by: Robin Page, Steve Jenkins List Price: $15.00 Amazon.com's Price: $10.50 You Save: $4.50 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description "What Do you Do With a Tail Like This" has the dubious honor of being the only Caldecott Honor Book from 2004 that was a serious contender in the first place. Informative, lively, and easy on the eye, authors Steve Jenkins and Robin Page have created quite a nice little piece of work. For those kids interested in the wide variety of animals, this book is a humdinger. Using a unique series of collage animals, each individual creature has been painstakingly cut from beautiful handmade papers. Sometimes ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

| 152. Everyone Poops (My Body Science) | |
|
by: Taro Gomi, Amanda Mayer Stinchecum List Price: $12.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.36 You Save: $2.59 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description "An elephant makes a big poop--a mouse makes a tiny poop." These straightforward observations mark the beginning of Taro Gomi's wonderful picture book "Everyone Poops." Not only is this beautifully illustrated book a great way to teach kids about a basic body function, it's also a wonderfully funny treat for adult readers. I imagine that some prudish parents will be put off by Gomi's explicit (but charming) pictures of animals and humans taking "poops" of all shapes, sizes, and colors. But ...

| 154. Revolve: The Complete New Testament | |

from: Nelson Bibles List Price: $16.99 Amazon.com's Price: $11.89 You Save: $5.10 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description To all those who jeered, got a good time out of, and felt entertained by, Revolve, this review is aimed at you as I give my own opinion about this New Testament/Seventeen magazine cross. Teenagers (and children and college students, too) have a hard time with church. If you look at statistics for the amount of teens that bother to go to church, the number is rather daunting. Less than half of all teens attend church at all, and many teens and college students that I have met throughout my life would not ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

|
by: Margaret Wise Brown Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description First published almost sixty years ago and never out of print since, this book is the heartwarming story of a young bunny that wishes to run away and the mother who loves him so much that she'll follow him to the ends of the Earth. Throughout the course of the book, the "runaway bunny" and his protective mother engage in a make-believe game of chase. It's a comforting tale of a mother's love for her child and the length in which she'll go to make sure that he stays out of harm's way. This book was a joy to read. The ...

| 157. Chrysanthemum | |
|
by: Kevin Henkes Amazon.com's Price: $5.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Chrysanthemum loves her name- she whispers it to herself constantly. Her parents reinforce how unique and special she is, which is why they chose her "absolutely perfect" name. Chrysanthemum thinks her name is perfect, too- that is, until the day she enters Kindergarten and the kids make fun of her. From that day on, she is crestfallen every day she returns home from school, and it's up to her parents to bolster her confidence. Still, there's no hope for poor Chrysanthemum's broken spirit- until a substitute teacher with an equally unique ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 158. Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? | |
|
by: Bill Martin Jr., Eric Carle Amazon.com's Price: $7.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description What I had expected in this book was the onomatopoeia ("buzz", "meow", etc.) that is usual to other books about animal noises. Although this book used some familiar terms, many of the terms for animal sounds were confusing to my daughter. For example, I had a difficult time explaining what "fluting" might sound like, since I really don't know what a flamingo sounds like (I live in the frozen Midwest). It's also hard to explain "trumpeting" to someone who doesn't know or understand what a trumpet is. The text flows beautifully, ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: DANIEL MANUS PINKWATER Amazon.com's Price: $5.50 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is the second book I read by Daniel Manus Pinkwater. I loved it! It's a great story, and one that kids will definetely like.. It's just got the exact mix of realistic adventure and silliness that makes a good read. Plus, it's got the Chicken Man, a character from several of Pinkwater's books, it features large lizards, and a healthy dose of Walter Cronkite. I don't think it gets much better.

|
by: Mordicai Gerstein List Price: $17.95 Amazon.com's Price: $12.57 You Save: $5.38 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description On an otherwise normal day in August 1974, a young Frenchman pulled off what may be the most impressive (not to mention foolhardy) wire-walking exhibition in history. New York City's early commuters looked up to the almost-completed World Trade Center towers to see a man, experienced aerialist Phillippe Petit, walking back and forth across them on a wire. This amazing (albeit highly illegal) achievement has now been immortalized in impressive ink and oil paintings in Mordicai Gerstein in The Man Who Walked Between the Towers. Among the artwork you will find the ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
