David and the Phoenix

Summary: still one of the best stories ever!
Review: this wonderful little book has been tugging at the back of my mind for weeks now. Over 15 years ago, probably 20, as always scouring tag sales for books that would fit my youthful budget, I picked up a copy of this, possibly the original weekly reader release. The cover alone intrigued me. When I sat down to read it I was captivated... this book (and maybe my dad's love of Star Trek) probably began my love of sci-fi and fantasy... I knew there was a reason I keep hearing the part about when the newly born Phoenix brushes David across the forehead, which he feels "burning cooly" afterwards, in my mind... to come here and find out how many other people adore this book! Parents, this book is a must for your childs' collection... I would recommend it for adults, too - if for nothing else than to escape for a while back to our childhoods... now you must excuse me while I frantically look for my copy!!

Summary: Legends Become True!
Review: When I found out I was pregnant, I want to get my baby a copy of books that I grew up on. This by far is one of my favorite books. I can still remember having my 5th grade teacher read this to the class. This book instilled in me my love of reading. BUY IT FOR YOURSELF, YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR GRANDCHILD, who ever you want to.
