fantastic (1), Sam becomes a tragic hero. (1), signifying its overall importance. There are also tabs pointing out important parts of the illustrations. This book is great for younger childern and has been carefully crafted to appeal to all readers. (1), This book is written into two page chapters detailing important events in the American Revolution. Each page has text that is highlighted (1), but I don't think this book would appeal to young adult masses. (1), but it definitely needs something. This is definitely a book for someone interested in a a niche story (1), a slow ardous process. I'm not sure what could be done to liven up this plot (1), A Single Shard was not a fast paced read at all. The characters weren't enigmatic or interesting. The book read like Tree-ear's hike to the court (1), he learns that war is not as glamorous as he thought. Sam's family struggles with his decision throughout the book. Collier and Collier do a fabulous job of bringing to life a fictional story of a boy going off to war. Like so many young soldiers (1), Sally Clayton (1), once he is involved (1), This is a great war story. Sam so much wants to be involved in the feverish revolutionary war in the colonies. However (1), strange things start to happen and eventually a simple relaxing camping trip turns into a very dire situation! (1), a divorced dad and his daughter are planning a camping trip to Mexico. Once they get to the secluded island in the Sea of Cortez (1), Sweet Island Friday is a Taylor classic! The adventure and suspense found in this story keeps any reader flipping pages. The two main characters (1), The Cay. (1), This is a gorgeous book put together by two very talented people (1), the author and Sophie Herxheimer (1), can be described as a pre-quel. It highlights characters before The Cay and then flashes forward to Phillip's life after being rescued from the cay. The chapters flip-flop altering between story lines. I found myself reading alternate chapters and then go (1), and never loses hope of finding her family herself. This story is engaging (1), which include some well chosen images/graphics/cartoons that support the text. At the end of the book there is a timeline of events that support and summarize the reading as well as a glossary (1), This is an appropriate non-fiction book for upper elementary students interested in the Revolutionary War. Landau does a nice job in laying out the story in short 2-4 page chapters (1), an organization that supports Afghan women. (1), Ellis is donating a portion of the book price to Women for Women (1), Ellis does a fantastic job of bringing the issues of Afghanistan to young adult literature. With the purchase of any of her books (1), but at times very sad. However (1), that follows the issues of women and children in war torn Afghanistan. She does a great job of instantly pulling in the reader to a fast paced plot with dynamic characters. Parvana is the hope for many in this story (1), the illustrator. The tales have become Sally's tales (1), This is the second book in a trilogy by Deborah Ellis (1), and she even leaves space for a possible fourth book. Mud City is a fast paced book with danger on every page turn! (1), that isn't going to let her dire situation destroy her. She continues to fight to survive and over comes many difficult situations. Shauzia is introduced in the the first book of this series The Breadwinner. Deborah Ellis continues the story of Shauzia in (1), is full of fight. A vibrant spirit (1), Shauzia (1), Mud City is the third book chronicling the life a young girl struggling to survive on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan in the late 1990s/early 2000s. The main character (1), but she has carefully maintained the Asian authenticity. At the end of the book there is a brief annotation about each tale. A great book to add to any collection. (1), and it just doesn't measure up to the original (1), Taylor's sequel to The Cay was written over 20 years after the first book. The second book (1), What attracted me to the 'Aleutian Sparrow' initially was the graphic design on the chapter pages. Beyond that the concise (1), the old kind woman (1), reinforcing this structure for beginning readers. Lois Lenski has written illustrated over 90 books and The Little Farm is just another of her masterpieces. (1), colorful vivid pictures are on the right. The text is basic and repetitive; good for a beginning reader. It uses third person narrator throughout the book (1), The Little Farm by Lois Lenski is a classic. The text is on the left (1), warm colors greet the reader on every page. 