Children of the Great Depression (Golden Kite Awards (Awards))

Russell Freedman

Clarion Books, 2005

At least one in five was hungry
I thought this was an excellent introduction to the Depression years for younger readers. Russell Freedman writes in a straightforward style and nicely avoids contractions ('did not' instead of 'didn't') popping up throughout his text. There are two stories in these ...

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead, 2007

A sad burqa "romance" with a semi-happy ending
I enjoyed the book. Despite having a mostly sad story line, the two female main characters demonstrated courage, love, and hope in an otherwise brutal and oppressive marriage. This book is not for children since it frequently describes sexual encounters in a somewhat ...

Kites Sail High (Heller, Ruth, Ruth Heller World of Language.)

Ruth Heller

Putnam Juvenile, 1998

Picturesque Grammar for all ages
Most students are visual learners and when it comes to opening the eyes and minds of students to the study of grammar (parts of speech), Ruth Heller's books are the key to this learning style. My high school students beg to see the pictures, pass around the books, ...

William Gurstelle

Chicago Review Press, 2001

A great guide for projects with your kids
Some of the stuff in here is dangerous, but kids will never respect danger if they don't experience a little firsthand. The projects in the book are a lot of fun and can teach you a lot about physics and chemistry.

How Raggedy Ann Got Her Candy Heart

Johnny Gruelle

Aladdin, 2001

A heartwarming story about the beginnings of Raggedy Ann.
I grew up with Raggedy Ann and the story books that had been given to my mother when she was a child. I still have these original books (copyright 1918) and shared them with my daughter when she was a small child. The Raggedy Ann stories are wonderfully warm, light ...

Cometas en el cielo

Que libro tan maravilloso
Este es un libro que todo el mundo deberia leer. Es muy conmovedor y enseña muy buenas lecciones de vida. La historia tiene partes felices y partes muy tristes y duras. Al terminar de leer este libro sientes como a veces tomamos la vida "for granted". Hermosa historia ...

State Series Quarters Collector Map (State Series)

Whitman Pub Llc, 2006

Absolutely Wonderful Product
I cannot say enough good about this product. I have been reading reviews on others quarter collecting albums and had settled on buying this one, then they ran out of them. I was really upset, but because of my procrastination, they got in a new shipment by the time I ...

The Kite Runner

Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead Trade, 2004

Must read
The book is fascinating, throws you into a world that is hard to comprehend for some and yet a lot of what is being described are things everyone of us "westerners" feels and does as well. A must read.

Cold Rock River

J. L. Miles

Cumberland House Publishing, 2006

Gripping, a page turner!
I recommend this book. It was so interesting-it had so many plot twists that I couldn't put it down. Adie reads the journal of a slave girl, Tempe. The journal was so gripping because it chronicled the horrible things that happenend to Tempe. After "the freedom" ...

Let's Fly a Kite (MathStart 2)

Stuart J. Murphy

HarperTrophy, 2000

Symmetry
Cute math book about symmetry. It's nice that there are books about math comprehension and that are fun to read. It changes the regular workbook mentality about Math.

Gardening Wizardry for Kids

L. Patricia Kite, Yvette Santiago Banek

Barron's Educational Series, 1995

Delightful multidimensional book....
I bought this book as a gift and I am delighted with it. Many books I see for kids are lacking in one or more respects, this book is a clean sweep on every front i.e. well-organized, accurate content, meaningful activities, good cartoons and lots of interesting facts ...

Angela Johnson

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2003

Poignant story with stunning artwork
This story is such a wonderful book for any train-lover. Beautifully written, it is a sad, sweet tale of a boy's dreams of Casey Jones and the railroad. The illustrations are absolutely fantastic. I am a huge fan of Loren Long, the illustrator. His style is ...
