|
by: Laura Joffe Numeroff List Price: $15.99 Amazon.com's Price: $11.19 You Save: $4.80 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Felicia Bond has a book that works for kids in the 2-5 age set. This is a nice story that leads from one object to another ("if you give the mouse a cookie, he's going to want some milk. If you give him some milk, he's going to want a napkin" etc., etc.) The art is well drawn and holds my kid's attention well. The story is whimsical and teaches about twenty objects (milk, cookie, crayon, tape, pillow, etc.) to young kids. They memorize the lines fairly quickly and the book can help with sight reading for the pre ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description Olivia is a young, energetic pig who "is good at lots of things." She likes to run, play dress-up, build sand castles, and scare her little brother away. In fact, Olivia has so much energy, that her mother finds it hard to get her take a nap during the day.

| 299. The Read-Aloud Handbook (Read-Aloud Handbook, 5th Ed) | |
|
by: Jim Trelease List Price: $15.00 Amazon.com's Price: $10.50 You Save: $4.50 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The Read-Aloud Handbook came out in the eighties, at a time when reading to children had pretty much fallen by the wayside, replaced by television. It offered parents not only good reasons to read to children (developing language skills and imaginations, encouraging children to want to read to themselves), and lots of hints on how to start and keep up daily reading, but also a well-chosen list of books for kids of different ages and interests. As far as I'm concerned, the luckiest break I got as a parent was that this book came ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
