Doe Boyle
Soundprints, 1995
A Fun But Also Scientific Book
This book is a story about two Clown Anemonefish and their lives. It takes place near Papua New Guinea in the great barrier reef. They live in sea anemone tentacles for safety. It tells about life under the sea with the animals and the plants. And at the end the two fish lay eggs. It has big, colorful illustrations and is fun and interesting to read.

Alphabet of Ocean Animals (Alphabet Books) (Alphabet Books) (Alphabet Books)1 review
Laura Gates Galvin
Soundprints Corp Audio, 2007
Alphabet of Ocean Animals is more than just an ABC book
Alphabet of Ocean Animals is more than just an ABC book; it also features a delightful read-aloud rhyme and amazing facts about sea creatures, such as how dolphins breathe and the true nature of coral reefs. An accompanying audio CD enhances this excellent and educational book ideal for young people ages 4 to 8. Highly recommended, especially for budding marine lovers!

Big Apple Circus Coloring Book1 review
Steven James Petruccio
Dover Publications, 1997
Great for adults who like art but are not artistic
The paper stock used in this coloring book is thick enough to sustain different types of mediums such as felt tip pens and watercolors in addition to crayons and colored pencils. There is a good combination of "establishment shots" with a lot of background detail that requires fine line coloring and "close ups" that require a lot of bold color and broad strokes. Very well drawn, not ...

My son LOVED it
My two year old son keeps asking us to read this book. He's fascinated with trucks and never gets tired of hearing this story. The whole series is excellent--if your child is into construction or trucks buy this. When they won't sit still for anything else -they will when you read this one.

Emergency Vehicles Stickers (Dover Little Activity Books)1 review
Steven James Petruccio
Dover Publications, 2003
Tool for a tabletop.
We are doing a wildland fire tabletop. The stickers from the book can be easy put on a business card magnet and then using a white board with a metal back, apparatus can be tracked during the exercise. The stickers provide the full range of response vehicles and a uniform size. It may not be the first intent for the book and stickers, but they will work great for our purpose.

Hercules Stickers (Dover Little Activity Books)2 reviews
Steven James Petruccio
Dover Publications, 1997
Hercules stickers are worth the money
This set of stickers is great if you are looking for a product that actually depicts Hercules doing his twelve labors and not some silly Disney stuff that never happened. The stickers are well illustrated and are an excellent visual accompaniment to a mythology lesson on Hercules. I also use them to decorate A+ quizzes over the subject of Hercules in my high school mythology class. For just a ...

Sharks (All Aboard Reading)1 review
Ginjer L. Clarke
Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2002
Good intro for young child
My four year old is really interested in sharks and this little book turned out to be a good intro. It's short and there are 1-2 sentences per page with fairly easy words so it was easy for him to memorize and now "read" i.e., recite to me. Highly recommended for a young pre-reader.

Tonka: Working Hard with the Busy Fire Truck1 review
Jordan Horowitz
Cartwheel, 1993
Devon Really Loves the Fire Trucks
My son Devon has all his books in his own bookcase, and he's got a lot of them. Many he's only read once and then there are those he pages through everyday. He may be a bit shy of three, but he knows what he likes. He has his favorites. "Fire, fire!" he squeals as he points to the three busy fire fighters on the cover of this book, "Read about fire!" Yes, this is a book he likes. He likes to read ...

Toby Tyler: Or Ten Weeks with a Circus 3 reviews
James Otis
Topeka Bindery, 1997
Great kids book!!!
My main disagreement with the above review is that it is obviously written by an adult for adults. I do not believe most young children read a book for the reasons he complains about. I have not read this book in over 50 years but I still remember it well. I can remember lying in bed at night reading this book and dreaming that I was right there along side Toby and sharing his adventure. I will ...

Tropical Fish Stickers (Dover Little Activity Books)1 review
Steven James Petruccio
Dover Publications, 1994
Fun, and costs less than shipping!
Who doesn't love stickers? And these ones are particularly colorful and don't tear as you're trying to remove them from the backing like some *really* cheap ones do.
For kids, fun stickers. For adults, fun stickers!
...and useful for getting free shipping on that $24 order.

Beautiful ocean nature book
I love this book - large paperback, beautiful pictures, loads of different ocean life to see and discuss. Interesting facts. Both of my children (now 6 - 9) have loved this book, reading it over and over together with us. We bought this at the beach, and it helps us remember what is special about the oceans when we are inland. We have since ordered many other books in this same series ...

My two year old and my four year old absolutely love this book. I read this every day to them. They have learned so much from this book about construction equipment. It is an absolute must for every "future dump truck operator"!
