Lots of Feelings (Shelley Rotner's Early Childhood Library)1 review
Shelley Rotner
Millbrook Press, 2003
A Great Book to Teach About Feelings
I bought this book for my son who is 2 1/2 (and was born with Down syndrome) so he can learn about feelings and begin to express himself; to use words like "happy," "sad," or "angry" (instead of cry or scream like a typical toddler).
This book has become his favorite bedtime book and he will not let me read him any other books! And he wants me to read it over and over, or he sits and turns ...

Close, Closer, Closest
Atheneum, 1997
Dramatic, full-color photographs introduce young readers to the ideas of perspective and scale as they depict familiar objects from three different perspectives that teach children how to gauge the relative size of an object.

Hold the Anchovies!: A Book About Pizza1 review
Shelley Rotner, Julia Pemberton Hellums
Orchard Books (NY), 1996
my kids love this book!
My three- and five-year old children love this book. I found my three- year old telling her teacher how pepperoni is "peppery meat that comes from pigs," which is a direct quote from the book! The book is effective in helping youngsters understand that their meals and food items don't just exist in nature as they appear on the plate, and gives them a sense of how the environment relates to our ...

Where Does Food Come From? (Exceptional Science Titles for Primary Grades)2 reviews
Gary Goss
Millbrook Press, 2005
A great introduction to the primary sources of food
I know this will sound weird, but my 3-year-old has chosen this as his naptime story every day for the last two weeks. "Read the food book." He recites the words right along with me and sleeps with it on his bed.
Maybe it's the photos of children eating the food. Maybe it's the text written in an informative, yet fun manner. Maybe it's seeing pictures of the food growing on trees or vines ...

Feeling Thankful (Shelley Rotner's Early Childhood Library)1 review
Shelley Rotner
Millbrook Press, 2000
Beautiful Book
This book simply touched me as I looked at the beautiful photographs of children expressing thanksgiving for the things and people in their lives. Young children will be able to express their own feelings of gratitude as they look at the photos. Older children could even make a book of a similiar format themselves with their own personal photos or drawings. This is not a preachy book, but simply ...

About Twins3 reviews
Sheila M. Kelly, Shelley Rotner
DK CHILDREN, 1999
Invaluable for helping twins, siblings, friends & family.
There are plenty of books about twins for adult readers; this appeals to young picturebook readers with a photo-filled account of twins and their differences and similarities. This much-needed book is a 'must' for any collection seeking family-oriented books: it helps siblings understand the different possibilities and personalities of twins.

Action Alphabet 2 reviews
Atheneum, 1996
Wonderful photographs!
I am a speech pathologist in an elementary school in New Jersey. I am very fond of this book as are the children I work with. However, I had borrowed it from the school library, and had to return it now that the school year is almost over. So..I have decided to buy it, and have it for my very own library. It is colorful, realistic, and stimulates much discussion from children.

Every Season (Neal Porter Books)
Anne Love Woodhull, Shelley Rotner
Roaring Brook Press, 2007
Is Spring your favorite, when salamanders crawl out from under messy rocks? Is it Winter, when buds are waiting, covered in white? The narrator of this aural and visual treat takes readers on a stunning, cyclical journey through all four seasons. With an eloquent text and spectacular photos, this is a book that will not only inform, but enchant.
