Fun tale of where words come from!
Where do words come from? Why, for example, do we call a chair a "chair"? Why not call it a "gronk" or "whooba-loop" or something completely different?? Who decided that the thing we walk on is a "floor" and what's above our heads is "sky"?? They could have just as easily been called something different, right?? Why are some words short and others long? (why, for example, is the word ...

Great Kansas Book!
I recently checked this book out for my daughters from our local library. They loved seeing about all the things that make Kansas great. We enjoyed it so much that I'm purchasing one for us and one to give as a gift to a friend. Very educational for older readers too!

A Really Special Book
This book received a 2004 nomination for the prestigious Newbury Medal awarded annually to the top children's picture book. The glowing colors and happy moon face delight preschool children as well as anyone who loves colorful artwork. The artists did a wonderful job on this.

A Wonderful Classroom Tool!
I recently purchased "P is for Passport" and I loved it. This is a superb book and I would strongly recommend it for any grade level of teacher. I used it to help a presentation over world languages for a summer day camp. The kids ranged from K-6. They all loved it. The kindergarteners could go along with the alphabet and the sixth graders could relate it to their world geography studies.

One Nation is One Great Book!
One Nation is a "follow-up" to A is For America by the same author as this book. The rhyming schemes flow easily for reading aloud to children and the pages are packed with US trivia tied to numbers(i.e. the number 4 is explored using Mount Rushmore's 4 presidents and the site's history). Also impressive with this book is the illustrations. Again, the same illustrator that did A is For America ...

Great book!
This book has amazing full-page illustrations on every page for every letter of the alphabet. Each letter of the alphabet has a little poem to explain various military terms. Then, the sidebar for each letter contains additional information. For example the letter "A" page: the main text reads, "Give me an A for Army, and an A for Air Force, too. An A for all the Armed Services behind the ...

T - A Treasure Trove of Trivia, for Tykes and (pre)-Teens
I really like this book. It's been in my 5-year-old's collection for about 2 years now, and it still get pulled down and read every few weeks. Devin Scillian has done a fantastic job of using events and facts from just about every imaginable facet of American life, both well-known and obscure. For example, the book mentions the YMCA, Harriet Tubman, "The Twilight Zone", Kellogg's Rice Krispies, ...
