If vampires don't wear polka-dots, and genies don't ride bicycles, then a pirate certainly wouldn't be caught wearing pink sunglasses, would he?? Welcome to book #9 in the Bailey School Kid's series (which I affectionately call the "...Don't..." series for it's wonderful titles of mythical/magical ...
+ This author has actually met a child + good book
Fabulous! Mark Breen's new book helps kids and grown-ups understand how the weather works. He gives great instructions on how to build weather instruments. He gives lots of hints for predicting the weather, including looking out the window. The Weather Man's Song is a hit!
A juvenile history of Da Vinci with 21 related activites
+ Dive into the Renaissance with Da Vinci + Interesting, pretty pictures
I have been going through some of the books by Janis Herbert and others than combine history with 21 activities, and as interesting as I have found those volumes to be I have to say I like the ones that deal with artists even more. "Leonardo da Vinci for Kids: His Life and Ideas" combines a ...

I'm a 5th grade teacher and my students love it when we pull the book out and ask a couple questions. They love to share and it helps them learn how to articulate their thoughts and feelings.

+ The bestest best book ever. + Spy Science : 40 Secret-Sleuthing, code-craking, Spy-catching Activities for Kids
My 4 year old niece is into the spy business. While kids' spy toys can be hit-or-miss in fun, I know this book was a hit. I know because I find the book all over my sister's house, and each time I see it it's a bit more battered. My niece can't read yet, but this is one of her favorite bedtime ...