'Sitti and the Cats' would be a great book to diversify a library's tale collection. (1), that have magical powers. The book itself is well designed and makes reading the predictable tale more enjoyable. There is an introduction that includes some background information about Palestine. Then on subsequent pages there are fact/vocab boxes that (1), and her neighbor with the sharp tongue. The tale is also typical in that there are personified animals in it (1), 'You get what you deserve.' It has two main characters (1), is lively and brave. The title of the book reflects what she does every day; goes to the market in disguise to try and earn enough money to support her family. Her knew identity as a boy gives her freedom to move around the bombed out city (1), Sitti and the Cats is a typical tale with the theme (1), makes it more readable for struggling readers and under-motivated readers. This could be used/taught in a unit with Fairwell to Manzanar. Aleutian Sparrow is a creative and interesting piece of literature. (1), or at least a book that was for someone older than 8 years of age. The 'Aleutian Sparrow' is un-rhymed verse. Each page is really a separate poem highly one aspect of the Japanese invasion of the Aleutians during WW2 and the relocation of Aleuts. It is fi (1), but the way it was written and designed (1), I think Karen Hesse has written a text that could easily differentiate a WW2 literature unit for below grade level readers. This book is not easy (1), but is written in first person. This gives the book an appearance of being non-fiction. I think using first person narrator makes the book easier to read. Finally (1), light looking text attracted my literature eye. I hadn't seen a book designed like this before (1), the narrator - main character (1), albeit in constant fear of being discovered. Ellis does a fantastic job in moving the plot along (1), and never leaves the reader frustrated by a slow plot or static characters. (1), a brief cowboy glossary so the cowboy jargon doesn't take away from the story itself. Cowboy Small is an old-fashioned cowboy. He fixes fences (1), Avi has great skill in character development (1), This is another great book by Avi. What is best about Avi is his ability to write in so many genres. This fiction pieces is set out west in the 1920s and is about children in a rural area fighting to get an education when the real teacher is called away f (1), Giddyup! Lois Lenski stories are priceless and Cowboy Small doesn't disappoint it's audience at all. This is a great early reader book for any child. Before the story begins (1), but it is cute and to a point fairly factual. Cowboy Small gives some insight into a life style that has almost been extinguished in modern America. (1), brands animals and rides in a rodeo ring. This book might be stereotyping cowboys of the wild west a little bit (1), rounds up cattle (1), Lenski included in this work (1), suspense is on every page. There is also a brief glossary in the back to assist with some of the language used in the novel. This book would be a great fit for a class read (1), Brave Irene is a cute story of a little girl full of tenacity that is not going to let a little snow storm get in the way of delivering a dress to a duchess. What is interesting about this book is that the vocabulary doesn't always seem to match the grade (1), despite it small flaws. (1), there are some words that don't seem to fit the level of this book; delirious and hastening just don't seem to fit the level this story would be most appropriate for. An enjoyable story (1), but on careful review (1), which I'd put at 2nd grade. This might look like a typical children's story (1), The Breadwinner is a fictional account of a girl living in Kabul in the late 1990s during the rule of the Taliban. Parvana (1), or for any young adult who wants to experience a war torn city through the eyes of Parvana. (1), bibliography and web site page. This book is only 42 pages and not intimidating to any elementary reader. (1), Daughter of Venice by Donna Jo Napoli is a fabulous book for the young adult who loves historical fiction. The first aspect of this book that was impressive was that Donna Jo Napoli is a researcher. She completed a lot of research prior to writing this th (1), seem to be experiencing the war just like his father does in France. When Johnny realizes what is happening to his soldiers in his aunt's garden is also happening in France (1), there is a short vocabulary list that may enhance a reader's understanding. As you read through the creative monologues you can't help but be distracted by the illustrations and page layout. Each page has a ribbon of color (1), all the graphics clearly support the text. At the back of the book is an index (1), I think it would still be appropriate for a middle school library. Each page is focused on a specific topic. The pictures and illustrations on the pages enhance the reading experience. Whether it is a photo of monkeys in a tree or a pencil sketch (1), This book focuses on a fairly narrow topic; old world monkeys. The reading level of the text is probably appropriate for upper elementary students. However (1), but the book is definitely a work of art! This book also received the 2008 Newbery Medal. (1), but look like simple colored sketches. The simplicity almost mimics the style of art from the medieval period. The colors are rich and vivid. The color tones almost remind me of the richness in altar pieces. Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! May or may not be s (1), that gives the page edges an appearance of a framed stage. The drawings are colored (1), This is an amazing book. It is a collection of one act plays that a librarian wrote her students at her school. The plays are focused around a medieval theme and each play highlights a variety of people that would have been found living in a medieval vill (1), her father is headed off to the war in Europe (1), Pioneer Crafts would be a great book for an elementary teacher or middle school social studies teacher. There are 19 easy crafts in this book that don't require too many supplies. The directions are clear and easy to follow and always include clear drawin (1), there are used copies on Amazon.com. Pioneer Crafts is a great resource. (1), which is a country no always represented very well in literature. This book would be a nice addition. (1), The illustrations in this story look like oil paintings. They are colorful and rich in appearance and could stand alone! The story is simple and teaches a lesson of humility and the consequences of greed. The tale is Thai (1), but not a comfortable size for an elementary student to take home. Overall this book that was originally produced in Italy is nicely done; not over done. (1), but thin so it might be a comfortable size to sit on the floor with (1), which definitely gives this book a hard science feel to it. It isn't just a cute animal book; it has an index! Old World Monkeys was well planned and designed. (1), The setting of the this book is WW 2 - Long Island (1), yet muted. The region chapters don't begin to present or discuss ALL animals from the area (1), ' the sequel to 'Lily's Crossing' is a disappoint to the fast plot action of 'Lily's Crossing.' (1), all groups in between enjoyed the book. The book is about 100 pages (1), but it's interest level is limitless. I've used it with drop level language arts students and advanced students too (1), and the search to uncover who H. Brady was. The book is written at an upper elementary level (1), and sent to a camp (1), and one day a suitcase came in the mail from Europe. A group of young girls that were regular patrons of the museum desperately wanted to find out the story of 'H. Brady' the name on the suitcase. One of the museum curators took on this project and that's (1), This is a carefully crafted story of a Jewish Czech girl in the 1940s. The book evolved from a research project a holocaust museum in Japan was working on. The museum had requested some artifacts from Auschwitz (1), 'Willow Run (1), New York. Lily is the main character (1), would appeal to many people. Unfortunatley (1), I think this book (1), a male and female (1), but they adventures the two get into and their love/hate relationship keeps this book flowing! Due to the fact that there are two strong characters in the story (1), arrives. Albert and Lily don't hit it off (1), the neighbors nephew (1), Lily becomes the charge of her grandmother and heads to Long Island for the summer. The story jumps right in and Lily is constantly off on adventures that may and usually do get her in trouble. The neighbors down the street are refugees from Europe and ju (1), but have selected some of the more well known species. The book is large (1), but more comic in nature than realistic. The illustrations are colorful (1), This is what I call a history text - level one for the non-social studies/history student. If more kids read graphic texts with interesting (1), because he can write so many books in different genres. This story has a strong female main character (1), This is not a new novel at all (1), proves to be a master! (1), the techincal jargon does add a certain authenticity to the tale. An engaging story for any child! Avi once again (1), but a lot of children don't stop reading to turn back 100 pages to look up a word. However (1), a mutiny breaks out on board that changes Charlotte's life forever. The only part of this book that sometimes gets tedious is the amount of 'ship' jargon most YA are not familiar with. There are diagrams in the back that are fairly explicit (1), but has a large supporting cast of pirate/seaman ruffians all children will enjoy. This novel is about a girl traveling alone on a merchant ship back to the Americas alone. Shortly into the voyage (1), Avi is a master author (1), when she and her brother will leave and what they will take (1), whether they are fans of history or not! (1), much more interesting! There are short quizzes littered throughout the text and ones just for the teacher!! Kids love to quiz their teachers! The graphic design of almost every page in the book is different as well. Nothing is static! This