Northshire Bookstore Review
Reviewed By... Cynthia Richards
This stunningly illustrated version of the Christmas favorite is a visual feast for all ages. With each day, the scenes become more complex as characters from the preceding verses are elegantly incorporated. Children will delight in finding the “hidden pictures” and adults will enjoy reading and singing along.

The riveting story of the Titanic never ceases to intrigue readers. Allan Wolf's historical fiction tells the story in verse woven with archival data. Told from many perspectives, from across all classes,the story comes alive. Author's notes at the back provide fascinating facts and even a key to Morse Code.

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen and filled with literary references from classics such as Narnia and Pullman's Golden Compass trilogy, Breadcrumbs is original, beautifully written, and au courant. Join Hazel as she dares to enter the frozen woods to save her best friend Jack from the enchantment of the ice witch. (ages 9-12)

Northshire Bookstore Review

A graceful and engaging memoir of the author's coming of age in the former Soviet Union during the 1960's and 1970's. Exceptionally well written and notable for being upbeat, in contrast to so many "poor me" stories in this genre. As an American woman who grew up in the same period, I found the juxtaposition of the two cultures fascinating and beautifully told.

 While I am happily ensconced in the Northshire's children's department ,
I read all over the store. If you graze my reviews, you will find my favorite books,
from toddler picture books to Nobel Prize winning fiction,
and even some toys and gifts. A retailer for going on 20 years, I owned
Bear Hugs and Baby Dolls, a specialty store in New York City for eight.
I have two children, both avid readers, and two dogs - Daisy and Tail.
