5.0 out of 5 stars How it all began, October 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ragweed (The Poppy Stories) (Hardcover)

This book shows what Ragweed did before he got to Dimwood forest. The prequel to Poppy is as fun as ever, with it's own new set of villans, and characters. It also shows how different city life can be from the country. This is a fun, quick read for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars The runaway mouse, March 9, 2001

This review is from: Ragweed (The Poppy Stories) (Paperback)

In the story Ragweed is by the author Avi. It is about a mouse which decides to explore the New World. He wants to see the lights, people, and excitment. He ended up in a city called Amperville. He thought it was a nice town until he figured that many cats live there and are in search for mice. With Ragweed, Blinker, and Clutch they build a new club named Cafe Independent. Read the exciting and adventurous story of Ragweed on his suicide run for the city. If I was in confusing in reading a book, I would recommand this book. It is very well written and high vocabulary. The story was well planned out and I am sure it took a lot of time for the author to think of such a story. The illustrations are incredibly magnificent and helped in the understanding of the bood. This book will fill you with thrills and suspence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Ragweed (The Poppy Stories) (Hardcover)

Ragweed is an extraordinary book filled with suspense and action. In this book Ragweed and his friends fight F.E.A.R. (Felines Enraged About Rodents). Silversides and Graybar are the F.E.A.R. cats. The mice win the battle, and become free of Silversides and Graybar. I recomend this book to any and every young reader.
