Wonderful, even for the little ones!
I read this book to my son as part of our homeschool curriculum for Kindergarten. Every night he has begged me to read one more chapter! He enjoyed listening to this book so much that he would rather pick up his toys than risk missing a night of The Boxcar Children! It was a huge motivator! I highly recommend it. My son has also informed me that when we finish (we read the final chapter ...

The Red Thread: An Adoption Fairy Tale7 reviews

Red Thread
I'm a children's therapist and bought a number of books on foster care and adoption - this one was the biggest hit. I find that kids relate more to metaphorical stories rather than the didactic ones.

Peaceful Piggy Meditation (Albert Whitman Prairie Paperback)10 reviews
Albert Whitman & Company, 2006
Good Introduction!
While the story is not actually a meditation it is a great introduction for children to understand why....they should meditate. Simple text and adorable illustrations explain and show that "When you're peaceful, you can be truly fearless!" This book can definitely motivate young children to want to try and meditate. I also recommend the "Indigo Dreams Series" to move your children into meditation ...

Your Body Belongs to You19 reviews

Protect your small children with this book
I bought two of these little books so my children could read them to their preschool kids. It gives even preliterate children the ability to talk about things that might happen to them, despite our best efforts to protect them. If they know how to talk about improper touching, we can intervene much quicker. Besides, kids like it when we read to them.

Who Is a Stranger and What Should I Do? (An Albert Whitman Prairie Book)5 reviews
Linda Walvoord Girard
Albert Whitman & Company, 1993
Recommended for family, school, and community libraries.
Most children art taught at home and at school not to talk to strangers. In Who Is A Stranger And What Should I Do?, Linda Girard takes the idea further by explaining about "kind" strangers, the stranger who is not a child's friend, strangers in public places, "doorbell" strangers, and others. Girard's practical, well presented text is illustrated with the artwork of Helen Cogancherry to ...

When I Feel Angry (Way I Feel)10 reviews
Cornelia Maude Spelman
Albert Whitman & Company, 2000
A simple yet powerful book
I purchased this book for my 4 year old son. I found it to be very well written and illustrated. As a School Psychologist myself, it's not always so easy to come up with the words when it involves your own child. However, I've seen a lot of books and this one just seems to work and the phrases and remarks seem to "stick" with my little guy. It's well priced through Amazon too because I first ...

The Boxcar Children Books 1-475 reviews
Gertrude Chandler Warner
Albert Whitman & Company, 1990
Earliest books are best
The earlier books in the series, written by Gertrude Chandler Warner before her death, are clearly better than the later ones written by others. Our kids, who loved the language in the early books (whether they were reading them themselves or were being read to my their mother), loved all the books, but even they noticed the difference in the later books (though one daughter read every single ...

My Body Is Private (Albert Whitman Prairie Books)15 reviews
Linda Walvoord Girard
Albert Whitman & Company, 1992
A Truly Stellar Work!
This is a book I wish I had when I was a child. The mother and child featured in this story are beautifully illustrated and I like the intelligent conversations they have about improper touching, whether or not it is sexual.
The book respects readers' intelligence by using the proper terminology for genitalia and the generic term "bottom" to mean the buttocks. I like that. Too many works ...

Breakthrough Moment
I have a son 9 years old diagnosed with OCD 6 months ago. We have had a terrible time to get him to even go to therapy much less open up and participate. He has had much embarrassment and shame. I got him this book and at first he would not let me read it to him. Finally after much thought he decided to go for it. After reading this book he totally opened up to me and we talked for over a hour ...

Adoption Is for Always (An Albert Whitman Prairie Book)9 reviews
Linda Walvoord Girard
Albert Whitman & Company, 1991
My kid likes it
Our daughter came to us at age seven after a long time in fostercare. It is hard to find a book that describes this type of adoption to children and although this book is also about a child adopted as a baby, our little girl loves it. She brings it out and asks us to read it to her often and it usually gets her talking about her birth parents, which is a good thing. It is important for children ...

It's hard to believe, but....
I find myself amazed that I, childhood (and lifelong) fan of the Bobbsey Twins, Encyclopedia Brown, Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, the Hardy Boys and others... I somehow missed the Boxcar Children until now. Don't let this happen to you!
In Schoolhouse Mystery, Benny is challenged by his friend Max to visit a dull, boring fishing town and find something, anything, in the way of adventure there. ...

Very Funny, Very Good, Your Child will Love this Book
How could your child not love a book with characters such as Zachary Zebra, Orfo the Orangutan, Bismark the Buffalo, Igor the Egret and lots of funny underwear. Poor Bismark, he doesn't get to wear any underwear. Or doe he? Lots of alliteration in this very funny little book that your pre-reader will just love for you to read to him. Then later, when he becomes a reader, it'll turn into one of ...

Becky Ray McCain
Albert Whitman & Company, 2001
For All Ages -
This book is rated among the timeless and yet it is VERY TIMELY for this period of our lives. It is not only interesting, but it guides 'anyone' to understanding the difference in "telling" and in "reporting something to prevent harm". The author is at the top of the list for the very best of authors in Childrens' Books!

Three Names of Me6 reviews
Mary Cummings
Albert Whitman & Company, 2006
Great Book for Appropriate Time
This book was very appropriate for our family. My daughter is 7 years old, and I adopted her from China when she was 10 months. She is very curious about her origins, including her birth mom. This book directly addresses the fact that in addition to a Chinese name and, in many cases, a newly given name when adopted, you also have a third name which was "whispered" by your birth mom. So my ...
