First, it addresses an important issue; that no matter what you look like, how you dress or how much money you don't have your friends are the ones who are true to you. In addition, your popularity can change within a few hours. Second, this story is great because it has inspired my kids to believe in the power ...             Apt. #3 (Unabridged)3 reviews Ezra Jack Keats audible.com Apartment 3 I first read this book to my daughter when she was 4-years-old. The New York tenement setting was such a foreign world in contrast to her suburban Dallas upbringing that she was immediately enthralled with the fact that so many families of diverse ethnic backgrounds would all live in one building. Keats paints such a vivid word picture that a child as young as she could easily be drawn into the ...             Jennie's Hat5 reviews Ezra Jack Keats Harpercollins Childrens Books, 1979 A favorite of mine for years! I was thrilled to see that "Jennie's Hat" was once again available. I first "met" Jennie in the library of one of the elementary schools that I served as an art teacher. I liked the story and loved the illustrations which feature clever and colorful collages. It was the collage illustrations that led me to adapting an introductory collage lesson that I've presented to my fourth graders for years. ...             Speedy digs downside up1 review Maxine Kumin Putnam, 1964 Great Kids' Book by Dr. Seuss-like Author Speedy Larue liked to dig.

Tasmanians found that Speedy had brought them important news about gravity. When Speedy returned to Pennsylvania, he shared the fun of his dig with his family and neighbors. - ...             The Little Drummer Boy Board Book2 reviews Viking Juvenile, 2007 great choice for little ones We received this as a gift for my 9 month old daughter and she loved it so much I decided to get it for a friend's baby as well. This well-known song has a wonderful rhythm that babies can enjoy and the illustrations are beautiful!             My Dog Is Lost (Picture Books)3 reviews Puffin, 1999 Wonderful Spanish lesson for early readers. I vividly remember this book from my childhood -- and I vividly remember the Spanish words and phrases I learned from it. Very practical and engaging.             Over In The Meadow6 reviews Scholastic Paperbacks, 1995 Great Book for Babies, Kids and Adults to Share! We love this book! I hope it never ever goes out of print. We started reading it with our son when he was about 11 months old. He loved the rhythms and we all loved the illustrations. It is beautiful to look at while you read. Now our son is almost two and I find that this book just gets better and better for us to read. We all have it memorized (my son chimes in at the end of each line). ...             Goggles10 reviews Ezra Jack Keats Aladdin Paperbacks, 1987 Love the books about Peter... I think this is a great book, along with the other books in the series. My two-year old daughter likes to read the books about Peter and in fact, will turn the pages and "read" the book herself, talking about the pictures which vividly tell the story. We live in the city and I like that these books are not set in the suburbs or countryside as many children's books only show that type of ...             Keats's Neighborhood: An Ezra Jack Keats Treasury8 reviews Ezra Jack Keats Viking Juvenile, 2002 Keats's Neighborhood Wonderful collection of Ezra Jack Keats's stories! His stories and illustrations are some of the best of our times for young children! The colors are amazing and the characters are timeless.My children and now my grandchildren are enjoying his work.             UN Dia De Nieve1 review Ezra Jack Keats Scholastic Trade, 1993 Great Book For All Ages This book is a classic! I love the illustrations and is perfect for storytelling. Kids absolutly love it. It is easy to read and is great for any kid from 4 to adult. I still love it. I hope you buy this book, you won't reget it.             The Trip1 review Ezra Jack Keats Scholastic, 1979 The Trip Any child who's had to move to a new neighborhood can sympathize with Louie, the main character of "The Trip". Feeling lonely on Halloween, the boy creates a city scene from construction paper and an old shoebox. As the title of the book suggests, Louie takes a night-time "trip" back to his old neighborhood by pretending to fly his toy plane there. As he wanders the familiar streets he encounters ...             Silbale A Willie = Whistle for Willie (Penguin Ediciones)11 reviews Ezra Jack Keats Perfection Learning, 1996 finally, a book my one year old and I both enjoy I love Keats' beautiful collage-style illustrations. As an urban apartment dweller, I also appreciate a book that shows children living in cities and in apartments. The stereotypical "house" that appears in most children's books looks nothing like the home my daughter knows. My one-year-old daughter loves finding the dog on different pages. I do the whistling for Peter and she does the barking ...             The snowy day (Picture Puffin)81 reviews Ezra Jack Keats Puffin Books, 1977 Absolutely timeless So this is pretty much one of the best books ever written. The story is sweet and magical in the way of nature, and the pictures are just to die for with Keats' imaginative and surprisingly expressive design that still has not quite been beaten since. The book, story and pictures together, provides a warm, homey feeling that immediately shows a life. Keats deserved this Caldecot.             Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine8 reviews Jay and Raymond Abrashkin, Ezra Jack Keats Williams Scholastic, 1958 A great book, in line with today's educational theory... I loved this book as a kid. It is a bit corny, but the message it relays about experiential and constructive learning is consistent with educational theory of the 90's. Knowledge is often best attained when the student (at whatever age) helps to construct it themselves rather than having it handed to them to memorize. Kids don't have to know this to enjoy the book! Highly recommended for grade ...             John Henry: An American Legend5 reviews Ezra Jack Keats Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1987 John Henry is a classic man vs. machine folktale. I originally read this book when I was a boy and I remember how hauntingly beautiful I found the story. John Henry is still one of my favorite heroes and I collect everthing I can find on him. The book has burned itself into my soul! I have no idea where my original book is, but when I recieved a new copy as a present I was a wash with memories. It's a very cool folktale and I can't wait to ...             Peter's Chair10 reviews Ezra Jack Keats HarperCollins, 1967 Pull Up a Chair This is a wonderful story with delightful illustrations about a young boy who is feeling displaced because he has a baby sister on the way. He is upset to see his old layette painted pink for baby Susie and his infant toys passed down to her. The one thing that has escaped the fate of the pink paint is his old toddler chair. Peter stashes his chair away and later sets up a clever trap to ...             Willie's Birthday (Easy-to-Read, Puffin)1 review Anastasia Suen Puffin, 2002 Willie's birthday The second book in the Peter's neighborhood series. Peter and his friends hold a birthday party for Willie (the dachsund). The party quickly becomes chaotic, however, as the guests are a dog, cat, fish and parrot.              search for books american, birthday, chase, downside, drummer, easy-to-read, ediciones, goggles, hamster, homework, jennie, keats, legend, little, louie, machine, meadow, neighborhood, nieve, penguin, picture, puffin, regards, silbale, speedy, treasury, unabridged, weather, whistle, willie books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
