For those curious, John Cena did write a children’s book and yes my wife hates that my daughter loves it.

That's weird, usually 1st grade teachers love the Hardy Boys. Did you have a raging clue as to why she hated him?

Wait I remember this, some details don’t match, but I think it was “ROAR”
The Giants sideline reporter wrote a childrens book. Our sideline reporters are slippin.
The Hilda series by Luke Pearson is really great. I think Hilda and the Troll is the first one, but I don't think they necessarily need to be read in order.
Also, all the Raina Telgemeier. She has Smile, Sisters, Drama, and Ghosts, as well as graphic novel versions of the Babysitter's Club books that are fantastic. And Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson.
The Magic Horse of Han Gan -- Painted horse comes to life.
The Midnight Circus -- Mechanical horse comes to life.
Moonhorse -- Just beautiful illustrations of a magical horse visit.
The Carousel -- Merry-go-round horses come to life.

Reminds me of The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine.
Could it be this one?
The Two Princesses of Bamarre
Wildwood has a chapter called that: https://www.amazon.com/Wildwood-Chronicles-Colin-Meloy/dp/0062024701
I needed $3.28 and went with Tales of A Fourth Grade Nothing for $3.30. Thanks!
Operation Red Jericho, Operation Typhoon Shore and Operation Storm City.
This trilogy is based on the adventures of a 15 year old girl and her 13 year old brother and is set in the 1920's. The highly detailed illustrations, maps and plans only add to the excitement these books offer. I would have absolutely gone ape-shit over books like these as a young kid.
Highly recommended.
And good for you for encouraging your niece to read!
Warm hugs!
Frozen! <3
Your family is gorgeous, and those lucky tiny ones will have no memory of going to church! Side note: You might enjoy the picture book The Seven Silly Eaters. It’s about a family with seven kids and is absolutely delightful. We checked it out from the library and my kids loved it SO much we ended up buying it. (That’s only happened a handful of times) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0152024409/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Eyz-AbX21PSHY
My daughter is just going into 2nd too. If yours reading at a 6th grade level, then I would guess that Magic Tree House books are boring for her? My daughter will only read them if reading them to her little brother (he loves them). The first short chapter books that my daughter really loved were The Boxcar Children. She read a ton of them (there are well over 100). Now, she's seemed to have moved on.
This summer, she's been reading Harry Potter, Lots of Roal Dahl books, Little House on the Prarie books, Lion Witch & Wardrobe books, pretty much anything that we pick up, she'll read. Ask your public librarian for recommendations! We've gotten some good tips from them.
We just ordered a few on Amazon this past week as a friend had recommended some. This one was written by the lead singer of the Decemberists... it's ~550pgs, so a little long, but looks interesting (I kinda want to read it):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062024701/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
We've also recently picked up the first of the Mysterious Benedict Society books (upon recommendation of many):
http://www.amazon.com/Mysterious-Benedict-Society-Trenton-Stewart/dp/0316003956/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1377206633&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=mysterious+benedict+society
I've read and loved almost all of the recommendations already here (TAMORA PIERCE). But to add some that haven't been mentioned (and trying really hard to not overload you with 20 books at once), I read and reread Robin McKinley's The Hero and the Crown and its prequel so. many. TIMES. Maybe even more than I reread Tamora Pierce. Patricia McKillip, Maria Snyder, Patricia C. Wrede (Dealing with Dragons quartet), Althea Kontis, Francesca Lia Block, Libba Bray and Susan Fletcher (Dragon Chronicles) are similar authors to check out for awesome female-driven fantasy, with varying degrees of lightheartedness. Wrede, Fletcher, Snyder and Kontis all wrote books that lean a little less epic/serious, Block writes a lot in prose that's also a very quick (but more intense) read, McKillip tends to be more wordy but beautifully so, and Bray can kind of go either way depending on the series.
For more contemporary fiction, RACHEL COHN (of "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist"). Her Gingerbread series has content a good deal more mature than Angus, Thongs, etc., but her style is similarly irreverent and witty and really fun. Seriously, check her out. Sharon Creech's Walk Two Moons is like a much younger version of Cohn, still zingy and sweet. For a quieter modern-day read, Garret Freymann-Weyr writes realistic (more mature) young adult relationships, and introduced me to the idea of bisexuality in a sort of roundabout way.
Julia Alvarez relates stories about the Latina-American experience incredibly well, although I think the first book I read by her takes place solely in the Dominican Republic. According to my reading list, I guess young me got sick of reading about other white people, so I'll add Marjane Satrapi's hilarious graphic novel Persepolis and the more sedate Shabanu series by Suzanne Fisher Staples.
I'd also strongly second comments for Gail Carson Levine, E.L. Konigsberg, and did I mention Tamora Pierce?
(I tried to link a lot of authors to my faves from their work, but I won't be mad if you never look at any of them. Is your reading list long enough now? Also, I know you didn't ask for a ton of fantasy/historical fiction recs, but I think a lot of us defined our teenagerhood by and identified more strongly with one of those series or another.)
tl;dr my top three recs that haven't been mentioned yet are Rachel Cohn, Julia Alvarez, and that one duo by Robin McKinley.
As much as I liked Rikki Tikki Tavi, every time I hear 'Rikki Tikki', Im reminded of a character called 'Tikki Tikki Tembo No-Sa-Rembo Chari-Barri-Ruchi Pip-Perry-Pembo' in the book Tikki Tikki Tembo
Plenty of instances where Rikki Tikki Tavi and the Jungle Book has come up, but I have thought about Tikki Tikki Tembo since kindergarten.
Wrong era (turn-of-the-century) but the "All-of-a-Kind Family" books by Sydney Taylor are delightful. Yeah I know, they're meant for kids. But they're great. :) http://www.amazon.com/All---Kind-Family-Sydney-Taylor/dp/0440400597/

