Science in Seconds with Toys
My kids got tired of their toys. We do not have the money to buy new ones, so my eye caught this book. I LOVE IT!!!. The book gives a whole new adventure to our kids toys. They not only learned some important science concepts with them...they now look at all of their toys and try to think of other ways to use them. This book saved me money and taught my children some important academics! I ...

Over Rainbows and Down Rabbit Holes: The Art of Children's Books
Zora Charles, Lolly Robinson

Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, 2008

From Tumbling into Wonderland by Zora Charles "Literacy should not only include the ability to translate squiggles into letters and words, it should connect us to a universe larger than the one we inhabit, to our shared humanity and to the natural world. And nothing does that better than a well-crafted picture book."

Literacy and Art, a greatly inspired team
Kids favorite books inspire easy art activities for kids. Excellent. I've found that when the kids do art projects that relate to their favorite picture books, they like their books more and want to read them more closely, and more often. They become finely tuned to the illustrations, and certainly this is an inspiration to create their own art. I've got some favorites in this book. One of them ...

FUN BOOK FOR KIDS!!!
My children loved this book becasue they had fun with experiments. But my husband and I loved this book because it taught our children science conepts that we could never teach. We used this book until it got raggedy and torn and then my kids insisted on getting another copy! We highly recommend this book. Karen and Fred

Global Art: Activities, Projects, and Inventions from Around the World

Gryphon House, 1998

Love those Kohl books.
I enjoy all of MaryAnn F. Kohl's books, and this one is a little different than her others as it has a bit more in the way of finished products, though they are all arrived at by discovering and creating. Still, this book works well for those older kids who want a little more "fact" in their art. My favorite chapter revolves around Asian projects, in particular those from Japan.

A MUST for Home Educator's
I am a Home Educating mother of two. We have gone through literally dozens of Science books, some with sensational full color. However, this black and white back-to-basics book "Nature in a Nutshell for Kids" has been a knock-out with my kids! It's simple and the experiments/projects use things you already have in your home. The activities require that the kids get in touch with the world ...

Science Arts: Discovering Science Through Art Experiences (Bright Ideas for Learning)

6 reviews
MaryAnn F. Kohl, Jean Potter

Bright Ring Publishing, 1993

I never realized how beautiful science can be.
I had never really thought how beautiful and mysterious and colorful and delightful science could be. This book inspires me, a person who has never really liked science all that much. Now I do! And I will pass that on to my kids when we do the Chromatography Art Experiment and separate colors on absorbant paper. Can't wait!

Barefoot Books, 2006

La Fontaine returns with a splash
"The Hare and the Tortoise" is a gorgeous new collection of La Fontaine fables from Barefoot Books. Translated by Ranjit Bolt and illustrated by Giselle Potter, "The Hare and the Tortoise and other Fables of La Fontaine" contains nineteen fables as told by La Fontaine. Bolt writes in the introduction that La Fontaine's fables were not, of course, new in the seventeenth century, but "for the ...

Cooking Art: Easy Edible Art for Young Children

MaryAnn F. Kohl, Jean Potter

Gryphon House, 1997

A hit with the kids!
We all loved "Cooking Art" but especially my children. They loved looking through the illustrations, making the recipes and especially eating their "creations". One of their favorites was the "Zucchini Train". There's just something special about eating something that you yourself have created. Even my finicky eater licked his plate clean! The recipes are easy to do and if you don't have one ...

FUN AT THE BEACH
We bought this book at the beach and could not believe how much more fun the beach was. We learned things that were new and VERY interesting about the ocean and the life that surrounds it. We take this book to the pool and also do experiments. This book is great to teach children easy science theories with water and in places where children play in water. We use it at home and on vacation. Love ...

Aviation History Classic
This is one aviation classic that every pilot who is interested in the north, must own. Real Alaska history. Also you will enjoy FLYING NORTH SOUTH EAST AND WEST, by Captain Terry Reece, another great read covering not only Alaska, but polar expeditions, flying in the deserts of Africa and middle east.Flying North South East and West: Arctic to the Sahara

The Flying North

Comstock publishing, 1972

Aviation History at its best!
The Flying North by J Potter, is one of the best bush pilot books bar none, about flying in Alaska's early days when a hand full of pilots and mechanics set the stage for the transition from dog teams to aircraft and Alaska's early development. A book that should be on the shelf of all those interested in aviation history. I also recommend, Flying North South East and West, a non-fiction book on ...

Views from the Edge: Essays in Honor of Richard W. Bulliet (Published by the Middle East Institute of ...

Columbia University Press, 2004

These essays were written by colleagues and former students of Richard Bulliet, the preeminent Middle East scholar whose "most important contribution remains his extraordinary imagination in the service of history." The hallmark of the book, then, is innovative scholarship in all periods of Islamic history. Its authors share a commitment to asking original historiographical questions, with an overall orientation toward issues in social history.

Reply to the previous reviewer
Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the previous reviewer prefered to remain anonymous. Otherwise, we would happily have argued with him privately. But his review contains so many erroneous and obnoxious statements that we feel we have to reply publicly, at least on the most important points. a) After spending a full chapter (2) on empirical data and faithful models to describe them, we only ...
