[.ca] No Flying in the House (ISBN 0064401308)

Very entertaining!:
I have two girls (ages 6 & 8), and we read a chapter of this book nearly every night, and we LOVED it! The characters were very memorable, and the storyline was very entertaining. I highly recommend this book. It will keep your kids attention and leave them begging for more. This is also a wonderful introduction to fantasy for young kids (talking animals and magic). Enjoy! - A Happy Mom!

The most magical book!:
I had forgotten all about this book. Today at the library, I saw it amidst some donated paperback books that were for sale. Immediately, I had a flood of memories from when I was seven!! (The kind of occurence that happens so rarely in ones lifetime.) The elbow kissing, the tiny little dog collar, the warm fuzzy feelings I remember from when I read the book. I'm going to read it again right now! My daughter is 8 and just the right age. Kismit?

The Green Group from Dairyland Review!:
We liked this book because it was a fairy tale. It was cool because it was about a dog that talks and did 367 tricks! It was about a girl that has a dog that acts like her mother. The girl is lonely because she doesn't have her parents. A cat tells her that she has special powers and that she is half fairy and half mortal. The little girl finds out that if she chooses to a mortal her parents will return from the Island of Exile. This book was sad, but had a really, really, really good ending!!! There is a secret surprise at the end! We would recommend that all of our friends read this book! We wish that there was a part 2, 3, 4, and 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stumbled across a very happy memory!:
I was actually searching for a children's book on flying for an upcoming trip that we're taking my son on, and this title popped up. Oh, what happy memories I have of this book! I can't remember how many times I read it as a child. I might just have to reorder it for old times sake. Definitely a children's classic that will stick with you for a long time!

An Overlooked Classic!:
More people should know about this wonderful book! I first read it when I was in second grade, and I loved it so much I begged my mom to special order a copy for me from the bookstore so I didn't have to keep checking it out millions of times from the school library. The story is so simple, a traditional fairy tale, really, but at the same time unusual, charming, and so enthralling I remember reading it under the covers with my flashlight because I could not sleep until I knew what would happen in the end.
