The Higher Power of Lucky
Susan Patron
Atheneum/Richard Jackson Books, 2006
5th Grade Teacher's Class loved this book
I am a 5th grade teacher who has read this book to two classes. I am of the opinion that 5th graders in this age are very aware of their anatomy and understand the primary differences between boys and girls. Each time I read the book, I had a boy ask me what a scrotum ...

HarperTrophy, 1972
One of the best dog books I've ever read
Sounder is one of the best dog books I've ever read, even though there are some ups and downs in the plot. Comparing it to Shiloh and Because of Winn-Dixie, I realized sometimes ups and downs are good things. For example, in Shiloh it was always tense, and always ...

The Macro Economy Today with DiscoverEcon with Solman Videos
Bradley R Schiller
McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2005
Macroeconomy Today
This textbook is quite a comprehensive of introductory macroeconomics. Great graphs, well-explained, carefully thought out. The one downside is that it is quite idealistic, as one would expect of a neo-classical economist. The author does not recognize flaws in the ...

Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach (MySocLab Series)
James M. Henslin
Allyn & Bacon, 2007
Interesting and Lively
Admittedly I haven't read a lot of sociology textbooks, but this one is quite good. Every chapter has real-life examples (and many of the author's own experiences), so it not only makes you know the theory but also feel it at work in our societies, although the author ...

Bud, Not Buddy (Newbery Medal Winner, 2000)
Christopher Paul Curtis
Yearling, 2002
Bud, Not Buddy
My 3rd grade class really enjoyed listening to this story. The adventures of Bud, while many times being funny, touch my students and help them to see what another 8 year old in a past era had to endure. Great story line.

Marshmallow
HarperCollins, 2008
Sweet children's book
I love this book! Children are captivated by the simple familiar characters so clearly described. The story line is sweet and well written, NOT "dumbed down". There are lots of words on most pages and it takes more than a minute to read which is so helpful in ...

Precalculus Enhanced With Graphing Utilities (3rd Edition)

After going back into this book more and more I can only revise my opinion upward. Sullivan covers almost every topic before calculus and does it in a very straightforward manner. The text has rigor proving many important statements but this is never used in sacrifice ...
