The Eentsy, Weentsy Spider: Fingerplays and Action Rhymes 4 reviews
Joanna Cole, Stephanie Calmenson
HarperTrophy, 1991
Joanna Cole succeeds again
As someone with training in folklore, I always trust a book with Joanna Cole's name on it. This book does a very good job of showing (rather than desscribing) the actions and provides the words and music. As it is folklore, you will find some of the fingerplays or action rhymes from your childhood as well as new additions to your repetoire. As I have come to expect, I believe that the ...

HarperTrophy, 1994
A one-stop repository for favorite children's card games!
We discovered this book just after a week's vacation. We had been playing cards with children's card packs - old maid, rummy and go fish. I was anxious to find a book on all of the old children's games that I remember playing, Crazy Eights being a favorite. Not only does this book have lots of games, including many I had never heard of, but the illustrations and rules for playing are ...

It Rocks!
I am Daisy, a third grade student in California, and I am posting this under my teacher's account and supervision.
This book is very funny and it rocks. They wear fancy clothes and they make fancy clothes. The kids were taking out their extra clothes and giving it to the principal. It was so funny.

Stephanie Calmenson
Western Pub. Co, 1982
Great Learning Book
In this colorful book, children are introduced to seasons in a fun way. As each season is discussed the author tells activities or foods that associate with that season. For example, in the summer feeling the sun warm on your skin; or in autumn, smelling the pumpkin pie cooking. This is a great way to help little ones understand the switching of seasons.
Nice illustrations as well.

May I Pet Your Dog?: The How-to Guide for Kids Meeting Dogs (and Dogs Meeting Kids)5 reviews
Stephanie Calmenson
Clarion Books, 2007
This book should be read to every preschooler & by everyone!
The number of children being bit by dogs is astronomical. This could be drastically reduced, by showing children (& adults) the right way to approach a dog. A child's only experience may be with a friendly dog, or her own dog. Many dogs see an unknown child running up & reaching out at them as a threat and become fearful &/or aggressive. Both responses can cause a dog to bite. Dog bites and ...

Perfect Puppy Gets First Prize
My son and I love this one. As a family without a dog this book well describes a sweet story about the unconditioned friendship a young girl and her puppy come to discover. I would highly recommend it for children ages 3-7. My four year old asks that I read this to him everyday since we got it. He walks around with it, turns the pages and has memorized much of the story. Having other books by ...

It has a lot of activities, from nursery rhymes and songs to longer stories, and activities like finding objects in pictures and creating stories. I think this may be my daughter's favorite. We take it on all vacations because it has everything. We love it and I've given it as a gift many times.

The book contains a review of the alphabet, pictures with labels (such as parts of the body), rebus stories, and stories made of only one, two, three, or four words. There is a lot of rhyme and playfulness ...
