I'm a Big Sister 95 reviews
Joanna Cole
HarperFestival, 2010
Directed towards children ages 2-5
"I'm A Big Sister" is the perfect book for a child who has welcomed a new baby brother or sister recently. Cheerful text and illustrations explain how babies come, and what to expect when you are the older sister. Most important, "I'm A Big Sister" reinforces the positive self image of the older sibling who may feel occasionally eclipsed by the newcomer who needs so much care and attention. Also ...

Where's the Poop? 45 reviews

Just what I was looking for
A friend recommended this and I have to say, I want to tell everyone about it. My son had that Poop-fear and we weren't sure how to get over it. He actually did... 1 day before the book arrived. But he loves this book and it really supports what we're teaching, and helps calm his fears. I love it! Highly recommended.

Ooh Lala, Fancy Nancy has an Easter Gala
Fancy Nancy plans an Easter Gala in this 16 page lift-the-flap book! Nancy is all dressed up in her fancy finery as she plans her gala for family and friends. The lift-flaps are cleverly integrated into the story and young readers will enjoy finding out what is under them. Another hit for Fancy Nancy fans!

I'm a Big Brother100 reviews

Good - just note bottle-feeding emphasis
This book gets a lot right. It smartly fosters a sense of pride in becoming an older sibling. It stresses that newborns aren't capable of walking, talking, or playing. It emphasizes they mostly sleep, feed, and cry. I like that it suggests older siblings ask a parent before handling a baby. Just be aware that it doesn't show breastfeeding - only bottle-feeding. Not a problem if you don't ...

Big Red Barn Big Book85 reviews

Excellent choice for Pre-Kindergarten classes
This book is wonderful. I taught a thematic unit on The Farm and used this as my Big Book for teaching reading stratigies and introducing my unit. The book starts out with an empty field and continues to add farm animals a few at a time into the farm yard. The attention to detail is great and give opportunity to predict and develop the child's attention to detail by including hints to small ...

Perfect book for an autistic child!
My child is high functioning autistic and is in kindergarten. I went to one of his classes one day and his teacher was reading this book to the class. I found out how much he enjoyed her reading it and he was very involved in it. She took the freedom to be very expressive with the book and he loved it. He would imitate and say "...caps for sale!" and what the monkeys did and new what was ...

James Cameron's Avatar: The Movie Scrapbook6 reviews
Maria Wilhelm, Dirk Mathison
HarperFestival, 2009
Good basic primer for younger fans
So far there are two books out there for Avatar that give details on the world of Pandora. The Activist Survival Guide and this one. The first is loaded with scientific theory and jargon, and while that's great for the people who are interested in knowing the super technical stuff Avatar: The Movie Scrapbook is also a great resource for those who want to know more yet not enough to write a ...

Favorite for 2 years going...
My 4 year-old and my 16 month-old LOVE this book. I have had it since my firstborn was 20 months and it is still going strong. My daughter, the youngest, has loved this book for 3 months now, requesting it every night with her customary grunts. She is not verbal but is VERY active--a plus when reading this book as she tends to rush through all the other books we read or snatch them away to turn ...

Truly classic children's stories
Stan & Jan Berenstain's classic Berenstain Bears stories were personal favorites throughout my childhood, and now I use them often, whether for reading to young children or for teaching English to older children and adults. Not only are they beautifully illustrated, consistently humorous, and full of educational content. They also teach morals and provide guidelines for social interaction in a ...
