My son's favorite book of all time!
My son Ben, who is about to go into 2nd grade, calls this his favorite book of all time. He is especially fond of the illustrations - and we have even decided that we should frame the dustcover! That is a pretty ringing endorsement from a 7 year old!
We plan to ...

Richard Scarry's A Day at the Fire Station (Pictureback(R))
Richard Scarry
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2003
If you're a Scarry fan you'll like it
I think this is a Richard Scarry Jr book rather than the dad, but it's still classic Scarry, charming and enjoyable. It's no Cars and Trucks or Busy Busy World, nor is it designed to educate your child about firefighters or fire stations, but it's a quick, cute and ...

How to Write a Movie in 21 Days
Viki King
Collins, 1993
Practical and motivating
The book does a good job of going over the common blocks to finishing a screenplay and how to overcome them. I love the writing prompts.
I was not able to write a screenplay in 21 days, and the reason is that I did not follow her prompts time line or her suggestion ...

My 3 Year Old Loves It!
This is a simple, charming, feel-good book. I took it out of the library so many times that I had to go out and buy a copy.
My 3 year old daughter loves this book. She loves to listen to it, but she has also memorized the story, so she will "read" it to me over ...

My First Day at Nursery School
Becky Edwards
Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2004
Ready for preschool and I can't wait!
We read this book substituting the word "preschool" where nursery school was used for a few weeks before my daughter started school. It helped to give her an understanding of what to expect. She still wants us to read this to her every day. It is such an adorable ...

First Grade, Here I Come
Viking Juvenile, 2006
Read to Kindergartener
I read this to my grandson, the first grader, and although he enjoyed it, I felt it better suited for a kindergartener going into first grade. It worked great as a discussion tool on how things are done in other schools. For instance, in his class, first graders do ...
