books by Peachtree Publishers     books:       The Library Dragon15 reviews Carmen Agra Deedy Peachtree Publishers, 1994 I love this book! I love "The Library Dragon"!! Why? It is so clever in illustrations but more so in word play. There is a flip doll The Library Dragon Flip Doll that goes with this book to show the dual nature of both the dragon and the librarian. I am burning to explain! A dragon is hired by the principal to protect the library books. In order to do that, she gets rid of all the old books and replaces them ...             If You See a Kitten13 reviews John Butler Peachtree Publishers, 2003 Great for ages 2 and up This book is so cute. My daughter found it in the library several years ago as did my 2 yr old son (which will be under our tree). After reading it to him once, he remembered what you say for every animal. Even now, if you ask, "What do you say when you see a spider?" He will gleefully reply: "Eek!" I have also used this book at work (I am a communication teacher for 1-2 year olds with a ...             Out to Pasture but Not over the Hill15 reviews Effie Leland Wilder Peachtree Publishers, 2002 I loved this book! I am no where near "Out To Pasture" but I found this novel to be delightful. This book has the oddest group of senior citizens you will ever run across. Filled with both serious and light situations this book will make you cry and then laugh. Effie Wilder teaches us that just because you are older your life is still full and the possibilities are endless. Way to go Effie!!             Hero15 reviews S. L. Rottman Peachtree Publishers, 1997 excellent book The first time I read this book, I was a young teenager. I thought the author really captured the essence of a teenager and what kind of pressures they face. I highly recomend this book... It was very well written.             14 Cows for America15 reviews Carmen Agra Deedy Peachtree Publishers, 2009 14 COWS FOR AMERICA A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT TO REMIND US IT IS NOT THE QUANITY OF GIFTS GIVEN BUT THE INTENT TO PROVIDE A GIFT FROM WITHIN.             Willow King21 reviews Chris Platt Peachtree Publishers, 2010 The Absolute Best This a awesome book that I absolutly have to reccomend. It is about a girl named Katie who saves a foal who is about to be put down because he has crooked legs. She feels a strong bond between her and the foal because she was born with one leg shorter than the other, similar to the foal. Katie trains Willow King, the foal, and straightens his legs. Along the way, ahe has to deal with her enemy, ...             The Book of Shadowboxes: A Story of the ABC's16 reviews Laura L. Seeley Peachtree Publishers, 1990 I recommend this book for every parent I still have fond memories of reading this book to my daughters sixteen years ago. It's an excellent way to spend time with your child and promote a love of reading. Parents, this is the only ABC book that won't drive you insane to read over and over.             The Monster Who Ate My Peas17 reviews Danny Schnitzlein Peachtree Publishers, 2010 A Great Book for Grandparents to give A fun read for Grandchildred of all ages. We have given a copy to both families, PLUS we keep one at home for when the kids visit. We enjoy the other books by the same author.             The Whisper of the River24 reviews Ferrol Sams Peachtree Publishers, 1984 Before The War "Before the war" means different things in different centuries and to different generations. To my generation, the reference is always to World War Two. In the 1930s the USA was a much different place than it would be in the 1950s. That war changed our world. This book is an appealing look back at the 1930s, before the war, framed in the coming of age of a precocious but innocent teenager ...             To Dance With the White Dog28 reviews Terry Kay Peachtree Publishers, 1990 To Dance with the White Dog Heart warming and sad at the end. I love animals and their role in our lives.             Agatha's Feather Bed: Not Just Another Wild Goose Story9 reviews Carmen Agra Deedy Peachtree Publishers, 1994 One of a kind book If everything comes from something, where do the feathers in a feather bed come from? This dilemma (or rather the dilemma of six naked geese) confronts Agatha as she snuggles down for the first time in her brand new feather bed. The geese whose feathers she's sleeping on are not happy with the current state of events, and tell Agatha so. Seeing the justice of the geese's complaints, Agatha makes ...             A field guide to little-known & seldom-seen birds of North America9 reviews Ben L Sill Peachtree Publishers, 1988 Subtle and intelligent humor This book was not written for bird watchers, but for those people who are looking for subtle and intelligent humor. The authors start with the characteristics of birds and then add features of other items. My favorite bird was the White-Lined Roadrunner or Geococcys Alba-linearis, whose habitat is a series of interstate highways, primarily in the southwest United States. The last two sentences in ...             First Grade Stinks!8 reviews Mary Ann Rodman Peachtree Publishers, 2008 A must for the beginning for first grade After leaving the secure feeling of kindergarten, this book will calm the nerves and reassure students that it will be an exciting year in first grade. I read the book to my class and they continued to relate back to various parts of the book throughout the year. My favorite part is when the first grade teacher closes the read aloud book at the most exciting part, a trick used by most first ...             Moon Shadow11 reviews Chris Platt Peachtree Publishers, 2010 A very moving book! I think that this book "Moon Shadow" is touching because it is about a girl who really can't find her way until a beautiful horse comes into her life and changes her. Callie is an inspiration to me! She teaches me how to come in contact and get involved with something you love to do weather it's hard to or not! -Courtney Webster Groves, ...             Martina the Beautiful Cockroach13 reviews Carmen Agra Deedy Peachtree Publishers, 2008 FIVE STARS but . . . This book is something I checked out from my school's library (I work there). I enjoyed reading it, but I fell in LOVE with the audio and strongly recommend when you purchase it you get the CD as well. It has Deedy's story telling version (slightly different ending, longer scenes --- just incredibly gifted story teller), it has the book version and it has the Spanish version. I bought this ...             Hush, Little Ones9 reviews John Butler Peachtree Publishers, 2002 Love it! My daughter and I both love this book. The pictures are very sweet- each one includes a baby animal and the parent snuggled up for bed. My daughter picks this book and "While You Were Sleeping" also by John Butler, every night! I highly recommend them both.             Giving Up the Ghost8 reviews Sheri Sinykin Peachtree Publishers, 2007 An interesting twist on a paranormal story Death affects people in many different ways. Children also have a range of emotions when a loved one is facing a serious illness such as cancer. I still remember one of my former students drawing pictures of a large cross next to his mother right after she died. That was his way of coping. In the book GIVING UP THE GHOST, Sheri Sinykin weaves in the emotions of a young girl who's mother is in ...             Teaching Your Child the Language of Social Success8 reviews Marshall P. Duke, Elisabeth A. Martin, ... Peachtree Publishers, 1996 What a wonderful book! After purchasing a number of books that promised to deliver, this is the first one that I have found that actually does. As the parent of a six year-old little-man, I have to say that I really needed this book and I honestly believe that the material inside its pages, when applied consistently, will serve to seriously improve my son's life in due course. I am truly impressed with the level of ...             Growing Up Cuban in Decatur, Georgia8 reviews Carmen Agra Deedy Peachtree Publishers, 2004 I loved it. The only thing better is seeing her live, and my only complaint is that it wasn't longer. She's wonderful to listen to.             While You Were Sleeping11 reviews John Butler Peachtree Publishers, 1999 While we sleep, someone else is playing! I first got the board book version of this book for my daugther & really fell in love with both the story and the artwork! A few months later I happened to read a review where the person said there was a difference between the Hard cover and Board book version. So... I decided to also purchase the book in Hardcover as well. Now that I have both side by side, in my eyes here is the difference ...              search for books agatha, america, another, beautiful, cockroach, decatur, dragon, feather, georgia, giving, growing, kitten, language, library, little, little-known, martina, monster, pasture, seldom, seldom-seen, shadow, shadowboxes, sleeping, social, stinks, success, teaching, whisper, willow books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