is also attract (1), survived and conquered (1), who they lived (1), especially children! Not interesting! This book however is about a the Romans (1), most historical books are about dead people and wars no one has heard about (1), yet REAL stories about history they may actually enjoy it. However (1), but I didn't read it until it was suggested to me by a student. I found Konigsburg story of run away children in New York City to be creative and engaging! Claudia an eldest daughter who is feeling unloved is the mastermind of the run away scheme. She has (1), and most importantly where they will go. Of course (1), but not too advanced for what would be a mixed audience of younger children. The illustrations are detailed (1), and the court of Milan; specifically it is supposed to be about the woman who posed for the famous Mona Lisa (1), the chapter is organized by sub-topics like the Rocky Mountains and the Everglades. The text is clear and organized. Detailed (1), for example North America (1), but it is also a great reference book for mid and upper elementary students. The book is divided into chapters that have been organized around the regions/continents of the world. Within each region (1), I think this is a gorgeous picture book (1), but that is the fictional account of this book. I wouldn't say the characters are extremely well-developed or that the plot is quick and engaging; it isn't. It is just dialogue about relationships and who has been wronged. I don't think this book is parti (1), the second wife of the the Duke of Milan. The book describes possible relationships between Leonardo and the court as well as his servant. It may or may not be odd that a dwarf servant ended up being so close to a duchess (1), his servant Salai (1), every child plans to run and hide at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art! From the day they depart for NYC instead of going to school is the point in which this story gains speed and interest. Exactly how will they eat (1), This book is a fictional account of Leonardo da Vinci (1), just adds something to the story. The children are living in a museum and to see them with the art that is being described and discussed in the pages does add something to the text. (1), what your minds eye is seeing (1), but seeing on the page (1), you are constantly envisioning everything that is taking place in the plot (1), Claudia has almost everything figured out and she won't let you down as a main character for one minute! They few sketches scattered throughout the book add to it just a little bit. As a reader (1), sleep and blend in at the museum? Not to worry (1), he begins to worry more and more about his father's safety. This book does a great job in blending historical fiction with fantasy. (1), is shipped off to rural England while his mother works in a munitions factory and his father is fighting in France. His father was a toy maker and the soldiers he left Johnny (1), survival (1), anything that is historical fiction does require some background knowledge and pre-teaching (1), the dynamics of the the boys themselves are true and real to life. Someone is trying to be the leader (1), Mr. Brinley was a scientist so many of his descriptions and details are fairly accurate. Second (1), The Mad Scientists' Club by Bertrand Brinley is a winner for many reasons. First (1), but it is engaging. (1), so any child can begin to connect with a character. Snow Treasure is not a fast paced plot (1), so the students are more familiar with plot action and the real events that are woven into the story. Another item about Snow Treasure that I liked is that there are lots of male and female characters (1), Snow Treasure by Marie McSwigan is a great historical fiction piece to add to any school library. The first interesting thing about this book is that it begins with a "Did this story really happen?" right away it gets kids interested and thinking! Another (1), and there is always that kid that gets stuck with the bad job! The boys argue and fight a bit (1), I do get mixed reviews from my students; they either love it or hate it. I think the story of friendship and adversity overcome any weaknesses in the novel. It is descriptive with a well paced plot. (1), so I'm sure her experiences added to the realism in the novel. Dara and Jantu become friends in a refuge as their patchwork families struggle to survive with a constant hope of going home. The action and plot twists keep this story moving. However (1), making them more male or female books. The Clay Marble doesn't do this. The Clay Marble follows the adventures of two girls in a refuge camp on the Thai Cambodia border in the late 1970s. Minfong Ho worked at a camp (1), friendship and overcoming adversity. What is best about The Clay Marble is that one of the three main characters is a male. Many times books written for upper elementary/middle school age group don't have great characters that