He loves it! He has really enjoyed doing the various experiments in this book. Great buy for simple at home science experiments!!             Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (Baby Board Books)33 reviews Child's Play International, 2002 Loves to sing a long My daughter loves to sing a long with the book! She loves pointing to the book then the body parts on herself!             The Official SAT Study Guide, 2nd edition23 reviews The College Board College Board, 2009 Excellent SAT prep book I've been using the 1st edition since it came out when the test changed in 2005. My students have consistently reported that the questions on the real test are just like the ones in the book. Several hundred pages of review materials complement the full-length practice tests. Examples and explanations of the various types of questions on the test are particularly helpful. The new 2nd ...             Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day211 reviews Judith Viorst Atheneum, 1987 A Classical Book about a Very Real Little Boy Alexander must be read for generations to come. He has been a constant companion throughout the years as I teach High School Special Education English classes. Sometimes when my students cannot express how they are feeling, they will know to say, "It is an Alexander day." I know then that they are having a rough time and we joke about Alexander and all bad days must come to an end. There is ...             Pinkalicious131 reviews Victoria Kann, Elizabeth Kann HarperCollins, 2006 Pinkalicious (not for the black-at-heart!) We know that most little girls out there love pink, right? Then it's surprising that it took so long for someone to come along and create a book that appeals to both the pinkafied kidlettes as well as their pink-exhausted parents? Yes, every page is plastered with tribute to the color, but there's a twist: Pinkalicious is also a cautionary tale. Pinkalicious actually warns our little ...             The Going-To-Bed Book212 reviews Sandra Boynton Little Simon, 1982 Very Pleased I received the item in condition described and my son really likes the book. I enjoy reading it to him before bed at night.             Peek-A Who?171 reviews Nina Laden Chronicle Books, 2000 Fun board book! We first got this book from our local library and loved it so much that we had to buy it. We liked the clever use of the peek-a-boo game made into a lift the flap book. Our 6 month old likes the colors and tries to open the flaps (which are nice because they can't bend easily). Our 2 yr old likes to "read" the different words, like zoo, boo, choo-choo, etc. It's a colorful, durable board book ...             Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs217 reviews Judi Barrett Atheneum, 1982 cloudy review This is one of my favorite books! I had read it to my sons (now in their thirties) and now bought a copy for myself and my granddaughter. It was great to read it again.             Fancy Nancy181 reviews Jane O'connor HarperCollins, 2005 5 Stars from a very unfancy guy I absolutely love this book. I am not fancy. My four girls are not fancy. But we adore this book. It is about a girl who has passion and wants to share it with the world. Go for it Nancy! Even when things don't go as planned, the family rallies around her and life goes on. This book is about much more than fanciness. I love the illustrations. The image of the family making an "entrance" ...             The Polar Express251 reviews Chris Van Allsburg Houghton Mifflin, 1985 Christmas Classic First of all, the illustrations in this book are simply fantastic. I remember, as a child, being enamored with the wonderful pages filled with pitctures of the train, the children, the christmas scenery, and, in particular, the illustration of the wolves. Secondly, this is a fantastic christmas story suited for not only children, but adults. A true Christmas Classic, this story has never become ...             The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear (Child's Play Library)124 reviews Don Wood, Audrey Wood Child's Play International, 1998 ...and the very happy Mom This is a fabulous book. Beautiful Illustrations too. I first heard this story while teaching 2 yr. olds. I never saw a group of 18 kids this young sit through and entire story listening intently... (even though they've heard it tons of times) then yelling, "Again, Again!" when it was finished. The expressions the mouse makes are priceless. Now I have children of my own and they too love the ...             Boynton's Greatest Hits: Volume 1 (Boynton, Sandra. Boynton Board Books.)62 reviews Sandra Boynton Little Simon, 1998 Great baby present. It is small and sturdy and you can leave it in the car to read anytime anyplace. My children loved all these This is a great boxed set of hardcovered books by the delightful children's author Sandra Boynton. They are funny and books that will be memorized and read over and over. You and your child will love them. They make a great portable book and a great gift.             Oh, Yuck! The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty57 reviews Joy Masoff Workman Publishing Company, 2000 Not ALL about boogers This is a great book for kids, boys especially, to read during those prescribed 15 or 20 minutes of reading time per night. It's fun and informative and not everything is about boogers.             Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy216 reviews Matthew Reinhart Orchard Books, 2007 Star Wars Book For my grandson's 6th birthday, I bought the Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy. He knows the names of all the Star War figures and can play for hours interacting with the various characters. He has several different colored light savers. When I saw this book was a pop-up with lighted savers, I couldn't resist. When my grandson opened this present, he screamed with delight, and ...             The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science (James H. ...174 reviews Norman Doidge Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 One of My All Time Favorite Books What follows is a comment I made to a reviewer who gave this book a 1-star rating. As I put this much effort into it, I thought to post it as a stand alone review. Keep in mind, this is in response to a severe critic of the author. "All I can tell you is that I have myself applied his principles towards personal efforts and finding the results in my view, dramatic. You are trashing him in a ...             Purplicious (Pinkalicious)123 reviews Elizabeth Kann, Victoria Kann HarperCollins, 2007 wonderful book This book is great if your child has had problems being teased, as it helps show what peer pressure is about.             National Geographic Kids Almanac 20109 reviews National Geographic National Geographic Children's Books, 2009 My kids love this book! Great fact filled book for kids under 12. Fantastic color photographs. My 2 sons have not put this book down.             One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself)146 reviews Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960 A Bedtime Favorite This book (like many Dr Seuss Books) is a favorite bedtime read and it is one that seems to have been memorized quickly and one that started my child reading. The other books also helped, but One Fish Two Fish was one of the first where following along, and counting, started to show. Of course it is a great book in its own right and will bring back many memories to so many parents.             Cars and Trucks and Things That Go (Giant Little Golden Book)160 reviews Richard Scarry Golden Books, 1975 Toddler Boys love it This book was an old time favorite of my now 17 year old son. Several months ago, I took it out for my 2 year old nephew. He was hooked after the first viewing. He had several favorite pages and since he is at the age of loving all things transportation, he asked for it over and over again. I gave him my son's copy until I purchased a copy for him a few weeks ago. He calls it "his new book" and ...             Moo Baa La La La169 reviews Sandra Boynton Little Simon, 1982 Still a family favorite (the baby is now 23!) We bought this and other Boynton books (Blue Hat, Green Hat; Doggies; But Not the Hippopotamus when our daughter was a baby (our son was 4) and to this day, these remain family favorites! When all of the other board books have been given away, Boynton has a treasured place on our shelves. The whimsy, silliness, and sensitivity of the books are a delight to child and adult alike.
