It's nice!
I read a lot of books about Monica. I think this book is for all people who already know who Monica is. And if you are a big fan of WTA and of a perfect tennis player like Monica is you should buy this book.

A wonderful teaching tool!
As a high school health teacher, I am always looking for a quality text to utilize in my classroom. This book is just that. The pictures are clear and free from confusion. The text is concise and easily understood. I recommend this to parents and teachers alike. Even my brother in medical school uses a copy. It is useful for all ages.

If I were to buy just one book for preschoolers, this would be it! Both my children LOVE to read this book from even before they could walk. Even my kindergartener still likes it.

Deborah Hodge
Heinemann Library, 1998
Excellent elementary science experiments.
This book is the best I've seen for doing simple machine experiments at the elementary level. It is perfect for third and fourth grade science classrooms. The directions are simple to follow and the results of the experiments are easy to understand. The function of each simple machine was clear. Students are able to collect the materials from home and the experiments are designed for them to ...

Rocks and Minerals (Science Files)10 reviews
Steve Parker
Heinemann Library, 2001
Perfect for young children.
My son is six years old and this book captivated him for a good four nights, a few pages a night, for his bedtime story. It is very visually appealing with vividly colored pictures and thick glossy pages. It is written very well, easy for a young child to understand, yet filled with information about rocks and minerals. I have to read it to my child as he's not an independent reader yet, but an ...

The Bear Under the Stairs4 reviews

Heinemann Library, 1996
My 18, 4/5yr old pupils voted this story No.1. B. Lawless
Getting and keeping the attention of eighteen 4 and 5 year old children is no mean task, The Bear under the Stairs, had them riveted, All of them. And at the end of the story the best accolade ever, expressed in three wounderful words,
" Again teacher again."

The Absolute Best
I purchased this book for my 2 year old daughter to replace a paper back one I previously purchased that was destroyed by various infant beverages (hmmm...I wonder who did that).
Anyhoo...the book exceeded my expectations beyond my greatest imagination. My daughter and I already loved the book to pieces, but getting the hard covered one really has made it that much more of a favorite.

A Hidden Gem
I picked this audio cassette up at the library for a long car trip last summer. At some point on the journey home it was the only cassette we had not yet listened to, and we popped it in, never having heard of it or the author. It did not take long till the reverent silence in the car confirmed that this was a fabulous collection of stories. My husband and I kept glancing at each other...how ...

An intelligent introduction to art for young children
As the mother of a six year-old, I'm grateful for the appearance of this series, The Life and Work of... There aren't many art books for children this age; most are simply too long and involved for young children. This profile of Remington is filled with large type text and a colorful narrative that is sure to appeal to children 4-8. Not only the beauty, but the variety and choice of ...

Olivia Esh
Heinemann Library (P), 1995
Fabulous children's book from the view-point of a child.
This book, which was written by a child, has amazing insight into how a child perceives the unknown. In simple verse the author deals with issues such as how one's imagination can play tricks with the unknown on the other side of the fence; as well as the dilemma of being too small to see the other side. The book teaches the reader that sometimes these problems are solved on their own, just by ...

Wow!
I am thirteen years old. I am not a reader, but I found this book in a library and it looked interesting. I opened the book the next day and started to read it. Well, I couldn't stop until I found out what happened, so a day later, I was finished. I don't know why this book isn't being published still. It is so good, and now I want to find more books by the author. Thank you Mr. Roger Schachtel( ...
