Customer Reviews

Sydney's Star is the Best!

We bought this book for our daughter a month after she was born. We have read it to her at least once a month since then. It is a great book about a little girl inventor. The reason I logged on tonight is I was hoping to see several sequels to buy. Please write more episodes, Sydney could rival Olivia! Thanks, Brian C. Reinoehl Sydney's Star

Rare

I am biased as I created this book! It is out of print now, but I hope to bring it back with a new edition. Sydney's Star is a special story to me.

Reynold's does it again!

Another storyline from Reynold's that celebrates individuality and uniqueness; this time the character, a mouse, learns that even though things don't always go as she plans or expects, she still gets her wish in the end..just through different means. This book is viewed as a children's book, but like Reynold's others,( The Dot, Ish, So Few of Me, The North Star,) adults will appreciate the underlying theme; in this one, it's the idea that we may never know how we c=impact people's lives. This book is out of print, but you can still find copies from other sellers.
