50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet 23 reviews

50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet
Bravo! This book should be in every teacher's professional library! The world we live in today exposes children to the many ugly sides of humanity. Too often the people they look up to and aspire to become are not worthy of their devotion. Dennis Deneberg and Lorraine Roscoe have presented kids with an opportunity to meet real heroes. I use this book each year to define what it means to be a hero ...

The Kids' Invention Book (Kids' Ventures)1 review
Arlene Erlbach
Lerner Publications, 1999
Amazing!
How can kids invent all these things any way? Oh my Gosh. One kid (Reeba) invented the all-in-one washer-dryer. How come they don't sell this? My mom wants to buy one. Another kid (Eric) invented what he called Dial-A-Fish. You call your phone number and enter a secret code and when you do that, the fish bowl will shake food into the bowl so the fish can eat. Angel and Kathryn invented a ...

My son's favorite book....
My son is 3 1/2 and loves Helicopters, he got this book for Christmas. He loves it (he even takes it to bed to read to his stuffed animals). It's a small (in size) paperback book with realistic images of parts of the helicopter and different types of helicopters, including thier "duties." The book explains everything in general terms that any child can understand. I love it because it's very ...

High Interest For Beginner Readers
As a teacher and a mother of a son with a reading learning disability, I highly reccomend this book. The photographs engage my son, and encourage him to read the text. He has read the book everyday since he received it.

Grandma's encouragement
This book can help a youngster understand the purpose of learning a sport and pushing a little harder than usual. My grandson finally realized why he was swimming laps and has helped him be a better swimmer. He's to young to read "Under the Surface" by himself, but he will grow into that book also.

Sylvia Munsen
Lerner Publications, 2002
Uff Da!
I saw this book randomly in the children's book section of my local bookstore and it caught my eye. Being Norwegian, pretty much everything with "Norway!" or the like catches my eye.
I started browsing through the book, and it's beautifully designed! There are a few different sections on traditional Norwegian families and how they do their cooking, some utensils you may want to invest in ...

Get Bats
The 1986 New York Mets were the World Series Champions led by one of the greatest managers in franchise history, Davey Johnson. But this book, Bats, is about the 1985 Mets, a second place finishing, good team.
They say that no one remembers who finishes second. I would like to change that and say we should remember who comes in second if they should come in first the following year. Which is ...

Wolf Pack
This was a very good book. I liked it because it wasnt boring. It also was a very interesting topic. It also wasnt dragged out like alot of books.
It was put together in a kid friendly format which made it much easyer to read. I realy liked the fact that there were picture refernces.

Photographer and writer, Monty Roessel, took a personal approach to creating this book when he chose his daughter and his mother as subjects. He documented his ten year old daughter, Jaclyn, as her grandmother taught her to weave. The fifth grader learned about the ...

Great Resource for Teaching and Learning about the Hmong
A substantial number of my students are Hmong, and I've struggled for a few years to find accessible informational books about Hmong culture. This book get snapped up during reading time by the students, and I frequently use it to give Hmong students English vocabulary about their culture and heritage.
