A Circle of Friends 1 review
Giora Carmi
Star Bright Books, 2006
A truly rapturous and inspiring picture book
A Circle Of Friends is a warm and caring wordless story which is "written" and illustrated by Giora Carmi. When a young boy anonymously donates his snack to a homeless man, he begins a cycle of goodwill that reverberates and expands in a great circle of kindness. A Circle Of Friends is distinctive in that it is told entirely through illustrations - which have the powerful characteristic of being ...

Not as good as the number one
I bought his other book Quantos Animais Sao? and the illustrations are beautiful! This one has much more ordinary drawings. Brian Wildsmith's Quantos Animais Sao? (Portuguese edition)

We Can Do It! 4 reviews
Laura Dwight
Star Bright Books, 2005
A lively book of photographs of special children as children
We Can Do It has photographs of 5 children with Down Syndrome, spina bifida, blindness and cerebral palsy having fun and enjoying ordinary activities at home and at school. The unposed (I think!) photographs are refreshing and inspiring to anyone who has an interest in special needs children, focusing on their abilities. I think it will become a classic.

Where's the Baby?/¿Dónde está el bebé? (English/Spanish bilingual edition) 11 reviews

Star Bright Books, 2004
Very Pleased
I gave this book to my grandson for his first birthday. He likes to carry it around the house. Having been written in both English and Spanish is a great idea. My grandson will need to know Spanish since his family may become missionaries in a Spanish speaking country.

Hidden Letters3 reviews
Star Bright Books, 2008
The Voice Of Lost Innocence
When you read HIDDEN LETTERS, the book is going to leave a mark. It's going to hurt down deep and leave you thinking about things long after you've finished the book. After receiving the book, I admit to approaching the book warily. The subject matter is brutal, and it's devastating to anyone who's a parent.
First, a little history on the book. The letters that comprise the human narrative ...

Baby, Come Out!8 reviews

Star Bright Books, 2001
FINALLY IN PRINT AGAIN! THE BEST BOOK EVER!
I am so thrilled to see that this fantastic book is back in print. It is the ideal book to read to a child when a little sibling is on the way. Not only is the book delightful, charming, and sweet, but it perfectly captures the essence of family love, and delves beautifully into the psyche of the pregnant woman. It is a favorite among children in my son's day care center, and as a child ...

First Grade Takes a Test 9 reviews
Miriam Cohen
Star Bright Books, 2006
Totally relevant for ANY standardized test taking grade
I have to disagree with some of the comments made by other reviewers. This is a fabulous read aloud for intermediate and upper elementary students, as well as for their parents during Meet the Teacher night. With so much more pressure placed on students (and teachers!) as a result of NCLB, this book has a fabulous underlying message that goes beyond the unkindness of name calling - that kids ...

Will I Have a Friend?3 reviews
Miriam Cohen
Star Bright Books, 2008
A classic that's still true today
For over thirty years, this book has answered one of a young child's most important questions about starting school: will I have any friends? Walking to school on the first day with his father, that's the question Jim asks. His father smiles down at him and says, "I think you will." Jim's a little intimidated at first. "All the boys were making noise. All the girls were laughing. ...

What Happens Next? (English/Haitian Creole bilingual edition)4 reviews
Cheryl Christian
Star Bright Books, 2005
An adorable board book for toddlers
This very cute board book has flaps which reveal, for example, a baby in the previously empty bathtub. It is all about an ordinary day, which my kids love: bath, bed, sandbox. One child has Down syndrome. Plus an adorable boy on the cover.

Brian Wildsmith's Animal Colors (Arabic edition)1 review
Brian Wildsmith
Star Bright Books, 2004
This is such a nice book!
It is simple, it is to the point, it is tiny, and both me and my daughter love it. Perfect for her age (2 years). It is simple sentences describing the color of the animal on the picture next to the writing.
Good book.

Where's the Baby? (Korean edition)2 reviews

Star Bright Books, 2004
Pleasant surprise
Honestly I ordered this book not knowing anything about it other than it was a board book and it was written in Vietnamese. With that said, I was happy to find that though it doesn't have English translation on the pages, it is quite simple to interpret. I also think that it gives young children a lesson on pairing things up. For instance, there is one page that shows an apple, the next an empty ...

Wonderful pictures
I purchased this book for my husband, who is from France, to read to our daughter. She loves the pictures in the book. A word of warning, the French in the book is quebecios. My husband thought there were some mistakes in the book but realized it was just the French Canadian version of the word.

Timeless classic!
I'm nearly 40 years old and enjoyed this book when I was a little girl in the early seventies. Now that I have two little girls of my own, I love that this story is still around! Lorna Balian has managed to create a character that is sweet and mischievous and endearing and by the end of the story, you will find yourself with a huge smile on your face! I recall begging my mom to help me put ...
