Family Resources Books

Many of the books for kids who come late to reading have themes that are too simple to engage these kids. My 7 year old loves pets, and connected with this story of a boy trying to find his dog. The pictures are engaging (another element that is important to my son as he is very visual - and an important feature for helping decode the words). The book is listed as "Just for You! Level 1" ( K-Grade 1 per the book jacket).

This is the BEST book for anyone anxious to know more about how to start their family history work. Explains in language easy to understand the reasons for doing LDS family history work and how to navigate electronic genealogy information. Chuck Call, the author, has given us a wonderful gift with this book.

Nice to see an inmate doing something good for men and women looking to rehabilite themselves. I know Tony personally many years ago and hope all is well for him and God has truly changed his life, nice to see him writing So many books including his pen name. Thought about him many times over the years, my life will NEVER be the same. Great book, much needed for this time we live in. Hope he reads this sometime, understand he got out in Nov. 2001 wish you well~ Always

An ambitious overview of new approaches to human resources. Key to the book are five adaptive strategies: choosing to invest in people; adopting a new set of beliefs; redefining organizational culture; transforming management practices; and ensuring a fit between the first four strategies based on purpose, culture, and management practices and policies. The adaptive strategies involve rethinking how to achieve business results, reexamining how work is organized, and transforming how people are managed. The book concludes with the effects of adaptive cultures and practices on organizational performance. We at Stern's Management Review (www.FutureOrganization) find this to be an excellent grand tour of new ideas and practices in organization and human resource management. As a premium, the book includes extensive references, making it all the more valuable.

This is the perfect book for a young child on the arrival of a sibling. When mom and dad head off to the hospital to have the baby, they give the older sister a toy monster. Little do they guess the trouble Little Monster will cause! Wry illustrations designed as much for parents as for children, and a charming story about how even little monsters can learn to live with tiny babies.

This book is hilarious. Most importantly, it has some really good advice for finding what you're looking for. You won't be able to put it down (except to catch your breath from laughing so much)!

I have read a lot of marriage-related material lately, and I would recommend this book as the most succinct. It's a quick read and gives lots of good Biblical advice, plus cites several other books which would be of interest. If everyone read this book and took it to heart, there would be no divorces!!

"Math At Their Own Pace: Child-Directed Activities For Developing Early Number Sens" by Greg Nelson (Professor of Early Childhood Education, Bridgewater State College, Bridgewater, Massachusetts) offers classroom teachers and home-schooling parents with a series of pre-designed, inexpensive activities to use with young children that will provide them with a broad range of fun and informative hands-on math experiences enabling them to learn how to solve problems creatively. The children will achieve an awareness of stable quantities and acquire counting skills to 10 and beyond, become able to recognize and write the numerals 0 through 9, and obtain a whole-part mathematical awareness. Enhanced with recommended ways to present these learning activities to children, and offering guidance on reacting to various student responses, plus customizing variations that tailor the activities to children's specific abilities and interest levels, "Math At Their Own Pace" will prove to be an invaluable and thoroughly 'user friendly' resource ideal for preschool and elementary school curriculums.
