In the remainder of the book, we visit other continents, and see lunches in countries such as Ghana, Israel, Italy, and China. There is a map at the end of the ...

Peter Smith Pub Inc, 2001

The Times They Are A'Changin'
"A Frost in the Night" sets itself apart from other literature that focuses on the Jewish experience, the Holocaust in general. The plot takes place during the final days of freedom before Hitler came to power and the Third Reich reigned. It is a gently paced story of young Eva, a Jewish girl learning to cope with the changing tide of fortune and the labels she will be branded with as the ...

Wonderful book for multiculural and transportation lessons
Next year I will be a teacher and I am starting to build my classroom library now. This book is a wonderful book to have. It discusses forms of transportation that most children would not think of. It also teaches them about other places in the world.

A valuable contribution to multicultural children's literature
This edition is the Spanish Language Version. I found this book to be a very interesting way to introduce young children to cultures from around the world. Twenty-three different children/groups of children are introduced in this book along with how they get to school. Nine of the children featured are from the US, but children from Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, Canada, and Mexico, are also ...

Barrons Educational Series Inc, 1996

Excellent
I bought this product a number of years ago and return to it whenever I travel to Germany. It's the most sensible approach I've yet found to learning a few of the essential words, phrases, etc. that you'll need when traveling in a foreign country. Highly recommended. Jon Thompson

Star Bright Books, 2007

Words can be written, printed or penned, Put on a blackboard or mailed to a friend... This reissue of a charming Edith Baer poem, coupled with Kyra Teis' colorful new illustrations, expresses the significance of words in everyday life. The rhyming couplets are easy to memorize, and the underlying meaning demonstrates the role of language and how words affect us.

This Is the Way We Go to School (Audiocassette Tape)
Edith Baer

Scholastic Inc., 1991

With the opening couplet, "One by one or two by two, come along, it's fun to do!", children are treated to a lively, lyrical peek into the world beyond Hometown, USA. Each page (or, predominantly, double-page) shows and tells how children from very different cultures travel to school. The scope is broad, ranging from the desert sands of Egypt to Switzerland's snowy peaks. The exuberant watercolor washes (reminiscent of James Stevenson's style) ...

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1998

Okay for some kids!
I read this book when I was 13. I am now 14. I understood this book and its message, and did not find it unsettling. However, people older than me can appreciate it as well. It is a beautifully written book that does not hide the pain and hardship of this time in history.

French for Starters
Edith Baer, Celia Weber

Cambridge University Press, 1986

Ideal for the adult learner considering a holiday in France, who has either learnt no French before or is conscious of having learnt 'the wrong kind'. The content of the French for Starters Paperback is based on what a traveller would need to say when on holiday in France in predictable, and some amusingly unpredictable, situations. The first part deals with 'What you will need to say' and covers simple grammar points as they arise. The second ...

The wonder of hands

Edith Baer

Parents' Magazine Press, 1970

The pictures are worth every penny!
This is a lovely book that uses simple words and ideas to tell us how many wonderful things we can do with our hands. We work, play, fight, love and explore our vast world with them. The black-and-white photographs depict people of many ages and races doing things with their hands...so powerful are the pictures that the words almost seem secondary to the book itself. Great book for young ...

Cambridge University Press, 1983

Pretty good introductory text; however, a little dated
This series in general is a wonderful window in real-life usage of a foreign language. However, a lot of things have changed since the copyright date of 1985. Overall, though, it is a pretty good introductory text.
