    Seller shipped out the DVD miniseries called THE KENNEDY'S to me very quickly and it arrived earlier than listed and well wrapped up for the journey. They have great buy two get one free sales and their prices are great. The dvd set was listed as good and it showed up looking as new. I keep coming back to them for their veritery, prices, shipping speed and communication. Don't know yet if it's a good miniseries, but it is a good seller to buy from.

    Item came on time and as described, have already done business with seller as this was a replacement for a refunded defective copy of the same set of DVDs. This copy worked great. The seller refunded my defective copy without hesitation and gladly allowed me to buy again. I will buy from this seller if they have any other DVDs I ever need. This is the kind of seller you want to buy from. They communicate well too.* The DVD set was a fantastic price too, thanks again.!

    This is part of a multiple shipment. There was a question about one item in the package, which was resolved, so the package arrived later than expected. However, it was well packed and arrived in great shape. The movies contained were exactly what I ordered, and all as described or better. I give 5 stars all round, including for shipping time, because of the reason behind it. It all leads to great service. Communication is excellent; variety, price & quality also. I highly recommend this seller.

    Great for new readers.

    Clever poems that are relatively quick to read and words are appropriate for new readers. Kids feel a sense of accomplishment when they get the humor and can read many poems in a sitting. Unlike with a chapter book which can sometimes be intimidating or just take too long.

    light in the attic

    I was upset when I got this. I did not realize it did not have the original cover on it. That was part of the charm. WHile it might have been my oversight by reading carefully (I had no idea what no dust meant) I was not pleased with the condition of this book. The book is the book. Content is great.

  • Compelling to the young and we who are older!

    My third graders always love these, and other Shel Silverstein works! Now, I have this to send to my French granddaughters who will love them too!

  • Wonderful

    Love the ryming and the cleaness of the book. My favorite author since the Giving Tree. The Author was not a role model but his books are wonderful.
