books about: siblings     books:       Anne Frank and Me81 reviews Cherie Bennett, Jeff Gottesfeld Putnam Juvenile, 2001 AWESOME BOOK! Anne Frank and Me was an exceptional book and I enjoyed it very much. I can't imagine how anyone wouldn't love following Nicole through her journey starting in the 90's and ending up in year of 1942. I've read it twice and I know I'll set it down for a few months, then read it again! I recommend this to anyone with a heart! Enjoy Anne Frank and Me. Stephanie A. Tustin, CA             Fablehaven92 reviews Brandon Mull Shadow Mountain, 2006 The first of a great series After reading this first book of the series I was hooked line and sinker. Shortly after I found the candy shop war book and had to read it too.             Zen Shorts (Caldecott Honor Book)78 reviews Scholastic Press, 2005 Wonderful. Buy this book! Moral philosophy for kids - and their parents. My three year old likes the stories as much as I do. The messages are delivered simply so that you take from them your own meaning to your degree of understanding. We try to read Zen Shorts in the mornings to remind us of more peaceful ways to approach the day. I really can't recommend this book enough.             Swallows And Amazons54 reviews Arthur Ransome BBC Audiobooks, 2004 Enchanting and Realistic Enchanting It's hard to explain what makes this book so charming: The writing, the way the children and their relationships with each other are shown so clearly and believably, the very real adventures they have, the sense of place....but listing those traits doesn't do the book justice. It's also really funny in places! Ransome creates a world that is clearer and lighter and more enchanting ...             The Seven Silly Eaters61 reviews Mary Ann Hoberman Voyager Books, 2000 Silly fun which is a joy to read! Typically, I am not in favor of books that show bad role models but the kids in this book are SILLY eaters and most of them are eating healthy foods, just not in a healthy way. (Can you imagine living ONLY on milk or applesauce? THAT'S SILLY-- kids will understand that!) What makes this a GREAT book is the language (the poetry is SO fun to read aloud) and the illustrations which show the toll ...             Siblings W/out Rivalry T68 reviews Faber Etal Simon & Schuster Audio, 1990 Helping Children Get Along A wonderful book on helping siblings get along. But I also highly recommend for parents and teachers the book:Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. More than a bullying book, this really focuses on practical strategies,scripts, actual lessons and stories to teach children conflict resolution, friendship and communication skills; the importance of helping others ...             Ramona the Pest71 reviews HarperCollins e-books, 2008 sooooo true to life! How I missed this classic growing up, I'll never know. But my son has discovered the Ramona books, and they are wonderful and very true to life. Ramona's thought-processes and antics are so real, I now know that my son has been behaving like a normal kid! Cleary is so accurate in rendering the child's perspective and writing about it in a way that young children can identify with, that this book ...             Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods (Underland Chronicles)42 reviews Suzanne Collins Topeka Bindery, 2006 One of the best series I've read I am a K-5 school librarian and am always looking for good books to recommend to my students. This series is truly excellent!             Emily Of New Moon (Classic Books on Cassettes Collection) [UNABRIDGED] (Classic Books on Cassettes Collection)83 reviews L. M. Montgomery Audio Book Contractors, 1999 A Must for Girls of All Ages From the opening pages the reader is submerged in Emily's world. In my mind Emily of New Moon is the begining of one of the best book trilogies ever written. A story about the courage it takes to be true to ones self no matter the opposition, the power of real determination and true friendship. One cannot help but be moved by the powerful truths, and innocent loveliness contained in this book. ...             Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story (Avon Camelot Books)155 reviews Mary Downing Hahn HarperTrophy, 1987 My most read book of all time. I first read this book when I was about eight. I had gone to the library and was first captivated by the cover art. I read the book and fell in love with it. I became so involved with the story and the setting. I grew up always wanting to be an artist who lived in a converted church in the country with a cemetery in my back yard. (I am currently in artist who lives in a small town with a ...             