry, just like in all of Roald Dahl’s books that I’ve read, the bad guys get their due!
