Jack: The Early Years of John F. Kennedy

3 reviews
Ilene Cooper

Dutton Juvenile, 2003

insightful and interesting
This look at JFK's early years is very amazing. I loved the idea of exploring his early years in depth. As a school teacher, I realized that so many of the students we see as average students or pranksters have great potential! The book shows JFK's relationship with his older brother as being very strained. I didn't realize they were so competitive, but this book points out how competitive ...

The Golden Rule

Ilene Cooper

Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2007

It's All in the Telling
This picture book successfully breaks a rule of writing: that it is better to "show" than to "tell," for it is a conversation, mainly a telling, the grandfather explaining to the child what the Golden Rule is--seeing it first on a wall, then walking along discussing it. He tells the child that in some religions it's stated in the negative, "Do nothing to other people that you would not like ...

Lucy on the Loose
I work with children who are either having problems reading or who are possibly having self esteem problems in the regular classroom. I bring my pet partner (bitsie a miniature daschund) into the school and the children (who are chosen by their teacher) read to her. I have been able to see them loose shyness and gain more confidence in their ability to read as the year has progressed. There ...

Finally a breakthrough into chapter reading!!
I've tried, unsucessfully, a number of times to introduce my son to chapter books. He is only four, but will be turning five soon. I wanted him to experience the imaginative process of developing an image in his mind from what he hears. This is the first book that has held his interest. He can't read it himself but I can see his face change expression as he listens - I know his mind is at ...

Great for young teens!
Does being thin really make all the difference? When Gretchen says good-bye to "Hippo Hubbard", she becomes the "new improved" Gretchen Hubbard. She actually starts to enjoy shopping for new clothes and even catches the eye of a cute fifteen-year-old boy who is making a movie nearby. Why didn't anyone notice her before? A good story with morals applicable to today.
