The telling of how the “spectacular event” occurs, through the eyes of multi-colored birds, is a beautiful and simple rendition of the Christmas Story. The signature artist style of dePaola is the perfect addition to his soft text. The perfect gift to give to others or yourself. A must read for the holiday season.~ Reviewed by Jeanette

A bad case of tonsillitis requires surgery. And Violet isn’t so sure she wants to. But a new friend (with a unique surprise) and ultimately Violet’s imagination about a purple pill the doctor gives her and her thoughts she is sure becoming an opera singer on the radio is just around the corner, convince her otherwise! Continuation of the adventures of Violet started in Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot. ~Reviewed by Jeanette

Introducing Violet Mackerel, a plucky seven year old who is right up there with Amber Brown, Ramona Quimby and Junie B. Jones! She has her theory about small things equaling big rewards. She has her family and she has an idea on how to get the China Bird she so very much wants. But sometimes, this little girl’s ideas are bigger than she is, and things don’t always work out how she planned. They sometimes turn out better! Great for the early chapter-book reader or great read-aloud. Fun awaits our heroine, Violet and reader both! Continue with Violet Mackerel's Remarkable Recovery. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