represent both sexes (1), is a great book about war (1), The Clay Marble by Minfong Ho (1), someone is trying to usurp power (1), but in the end...it is all for one and one for all. They are constantly trying to outsmart adults or play innocent pranks on people. What is also neat about this book is that it is divided into chapters that read like stand alone stories. You can set it d (1), so despite the difficulties in language and theme (1), and this book is light on factual historical details (1), well scripted dialogue (1), but this is definitely my favorite. Believable characters (1), Howie thinks his prinicipal is a spy. It is set in Brooklyn during WW2 and it is easy to imagine a boy running around Brooklyn trying to do his own investigation. I haven't read all of Avi's books (1), it is funny every time you turn the page. The descriptions of action are fabulous and it is easy to imagine each scene! At times this book is just laugh out loud funny! The premise of the plot is that the main character (1), is a story about a boy whose curiousity gets him into all kinds of trouble. But (1), which is fine. I don't think Avi meant for it to be that kind of book. What it is (1), Avi has a hit with Don't You Know There's a War On?I am partial to historical fiction (1), Old Bear by Jane Hissey is what I may call a new book (1), he looks for his trousers. The unique part of the story is that each animal who had possessed the trousers were using them for different purposes. I liked the creativity Hissey employed as each animal used the trousers. This book also has great detailed i (1), but I just like her word choice her. This tale is somewhat formulaic in that Little Bear seeks advice from Old Bear. Old Bear tells him where he saw the trousers last and that begins Little Bear's hunt...stuffed animal after stuffed animal (1), his trousers are missing! And I love that she chose to use the word trousers and not pants. It seems more dignified for a stuffed animal to wear trousers than pants. I don't know (1), Little Bear's Trousers by Jane HIssey is another wonderful book by this author. Little Bear awakes and immediately has a problem (1), yet soft toned pictures continue to engage the reader throughout the story. (1), but does send some subtle messages to children regarding what is right and wrong. What attracted me to this book was the cover and the warm (1), but one that feels like a classic. The story is about four stuffed animals that are trying to rescue Old Bear from the attic. The personification is very believable as the four problem solve and work through different ways to get to Old Bear in the attic. (1), it is always a middle school student favorite. (1), which does add a richness to the character. I have not met a child who didn't like this story (1), even to a reader that is unfamiliar with this era in history. If there is any negative aspect to this book (1), large print (1), but the theme in Wee Gillis is still very current. Wee Gillis is supposed to decide which culture group he will live with at the end of two years. The lowlanders to herd (1), illustrated by Robert Lawson is a classic story book. It is a story of being pulled between two cultures in Scotland; the highlanders and the lowlanders. To most this may look and feel like a 1930s story (1), Wee Gillis by Munro Leaf (1), Johnny (1), astounding (1), narrator (1), index (1), but its simplicity is what I find attractive and engaging. (1), Albert (1), Once again (1), stupendous (1), Beatrice (1), terrific (1), 1986 (1), racism (1), or the highlanders to hunt cattle. Their is a twist at the end of the story that makes it less predictable and interesting. The art is simple (1), Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey is 1940s classic children's story. The story starts with Sal and her mother heading out to pick blueberries to can for the winter. Today (1), but it is difficult for grades 4-8 to understand what he says. The Caribbean dialect provides an opportunity to bring into the classroom a discussion on language (1), by the thrill of really living (1), despite its positives is that Timothy speaks in Caribbean dialect. This does provide authenticity (1), reading level don't seem to be a good match here. I enjoy the coming of age theme and overcoming obstacles and disabilities that are throughout the book. Another issue I have with The Cay (1), might be difficult to discuss with the students this was written for. The interest level (1), The Cay by Theodore Taylor is a great adventure story for the upper elementary student. What bothers me about The Cay is the fact that one of the main themes of the book (1), is worth whatever consequences that may ensue if she is caught. This is definitely an engaging story with a fair amount of suspense. (1), the major theme (1), Venice and its people and what they do. There is a lot of risk in what Donata ends up doing (1), there are many children who may not know what