Jones, No. 25)23 reviews Barbara Park Random House Books for Young Readers, 2005 A triumph for June B. Jones! Thank you, Barbara Parks for letting America's favorite first grader learn a splendid Christmas lesson in Junie B., First Grader: Jingle Bells, Batman Smells! (p.s. so does May.)! Even at holiday time, Junie is up to her expected tricks, and there's an awful rivalry with Tattletale May. But, alls well that ends well, with tons of laughs on the way to a heartwarming ending. Brava, Barbara ...             The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems27 reviews Van Jones, Ariane Conrad HarperOne, 2008 The Green Collar Economy The subtitle says it all for this highly-readable book. Van Jones' articulate prose and common-sense approach to turning our ecomonic challenges into an opportunity for a green growth boom is a must-read for anyone who wants to live and thrive prosperously on a clean planet. I hope every decision maker in Washington and our state capitals has a copy of it on their nightstand.             Junie B. Jones's Third Boxed Set Ever! (Books 9-12)17 reviews Barbara Park Random House Books for Young Readers, 2003 Daughter loves them...I'm still skeptical My 8 year old daughter loves these books, but the incorrect grammar etc. still has me a little skeptical. Her school even uses them all the time, but I still haven't figured out the big plus of these books yet.             Junie B. Jones's Fourth Boxed Set Ever! (Books 13-16)11 reviews Barbara Park Random House Books for Young Readers, 2004 Great Books I brought these for my 7 year old grandchild and she just loved them. She loves to read anything about Junie B. Jones. I am glad books like these are out there to get children started liking to read at an early age.             The Complete Quincy Jones: My Journey & Passions: Photos, Letters, Memories & More from Q?s Personal ... Quincy Jones Insight Editions, 2008 Everything you love about American popular culture is Quincy Jones. As an artist and impresario Quincy Jones has been the creative catalyst for over 50 years of American cultural phenomena orchestrating the sounds of Frank Sinatra, setting the ambiance for Steven Spielberg, cultivating the talent of Michael Jackson, and introducing the world Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith--to name a few. The Complete Quincy Jones examines the diverse virtuosity ...             Skippyjon Jones (Puffin Storytime)147 reviews Judy Schachner Puffin, 2007 Racist? C'mon....get real. My 5 year old really enjoys this books with the silly rhymes and play on words. This story is about a child-cat and his imagination. The play on spanish words aren't meant to be racist, it shows how a young kitten (similar in his personality to a young child) may interpret how they hear things. It never shows the spanish chihuahuas as being any kind of bad stereotypes. Just as some Pups in need ...             Junie B. Jones's Second Boxed Set Ever! (Books 5-8)29 reviews Barbara Park Random House Books for Young Readers, 2002 Our household enjoys our time reading Junie B. Reading these books has become a time to bond with my child. We enjoy reading together. I questioned the effects on my child's reading and writing abilities from reading books that would include poor grammar and at times poor behavior on Junie's behalf. However, I felt that this was a great opportunity to discuss the appropriate behavior and learn from the experience with my daughter, who is ...             Junie B. Jones's First Boxed Set Ever! (Books 1-4)164 reviews Barbara Park Random House Books for Young Readers, 2001 Very Cute! My six year old daughter totally gets these books. Yes, we have talked about what Junie B. is doing wrong, and how we should behave in "real" life. Definitely an opportunity to explain right from wrong. I'll use age-appropriate opportunities, real or fiction, to teach life skills. So far, it seems to be working. Enjoy!             Skippyjon Jones in Mummy Trouble (Skippyjon Jones)36 reviews Judy Schachner Puffin, 2008 Skippyjon Jones Has Mummy Trouble! This is a cute story about a Siamese cat who has mummy trouble while thinking he is a chihuahua! It is very sweet and funny. I liked the mummy, Egyptian motif for my 6th graders. I teach ESOL so I get to use picture books for kids of all ages. I love it!             Skippyjon Jones in the Doghouse52 reviews Puffin, 2007 Great Book Series! Children, Grandchildren, Parents and Grandparents will love these adorable stories ... so fun to read!             The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones12 reviews Henry Jones Pocket, 2008 momof4 My boys have poured over this book over and over again. Each time they compare information that they knew from watching the movies and also reading the books. They love it. Big hit.             Junie B. Jones's Fifth Boxed Set Ever!3 reviews Barbara Park Random House Books for Young Readers, 2008 A teacher's perspective I am a retired teacher with 32 years of experience. I began using Barbara Park books as read-aloud selections for first and second graders. The children and I laughed together at the silly antics of Junie B. Jones. The chapters were perfect for 10 minute read-alouds and the books lasted for about a week. The children began checking out copies of the books from the library and reading along ...             A Surprise for Mama (Skippyjon Jones)2 reviews Judy Schachner Grosset & Dunlap, 2008 Granddaughter loves it! I purchased this for my 4-year old granddaughter, who loves the Skippyjon Jones books. She was delighted to see that this little storybook had stickers. She loves putting stickers on pages. It was helpful that the stickers were grouped as to what pages they were relevant to in the story. She liked the story, too. She told her Mom all about Skippyjon making a pinata for his mother. It was a ...             Skippyjon Jones and the Treasure Hunt (Skippyjon Jones)3 reviews Judy Schachner Grosset & Dunlap, 2008 Not up to Skippyjon Standards My children (6, 4, 1) were disappointed with this game because they expected a book and more of the (usually great) Skippyjon dialog. This is still entertaining for the youngest kids to use in the car, but it really is not much fun to read or "play" and I expect it will hit the giveaway box before long. The kids do love that they can recognize aspects from various Skippyjon adventures, but in ...             Raven: The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People9 reviews Tim Reiterman Tarcher, 2008 A Must Read!! I enjoyed this book better than 'Seductive Poison' by Blakey. Reiterman was not involved with Jones in an intimate way and so this book gives a more objective view. I'd done quite a bit of researching online about PT, Jones and Jonestown only to find that quite a bit of info. I gathered seems to have come straight out of this book almost word for word in some instances. Where do you begin when ...             Skippyjon Jones Book and Toy set12 reviews Dutton Juvenile, 2007 Wonderful children's book and fun plush toy! I purchased this book for my 2 1/2 year old daughter as well as a copy for my cousin's 2 1/2 year old son. Both of them love reading it and giggling at the silly kitten who thinks he's a chihuahua. They love the use of the Spanish words they also hear on Dora & Diego. The stuffed toy makes for great fun for them to act out some of Skippyjon Jones's adventures! The great thing about this ...             Skippyjon Jones Doll26 reviews Judy Schachner MerryMakers, 2005 Skippyjon Jones! Skippyjon Jones is a great doll to go with the books. I actually teach middle school but teach English to those who are learning so I use picture books all the time. The kids just love the books and the dolls or whatever else I can find to go along with them. They don't feel guilty about them at all but usually choose to keep them in the classroom. They'll love this doll too.             Junie B.

Having most of the books already, this is the perfect companion so we can follow along with the story as its being read.             Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide5 reviews DK Publishing DK CHILDREN, 2008 Great for Indy lovers! I bought the guide as a gift for my nephew and his father, both HUGE Indy fans, and they love it! It is very comprehensive, especially the Indy time- line, which incorporates all Indy lore, even the Young Indy TV series. Neither my nephew nor my brother can put the book down.             Junie B., First Grader: Toothless Wonder (Junie B.