Apparently....theres a new book coming?! maybe based in a short or something?!?!
WOT?!
$2.06 on book list.
My daughter is as sick and cranky as me. There are random messes and tissues all over my house. Help distract her and me with a golden book.
Edit: that wasn't really a story.
A boat sails the water looking for a safe harbor. Shipmates look longingly out at the open sea for signs of land. Endless nights turn in to endless weeks and their hearts sink at the thought of never finding home.
Did I miss something?

LOOK WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN! Jenny Jaffe (Neurotica, Big Hero 6 The Series) teams up with Kelly and Katai to dig into a book all three of them have definitely read and comprehended, Richie Tankersley Cusick's Teacher's Pet, and to discuss extracurricular literature summer camp, when it's appropriate for students to read their teachers' erotic fiction, and the familiar concept of going into town to make money.

Next week's book: Goosebumps: Deep Trouble
BOOKS!! Ideally, hardcover.
It doesn't have to be the only thing there, but I think shelves like that look best with a decent number of books.
There are a couple of ways to easily and fairly cheaply fill your bookshelves.
If you have kids under age 10, there sets of Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and Boxcar Children books that run about $20 for 5 books. That's a reasonable price and if you have kids, someone will probably read them eventually.
The Strand Bookstore offers a couple of ways to buy a bunch of secondhand books for cheap without having to go through the stacks yourself. There's Books by the foot which offers bargain hardcovers for $15/ft and bargain hardcover fiction for $35/ft.
A lot of etsy and ebay sellers offer bulk books.
And (obviously) you could always go to bookstores yourself.
Your shelves look to narrow for bins, but you could fit magazine files. A row of them can look very nice, if you have a use for them.
Considering your overall color scheme, I would focus on lighter natural colored items. The purple pitcher is hard to see on the shelf and would probably work better elsewhere. I'd change the photos you have now into lighter, slighter bigger, maybe matted frames so they stand out. All the same frame might work best (and you could buy one or two extras for future use)
Possibilities: Chestnut magazine file, Off-white Fjalla magazine file, Puffin in Bloom collection, Barnes and Noble Collectible Editions, Barnes and Noble Classic Hardcovers, Anne of Green Gables set, Christmas Classic set, Nancy Drew Starter Set, Hardy Boys Starter Set, Ivory Mosaic frame, Copper frame, Darjeeling Carved Frame, Raised-Interior Frame, Small Volcanic Ash Vase, Spirit Stem Vase, Brass Duck Bookends, Brass Duck sculpture, Brass Swan Family, Brass Apple Paperweight, MCM plate, Lenox Vase, Lenox Bud Vase, Dragonfly Trinket Box, Florentine Box, Set of 2 Florentine Boxes, Hull Moon Basket, Brass Cricket Box, Pair of Shawnee Vases.
I loved these giant bricks so much at that age! Superfun for basic stacking as well as advance building.
Should probably wait a bit on this one, but Cootie is the best game ever for the preK & K crowd. Another classic game is Memory.
Have some construction paper, brown paper bags (I cut the bottoms off, then down one seam and use the backside as kraft paper), markers, and crayons. Even the 2 year old can rip paper up and stick it to contact paper to make fun collages! Bonus, no need for scissors!
And please don't forget books! Board might be best for the little girl, but if she's not an eater/tearer, then go ahead and get paper or hard backs. Rikki Tikki Tembo, a Seuss collection, Where's Spot, some Eric Carle, Carl, Richard Scarry, Jamberry, and some Little Golden Books ought to be a good start! Protip: Thrift shops have tons of books for kids in great condition.
The Seven Silly Eaters? They make a cake for their mom at the end.

