Game Time! (MathStart 3) 2 reviews Stuart J. Murphy
HarperTrophy, 2000
girls playing soccer and learning math
+ Kept the kids focused
I'm always looking for books to read to my 3 year old daughter showing girls playing sports, being strong, competitive, etc, so I picked this one up and it did not disappoint, althought it's a bit too long and wordy for a 3 -year- old, probably better for a 4+. Two girls' soccer teams test their ...

Anna Banana and Me 5 reviews Lenore Blegvad
Aladdin, 1987
my favorite children's book
+ Nice children's book + The Perfect Book for Your Shy Guy...or Girl
I adore this book. With wonderfully subtle grace, the author teaches about friendship and, more importantly, the personality differences of friends -without judgement. The free spirited child is admired but the shy, timid child also prevails. An exceptional choice for a "second child" who may ...

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2006
Have read this book a million times!
+ Book Review + She's done it again, another great kids book!
This is my 3 year-old's current favorite - it's got it all: Bike riding action, singing (we made up tunes to the rhymes), construction, drama...sharing. Lots of fun; it's the most requested bedtime reading, by far. We originally got it from the library, but have decided to invest in a copy of ...

This is my all time favorite childrens book! It is so much fun with a twist at the end that the kids (and adults) just love. It is also a good read aloud for a class or group since it's not too long. Fun pics, too!

Fantastic! A stereotype-smashing book! King does knitting, cooking, queen fixes the roof, princess thinks for herself. I laughed aloud about the King's plan to "annoy a bad fairy" so the fairy would cast an evil spell.. Fun pictures! Minimal text, not too long. Fairy #3 is pretty scary-looking ...

Silly Fun - a review of "Sleeping Bobby"
My daughter (almost 6) is in 'princess mode'. She loves everything regal, from the Barbie princesses to your classic fairytales of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. [She wears high heels and dresses up more than I do-lol]
AND... she has enjoyed this book. In fact, I think she's a ...

great children's book
+ great book for girls or boys + Totally Awesome!!!!
I love reading this book to my little girl. It is one of the few books in which the characters neither act good or bad because of thier appearance. Usually the beautiful princess is either good or bad because she is beautiful rather than morality coming out of choices that human's make. This ...
