Octopus's Garden
I liked this book because I learned alot of facts. The pictures were really cool and I liked learning how they disguise themselves and how the mother octopus lays here eggs near her den where she can watch them. It is sad because she dies after the babies hatch. I recommmend this book for all ages.

Painters of The Caves (National Geographic Society)2 reviews
Patricia Lauber
National Geographic Children's Books, 1998
Artist Approved!
My artwork is inspired by the cave paintings of Lascaux, France, and this is *the* book I take with me to shows and exhibits to explain my work. Although supposedly geared for elementary age readers, I find the book an excellent, coherent overview to this amazing art. The photographs are first-rate. The modern paintings of imagined scenes from the past are well done--attractive, detailed, ...

Very Appealing to Children
This book is very well written and will entice reluctant readers. Children will love the references to underwear and "sleeping bare".

Be a Friend to Trees (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, Stage 2)
Patricia Lauber
HarperTrophy, 1994
Why should you be a friend to trees? Trees are a valuable natural resource. People depend on trees for food, and animals depend on trees for food and shelter. But most important, we depend on trees because they add oxygen, a gas we all need, to the air. While trees give us many wonderful products, we must also protect them because we can't live without them.

Excellent biography for children
I use this novel in my fourth grade classroom and it is a hit! It is finely written and easy to understand. I recommend it to any child who is interested in aviation, adventure, or just wants to read a story about a strong person like AE.

Spaceship Earth - book to read on Earth Day
Consisting of thirty-two pages we begin You're Aboard Spaceship Earth by viewing a shuttle blasting off into space. For anyone living in Florida this is an awesome sight to take in as well as listening as the shuttle orbits. There are times when landings must take place in California when Florida is having severe weather problems and this is worth observing as well.

great book!
The book shows a lot of unusual picture showing our planet. It made me understand the Earth more easier while I'm reading the facts written in the book.

What You Never Knew About Tubs, Toilets, & Showers (Lauber, Patricia. Around-the-House History.)5 reviews
Patricia Lauber
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2001
Another great book by this author/illustrator team!
After I had read their book on the history of dining, I couldn't wait for this one. Tubs, Toilets and Showers handles the awkward subjects of what you do in the bathroom and how people used to do it. It has vignettes from several cultures and time periods. Many children (and some adults) will be surprised to learn that the Europeans came to value cleanliness much later than did many other ...

Purrfectly Purrfect: Life at the Acatemy1 review
Patricia Lauber
HarperTrophy, 2001
Purrfect Read!
At school, I just read this book and I loved it. It has a great plot, and what I liked most about it is the play on words. It changes words like "academy" into "acatemy".It also showed copies of essays cats had written too! Last of all, I thought it was great how each cat had its own personality! It was easy to read, and great for kids (and parents too!)of all ages. I definitely recommend this ...

Clarence, The TV Dog1 review
Patricia Lauber
Scholastic Book Services, 1971
A very cute and humorous book.
I read this story over and over as a young girl and I saved my well-worn copy to pass along to my kids. I just recently read Clarence The TV Dog to my 8 year-old son and he enjoyed it just as much as I had. Clarence was a real dog and the book is about the fun little adventures he had in his home and neighborhood with his owners, a young boy and girl and their mother. The author wrote on the ...