Great list!
P.s.- Colin from the Decemberists wrote a book and came to talk to my students about it!
Oh dang. Right I thought you meant Art of Frozen.
Edit: What about this?
You just have to pay like 300% more no biggie XD

>Are these books considered canon?
There are two answers to this. One is that they're canon unless Frozen 2 contradicts them. The second (and more likely answer to me) is probably not because I don't know if the filmmakers have read the books.
>Is there a comprehensive guide or list of all Frozen-related books?
There are plenty of books according to this site, but I don't know if that's everything.
>Have you read any of the books? What did you think of them?
I've picked up a few comics, and while I do like the artwork and some of the stories are fun, nothing too big happens in them. However, I have not read the Dark Horse Comics publications, and those stories seem a little bigger than Hearts Full of Sunshine and Travel Arendelle. I have also read The Art of Frozen, and it's definitely worth a pickup for the concept art at the very least. Also, I like the cover of that book. There's also A Sister More Like Me, and I'd also recommend that for the artwork and the different proses for the sisters. One of the storyboard artists did the artwork for the book, and the book shows other sides of them (particularly their childhoods), but I don't know if the book is canon or not.
Everything, everything, everything Frozen.
I second the suggestion for art supplies and books. Put it together and go for a doodle book, a kind of middle grade coloring book.
Some great cheap ideas that you can package all together (the more gifts for a little girl, the better)
Hope this helps!
This has some resemblance to your description: https://www.amazon.com/Haunted-Sister-Lael-Littke/dp/0805057293
I couldn't find anything better, sorry!
The Roar by Emma Clayton?
Can you find a source for that which doesn't come from the team or a news article?
The company responsible for the contest made a description of each name to help people understand it.
>According to the team, here are the descriptions behind each name:
>Bullheads: A local inhabitant of the Susquehanna River, a Bullhead is a bullhead catfish. The bullhead displays a tough and resilient character such as the Binghamton community.
>Gobblers: A symbol of the rich hunting culture of the area, the "Binghamton Gobblers" honors the outdoorsman lifestyle and turkeys who call Binghamton home.
>Rocking Horses: The "Binghamton Rocking Horses" celebrates the Triple Cities' rich history as the "Carousel Capital of the World."
>Rumble Ponies: A tribute to the Triple Cities' carousel heritage, the "Binghamton Rumble Ponies" is a herd of fierce horses that no carousel center pole can contain.
>Stud Muffins: While tipping a cap to the players on the field, the "Stud Muffins" celebrates the collection of carousel horses belonging to Binghamtonians.
>Timber Jockeys: Combining the fun of Minor League Baseball with the rich carousel history of the Triple Cities, the "Binghamton Timber Jockeys" pays homage to everyone that rides the carousels.
I've never seen or heard of a Rumble Pony in the Southern Tier before this contest and every search result pulls up the team name. The articles all talk about her having dreams and a book on carousels being her inspiration for the name.
Edit: Here is a better article talking about here "inspiration." Also I'm not trying to be an ass, if anyone has an actual reference to a Rumble Pony I'd love find it.
Is there any way we can make an amazon smile sticky thread so everyone sees it?
For anyone who doesnt know Amazon donates something like 1% of their sales through this site to a charity of your choice. I know it doesnt seem like much but think of how many people order through amazon? much less this sub alone? If we all start ordering through this version of Amazon think of the good we can do! Roughly I order 200$ worth of amazon merchandise a month so I give 2$ a month to the Aquarium of the Pacific AKA The Long Beach Aquarium...because I love them. I got the pet baby hammerhead sharks at that place. My favorite animal of all time. Like seriously. Do any of you remember that Goosebumbs book with the cover being a hammerhead circling a swimmer?
