Jazzy Alphabet?Hip to the Jive, Cool Cats!
Sherry Shahan's 'The Jazzy Alphabet' is the hippest A-B-C ever to hit the streets. This alphabet is really cookin' hot or cool. It's the only boogie-boppin', singin' and rompin' family of letters around. The text is rhythmic and with it in the blues jargon. Parents you may have to tell your little ones what some of those jazzy words are, like: cuttin' the rug, jazzy jingle, juba and jive and ...

Death Mounatin
One of the most importants things about Death Mounatin was my connection to the main character, Erin. From the first paragraph I was engaged with her. I liked her seriousness and spunk. By the end of the first page Erin was stranded with only her grandmother's words of wisdom playing in her head. Great start! But soon I learned Erin had an even bigger problem. Her mother had left the family and ...

Creative primary numbers
This is a very cool book for teaching numbers. Hey, why not call it "Cool Cats Counting!" This book is fresh and innovative and the kind that kids just love to giggle over the illustrations, not to mention the clever rhymes that accompany each number.

Not quite Eerie
Being a big fan of the Eerie Indiana TV show I naturally wanted to read the books, even though I'm an adult. This book was the second of the Eerie books I have read. The first one, Attack of the Two-Ton Tomatoes by Mike Ford, was really good. Although written simply (as you'd expect from a kids' book) it had lots of small details in it that made it feel exactly like an episode of the show, and ...

I have read this book and find the photographs to be fantast
The photographs are fantastic to show what all is being described in this book. I found the material to be factual and presented in an interesting manner for an elementary student who wishes to write a report on sled dogs or sledogging as a sport. It would also be a good book to learn about sled dogs and their sport. I live in Alaska and follow sled dog activity. I have also written a ...
