Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? (Henry Holt Big Books)

Bill Martin

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1992

Introducing animals and their sounds
I bought this book together with "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" a couple of days ago, and my 3y.o. kid loves them both. My son helps me read out loud and is learning complicated words like "boa constrictor". It's very simple and great for introducing new animals and new words (such as "roaring" or "hissing"), we have a lot of fun reading it together every day.

A must read - a heart-rending and gut-wrenching account
I have just completed Bill Murphy's moving book, "In a Time of War - The Proud and Perilous Journey of West Point's Class of 2002." The book is both gut-wrenching and heart-rending, yet it also leaves the reader inspired and proud of the young men and women who left West Point in the summer of 2002 to answer the call to fight the War on Terror in Afghanistan and Iraq. The title of the book is ...

The Scrambled States of America

Laurie Keller

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2002

A Show Worth Watching!
Okay, call me a sucker for any book that teaches while it entertains. This book excels at both. The premise is that, in the middle of the night, the state of New York woke up from a dream and shouted to all the other states, "HEY, EVERYONE--LET'S HAVE A TALENT SHOW!" And so they did. And what a rompus, good time was had by all. There's plenty of over-the-top humor, song ditties, and corny jokes ...

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2007

Excellent little set, especially for the price!
The 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See' book was recommended to me by both my 4 year old daughter's speech therapist and her teacher. In town just this book alone was priced at 7.95. I found the set here on Amazon.com and the price was just too good to pass up! All three of these books are great for helping teach proper sentence structure and pronoun usage with I and you. Brown Bear features ...

Jay Allison, Dan Gediman

Henry Holt and Co., 2008

Reaffirms the power of the story, the spoken word...what's not to love?
Once in a while an idea comes along that's so simple, so pure, as to demand: why hasn't anyone done this before? Accomplished freelance producer Jay Allison, of Falmouth, Massachusetts, struck upon reviving an mouldy-but-goldy: assemble articulate people to speak plainly, from the heart, about their deepest convictions. This is no mean feat speaking from an age of irony, where the best are ...
