Webster's Thesaurus for Students, Third Edition
Webster's Thesaurus for Students, Third Edition

Review:This is a very competent thesaurus. However, I do not recommend it to new/young readers and writers. My son was lost without the 'lettered' pages and the small print. I'm definitely going to keep this book because it will be invaluable to him when he's 9-10 years old. I'm going to look for a more rudimentary option on Amazon. Good luck! Read more

Review:M. Gombrich as he claims in the introduction lets you relax and enjoy history and tries to connect the dots so that you remember the events.

I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark
I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark

Review:An awesome and inspiring book. My 3rd-grade daughter read it in school and liked it so much that she encouraged us to get it. Manages the tricky task of concisely covering the facts of RBG's biography in a way that also conveys the essence of her personality. As good as the best of the Who Is/Who Was books (which I also really like). Read more

Spanish-English Bilingual (Spanish Edition) - Primeras 100 palabras

Review:I was delightfully surprised upon receiving this product. The book is quite large (bigger than a standard textbook- but less thick of course). It is a nice board book with a good level of durability and nice solid spine. These are both important factors, as books without these features can get torn by a toddler.

Goodnight, Numbers
Goodnight, Numbers

Review:Catchy rhymes and adorable illustrations paired with math concepts makes this book a standout for bedtime. Each two-page spread highlights a number shown numerically and written out as a word along with a short lyrical stanza. “Goodnight, two hands. Goodnight, two feet. Goodnight, two ears, so small and sweet.”

The gentle watercolor and digital illustrations capture a diverse group of children and adults preparing for bedtime. Observant children will notice that there are several examples... Read more

Review:This rating is for the kindle version. The hard copy may be great. I plan on ordering it. The kindle version is not at all eye catching. The sample is just enough to know that I don’t want the kindle version. Read more
