Five-Minute Activities: A Resource Book of Short Activities (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Penny Ur, Andrew Wright

February 06, 1992
This is great for any time of the year but more so when you need a quick start to a lesson or a change during a lesson. I use it sometimes as a pre-starter for the times when pupils aren't arriving all at the same time (after break or lunch). I also use it when I announce to the class "let's have a change as you are working extremely hard" little do they know I planned this and have already identified the activity!

I have taught English in a 'good' school, a school where some pupils ... Read More:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Book 1): Adult Edition
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: J.K. Rowling

July 10, 2004
I remember the moment back in 2001 when one of my friends thrust Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone into my hands and ordered me to read. I'd already been vaguely curious about the series before, what with all the hype surrounding Goblet of Fire, which had been released the previous year. The minute the book was put into my hands during a lunch break at college, I began to read. After that, I couldn't put it down. My form tutor rolled his eyes when he caught a glimpse of what I was reading - obviously ... Read More:

That's Not My Bear (Touchy-Feely Board Books)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Fiona Watt

January 31, 2003
Simple touchy feely book, with big thick board pages and a different texture on each double page and the cover. Each page has a different bear on it (2 pandas, a koala on the cover, a polar bear, honey bear and grizzly) as well as the little mouse to look for every time. The text reads, for example "That's not my bear!.... Its tongue is too scratchy!" until the last page, when you finally find your own bear!!

My 1 year old enthusiastically feels each texture and turns the pages, and wants to read this one ... Read More:

From the back cover:-

`The moon and back before bathtime?

This is the second book about Baby Bear, who first appeared in the best-selling `Peace at Last'.
Beautifully written and illustrated with Jill Murphy's characteristic warmth and humour.

I have just received this book from Amazon this morning and couldn't believe just how beautiful it is.So often with books I have read reviews and been slightly disappointed by the real thing-not so today. It is superbly made with stunning pop-ups and small chunks of accessible text by way of small information books -all with their own pop-ups.My children aged 7 and 4 have absolutely loved it and I am on here to order some more copies as birthday presents.A book that will be treasured!

Where's My Teddy?
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Jez Alborough

December 06, 2004
My little boy's favourite book. The rhyming couplets really appeal to him. He is only 8 months old but as soon as I pick up THIS book, he gets really excited. He giggles along at certain lines and it never fails to settle him down.
Just brilliant.

Oh, the Places You'll Go! (Dr Seuss Green Back Books)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 5-8
by: Dr. Seuss

May 06, 2003
Sorry to be a party pooper but I loathed this book, unlike most of the other books in this series. The rhymes were good, granted, but the tone was awful; preachy, miserable and sometimes scary. I like the idea of the book, which is why I bought it but in reality it offers very little. Definitely not a bed-time reading book I'd say.

The Huge Bag of Worries

by: Virginia Ironside

November 18, 2004
I asked our oldest son, who had a huge bag of worries, to read this to his younger siblings. Although it is not aimed at his age he was able to hear and respond to the clear and simple message which applies to any age. It has really helped.
