The Big Big Big Book of Tashi

Rating:
Summary: I only wish there were more.
Review: I bought this book to read to my 4 year old son, who is ready for stories with more meat on the bones (a higher word-to-picture ratio and stronger plot) than most picture books. He loved it -- he was so sad the last night when he said "Dad, you forgot to put the bookmark in!" and my husband told him they had read the last story. We'll read it again and again, if his 6 year old sister (who reads at a 3rd grade level) hasn't run off with it -- again! It is great for kids ready for stories with real plot, but not for too-mature themes. Particularly good for boys, just because there are so few for them at this stage; a lot of the other stories in this niche are kind of princessy -- which my daughter loved, but which wasn't right for my son.

Summary: Undiscovered Treasure
Review: Tashi is a really funny book about a little boy who has adventures like Lord of the Rings, but not as scary. He tells the stories to his best friend Jack, who then tells them to his parents. I really like that at the end of each book, when Jack thinks everyone is safe and happy, Tashi always says, Until the Giant (or Bandit, or Dragon, or Ghost or witch...) comes! I recommend this book to everyone- it's a really good book to read out loud- I read it to my parents and even my bad brother liked it!

Summary: Katie and her Dad liked this book a lot.
Review: We think Tashi is a excellent book for all ages. Katie is nine and her younger sister is four, and they both liked the book a lot, as did their parents. The stories are not too spooky but exciting. We liked the charming "old country" that Tashi was from, created mostly by the pictures. Tashi has pointy hair and earings and wears a really cool jacket and boots. The houses in the "old country" look Japanese? Chinese? It's hard to say. It looked like a really nice place to live except for the warlords, baron, giants, flying houses, pirates and demons. We got swept up in the magical ride of "The Big Big Big Book of Tashi". We definetly plan to read "Tashi and the Dancing Shoes".
