Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball
Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball

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

Love That Dog
Love That Dog

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

The Trumpet of the Swan: Full Color Edition

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

Rain Reign (Ala Notable Children's Books. Middle Readers)

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

Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery

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
