Children Just Like Me: Celebrations!
Children Just Like Me: Celebrations!

Review:I bought this book recently to supplement my primary schooler's global cultures education. Something I did not note before purchase was the publishing date of 1995. Many of the pictures are in fact outdated now. But my chief complaint is that the buyer understand as I did not- this is not an atlas-accurate depiction of children by percent population in each country; it is actually more a compilation of minority cultures. The example children from the United States reveals this. For example, p... Read more

It's Christmas, David!
It's Christmas, David!

Review:My Grandson Ethan loves All of the "David" books and so do I.
I've tried to buy every David book I can find because I know that Ethan will be so happy to receive it and read them.
Ethan loves the David books so much that he asked me to create a No! Ethan book for him and I did!!!
I can't tell you the look on his face when I gave him his very own No! Ethan book, it was priceless and worth the hours I spent making it.
The character of David is too cute and a bit mischievious and very s... Read more

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Review:Barbara Robinson has pulled off the once-in-a-lifetime feat of a nearly perfect story about a highly disliked and marginally criminal family of kids who, for entirely selfish reasons, force their way into all the main parts of a church's Christmas pageant. This is one of the few books that made me laugh out loud while still showing me that anybody can learn something good, at least for a little while. Read more

Creepy Carrots!
Creepy Carrots!

Review:Are the carrots really creepy, or do they represent the scary things children confront in their lives? The orange shapes on black and white ground are fun and effective. The uncomplicated story encourages children to think and shows them positive action when you are afraid. Then the story has a funny ironic twist at the end! What a super book for all ages! Read more

The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade (Bank Street College of Education Flora Stieglitz Straus Award (Awards))

Review:The year that this charming and very informative book was being written, I had the pleasure of being called upon by the author, Melissa Sweet to lend some assistance and historical data on Tong Sarg, and the legendary Macy balloons. Having based years of archiving the history of Sarg and the balloons, as well as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade- together, we explored the fascinating history of the man know as "Macy's Mister Everything." Sarg's original association with RH Macy & Co. began ... Read more
