If you like Engelbreit you'll be disappointed.......2003-05-10

As a fan of Mary Engelbreit and a first time grandmother-to-be I thought this would be a fun book.
It was dumb, not amusing and definitely not worth picking up.

The perfect gift for Grandma.......2003-01-30

I bought this book as gifts for my mother and mother-in-law and couldn't have been happier with it. It is full of colorful, vibrant pictures and the words truly capture what a Grandmother is all about. Any Grandma would love this book!

Perfect gift.......2001-02-14

This book is a perfect gift for anyone you know that is going to be a grandmother or is already a grandmother. If you are invited to a baby shower, take along this extra little book for the mother of the mother-to-be. She will LOVE it!!!

A Happy Grandma.......2000-06-21

I just purchased this book for my mom. My baby will be her first grandchild. I had it gift wrapped and shipped to her directly, so it was a surprise. She was overcome with so much joy and emotion. I'm glad it made her so happy.

A must read for all age appropriate foster children and for all foster parents. Really helps give understanding to both roles.

Still remember it 20 years later!.......2006-06-15

I absolutely love this book!!!!!!
The first time I read it, I was about 10 or 11. Twenty years later, and now I'm a teacher and happened to notice that one of my students is currently reading the book. The cover art is still the same with the exception that my version was a hardcover copy. Seeing the book made me reminisce about it and want to find it again. Needless to say, I found my original version torn and tattered from years of rereading. I came on Amazon to find that the book is available as well as the other two books that complete the trilogy! I didn't even know there were sequels! Every urban African-American child should read this book. It's always nice to see/read a heartwarming story that AfricanAmerican children can relate to.

I Thought The Gift Was Absolutely Okay.......1999-06-14

I thought it was a great okay book. Mr Stine is an awesome writer but it was to predictable to see Jennifer Fear try to kill Ty Sullivan. Overall I thought it was good as long he keeps my favorite character stacy malcolm alive.

A little strange.......1999-06-11

This was one of the stranger Fear Streets. I like Jennifer and everything, but The story was odd and a little predictable. It isn't bad, though. You learn something about Jennifer that will totally knock you out of your chair. Want to find out? Go read it!

my review for The Gift.......1999-03-01

The Gift is my seventh favorite seniors book. It had a good plot to it, a cool main character(Jennifer Fear), it's shocking to who the killer is, and you find a really shocking secret about Jennifer! But what I didn't like about it is that the ending is kind of confusing, and the book was kind of boring. Other then that, a good book.

great book!.......1999-01-18

This is a very good book. It's suspenseful and will keep you on the edge of your seat. This Seniors series is one of Stine's best. Definitely read this book!

Lovingly reproduced to match the original 1947 printing, this handsome hardback edition of Miracle on 34th Street comes in a gift box with a painted wooden tree ornament.

Screenwriter Valentine Davies's film classic has been so thoroughly enshrined in the Christmas canon that it's impossible to read this book without picturing Maureen O'Hara and Natalie Wood as the harried Macy's parade organizer and her precocious daughter. But what makes this gift-box edition interesting is a short note describing the book's production, which happened at a frantic pace--Davies fairly credits director David Seaton for much of the book's inspiration, and over 400,000 copies were rushed through to premiere simultaneously with the film.

Other print versions of Miracle on 34th Street might be more fun (including one illustrated by beloved kids book author Tomie de Paola), but for that '40s, old-timey appeal, this gift box can't be beat (not to mention it being a safe, easy go-to for stuffing stockings and bringing gifts to holiday parties). (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes

Book Description

Trimming the tree and revisiting favorite holiday stories are cherished Christmas traditions in small towns and big cities across the country. This beloved book celebrating the powers of kindness and faith, restored to its original 1947 design, is paired for the first time with an old-fashioned wooden ornament, perfect for handing down--along with warm memories--through generations of believers.

Customer Reviews:

Great book if you liked the Edmund Gwen movie........2006-04-02

I bought this book because someone here reviewed it as "Better then the movie" Well it is exactly the same except for an extra line once every 20 pages or so.But is is a great book.

Possibly The Best Christmas Book Ever Written-.......2005-11-29

Wow! I love this book... and even now as 18 I still read this book to get me into that "Christmas spirit" I so desperately want to be in... I read this book every year it's one of my regulars on my holiday reading list.

Valentine Davies weaves such an impressive story that it will make the most skeptical child believe and it will make us that no longer can- wish we could. This is simply the perfect holiday story- one a parent could read to a child before they go to sleep or a story that a moderate second grade reader could read on their own without any difficulty...

