Avery Hart, Paul Mantell
Williamson Publishing Company, 1997
wonderful creative ideas
This book is packed with many wonderful creative ideas to help children become very involved in learning about ancient Egypt. I was really impressed. We homeschool and found this to be one of the best purchases we've made while learning about this ancient civilization. I should note that online the recommended age is 9-12. However, on the back of the book it is clearly printed for kids ages ...

Rocks Rock!
This is a wonderful introduction to concepts for your young geologist as well as a great place to find ideas for activities and experiements to aid her in her exploration of the earth! I've seen some of the activities presented in this book before, but several were new to me. The text is written in a witty manner, yet still provides a wealth of information.

Cat Lovers.. of all ages!
My little one is a big cat lover. Although her allergies forbid her to own a cat, this book helps her to receive a better love for them. We have many of the chicken soup books and this one is her favorite. Also.... shop for the book "The Secret" it has some footnotes from this same author. The Secret is a must for children too. Of course, we all want our children to grow up with a world of ...

Marci Shimoff
Free Press, 2008
Happy for No Reason
Written by the author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul: 101 Stories to Open the Hearts and Rekindle the Spirits of Women (Chicken Soup for the Soul), this is one of the most popular happiness books around. While the author isn't a bona fide positive psychology researcher, that's not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to happiness books- although opinions vary.

Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach (Second Edition)21 reviews
Morris Kline
Dover Publications, 1998
Great teaching book
I started using this book as a review several weeks ago and so far am very happy with it. I am currently working through a book on tensor analysis and calculus, and found some of my old calculus and advanced calculus background not quite up to the task since it had been many years, so was looking for a painless way to review some of the concepts, and this book turned out to be a good choice.

Trauma Through a Child's Eyes: Awakening the Ordinary Miracle of Healing9 reviews
Peter Levine, Maggie Kline
North Atlantic Books, 2006
Thorough and Concise
As an educator this book was extremely valuable in many ways. One of these ways was that it gave me insight into a child's brain that has experienced trauma. This book also taught me how to recognize the signs of a child experiencing trauma and how to assist ALL my students to move past and become unstuck from everyday to severe traumas. This book should be a must for anyone teaching children. ...

Rex B. Kline
The Guilford Press, 2004
Learning SEM. This is the book that you need.
Well...This book is as understandable as statistics can be. You will learn about the advantages of using mathematical models and how they represent reality way better than doing group comparisons. Highly recommended.

Carol A. Johmann, Elizabeth Rieth
Williamson Publishing Company, 1999
Don't wait 'til it's too late!
Was THIS book a relief to parents when it came out! One of the few real "How to" learning books about bridges. It explains how & why different types of bridges don't fall down (which is why kids learn about em in the first place) & offers fun instructions on each major kind: arches, beams, trusses, cantilevers, and suspension bridges, you know the deal. Of course, "Bridges: Amazing ...

Horrible Harry and the Green Slime
This book has four chapters. In the first chapter the class picked secret pals. In the second chapter the principal found a cigarette under a cafeteria table. After that the class drew posters about the bad effects of smoking. In the third chapter they read Charlotte's Web. They put cobwebs all over the school. In the last chapter Harry taught the class how to spike their hair. My favorite ...

Horrible Harry and the Christmas Surprise2 reviews
Suzy Kline
Puffin, 1998
This is about Christmas at hospitals
This book is cool. Horrible Harry is horrible because he does horrible things like putting frogs in girls' hair. Horrible likes horrible creatures, too. He gives his teacher a rocking chair with spiders on it. You should buy this book because it is a very interesting book.

My Favorite Book
Horriable Harry in Room 2B is my favorite book. Not only is it a book that i have grown up with, it is also an interesting and enjoyable book to just sit down and read. From the funny stiches he gets himself involved into, and the "double revenge" that he puts upon Sidney, this book has always made me giggle. If you arn't sure if an older kid would like it, let me tell you this, im 16 and ...

The Genesis Debate : Three Views on the Days of Creation 6 reviews

Global Publishing Services, 2000
Reviewing "The Genesis Debate"
Critique: Each of the three pairs of authors have contributed something vital to the Genesis 1 discussion for which they should be commended and thanked for their time and effort. Duncan and Hall have rightly reminded the reader of the dangers that conformity to the present age presents to every generation. Their appeal to past interpreters further reminds us of the dangers of "novel" thinking ...

Gizmos & Gadgets: Creating Science Contraptions That Work (& Knowing Why) (Williamson Kids Can! Series)2 reviews
Jill Frankel Hauser
Williamson Publishing Company, 1999
Great Intro to Physics!
My nine year old son loves this book! It has some great projects to do (using easy-to-find materials) while also introducing famous scientists and scientific principles like the laws of motion. We were following the The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home, Revised and Updated Edition and found this book to be much better than the books it recommended for Physics.

Marty Becker, Carol Kline, ...
HCI, 1998
Warm and fuzzy
Most of the series of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' has the kind of warm and fuzzy story that many find endearing and sweet. They are not 'deep' most of the time, but do point to things beyond themselves; for my own use, I often find sermon illustrations and stories within the pages of volumes of Chicken Soup -- as chaplain at a retirement centre, many of the stories help people to recall happier ...

The Baltimore Plot: The First Conspiracy to Assassinate Abraham Lincoln3 reviews
Michael J. Kline
Westholme Publishing, 2008
A fascinating Civil War detective story . . .
The Baltimore Plot is a thorough, well-written treatment of one of those stories that you can't believe hasn't been written on before--or at least not in decades. The author does a great job presenting the story of the newly elected Abraham Lincoln's perilous trip from Springfield to D.C. in February of 1861 against a backdrop of secessionist intrigue and political uncertainty. Along the way, ...
