My 5yr old son is a huge fan of Magic School Bus series. Especially, Solat system and human body are his favorite among them. He memorizes the order of all the plantes in the Solar system. Draw pictures about it and make planets with playdough. Great book!             The Magic School Bus Inside the Human Body (Magic School Bus)10 reviews Joanna Cole Scholastic Press, 1990 packed with information Ms. Frizzle is taking her class on a memorable field trip through the human body in this entertaining book featuring the beloved eccentric teacher and her curious class. My only complaint is that the pages are so busy with information that it's impossible to sit and really read the whole book, but perhaps it's best to let a child's curiosity guide you through a number of readings rather than ...             LeapFrog Clickstart My First Computer116 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog, 2007 Great educational/fun toy We were amazed at how fast our 4 yr old grasped mouse concepts! This is an excellant start for her future "keyboarding".             Vtech - V.Smile Pocket Learning System - Pink12 reviews V Tech V Tech, 2007 My Daughter Loves Her Vsmile Pocket My daughter got this game from her grandparents for Christmas 2 years ago and she loves it! I read the reviews and noticed people were having trouble with it shutting itself off and stopped working, we have had it shut itself off a few times but usually was because batteries were low so once we replaced them or plugged it in it was fine. It does go through batteries kind of quickly. But the ...             LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer Adapter18 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog, 2007 A must have. If you have the clickstart computer the power cord is a must. My son loves playing on his "computer" and the batteries ran down fast so I decided to purchase this product.             Altec Lansing iM-237 Orbit Ultraportable Speaker for MP3 Players (Silver)7 reviews Altec Lansing Technologies Altec Lansing Technologies Solid Little Speaker This is the deluxe 2nd edition of a very good concept, portable and lightweight amplifier. The sound is big and it comes with a nice case. The headphone jack is small enough to fit in the original iPhone, making it an excellent speakerphone, too. Very satisfied.             Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (White)72 reviews Sony Sony Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm This item is great! The best alarm clock I have ever owned. With dual controls allowing beep or radio wakeup, and the radio function it is great. It also has daylight savings time built in which is wonderful. I definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting a dual alarm clock. It is also very economical which is even better!!!             The Magic School Bus on the Ocean Floor10 reviews Joanna Cole Scholastic Paperbacks, 1994 adventure with science content A book that the primary children will love with great illustrations and information about the sea.             Hasbro Electronic Hyper Slide36 reviews Hasbro Games Hasbro Games, 2007 Addictively Fun for Every Age Everyone from our 8 year old through our high school cousins right up to my husband and I - love this game. It's got three settings. One is sliding the chips underneath (by yourself or with a partner) based on the color they call out. They keep track of how many you achieve in a set period of time. They call out the record for this round and keep the all time record. This seems like a great ...             Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Orange)1079 reviews Pure Digital Technologies, Inc. Pure Digital Technologies, Inc. great item.. Love this camcorder! Great video and so easy to use that I bought more as gifts for my family.             Sir Cumference and the First Round Table: A Math Adventure18 reviews Cindy Neuschwander, Wayne Geehan Charlesbridge Publishing, 1997 Great Way Of Sneaking In Math! My daughter has always had a problem learning Math but reading this book (along with the others in this series) has helped her immensely! The books themselves are a bit young for her but the concepts in them (Pi, Geometry, etc) are explained in a way I think she needed. I would recommend these to anyone who has a child with problems in math concepts.             Canon Powershot E1 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue) Canon Canon First glance says it all: the PowerShot E1 and you are going to get along just great. After all, you love color that dares to surprise. And nothing delights you more than style that makes you smile.

A. Rey Houghton Mifflin, 1976 Great for young and the not-so young! My husband has a love for the constellations so I decided to purchase this book for him for Father's day; he just loves it and so do the girls. We went camping over the summer and this was a great book to use when we were star gazing; the illustrations are just wonderful. This is a great book for anyone that wants to learn about the constellations.             Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure12 reviews Cindy Neuschwander Charlesbridge Publishing, 1999 A wonderful way to remember pi I feel the age range given on the website should not be ages 4-8. This is appropriate for 8 and up. That said, my 5 year old enjoys it as just a fairy tale and I would not attempt any "teaching" to him. He listens as I read it to my older daughters and maybe it will seep in so when he's old enough to begin measuring, he will easily grasp the concepts. This is a wonderful book - good ...             LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT: The Mayan Adventure (Technology in Action)21 reviews James Floyd Kelly Apress, 2006 Learning the process The value of this book is not in the number of documented designs, but how it teaches you the process to come up with your own designs. It even does it in a much more entertaining way then my engineering classes did. Understanding the design process allows you to create any number of robots that do what you want them to do and this is an invaluable life skill. That is what this book teaches ...             iHome iH13B Protective Speaker Case for iPod (Black)16 reviews iHome iHome, 2007 louder than you would think This speaker box sounds great, and is louder than you would think. I use it all the time with my 2nd generation Nano, which fits nicely in the foam insert. The exterior buttons control all the functions they are supposed to, and the 4AA batteries last longer than I thought they would. The only negative comment I have, is that the AC adapter is optional, and if you can find one, you would have ...             Micro Scooters America Mini Micro Scooter, Blue20 reviews Swiss-designed by Micro Scooters, for quality, functionality and the best in sports technology Swiss-designed by Micro Scooters, for quality, functionality and the best in sports technology So good we got another! We have a 4 year old and this is his second scooter. Trying to keep up with his older siblings riding scooters was dangerous but this scooter was perfect. It is easy to manuever and turn and light enough to push. He choses this over his bike almost every time. It has a break on the back that is easy to use and turns by shifting weight which prevents toppling with a rapid turn. Very durable - ...             The Magic School Bus Inside the Earth (Magic School Bus)8 reviews Joanna Cole Scholastic Press, 1989 Rocks, Rocks, Everywhere! "The Magic School Bus: Inside the Earth" immediately picks up where its predecessor, "At the Waterworks", left off. At the end of each book, Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen provide a subtle clue as to the nature and content of their next collaboration - a sly wink to those of us who catch such details. "At the Waterworks" concludes with Ms. Frizzle looking at a map of a volcano, which tells us the ...             Disney Princess Child Value Pack4 reviews Disney Princess Disney Princess safety style My kids love the pack. I bought two and my daughters both think they are very stylish so they are much more likely to wear them. They were easy to fit and they are easy to clean. I wish that the velcro straps on the knee pads were a little wider so that they didn't slide down as easily.
