Jane and the magician

Order processed and received in good time. This is a great book and the story line fascinates the kids.

Nephew loves it

My nephew loves the TV show and now he wants his Mom to read the dragon books every night, too.

Baynton does it again

Once again, Baynton has written a lovely, wonderful twist on your standard fairy tale. His spunky, likable heroine Jane is back in a new adventure that has some gentle lessons for young men and ladies: namely that acting in anger can cause harm to others and that it's important to take responsibility for one's own actions. Baynton teaches these lessons in a way that is not at all preachy and that is, rather, engaging and lively. His illustrations are awash with beautiful colors and are every bit as attention getting as the story itself. I highly recommend both this book and Jane and the Dragon and particularly for girls. It's wonderful to see books in which a girl is strong and remains true to herself.
