Back to School, Mallory 3 reviews
Laurie B. Friedman
Carolrhoda Books, 2005
This book was very funny
This book was funnier than funny. It has very likable characters. Her parents were funny and I liked her friend Marianne. My favorite part was when Mallory had to be an eggplant in the school play. This was the best book I ever read.

Learning to Love Africa : My Journey from Africa to Harvard Business School and Back21 reviews
Monique Maddy, 2004
Inspiring and insightful
As someone who grew up overseas much like Monique, i deeply admire how she chose to use her acquired skills and network to give back to a continent in dire need of what rare individuals like her have to offer.
The book is enjoyable to read and deeply inspiring to anyone interested in contributing to third world development.

Motivated Minds: Raising Children to Love Learning5 reviews
Deborah Stipek Ph.D., Kathy Seal
Holt Paperbacks, 2001
SUPER REFERENCE FOR PARENTS
This book answers a lot of questions I've had about parenting. It has good sections on how and when to use rewards, when and how to praise your kids, when you should tell them "Do this now!" and when you should let go. I especially liked a chapter on intelligence where they explain why it's better to emphasize that intelligence isn't a fixed quality. I had never thought about this before but ...

Back to the Drawing Board: Designing Corporate Boards for a Complex World5 reviews
Colin B. Carter, Jay William Lorsch
Harvard Business School Press, 2003
A sane approach to Shaping the Corporate Culture
Carter and Lorsch have noted that "around the world, scandals and company failures have provoked a storm of criticism and well-meaning reforms. In response, a variety of 'best practices' have emerged, but can such ad hoc adjustments fundamentally change the capacity of boards to provide good governance?"
I attended a Forum for Corporate Director's meeting featuring Professor Lorsch from ...

A Gem!
My daughter and I love the Rachel Yoder series! These books are so great. My daughter loves learning about the Amish, but they also teach important lessons about faith that are relatable even to us Englishers.

You Can't Go To School Naked!5 reviews
Diane Billstrom
Putnam Juvenile, 2008
4 and 5-year olds everywhere will love it.
I don't remember much about being 4 or 5, but from what I've observed of the reflective 4-year old living in my house one simple answer isn't usually good enough. With the fun and imaginative illustrations along with the accompanying reasoning, I am hoping this book provides enough explanation on the topic to quell any future need to revisit. I liked this book, but more importantly, my 4 year ...

To Space and Back4 reviews
Sally Ride, Susan Okie
Topeka Bindery, 1999
To Space And Back, You Really Do Go To Space With This Book.
If you, like me, dream of exploring space, then this is the book for you to read. This book litteraly puts you in the shuttle during one of the flights. From countdown to landing, this book takes you through it all. Out of all the astronaut books that I have read, this one is the best.

Echo Booming Monologues: 100 Monologues for Teens3 reviews
Mary Depner
Jelliroll, Inc, 2007
Echo Booming is excellent!
After only a few of these one hundred monologues for teens,
it is very obvious this former drama teacher is in touch
with her audience. And it seems to me adolescents need to
start by expressing their real feelings (in and out of
plays) instead of grasping for the larger issues of Love,
Death and God they seem to think gain them more attention (I
only found one of these here, a child ...

I Can Add Upside Down!: The Back to School Range (Learn with Dr. Seuss)2 reviews
Dr. Seuss, Linda Hayward, ...
HarperCollinsChildren'sBooks, 2004
A Terrific Math Start
Just bought this fun workbook for my five year old. It is funny, has great artwork and really got her interested in addition. She has a knowledge of simple addition, but this book explains in easy terms that 3 + 1 = 4, is sometimes 1 + 3 = 4. Also helped to explain the concept of zero. The book has places for the children to write in the answers, therefore getting used to writing out numbers. ...

Ellen Booth Church
Teaching Resources, 2003
GREAT NEW IDEAS FOR AN EXPERIENCED TEACHER or A NEW ONE TOO!
Sometimes you just need something different to start the year. I was thrilled to find this book. It has very creative new activities and fun new SONGS to freshen up the start of the year in my Kindergarten. I particularly liked the chapter on the THREE R's of CIRCLE TIME: Ritual, Routines and Rules. This is very helpful for getting circle time meetings going in an organized and postive way. Now I ...

SECRETS of the EARLY CHURCH... What will it take to get back to the Book of Acts?2 reviews
Andrew Strom
Revival School, 2008
Do You Ever Wonder....
In Matthew 15:8, 9 Jesus reiterated what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, "These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."
Do you ever wonder WHY ON EARTH we do what we do when we practice this thing we've called "church"? Just think of it... Do you ...

My Kids Really Enjoyed...
(Since there is no book description this is from the back of book)
Fitzgerald Traflon III hates the food at Maple Grove Middle School-it's totally gross. The pizza tastes like cardboard, the spaghetti like glue, and the hot dogs like rubber. Fitz has even heard the hamburgers are make from horse meat!
Then Miss Buggy takes over the cafeteria, and things start to change. Fitz's friends ...

The Abbey Girls Go Back To School (Abbey)1 review
Elsie J. Oxenham
Girls Gone By, 2005
The Abbey Girls are off to folk- dancing camp!
This is the eleventh book in the Abbey series, and while the events and characters are introduced and explained, I wouldn't recommend this as a stand-alone title or as your first Abbey Girls book.
Cecily, the president of the Hamlet Club, arranges for Joan, Jen, Joy, and Jack to accompany her to an intensive folk-dancing school for a month. There they meet characters who you may remember from ...

Camilla Wilson
Rebound by Sagebrush, 2001
Rosa Parks: Civil Rights Pioneer
From the Back of the Bus to the Front of a Movement explains why Rosa Parks is considered the mother of the civil rights movement. The book gives an excellent review for a young audience of the history of race relations in the South. It details the events of the day Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus to a white man and the cascade of changes that resulted. Parks's ...

I Don't Want to Go Back to School2 reviews
Marisabina Russo, 1994
I don't want to go back to school
My son and I discovered M. Russo's books in the library. He has fallen in love with her stories and keeps asking for more. "I don't want to go back to school" is based on a little boy's fear and insecurity about the first day of school. The topic is simply and clearly managed. Russo's writing style is remarkable because it stimulates conversation about the story and provides me the ...

Anderson Analytics, LLC, 2007
Good US College Trends Report
Good for those wishing to see what brands and websites are top of mind among college students currently and how these have changed over the past three years. I believe you will find this report useful in getting a pulse of the US College market. The sample is an excellent representation of the entire market as all 1000 respondents were pre-recruited and had to have a current .edu email address, ...
