We the People: The Story of Our Constitution
Best Selling > Books > Ages 4-8
by: Lynne Cheney

September 09, 2008
I am SO glad Mrs. Cheney wrote this book, it is a wonderful way to teach your children about the time between the end of the Revolutionary War and when George Washington becomes president. Most children's books skip over that part and children don't understand how hard it was to come up with a government that had never been done before. What a monumental task! Mrs. Cheney does a wonderful job of leading you through that time in history and gives James Madison his due in writing the Constitution.

If You Give a Cat a Cupcake (If You Give... Books)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 4-8
by: Laura Numeroff

September 30, 2008
We love the "If You Give..." books at our house. Our 2 1/2 year old will sit through "Mouse Cookies & More" which has "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie", "If You Give a Pig a Pancake", "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" & "If You Take a Mouse to School" all in one, and then she'll want to read it all over again.

We were very excited to get a new "If You Give..." book, especially one about a cat (our daughter's favorite animal); but I found this story to be less charming than the others. Some of the ... Read More:

These are very nice cards. As a baseball card collector, I was very pleased to see the high quality and attention to detail that these cards offer. My son has has a ball examining the cards and entering them on line to play the game. Naturally, card collecting is addicting and these cards coupled with the book and game are a kid magnet. The box that the cards came in is fantastic - it protects the card and offers information on how to read the cards and enter them onto the web site. This is a very clever item and ... Read More:

What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety (What to Do Guides for Kids)
Best Selling > Books > Ages 4-8
by: Dawn Huebner

2005-09
I sat down on my porch and read this through yesterday upon receiving it. It is a wonderful, LARGE book (8.5 X 11) with large type, easy to read and easy on the eyes. Our son who just turned 7 has had struggles with anxiety off and on for years. This book is 'right up his alley'! He is an imaginative boy, and draws to express what is in his mind. This book is full of pages where the anxious child can draw the topic or idea discussed. One idea I had (don't think it's a copyright issue if I own the book) is to xerox the drawing ... Read More:

As a school counselor, I am alway looking for ways to work with students to help them understand how their acts of kindness not only help other but help themselve. This is the first book I have come across the does this in such a magnificent way. I have read this book to all of our students in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. It shows how when we are being respectful and responsible to each other, it builds us up as a person. This book really does address how to be as a person for children and adults. The illustrations are also a terrific opportunity ... Read More:

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Best Selling > Books > Ages 4-8
by: Judi Barrett

April 01, 1982
I grew up with this story. It is great for young children. But if the child is over the Sesame Street age then it's too late.
The illustrations are cute and fun.
The only downside is that young children might like it too much and want it read all the time contributing to possible eating disorders.
