Good book bad CD 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I love his book and the original tape that goes with it of Bill Martin reading the book and the book being sang. Gwneyth Partrow should stay with acting or bed time stories. My students reacted better to my off key singing than to her sleept voice.

defective merchandise 2 out of 5 stars.

This particular book has an included CD. The CD sleeve was glued upside down to the back cover so that when you open the book it falls out of the book. It is not worth it to me to send the book back to the seller for replacement, but it does sour me on the Amazon experience.

Editorial Review:

Four decades ago, Bill Martin Jr and Eric Carle collaborated on their first book together, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Since then, Brown Bear has become a perpetual favorite for generations of teachers, parents, and children, selling more than 7 million copies in various formats and languages.

To celebrate Brown Bear’s 40th birthday, this special anniversary edition is a larger size, has an updated cover, and includes an audio CD. Brown Bear fans will be able to read along with the story as it’s read on the CD and hear the author and illustrator talk about this beloved book.  We invite you to enjoy Bill Martin’s rhythmic text and Eric Carle’s stunning illustrations in a whole new way!

an old favorite 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I "met" this book many years ago when I was a student teacher. It has supplemented and enriched many lessons on measurement since that time. Recently, I purchased it in order to pass it on to 2 younger teachers, for their classrooms. Its charm and humor are still appealing.

Measurement 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is a great book to use as an introduction to a measurement unit. Quality, print of book, and size could be better, but this is the way it was published.

Great Book 4 out of 5 stars.

This book was in great condition and is a great book to use in the classroom.

Starting to understand the idea of measuring.... 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a GREAT book - actually, after seeing & reading it; I am ordering MORE today....The 'idea of measurements & how it works' is explained in a cute & funny way...and is easy for little ones to grasp!

Editorial Review:

The King wants to give the Queen something special for her birthday. The Queen has everything, everything except a bed. The trouble is that no one in the Kingdom knows the answer to a very important question: How Big is a Bed? because beds at the time had not yet been invented. The Queen's birthday is only a few days away. How can they figure out what size the bed should be?

Math Curse 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Have you ever had the math curse? Well, in the book Math Curse, a young boy gets put under the math curse. It all started when his teacher said, "You know, you can think of almost everything as a math problem." That got his mind turning. After that, EVERYTHING was a math problem to him. This little boy had a creative mind. 24 cupcakes, 25 students, 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months hmm... Will this curse ever leave him alone?
This story is realistic fiction. The author, Jon Scieszka, does a wonderful job explaining every thing. It is easy to understand and to follow. I think that anyone who knows how to read would enjoy this book. Never before have I read a book quite like this one. It is almost like a Roald Dahl book, where your mind will be wondering what will happen untill the very end. Personally, I loved this book, and I am sure that you will too.

Well drawn and a clever teaching tool 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I love this book! It is a large format so my son has a lot to look at and does not get as easily distracted as he does with smaller books. The pictures are also high contrast. I enjoy the illustration a great deal myself. And did I mention the clever integration of the Chinese characters into the illustration. I'm not sure yet how much my son has learned but it has taught me a lot. Great book!

Editorial Review:

Meet Lin and her pet dragon!

When the dragon mysteriously disappears, Lin sets off on a journey to find her best friend . . . and readers set off on a journey of learning and discovery.

By ingeniously integrating written Chinese characters into the illustrations as the story progresses, Christoph Niemann has created a book that is engrossing, unique, and memorable. The Pet Dragon is a playful introduction to the fascinating world of Chinese language and culture . . . and a terrific story to share with children everywhere.

You are invited to join Lin for an adventure you will not soon forget!

Love it 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My 2 year old son is obsessed with trains - he loves this book. It is very short and the pictures are well drawn. This books shows the difference between a hopper car and a box car, etc so now when we see a real train he can tell me what kind of cars they are.

Editorial Review:

The Caldecott Honor Book is now available in a bilingual edition to delight Spanish and English readers.

In powerful words and vibrant illustrations, Donald Crews evokes the essence of inexorably rolling wheels, so that even a child not lucky enough to have counted freight cars will feel he has watched a freight train passing.

A book truly for the youngest child -- and for every one of us who has been that child.

El Libro de Honor de Caldecott ya esta disponible en una edición bilingüe para el encanto de los lectores en español e inglés. Por medio de palabras poderosos e ilustraciones vibrantes, Donald Crews evoca la esencia de ruedas rodando inexorablemente, que hasta un niño sin haber tenido la suerte de contar los vagones de un tren sentirá que ha visto pasar un tren de carga. Un libro realmente para el más joven de niños -- y para cada uno de nosotros quien ha sido aquel niño.

Not gay anymore! 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 31 people found this review helpful.

The story doesn't stick true to what really happened. The gay couple split up as soon as he found a more attractive female mate. I guess that's the way nature was meant to be. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,169653,00.html

A most valuable addition to our library... 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

A beautifully written and illustrated story. This is a very sweet love story and I can't wait to share it with everyone. Even though this is very clearly a childrens story, it is a story that will warm the heart of the adult reader as well.

This is disgusting. What is the world coming to when we have filth like this being given to our children. All this book is going to do is confuse them!

Tango book is missunderstood 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I don't think this book is about gay penguins. It is about two loving and caring penguins who are acting like penguins do. Animals don't think the same way humans do. Humans are the ones who have made this wonderful book into something not acceptable. I will be giving this book to my young grandchildren and I know they will appreciate it for what it is, a wonderful book about two penguins who are acting like penguins should and do. There is nothing homosenual about this book, only in the eye of the reader.

Editorial Review:

In the zoo there are all kinds of animal families. But Tango's family is not like any of the others.

An All-Time Favorite of My Daughter 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is an all-time favorite of my daughter's. My husband and I read it too my daughter so much that we have the entire thing memorized. We recite in the car, while shopping and anywhere we are. I don't really know what mesmorizes her about it, but it has been a lifesaver for us. I highly recommend these Bright and Early Board Books.

BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR MY BOYS-WE READ IT ALMOST RELIGIOUSLY EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BED.THEY ARE TO THE POINT NOW WHERE THEY CAN ALMOST FINISH OFF THE SENTENCES BEFORE WE READ THEM! HIGHLY RECOMMEND-DELIGHTFUL BOOK-CUTE DRAWINGS.

A Real Disappointment 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The paper version of this book was my brother's favorite when he was little. This was a real disappointment! There are not many pages. There is nothing interactive. And there is no surprise party in a big tree at the end. Add to that, the pictures are faint and not likely to hold up to washing. Save your money. Get the real Seuss version of this book when your child is older.

Editorial Review:

Where are these dogs going? P. D. Eastman's all-time favorite Go, Dog. Go! is now a cuddly Bright and Early Cloth Book. Four fun spreads, based on the original story, show dogs going up and down and all around!

Animal book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I wanted a book that showed all types of animals for my grandchildren to look at. This book has beautiful color pictures of every animal imaginable. As the children age (they are only 6 and 4 yrs old ) and are able to read at higher levels, they can learn about each animal in great detail.

The photography is beautiful, vivid colors, and explanations of everything is provided. I see them picking this book up as teenagers and still finding something they missed.

Fantastic Wildlife book-Best I've ever seen 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I always read reviews before purchasing and when I read the reviews on this book, I knew it would be a great book. My son is Autistic and has always been an animal lover. The fact that this book has superb pictures alone is the perfect choice for any child! Another bonus is the wonderful variety of animals and the extent of information provided. My son has carried the book to school almost every day, regardless of how much it weighs! You can't go wrong, I promise. Thank you to a fabulous author, David Burnie!