Ramona and Her Mother (Ramona Quimby)32 reviews Beverly Cleary HarperCollins, 1979 The most obnoxious - yet entertaining - little sister in fiction! Being seven-and-a-half-years-old (right now!) may seem like a simple task, but for second-grader, Ramona Quimby, it's proving to be a mix of difficulty and confusion. After all, she's between two strange ages - seven and eight - and can't figure out what she wants to do. Part of her is determined to stay her mother's little bunny, twitching her nose and being babied; while the other part wants to ...             A Family Apart (Orphan Train Adventures)35 reviews Joan Lowery Nixon Gareth Stevens Publishing, 2000 a heart warming story This was a thrilling book about a poor family that live in newyork the family has to deal with many problems first the dad dies, then the 3rd eldest gets in to some trouble because he is a copper thief Mike (the copper thief) is sent to a hearing The judge announces under there mothers wishes that the children ( Petey, Peg, Danny, Mike, Megan, and Frances) are to be sent west on the orphan train. ...             Charlie and Lola's I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato Pop-Up (Charlie and Lola)40 reviews Candlewick, 2007 One of the Cutest Pop-Up Books Ever I love this book. It is so cute and even convinces my three-year old to eat foods she doesn't want to!             Night of the Living Dummy (Goosebumps , Vol 7)31 reviews R. L. Stine Gareth Stevens Publishing, 1997 Wow! This is the best Night of the living dummy Goosebumps book ever Wow, this book was awsome really awsome toatally triple awsome! I thought this was better than Night of the living dummy 2! I wonder why it shows Slappy on the cover of the book but the main ventriloquist dummy is Mr. Wood which on the other hand isn't as cool and evil as Slappy. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!!!             Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great37 reviews Judy Blume Puffin, 2007 The librarian recommended...and it worked! My daughter is supposed to be reading chapter books but she can't get into them so doesn't finish them. On our last library visit, I asked for help from the librarian. She said, "She just hasn't found the right book yet." This was one of the 'books' she suggested because it was audio. "Judy Blume is great and this should help spark her interest." So we got it. Well, not only did it spark her ...             Beezus and Ramona39 reviews Beverly Cleary HarperCollins, 1955 Clever, funny, and irresistible Ask any older sibling about younger siblings, and you'll get one common answer...they're A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G. They steal your toys, throw tantrums, and constantly steal the spotlight. But, even the most perturbed older siblings know that, deep down, it's impossible not to love younger sisters and brothers - sometimes. Nine-year-old Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby has always been a quiet soul, content ...             The Boys Start the War33 reviews Phyllis Reynolds Naylor Econo-Clad Books, 1999 Boys start the war This is really cool.It can be for 3-??yrs old.Pluse it takes places in my hometown Buckhannon,WV.The school they go to has beem turn into a building for 5-18 year olds,called Stockert Youth Center.The Mallory girls are really cool!!The Boys are trying to get the girls out of their old best friends house by playing tricks and being mean,and the girls try to show the boys the can't tear them away ...             Nina Won't Tell31 reviews Katherine Applegate Bt Bound, 1999 Nina won't tell...

Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1998 Faithful This is the best book that I've read in a long time that expresses faith in an ordinary, loving person such as Bobbi. (I didn't mean that as an offense) She has done the right thing by glorifying God in the press and in the book. I commend her efforts, because our God is an awesome God, and if we believe and have faith, He will supply ALL our needs, and He has kept His promise to her and her ...             Luna42 reviews Julie Anne Peters Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006 amazing this was a phenomenal story about struggle and rebirth. the story focuses on a transgendered guy through the eyes of his sister. and quite honestly i didn't go to sleep last night as i read it from start to finish. the whole story is about how luna (liam's true self) is trapped within liam, and liam is a construction what the most acceptable way he can exist without revealing his true self ...              search for books adventures, amazons, beezus, caldecott, camelot, cassettes, charlie, chronicles, classic, collection, fablehaven, family, goosebumps, heaven, living, mccaughey, miracle, orphan, otherwise, pop-up, quimby, rivalry, septuplets, sheila, siblings, swallows, tomato, unabridged, underland, warmbloods books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
