Rating: Summary: I loved this book! Review: I also used to check this book out of the school library over and over again when I was in grade school. I had forgotten the title and happened across it recently and was very excited to find it. It is a great story and I can't wait for my children to read it someday!
Rating: Summary: One of my favorites when I was Jenny's age Review: I am nine years old and I just read this book on a long car ride. It was so good I did nothing but read on the whole car ride. I liked Jenny because she was brave and she didn't give up on getting something that was really hard to get.
Rating: Summary: Thank goodness for Jenny Review: I am nine years old and I just read this book on a long car ride. It was so good I did nothing but read on the whole car ride. I liked Jenny because she was brave and she didn't give up on getting something that was really hard to get.
Rating: Summary: flashback ... Review: i have twin boys who have just turned five, and i cannot wait for them to be able to enjoy this book. (i might jump the age recommendation and get them going on this sooner than 9)i signed this book out of my public school library in etobicoke (toronto) ontario, and read and re-read it probably a half dozen times ... it's a classic.
Rating: Summary: The Trouble with Jenny's Ear Review: I read this book more than 30 years ago and still remember it vividly. I read it in the school library (over and over), and it is responsible for my love of reading. I was transported into the book, where I nearly believed I -=WAS=- Jenny. This is truly a magical story.
Rating: Summary: One of my favorites when I was Jenny's age Review: My sisters and I adored this wonderful book when we were kids. I read my dilapidated copy to my own children and wish it was still in print so I could give copies to all the kids I love. It's a wonderful story about a little girl who suddenly gains the power to read minds. She goes on a quiz show to get the money to save a favorite park in her community -- she can "hear" the answers. But of course nothing turns out exactly the way it was supposed to, and of course there is a very happy ending. One of the nicest things about this book is its lesson that we cannot read minds, but we can hear the thoughts and wishes of people we care about if we listen with our hearts. This is a little dated but a lot of fun, and very wise.
