Marching to Freedom (Dell Yearling Biography)

Yearling, 1987

A Black Star
This book was absolutely fabulous. It tells you many troubles black people went through in the 1960's. I learned so much about how hard Martin's life was and all the ups and downs he went through just for what he believed in. I thought he was the best leader ever. I don't want to tell you too much because you should read it for yourself.

I Feel Sorry for the So-Called "Kids" and Teens of the 1 Star
I originally wasn't planning to write another review for amazon.com, but the movie of "The Yearling" was on TV last night. Remembering how it touched me, especially the sorrowful end, I decided to take a look at the reviews posted here. Most were brilliant, right to the point, and then I saw "kid's review" and a few others that found the book boring. Sorry, children, that in an age of Paris ...

First Classics, 1989

The real Turtles
I grew up loving the old cartoon, but as I grew, I found myself not liking it anymore. Then someone told me to get my hands on the original books. I am so thankful to him that I did. This was a great read. Adult, with a little humor thrown in. A must for any turtle fan. And here's hoping the new movie reflects these stories.

Williwaw! Book Report was a Success!
Hello Parents, I was recently having a brief conversation with a friend, and I realized that many of us as parents are probably experiencing, and in some cases struggling with, the same issues related to assigned book reports for school. Issues like children procastinating to read the selected book, complete a written report, or prepare for oral report, etc. Last year, a serious reading ...

Florence White

Yearling, 1987

Not just Missionary:Visionary
I think this book does an excellent job for students and parents/adults alike, to see just how influential and positive Father Junipero Serra really was. He was a man who had extraordinary vision for the lives of the people he touched. He was committed in his faith, and this biography depicts this strongly. Also, students will learn of his fortitude in tough times, as well as his ability to find ...

A New "Pirate Yarn"
As a vivid reader who takes whatever she can get, ,pirate stories have long been a point of interest. But it gets a little old to hear about the daring exploits of the brave and dashing swashbucklers of the high seas. That is why I like this book more than most of the other pirate stories I've read. "Voyage of Plunder" is about Daniel and how his adventures on the pirate ship. The character ...

Katherine Ayres

Yearling, 1997

Real genealogy buff loves the history and family angle.
I am a teacher, and I research my own family history. I loved this book. Children who feel cut off from their past will relate to Tyler's uncovering of her own past, and any child (or adult!) will love the well-woven story of Tyler's determination, courage, and eventual compassion.