I love reading this more than I do watching the classic version of the movie for Valentine Davies makes this book more magical than the movie could ever hope to be. All in all if you want to buy a book for the holidays- for someone on your shopping list this is definately one to buy! Or even own for yourself!

Miracle on 34th Street - LD NY.......2004-03-11

I read the book Miracle on 34th Street by, Valentine Daviesý. It was a fabulous Christmas fiction book. The main message or theme that I got from the book was anythingýs possible-you just have to believe.
Doris Walker is in charge of running the Macyýs Day Parade, which takes place on Thanksgiving Day. When her Santa Clause slacks off last minute she finds Kris Kringle and hires him to do the job. Kris does an amazing job. The only bothersome thing is he really and truly believes that he is Kris Kringle-Santa Clause. Doris doesnýt believe him, and thinks he might be insane. Along with Doris not believing in Santa Clause, nor does her 6 year old daughter Susan. Kris however wants to change that, he wants to make them believe..he believes Christmas is all about believing. Doris and her boss think Mr. Kringle is insane so they send him to a mental institution. Mr. Kringle then worries-what is going to happen with Christmas? How could he disappoint millions of kids all over the world? He some how has to find a way to save Christmas!
I loved the book. I read it around Christmas which seemed to make the book even better. It was a memorable book that I will remember constantly throughout the holiday season. It was so good I might read it every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It would be nice to have a tradition like that.
This book didnýt really relate to my Christmas Holiday Season. As a child I always believed in Santa unlike Susan did. My parents encouraged the belief of Christmas and Santa Clause until my brother and I started questioning and figuring things out. Still till this day I believe Christmas was always better when I was young and believed. It made the Holiday Season seem so magical.
Read Miracle on 34th Street to see if Susanýs Christmas was magical!

When You Believe.......2002-01-02

Doris Walker works at Macy's. She's in charge of choosing people to be in the parade, but when her Santa Claus shows up drunk she fires him and hires Kris Kringle on the spot. Kris believes he's Santa Claus, and Doris not believing in anything ignores his insistent opinion.

Of course, Doris has her 6 year old daughter Susan thinking there's no Santa Claus either, and Kris makes sure he changes the little girls mind. But trouble begins when he is admitted to Bellevue, a mental institution, and now with the help of his friend Fred, he must try to get out or Christmas will be ruined for everyone. Especially little Susan.

A MUST HAVE!.......2000-11-19

I have been working my way thru the process of divorce and came across this book in a Mary Englebreit store. Since that day, I read it before I go to sleep and when I wake up! It has been an inspiration beyond words. Everyone, yes everyone, experiencing change should have this book!

Order by the case!.......2000-10-11

After having a painful conversation with my elderly mother-in-law about the fact that some changes would have to be made if she wanted to continue to live at home, I saw this book. I bought it and then told my sister-in-law (her daughter) about it. She said, "Did you get it for me or John or Michael?" I should have bought a case of them. It applies to everyone at some time.

Hope in a tiny package........2000-04-30

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I searched for something that would give me comfort and hope. "Don't Look Back," became part of my treatment and recovery. I am now 4 years cancer free and continue to share this book with family and friends.

a must for people moving on in life.......1999-07-11

This book is a must have for anyone going through a change in their life. I graduated from high school this year and I have bought several copies for my friends who have moved away for school. It's is an optimistic look on moving on and I would recomend it to anyone. Also, Mary Englebreit's illistrations are spectacular.

I'm a fan of many cartoonists, but none make me laugh out loud as often as John McPherson's panels. His humor in this book reminds me of Gary Larson, but connects more closely to everyday life. He sees the humor in reality so that he only occasionally has to twist it.

better with color.......1998-02-14

This book would make a spectacular production if it were to eventually be printed in color. Is there a possibly of this? The black and white photographs do not do justice to the fabulous homes from the Victorian era, with all their ornamentaion and multiple colors. Waldhorn has done a remarkable job capturing the timelessness of these structures, and locating the most spectacular models in California. Unlike most books on the Victorians, this one is divided by features-"homes with towers", "gates", "homes with gables", etc. just to name a few. This book is nearly perfect; all it needs is to be published in color.

I love the illustrations of Sue Dreamer and that is what drew me to buy the book. What a pleasant surprise to open it up and find out that it is such a treasure. The book contains wonderful quotes and words to live by for anyone, young or old. The pictures that accompany the quotes are Sue Dreamer at her best. I plan on sharing this book with my 5 year old daughter, reading one quote a night to her. In this small way I hope to help her grow up to be a kind and caring human being.
