Big and Little 1 review Steve Jenkins
Houghton Mifflin, 1996

Bryanna and the Sand 2 reviews Jeffrey Yosick
Rain Publishing, 2008
On my K-garten Reading List
+ Great Father-Daughter story
I've added this to the list of books I recommend for teaching simple science lessons in Kindergarten. If you have the kids bring in shells it could be a great "Sharing Day" time.
Also can create a good discussion on how we show love to each other.
See my list of early education science ...

Prehistoric Actual Size 1 review Steve Jenkins
Houghton Mifflin, 2005
Size matters
In this crazed topsy-turvey world, it's always nice to have something to hold on to. Like the fact that small children are obsessed with dinosaurs, for example. Year after year, babies are born, mature, and grow into bright-eyed preschoolers who shriek continually for just one thing: DINOSAUR ...
