I have used Sign of the Beaver as a read aloud just about every year I have taught! I teach 4th grade, and have always had great reviews from my students. The text and vocabulary are advanced for some fourth graders, so it is a terrific way to expand their vocabulary and knowledge without having frustrated readers. I have collected a class set over the years, allowing every child to read along. I ...             Shiloh310 reviews Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, Ferguson Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1992 A well loved classic that deserves your time and affection... `Shiloh' was one of my favorite novels as a young boy. I can still remember reading it in school and being fascinated with the concept, with the storyline and underlining morals that forced me to think about things in a way I never had before. The overall plot may seem to be simple enough. A young boy named Marty finds a beagle he names Shiloh (after the place he found him). The dog, as it so ...             The Giver3084 reviews Lois Lowry Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1994 A Thought-provoking, Original Story Lois Lowry's The Giver has just made my top-ten list of favorite books. Although I am a senior in college, this is the first time I have ever delved into the intriguing world of The Giver, and I found it fascinating. The story revolves around a young boy named Jonas. Jonas has grown up in a supposedly perfect society where no one experiences pain or suffering and no one has to make their own ...             A Separate Peace767 reviews John Knowles Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1984 Great Buy I'm usually concerned about purchasing items on line, especially books. I can honestly say that this experience was worth it. I would recommend this seller to anyone interested in purchasing good quality books at extremely reasonable prices. Buy with confidence, I did!             The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963625 reviews Christopher Paul Curtis Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1997 Marvelous account An incredible and moving experience on the infamous Birmingham bombing. Despite the historical connection, there is still a strong family vibe going on here through marvelous characters. So much of it is funny and real and all-too-true to families, but there are timeless themes of segregation and racism and all the pain involved with this time period.             The Cricket in Times Square118 reviews George Selden Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1997 Same book I remember Still a classic. I remembered this book from when I was a child. My daughter (7) is now enjoying it on her own. I would say it's a upper elementary reading level but a great way to learn more.             Mr. Poppers Penguins129 reviews Richard Atwater Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1991 Our first successful read-aloud I had tried many different books from Black Beauty to Little Britches to enrich our homeschool literature time. No joy. Of course, to be fair, it's worth mentioning that my children are still all 6 and younger (all five of them!) When we did a thematic unit study on penguins, I came across this book in our local homeschool store, and it was a HIT! They all begged me to read "just one more ...             From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler309 reviews E. L. Konigsburg Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1995 A proper mystery! I think you have to be a kid or a kid at heart to properly understand the magic of this book. What kid did not dream of running away? Here is a girl, a very practical girl, who makes that dream come true. She and her younger brother create an elaborate plan to run away and hide in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Remember, this was written before huge advancements in security. As they live an ...             Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Children About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Don't2186 reviews Robert Kiyosaki Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1999 Rich in other ways too! When I first purchased this book, it was for the simple purpose of trying to educate myself more on the concepts of how the millionaires create their success. While I was not disappointed in any way with the context, what surprised me was that many of the fundamentals written about how to attain prosperity are spiritually based. Robert has done a great job in explaining the "negative reality" ...             Socks25 reviews Beverly Cleary Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1987 socks emily kocian says that she really love the book and that she likes the auters othetr books             The Egypt Game203 reviews Zilpha Keatley Snyder Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1991 Ahhh..... Memories I originally bought this book when I was a very young girl, almost 15 years ago, from a thrift shop. It was my favorite book. I recently went on a trip down memory lane by taking a look at all my favorite childhood books. This book is just as magical now for me as it was when I was young. It's a great book.             That Was Then, This is Now245 reviews S. E. Hinton Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1990 that was then this is now That Was Then This Is Now Bryon is a strong, 16 year old teenager in the book That Was Then This Is Now by S.E. Hinton.

His best friend Mark is living with him. There's a reason why Mark is living with him. That reason is ...             The Book of Three231 reviews Lloyd Alexander Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1993 A Wonderful Experience. I first read the Prydain Chronicles when I was 10 years old, and can safely say that in my 45 years, I have never enjoyed a series of books more. To those who haven't read them, I am truly envious--to be able to enjoy and savor these books for the first time would be wonderful. The themes and lessons that Lloyd Alexander incorporated into this book were things that I was not able to ...             Superfudge102 reviews Judy Blume Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1988 Awesome Book 'Superfudge' is the sequel to 'Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing,' another classic children's story. This book would make a great gift for an older child. A funny and wierd book about two brothers. Peter the oldest brother does not get any attention, while his brother, Fudge, is wild and spoiled. Twelve-year-old Peter Hatcher and his family are moving to Princeton for a year. Peter and his ...             The Chocolate Touch85 reviews Patrick Skene Catling Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1996 A Chocolate Surprise!! My name is Nick, and I am 10 years old. I read this book and I liked it. I think everyone would like this book, except if you don't like chocolate. My favorite part was when Dr. Cranium said that John had Chocolatitis, where everything you touch turns to chocolate. The book was surprising because when John went to show his dad the brick building where he got the chocolate, the store was gone. ...             Dear Mr. Henshaw153 reviews Beverly Cleary Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1992 Coming-of-Age I cannot think of this book without deep fondness. If you let it, this is one of those books that can change your life. It's honest and innocent all at once, and Cleary does an incredible job of capturing the mood of a boy going through a confusing time of friends and family. His only outlet is a series of letters to his favorite author. What begins as a school assignment becomes a ...             The Pigman344 reviews Paul Zindel Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1983 Pigman Review by Dallin Johnson As a reader of The Pigman, I thought it was a very good book. I really loved the way that it was narrated. It was humorous at some points when John and Lorraine would switch off chapters. They would always correct the previous writer on something they said about each other. I thought it was clever and it kept my attention for the whole book. The story and characters in The Pigman were ...             When I Say No, I Feel Guilty46 reviews Manuel J. Smith Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1978 Thank God for this book! These techniques are timeless! I went to assertive training more than 25 years ago, and the early edition of this book was what they used. The techniques are timeless. Thank God I learned these skills before I got married! They have added so much to our relationship (25 years and going strong!). Thank God I learned these skills before I had to deal with insurance companies about my long term illness. These techniques work ...             The Great Brain79 reviews John D. Fitzgerald Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1990 A great read but BEWARE. This book is a wonderful protrait of 19th century rural America, but people should be aware that it was written at a time when there was much more freedom of speech than we have today. Topics in the book include suicide, religious intolerance and fear of immigrants. There is a scene where the boys go skinny dipping and also one story concerns John mating his dog, so this book probably should not ...              search for books about, beaver, birmingham, brain, children, chocolate, class, cricket, egypt, frankweiler, great, guilty, henshaw, middle, mixed-up, money, number, peace, penguins, pigman, poppers, separate, shiloh, socks, square, superfudge, teach, three, touch, watsons books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
