books by Candlewick     books:       It's So Amazing!: A Book about Eggs, Sperm, Birth, Babies, and Families (Robie Sex Books)72 reviews Robie H. Harris Candlewick, 2004 Great book- Real life. I have read mostly positive reviews about this book and I agree. We used this book for my daughter's Kindergarten body project when she wanted to know about where babies come from and I had no problem reading it to a 5 year old and a 7 year old, mixed genders. Though I know some have suggested that there is a political agenda in the book regarding abortion and homosexuality, I feel this book ...             Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Creatures (Ologies)2 reviews Ernest Dr Drake Candlewick, 2008 A "must-have" for any fantasy buff's private collection The latest in the popular "ology" series, Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Beasts is as beautiful and elaborate as its many companion volumes. Featuring writings on fantastic beasts from griffons and hippogriffs to phoenixes, the pegasus, unicorns, kraken, sphinx, and much more (but not dragons - they're covered in a different book!), Monsterology reads a bit like a nineteenth century ...             Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village18 reviews Laura Amy Schlitz Candlewick Press, 2007 Truly excellent! Winner of the 2008 Newberry Medal, Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! was actually written to be performed.

There's the Falconer's Son, the Blacksmith's Daughter, the runaway villein, the Young Lord, The Pilgrim and The Sniggler, all of ...             The Dot (Irma S and James H Black Honor for Excellence in Children's Literature (Awards))26 reviews Candlewick, 2003 very touching Just like "Ish" this story warms my heart and I have enjoyed sharing it with my 4th grade students. It is a great way to teach that ALL art work is special, unique and valuable!             Ish22 reviews Candlewick, 2004 inspiring this was a cute book about a little boy who loves to draw, and he draws quite a bit. one day his brother looks at his drawings and says that it doesn't look like what he was trying to draw. the boy looks at it again and agrees with his brother and he gets mad. i forget if he keeps drawing or not, but at one point he crumples up his 'last drawing' in frustration and swears to never draw again. his ...             It's Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex, and Sexual Health (Robie Sex Books)57 reviews Robie H. Harris Candlewick, 2004 Great book I bought this book to help get through 'the talk' with my daughter. It was very blunt and to the point, but I think that is a great thing.             Because of Winn-Dixie (Movie Tie-In)742 reviews Kate Dicamillo Candlewick, 2004 Because of Winn Dixie This is an excellent book to be read to prereaders and for early readers on up to adults. Ms Dicamillo has another book 'The Tales of Desperaux' that is fantastic and will be a full length animated feature motion picture being released on December 19th.             Feed129 reviews M.T. Anderson Candlewick, 2004 Feed for thought It's easy enough to compare every dystopia book to 1984 or "Brave New World". Yet here's a dystopia book directed towards a completely different audience, we, the internet generation - teenagers. Aside from the completely different sort of world, "Feed" touches on a number of entirely different themes from the most famous dystopia novels. Yet "Feed" does the same ultimate thing "Brave New ...             The Tale of Despereaux Special Edition: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of ...365 reviews Kate Dicamillo Candlewick, 2008 An Amazing Adventure Anyone Can Love This is one of my favorite books of all time! It's a beautiful story. The plot and characters are amazing! You feel like the author is really talking to you. She tells you things and you know she is because she says "Dear reader" when telling you something. At one point in the story she tells you to look a word up in the dictionary because she knows you might not know what it means. Desperaux ...             The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane219 reviews Kate Dicamillo Candlewick, 2007 A Miraculous and Touching Story. This is a great story about a porcelain rabbit who doesn't move but thinks deeply about his surroundings which are constantly changing. During his "travels" he meets many different people, including a vagabond and his dog, a fisherman, and a little boy whose sister is very ill. There is a very surprising and memorable ending, but you have to read the book to discover it.             Library Lion37 reviews Michelle Knudsen Candlewick, 2006 Friends can come in the most unusual ways "Library Lion" is about, well, it is about many things. First, it is a good story, a rousing story with a happy ending. Second, it is about books, how we love books and want to have them around us. Third, it is about friendship, how we can find friends in the most unusual places. Fourth, it is about duty, how we can find a place in our world and do all the things we can to make our world run ...             Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons (Ologies)129 reviews Ernest Drake, Dugald Steer Candlewick, 2003 The book, "Dragonology" My four grandsons are crazy about dragons and can tell you anything and everything about them.So, I knew that this book had to be the one I wanted for them.             Two Homes33 reviews Claire Masurel Candlewick, 2003 Excellent - very, very relevant The child who read this kept saying - 'that's like me' as he realised just how much he had in common with the character - an excellent book, gentle, lyrical, clear and straightforward - comes highly recommended.             It's Not the Stork: A Book About Girls, Boys, Babies, Bodies, Families and Friends (Robie Sex Books)14 reviews Robie H. Harris Candlewick, 2008 So pleased that I picked this one! When my kids started asking reproduction and anatomy questions, I checked out and read the reviews of every book on the subject I could find. I'm an RN, so it was important to me that it was accurate as well as engaging for my kids. I am so glad I picked this one. My children were 4 and 6 when we bought this book, and they absolutely loved it from the first reading. So did I. It has all the ...             The Tiger Rising78 reviews Kate Dicamillo Candlewick, 2002 Quality Literature I started off by reading this little jewel to my second grade daughter. Before long, I found myself reading this by myself until the very end. I simply could not put it down! The next day I purchased book group copies for my eighth grade classroom. Di Camillo's writing is eloquent and engaging and her characters leap off the page as you find yourself pulled into their struggles. The Tiger ...             Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out1 review Candlewick, 2008 A Life Long Love Affair Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out This book is the natural outcome of all those speeches and interviews David McCullough has given around the country claiming again and again, "our children don't know enough about history." And this book couldn't come at a better time, on the heels of the spectacular John Adams HBO miniseries. This book was written for young people to help them fall in ...             Owl Babies57 reviews Martin Waddell Candlewick, 2002 A Teacher's Perspective This piece of Modern Fantasy features a small owl family. The mother owl leaves and the three owl babies are left to worry and wonder where she's gone and when she'll return. In the end, the owl mother returns to her three concerned children and reassures them. The first time I heard this story was at Texas Tech University in my Children's Lit course. Dr. Button was a skilled reader and acted ...             My Very First Mother Goose35 reviews Candlewick, 1996 My very favorite Mother Goose book Publisher's Weekly called this book "exuberant" and that's exactly the right word for it. Bright primary colors make up this book, and Rosemary Wells' adorable characters populate the rhymes. Unlike some Mother Goose books, this one is meaty -- it boasts 108 pages, with a rhyme on almost every page. That's a lot of nights of Mother Goose at bedtime. Nursery rhymes help build phonological ...             Encyclopedia Mythologica: Fairies and Magical Creatures (Encyclopedia Mythologica)4 reviews Candlewick, 2008 another great one I'll admit I've become a little jaded regarding Sabuda's books. How can he possibly top some of the earlier ones? This one doesn't disappoint though.             Encyclopedia Prehistorica Dinosaurs: The Definitive Pop-Up148 reviews Candlewick, 2005 Adopted Japanese grandson Enjoyed greatly by a 10 year old Japanese boy who lives in Chiba, Japan. He also practices his English with the delightful pop-ups.              search for books amazing, because, changing, children, complete, creatures, definitive, despereaux, dinosaurs, dragonology, dragons, edition, encyclopedia, excellence, fairies, families, growing, journey, literature, masters, medieval, miraculous, monsterology, monstrous, mythologica, perfectly, prehistorica, princess, special, winn-dixie books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
