The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien Amazon Price: $7.99
Customer Review: lighthearted wonderful read. pick it up if you want to be transported to a mystical world with rich and engaging characters and plot.
After reading this book, my main concern was "can I do this". After reading, I'm not only excited, but truly convinced that almost anyone with a brain can do what the book reveals.
Thank you Amazon and thank you Ray West.

The Jungle (Bantam Classics) by Upton Sinclair Amazon Price: $5.95
Customer Review: This novel does a wonderful job of painting scenes from the daily life of a family of Lithuanian immigrant workers in the early 1900s. Sinclair produces memorable characters and captures the spirt of the times well. However, it is not a great novel from a purely literary perspective due to its lack of depth and rather uneventful plot. This novel carved out its niche in history by exposing the unsanitary conditions of the meat packing industry of the day. Many credit this novel with setting in motion the wheels that ulitmately led to the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. This is a book that is worth reading because of its historical impact, but it is does not contain the ingredients of a literary masterpiece.
Shrek the Third: A Good King Is Hard to Find (I Can Read Book 2) by Catherine Hapka Amazon Price: $3.99
Customer Review: "The kingdom of Far Far Away needs a new king. Shrek and Fiona are next in line for the throne. But Shrek does not want the job. 'There must be somebody else', he says. 'Anybody?' There's only one way out. Shrek must find Fiona's cousin, a kid named Arthur Pendragon." -- From the book
This cartoonish book tells the story of Shrek, Donkey and Puss as they search for "Artie" so they can bring him back to rule Far Far Away. While they're gone, the evil Prince Charming has trashed the land--gathering arch villians from fairy tales for a battle against Shrek and his friends.
I haven't yet seen Shrek the Third, but my family and I are eagerly anticipating watching it in the theater this weekend. I almost wished I hadn't found out some major plot points ahead of time!
A Good King is Hard to Find is a Level 2 I Can Read book which means longer sentences, high-interest stories and language play for developing readers. Although no age group is mentioned, I think this would be a good book for readers aged 5-8--and for younger kids who love the Shrek movies.
We have three books based on Shrek the Third and this one sub-par in terms of both story and illustration. Rather than the glossy books that show what look to be actual movie stills--such as Shrek the Third: Royally Wrong--this book has mediocre illustrations, dull coloring, and a lackluster, disjointed plot.
Still, if your child is a big fan of Shrek the Third--and you'd like to encourage them to read--then this book may suit your needs. My 8 year old loves all the books and doesn't seem to mind the difference in quality.
