Green Eggs and Ham (I Can Read It All by Myself Beginner Books)

Dr. Seuss

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960

The Greatest American Philosopher
As a mom of a 24 and an 8 year old (I know . . . big surprise) I am firmly of the opinion that Dr. Seuss is the greatest American philosopher! In this book he urges us to try things that we may be afraid of or even repelled by. Many folks think this book applies only ...

Unaccustomed Earth

Rich with detail and complexity, these short stories are novels that end too soon
As we've come to expect from Jhumpa Lahiri, this collection of eight short stories examines the immigrant experience in America, including the difficulties of adjusting to a new culture and workplace and the clashes between immigrant parents and their fully American ...

Oh, the Places You'll Go! (Classic Seuss)

Dr. Seuss

Random House, New York, 1990

This Seuss Classic In Not Just For Kids
This classic Dr. Seuss book is not just for kids. It's probably not even especially for kids. This classic book is the perfect gift for transitions: graduation, weddings, adoptions (my favorite paired with Dr. Seuss's "Horton Hatches An Egg"), new job, getting fired ...

Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 2nd Edition

Steve Krug

New Riders Press, 2005

Buy this, then get busy testing your site!
I can think of very few sites that couldn't be improved by applying the principles in this book. It does what "Web Sites That Suck" attempts to do, but instead of giving examples of horrible web sites that are most likely beyond fixing, it uses examples of pretty ...

The Kissing Hand

Audrey Penn

A heartwarming story
My sons and I learned about this book while visiting a friend in the midwest. I ordered it as soon as we returned home. It is a heartwarming story. I especially love it and have used the story for saying good bye at preschool and when I have to travel for business. ...

Great, Positive Book to Prepare a Toddler for a Baby
We received this book as a gift, and it is the best "baby on the way" book we have read. My daughter (almost 3) loves it, asks for it all the time, and has pretty much memorized it now. My friend's little girl who is the same age, and also expecting a little ...

Extras (Uglies)

Scott Westerfeld

Simon Pulse, 2007

Extra Good
Pros: An original, believable concept, great characters. Cons: Ending is a bit of a let down. I was a bit reluctant to read this book, as I thought that Westerfield's last attempt, Specials, was the weakest in the series. Nevertheless, I am a fan of the series ...

Voices in the Park

DK Publishing, Anthony Browne

DK CHILDREN, 2001

If you are a teacher, Get it!
I found this book when I was getting my teaching certification, and wanted to teach a 4th grade class on "Voice" or point of view. It was the basis for a great lesson! I think this could be appropriate for students in 3rd grade up to a basic high school English class. ...
