books by Eve Bunting     books:       The Wednesday Surprise6 reviews Eve Bunting Houghton Mifflin Company, 1990 The Wednesday Surprise I am a reading specialist in a middle school with a large population of second language learners and I love reading this book to my reading students. They are always so surprised that the grandmother is learning to read. It shows them that you are never too old to learn!             Wall, The20 reviews Eve Bunting Scholastic, Inc., 1990 Excellent book I read this book to my students. But before I had read it myself, I shared it with my students. It was very emotional for me. (I have a cousin listed on the wall. His son was born about 4 months after he died. I could see my uncle walking his grandson there.) The book was a beautiful, moving tribute to all those who have given their lives in Vietnam.             Night Tree (Trumpet Club Special Edition)6 reviews Eve Bunting Trumpet Club, Inc., 1994 Neat Christmas Story About Family and Traditions This is a neat story about a family's Christmas tradition. Every year, they troop out into the forrest to decorate their night tree, a living pine Christmas tree. The night tree is festooned with edible decorations. After the family enjoys the magic of the decorated tree, they depart, knowing that the friendly critters who inhabit the woods will enjoy the decorations as a Christmas time snack. ...             In the Haunted House7 reviews Eve Bunting Sandpiper, 1994 Silly Fun! My 3 1/2 & 21 month old sons love this book and insist I read it to them evry night before bedtime. The artwork is attention grabbing and the prose has a nice cadence. Of course I throw in my own personal sound effects for the witches, ghosts, werewolf & Frankenstein. This just gets them giggling like crazy. This book is not too scary for the littlest kids, because if you look closely, there's ...             How Many Days to America?: A Thanksgiving Story5 reviews Eve Bunting Sandpiper, 1990 A wonderful and touching story The first time I read this book was to a third grader. When it finished she sat in silence. Then, with an amazing amount of concern and compasion, she asked if it was a true story. The way the book touched her (and me) was amazing. It is a great book to help children (and adults) see the hardships many immigrants face. It is a wonderful book that can be used in the classroom as the center of a ...             A Turkey for Thanksgiving10 reviews Eve Bunting, Richard DeRosa Scholastic, 1991 This delightful book evokes the true spirit of Thanksgiving! When selecting books for our children, I try to pick stories that will hold their attention, provide an important message, and involve animals and/or nature. Eve Bunting?s book A Turkey For Thanksgiving has all of these criteria - and more! It is also a good book for children who are vegetarians or vegans. In A Turkey For Thanksgiving Mrs. Moose is preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for her and Mr. ...             Fly Away Home27 reviews Eve Bunting Sandpiper, 1993 Sticks with you I'm now 20, but I remembered reading this book when I was much younger. It's come into my mind more than once, and I'm glad to've finally found the title of the book again. You see, this is the kind of book that'll stick with you for a very long time. You've read the plot summary, so you know that this isn't exactly a regular children's book in its mood, but if it is possible at all for a ...             Train to Somewhere14 reviews Eve Bunting Sandpiper, 2000 True story, my grandmother told me. I enjoyed this book especially because my grandmother was a rider on an orphan train when she was around 11 years old. She is still spry at the age of 98. The story she tells me is almost identical, for she felt she was tall, plain and ugly. Her mother died in New York and her and all of her brothers and sisters (6 of them) came to Texas. I think everyone should know about this part of our ...             Scary, Scary Halloween14 reviews Eve Bunting Scholastic Inc, 1989 Frightening Fun This delightful little book has all the charm and spookiness of the holiday it represents. As a twenty-two year-old adult, I think this book has equal appeal for adults and children. Jan Brett's luscious, beautiful pictures perfectly depict the gorgeous darkness of Halloween night and the vibrant colors of different costumes (or are they really monsters?) Accompanied with these pictures are ...             A Day's Work Book & Cassette (Read Along Book & Cassette)8 reviews Eve Bunting Sandpiper, 2004 An Honest Story about Honesty and Hard Work Let me begin by saying that I am a big fan of Eve Bunting and admire her for writing about people who otherwise receive little attention in stories. "A Day's Work" is worthy of that reputation. It is a story of day laborers from Mexico; moreover, it describes how the whole family pulls together to make ends meet (a theme that Francisco Jimenez beautifully explores in "The Circuit/Cajas de ...             