my son he is 1 year old. i thought this one is too early for him but he could enjoy it.

My daughter loves this book. I think just about any 3, 4 or 5 year old girl can relate to Zoe. She talks about where she lives on Sesame Street, things she likes to do (play tea party, cars, ride on Big Bird's shoulders and look at books), she talks about loving to wear bracelets.

But she does NOT like to be cootchie-cootchie-cooed. The expression on her face, as she's enduring a lady cootchie-cootchie-cooing her is just hilarious. She looks just like my daughtr does when SHE'S being patronized and doesn't like it.

Zoe does explain that Elmo likes it, so you can cootchi-cootchie-coo him all you want. (Then you see Elmo, offering up his chin for just such affection!)

This book is interactive - very ingenious. This is a playful book. Original and fun, bright illustrations and sturdy binding.

Highly recommended!

Award-winning author Amada Irma Perez presents Nana's Big Surprise, a bilingual English/Spanish picturebook about coping with loss. When grandmother Nana's beloved husband passes on and she comes to live with her children and grandchildren, her heart is heavy with sadness. Trying to cheer her up, the family surprises her with a coop of fluffy yellow chicks, just like the ones she used to raise. But the chicks don't lay eggs, and nothing seems to help Nana feel better - until one sunrise, the chicks reveal their secret. The emphatic and colorful illustrations by widely exhibited artist Maya Christina Gonzalez add the perfect visual flair to this heartwarming story of beloved memories.

I found this book by accident in the university library.... I plan to buy it! Comprehensive source of ideas for teaching reading and writing for elementary grades.

This is a great book that suggests ways to improve literacy today in schools. It explains the need to change in elementary schools. This book is a wonderful resource for all educators!

A cookbook of the favorite dishes of Michigan personalities, restaurants, and members of The Junior Women's Association for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, with color illustrations contributed by Michigan artists.

This book makes it possible for teachers of writing to sit beside Judy Davis and Sharon Hill as they teach in their classrooms in the Manhattan New School. As the title suggests, this book is full of practical strategies for teaching students to write well. But the book is much more ambitious than that. It gives us a window into how these two incredible writing teachers think about children and curriculum in a writing workshop. For all of that, readers of this book will be thankful each time they return to the pages of the book to learn more and more.

Nobody Said It Would Be Easy is a great book. It really took me by surprise. From the cover and the title I presumed that it would be a sort of cheesy adventure book. It proved me wrong.
The book is about a boy called Lance. He and his father live on a ranch in Canada. A while earlier, Lance cut his hand really bad when he tried to intervene in a knife fight to save his friend. Now, several months later, the cast can finally come off. But something happens that Lance wasn't counting on. He can't use his hand.
As Lance struggles to accept the fact that he'll probably never be able to use his hand again, other side plots come in. The tension mounts throughout the book, building to a very rewarding climax.
This book is great! A true page turner.

What this book imparted to me was the sense of awe Ms. Goldman sustains throughout the research process. She succeeds in humbling me with the acheivements of our children.
