Anne Miranda

Turtle Books, 2001

One of the better bilingual books for preschoolers
This is a really cute book about animals (A-Y) being invited and preparing to go to Zelda the zebra's party. Even the Spanish translation is decent (unlike alot of bilingual books), although a couple of words are forced. It's great for building vocabulary.

The Russian Version of the Second World War: The History of the War As Taught to Soviet Schoolchildren

1 review

Facts on File, 1983

An eye-opener
This book is a middle school history book. As such, it's simplistic and abridged, just as our own middle school history books are. That said, I learned a great deal about World War II I never knew before, and even more about how the actions of the US played to non American people. I only read one thing in this book I considered and out and out lie (the Soviets were in fact "Liberating" those ...

Among Schoolchildren

Tracy Kidder

Harper Perennial, 1990

You Gotta Have Heart
Tracy Kidder captures the angst and the anger of the classroom in his book, "Among Schoolchildren," about the teaching-life of Mrs. Chris Zajac. Certainly those who criticize the public schools must read this book before they give up on schools and opt for vouchers for all. Mrs. Zajac has all the necessary qualities of a good teacher: 1. She's empathetic, almost to a fault. I know she gives ...

Marty Rhodes Figley

Carolrhoda Books, 2004

A fine book to read to your children
The language used evokes the time and place in which the story takes place. The characters are believable, and the story is inspiring because it is a retelling of an actual event. I have read all of this author's books, and my children and I are always delighted. I hope she keeps writing.

The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren (New York Review Books Classics)

2 reviews
Iona Opie, Peter Opie

NYRB Classics, 2001

Rhymes and reasons
Most of the material for this book was gathered fifty years ago in British schools, but I'm sure readers in all countries, for all time, will find it amusing and revealing. When I'd finished it, I felt I had a greater insight into children's minds and concerns, which they express, of course, in the games they play and the rhymes they say. I felt at the same time great respect for children. For ...

Yoon Pak

RoutledgeFalmer, 2001

Great Book!
Yoon's words and pictures tell of a time when people were interned for the way they looked and their ancenstry. She allows the reader to be drawn in by the helplessness that must have been felt by Japanese Americans during WWII. Her descriptions are haunting and will never let you forget the words of those that were interned. She has a way of writing that conveys her deep feelings for those ...
