Animals
Review:Bought this as a bedtime story for my daughter. It is quickly becoming a favorite to read almost every night. My daughter loves animals, so she enjoys seeing how the different animals sleep. I enjoy reading this to her as much as she enjoys hearing it! Read more
Review:I picked up this book while pregnant with my daughter because I feel in love with the illustrations and text. I read it out loud repeatedly before she was born, and countless time while try to soothe her to sleep during her 1st weeks of life. It was the first book I memorized. As she has gotten older, we've enjoyed the book in different ways since she is now looking and pointing to the pictures. Read more
Review:A literacy volunteer brought this book to my attention. It is a great way to introduce poetry, a writing journal, and learning new words in a manner that readers and beginners of any age can appreciate. I can see how Jack's story would lend itself to discussion. The idea that sentences and poetry can take many forms...varied .spaces between words or thoughts, different size fonts, written in circles or other recognizable shapes, and that not all poems involve rhyming couplets is liberating. It a... Read more
Review:These books are the best. Beverly Cleary is so good. I fell in love with Ralph when I was young so I got these for grandchildren. I think everyone and age should read. Stimulates brain, learn new words and takes you with Ralph on his adventures! Read more
Review:Although the description of THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN Kindle book reads "Length: 284 pages (Contains Real Page Numbers)", the Page function (under the "Go to..." feature when you press Menu on my Kindle Keyboard) is greyed out -- there are NO page numbers available. Why Amazon doesn't add a little more information (i.e., that the Page Numbers aren't available to all Kindles) to the description is beyond me. Read more
Review:I remember when I was a kid absolutely loving this book! As a child, I loved the heroic tale of Balto and enjoyed the detailed pictures. Now, almost 20 years later as an artist, I still enjoy the illustrations and simple plot. Great for kids! Read more
Review:It is also interesting from an adult perspective because Mark Kelly explains the background of his idea for the book and relates it to his own experence. Also the book has interesting facts about NASA and the space program. Read more
Review:(Originally posted on Michelle & Leslie's Book Picks book blog.)
Rain Reign was amazing, powerful, emotional and I really related to it. I'm giving it 5/5 stars.
To tell you guys the truth, when I was contacted to review** Rain Reign I didn't quite know what to expect, especially because it's described as a "powerful story" and "brilliantly told." I mean, I devoured all of Ms. Martin's Babysitter's Club books I could get my hands on when I was in the fourth and fifth grade, but... Read more
Review:Classic story that's been around for a long time. It's a great way to respond to young kids, especially boys, who are longing for "blood and guts" stories. It's spooky but G rated. I'm an education specialist and I'm using it with two second grade boys who are loving it! Read more
Review:The beginner books by Robert Lopshire are not "twaddle." They (New Tricks I Can Do and I Want to Be Somebody New) are wonderful for primer and level 1 readers. The kids fall in love with the stories and want to read them over and over!
My Title I kids THANK YOU for a used book in excellent condition! Read more
