Carol Stock Kranowitz

Very Helpful
Contains many practical and easy activities that are fun for any child, not just "out of sync." Tried several already and found my grandson loved the originality and the use of everyday objects as situations for play.

Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
Marjane Satrapi
Pantheon
, 2004
Awesome Experience
Although this book is written like a comic book, don't take it lightly. The story is a deep and meaningful one. It is a pretty fast read but not as fast as you'd think...I highly recommend it!

Catch-22
Joseph Heller
Simon & Schuster
, 1996
Great great book
This book is so good, my weak attempt at a review is not going to do it justice. But I'll try. I knew before I was half-way through that this is going to be a favorite and I plan to re-read it immediately. The writing is so fresh, the character studies so sharp, ...

Lolita
Vladimir Nabokov
Vintage
, 1989
A road movie of the mind
Praise be to Graham Greene, who was not only an interesting novelist (e.g. The Quiet American), but he also has the merit of saving Nabokov's Lolita from obscurity. When the book found no publisher in the US, it was first brought out by a shady Parisian company that ...

Mariner Books

The complexities of identity
I live an hour away from Beech Creek, Alison Bechdel's tiny hometown and the setting for much of her graphic memoir Fun Home. I've always found the area oppressive: dark, looming mountains casting perpetual shadows on impoverished, dying valley towns. But after ...

Your child enjoy healthy meals without being duped!
As a former early childhood educator, I was a little dismayed about the trend to sneak healthy foods into children's meals. In my years of working with young children, I found that their palates are much more sophisticated than we know. By preparing a limited menu ...

Next cup of a reliable mystery series
I've enjoyed this cozy mystery series since its inception. French Pressed is a very good novel that both tells a standalone mystery and -- more important to those of us who have been following Claire since she took over managing the Greenwich Village coffeehouse -- ...
