Kit's World: A Girl's-eye View of the Great Depression (American Girl)

2 reviews
Harriet Brown, Teri Witkowski

American Girl, 2008

Sheer delight!
Lovely interactive book for younger girls in order to understand what the Great Depression meant. Material is definitely more appropriate for the 8-10 yr olds vs the older girls, in contrast to the Welcome To Kit's World book which is much more in depth. (And not interactive.) Nonetheless, it is a delightful book, highly educational, yet lots and lots of fun! A+++

History, scrapbook style
I bought Welcome to Kit's World: 1934 last year when I was faced with a challenge: I was trying to assemble a credible family scrapbook that would feature pictures and stories from the early 20th century - particularly the 1930s - but I realized that I understood very little about that important decade in American history other than what I knew from a few books like Steinbeck's. My grandpa's ...

Mr. Wrong: Real-Life Stories About the Men We Used to Love

8 reviews

Ballantine Books, 2007

Love Is Strange
I thoroughly enjoyed this diverse collection of true tales, masterfully strung together to maintain its momentum--and to keep me reading one after another. The title proved a good hook, but once inside, I found very little gender-fueled smugness. The stories are filled with all-too-human love seekers, both male and female. Some of these real-life chapters are far different from my own ...

Best Babysitting Book Ever!!!
This book is so helpful! I say the reveiw "Sugar, Spice, and NOT Everything Nice," and I was dissapointed. I thought "We can not be talking about the same book!" This book is SO helpful. I used it when I first started babysitting and now everyone on my block asks me to babysit. This book shows how to change a baby, what do do in an emergency, what to do if you get scared while babysitting, small ...

Puffin, 1994

Our child loves Nicky.
We don't know why, but there's something endearing about Nicky. Our three-year-old loves him and so do we -- even though we're not cat people. Although she's not yet reading for real, Nicky Upstairs and Down is one of her favorites for "reading" aloud to her stuffed animals now.

Feed Me!: Writers Dish About Food, Eating, Weight, and Body Image
Harriet Brown

Ballantine Books, 2009

In our appearance-obsessed society, eating is about much more than hunger and sustenance. Food inspires pleasure and anxiety, shame and obsession. We are constantly judged on how we look, so we?ve come to judge ourselves (and others) on what and how we eat. These evocative essays, from some of the most talented and popular writers working today, tackle this universal subject with humor, longing, and compassion. Joyce Maynard writes about ...

What Rhymes With Eel?
This book is an excellent way to introduce rhyming to children. Studies show that the ability to identify and create rhymes is important to learning to read successfully. I use this book every year in my kindergarten classroom. Is there any way to encourage publishers to keep it in print?

Every page hides a delightful surprise- two words that sound exactly alike, with pictures to show their different meanings. Children will have fun guessing and peeking as they learn about homonyms.

Grandma and Grandpa come over for a family dinner that includes latkes n'applesauce. Modest gifts are exchanged and the book ends with the kids singing, "I Have a Little Dreidel".

A Good Bed Time Book
This lift the flap book is a good one for falling asleep for kids from about age 1 to 3. We started reading this book to my little brother about six months ago and it helps him get to sleep. It's a book about a kitten named Nicky and there are too many sounds around her. She asks her mother to make them keep quiet. And you lift the flaps to find out what is making the sounds. Finally it ...
