a good book
My next door neighbor, six years old, recently informed me, brightly, that she is in "the enrichment class." (Just imagine, I might have thought she was a late bloomer or, worse--gasp--average.) When did our children start being so aware of their giftedness, or non-giftedness? Nowadays, it does seem to start very early. This is a bright, cheerful book, beautifully illustrated, with a ...

The Story of Little Black Sambo

HarperCollins, 2003

Satisfaction
I had this book when I was a little girl and lost it. I loved it then, and learned that it had been "taken off the shelves." Hoping that Amazon had it available, I checked. Yippee! It was there. It came promptly and the condition was excellent. Thank you so much.

The Lion King (Little Golden Book)

Disney

Golden/Disney, 2003

Cute for the purpose of introducing Disney characters
This is a cute board book for the purpose of introducing Disney characters. It's a VERY condensed version of the Lion King story. My son is 2 & it's condensed to an age-appropriate level of words to listen to. However, the story is so condensed that it's really not that interesting as a story. My son does like it though... but you would only buy this book if you really want to introduce the ...

One bad decision, two lives lost!!!
My name is Jazmin and I am a freshman in high school. I had to pick a book for an English project. A friend of mine read Tears of a Tiger and said it had some good life lessons in it. Even though this book is fictional it is a very good book to read for kids my age because it shows how one bad decision can change lives. In this book the main setting is Hazelwood High School. The main character ...

The Tiger in the Well (Sally Lockhart Trilogy, Book 3)

Philip Pullman

Laurel Leaf, 1992

More than a simple who-dun-it mystery
"Tiger in the Well" has been perhaps my favorite book thus far of the Sally Lockhart series. One of the best aspects of this series is that Sally continues to grow and change. In fact, the majority of characters, even minor ones, get a chance to develop as the story progresses. An interesting aspect of this book is Sally's reaction to the spreading of socialist ideas in England. This is where ...

Friends can come in the most unusual ways
"Library Lion" is about, well, it is about many things. First, it is a good story, a rousing story with a happy ending. Second, it is about books, how we love books and want to have them around us. Third, it is about friendship, how we can find friends in the most unusual places. Fourth, it is about duty, how we can find a place in our world and do all the things we can to make our world run ...

Quality Literature
I started off by reading this little jewel to my second grade daughter. Before long, I found myself reading this by myself until the very end. I simply could not put it down! The next day I purchased book group copies for my eighth grade classroom. Di Camillo's writing is eloquent and engaging and her characters leap off the page as you find yourself pulled into their struggles. The Tiger ...

This chapter series is fantastic!
My four year old son is in love with this chapter series! A friend suggested it to us since he seemed ready for a more advanced reading material at bedtime. My husband reads him a chapter every night...sometimes more because they don't want to stop. It's become a great tradition for them, and something they both look forward to. We love that there are so many in the collection! Start with number ...

A beautiful book!
Our whole family loves this book. My son, now 3, learned to count to ten in English by reading this at bedtime almost every night. We are just now starting to read the Swahili words too. The information, spellings of the Swahili words and their pronounciations, even the names of the children are all accurate (I speak Swahili to moderate fluency). One note... Most Maasai do not even speak ...

Take a look
This is such a cute book. Bright and colorful pictures to look at, with a story that isn't too repetitive. Readers will not mind reading time and again to children

Golden Books are the Best!
I read this to our son, sadly, after he "out grew" these books, they were passed on. Happily, after searching all over I found these treasures on Amazon and now have a new collection for our beautiful grand daughter to enjoy.

The Story of Little Black Sambo (Wee Books for Wee Folk)

Black Sambo lives forever
This is the best book my parents have ever read to me. I lauged when asked if black peoples lips are really that big. They told me yes but that Maxine Waters has the biggest. Well i don't know who he is but i think the writer meant to say waffles instead of pancakes at the end. Oh and the father didn't drink malt liquer so that's why i think this isn't a true story.

WONDERFUL!
I read this book in less than a week, it's long enough for most readers, but I read fast. I love it because not only is it fun, it's funny, and if you pay attention you learn a few things, a little chinese, and kung fu moves. This has brought kung fu to my attention and now I'm taking classes. I suggest anybody who's reluctant about getting this book, just get it, it's got a lot of action, and ...

CLASSROOM-Specific TS Info for Teachers!!!
I love this book, which I have found invaluable in educating my son's teachers about the disorder. It is basically a compilation of information that any well read TS parent has probably found in 20 different locations, but for the novice looking for a thorough overview in one book, "Teaching The Tiger" goes a LONG way toward increasing their TS education. It gives practical advise re behavioral ...

A Story of a Truly Dedicated Teacher and Inspirational
This is the sequel to One Child so it's best to read that one first. This book is fantastic. I loved it. It continue's the story about Shelia as a teenager and how she had blocked a lot of her childhood out. Her memories came back the more she talked with Torey. Also worked with Torey with some disturbed kids which was good for awhile. This book tells how Shelia overcame her very abusive ...