Going Home (Trophy Picture Books)6 reviews Eve Bunting HarperTrophy, 1998 Excellent book! This book is very touching...it sensitively portrays the sacrafices Mexican immigrants have to make to move to America for their children to have a better life. Very well done themes of parental love, long car trips, the sadness of leaving one's home country, sibling realtionships, husband and wife being romantic (tasteful and age-appropriate), and a child's growing understanding of the ...             Once upon a Time (Meet the Author) Eve Bunting R.C. Owen, 1995             The Memory String7 reviews Eve Bunting Clarion Books, 2000 I really enjoy this author! I enjoyed this book a lot. I think that it speaks to how difficult it is for all of us to accept new situations and how difficult it is to lose someone that we love. One of this girl's prize possessions is her memory string and as the story unfolds around it, we get to see her learn to accept the new turns her life has taken. I found it fascinating to go and research button charm strings of ...             Smoky Night39 reviews Eve Bunting Voyager Books, 1999 An Amazing Classroom Resource! Eve Bunting wrote "Smoky Night" as a children's book that teaches some very valuable lessons. She wrote about the experiences of the Los Angeles riots from the point of view of a young boy named Daniel. Daniel and his mother live in Los Angeles when the riots break out. Daniel watches the evil things people are doing outside his window and learns that they do it because they don't like the ...             Flower Garden4 reviews Eve Bunting Scholastic, Inc., 1994 This book is fabulous I am a student teacher in a three year old preschool classroom. We recently planted mums outside our window, and afterwards read this story to the children. They loved the beautiful pictures and the contrast between the city flowerbox and our daycare garden.             Terrible Things: An Allegory of the Holocaust16 reviews Eve Bunting Jewish Publication Society of America, 1989 Review Terrible Things This book tells about how the Holocaust could happen. So many times when things go wrong or don't look right, people have a tendancy to look the other way, not get involved, or "I better not help as I may have a problem too." In this book the different animals are removed one by one by the "terrible things." Everyone looks the other way- the only one to question why is a little rabbit and he is ...             So Far From The Sea6 reviews Eve Bunting Scholastic, 2000 A Children's Book that Is So Much More Wonderful, chilling book about the imprisonment(more euphemistically called internment by the governmeny) of Japanese-Americans during world war too, told from the point of view of a child who goes to visit one of the prisons(more euphemistically called "camps"), where her grandfather died, so far from the sea, where he had lived before his life was interrupted. It is sad and engulfing, with ...             One Green Apple3 reviews Eve Bunting Clarion Books, 2006 Immigrant empathy Eve Bunting portrays a warm look at the plight of one immigrant girl transitioning to an American classroom for the very first time. I read this book with second graders yesterday (who have a brand new student from Norway in their midst) and I think all of them felt compassion for their friend's situation. The illustrations are amazing and Ted Lewin has used his wife Betsy to portray the role of ...             Dandelions6 reviews Eve Bunting Voyager Books, 2001 DANDELIONS by Eve Bunting DANDELIONS is a very moving story. It does an excellent job in describing the struggles and bravery of a pioneer family. Although it doesn't detail why the family had to leave Illinois (their home), it does show readers that even back then parents may not have always agreed on family issues. Through the dialogue in the story it is apparent that the family wants their apprehensive, pregnanat ...             December10 reviews Eve Bunting Voyager Books, 2000 Angel in the Alley December is a remarkable book -- it manages to connect homelessness to the realm of miracles and the mystery of Christmas. As a reading teacher, I've had the pleasure of meeting Eve Bunting and sharing her stories with hundreds of children. The younger set don't always understand the implications of the old lady who visits on Christmas Eve, but they are deeply touched by the generosity of a ...              search for books allegory, america, author, books, cassette, dandelions, december, edition, flower, garden, going, halloween, haunted, holocaust, house, memory, picture, smoky, somewhere, special, story, string, surprise, terrible, thanksgiving, things, trophy, trumpet, turkey, wednesday books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