canning is (1), both of which are not in her mother's definition of being a perfect lady. The story continues and picks up as Donata secretly escapes her palace to explore and learn about her city (1), " is a wonderful story. (1), but for the right age group and child I still think "Blueberries for Sal (1), a case of mistaken identities occurs as the 'children' get lost and follow the wrong 'adult'. The story is predictable on many levels (1), Mother Bear and Little Bear. Next (1), the story unfolds and reveals another mother/daughter pair out for blueberries (1), so this idea in the story might cause some confusion for younger children that don't know anything about canning. Next (1), and setting descriptions that are easy to imagine (1), it would be the fact that most students may not have the background knowledge regarding the homefront during WW2 to really get all the humor and understand the trials and tribulations people suffered in America during this time. (1), This is a great book for anyone who likes war stories. The main character (1), the grander the plan becomes (1), in regards to cleaning up the unused cluttered lot and putting it to good use. In another subtle way he is emphasizing being a good neighbor and helping out the community by cleaning up. The language in this book really enhances the illustrations. Text an (1), but he does mention conservation (1), with the words youngsters and oldsters. I could even see students playing Dr. Seuss Scrabble with this book! Dr. Seuss's theme my be subtle (1), and tremendous" are all synonyms and "Odd jobs" is an idiom. Grammar is introduced with the juggler. I also enjoyed his over application of language components in this case the suffix -ster (1), "Colossal (1), the more twisted the language becomes. This book would be a fun way to do a word study. For example (1), I liked how Dr. Seuss used language in this book. Dr. Seuss plays with words and patterns; the deeper he gets into the story (1), ' has a lot of potential teaching social behaviors. This book also has a fair amount of rhyme and repetition in it making it great for a beginner reader. Mini-lessons are an opportunity to teach something quickly and 'Sam and the Firefly (1), if not a circus and develop a nonsensical plan like Morris McGurk of their own. Next (1), I think it has great potential in the classroom. Students could imagine what they would want to run (1), " seemed different for a few reasons. First (1), "If I Ran the Circus (1), Dr. Seuss books can often be repetitive. However (1), one of Maximilian's travel mates add to the text. He was an accomplished artist and painted great landscapes as well as beautiful portraits of the natives in this area. Not a page goes by without a sketch or painting. This book would be a great classroom (1), 'An Indian Winter' was such a surprise; it is Lewis and Clark part two (1), 'Sam and the Firefly' is a great book that teaches lessons for a beginning reader about right and wrong. It could be used to teach elementary level students about bullying and harrassment. It could also be used to discuss decision making. In the end all i (1), ' could keep a teacher busy for a while. It isn't a simple book and could be very useful for grades 3-5. Younger children read it and re-tell it. Older children could read it (1), than printing it over a whole page. The illustrations are fabulous. Each page is a picture full of detailed images. The illustrations in this book could almost be stand alone they are that good. So in regards to that (1), but in a comic (1), yet very informative. At the end of the book there is an index that will help any reader glean as much as possible from the essays. (1), This book could be a great asset to a school library or used in a classroom setting as a classroom read. It carefully presents the current world problem of child labor abuse focusing on the rug industry in Central Asia. The book begins with a carefully wr (1), or something as small as a seed. (1), by sharing her love of flowers with the new friends and uncle in the city. A beautiful story in more ways than one. A great story with a great theme. Happiness can sometimes grow from almost nothing (1), but takes flower seeds with her to the city. She then turns a negative situation into a positive (1), whimsical style. The text is what is the most impressive. The author tells a story of a girl who has to leave her family during the depression to live with an uncle who can afford to support her. She is sad to leave (1), the picture part of the book is detailed (1), and learn it. (1), I thought this book was interestingly put together. First (1), if this book is taught correctly it would be a great connection to geography and economics. (1), I'm not sure the book's appearance and text fit the audience it was originally intended for. However (1), there is a fair amount of subject specific vocabulary that would be difficult for any English speaking child to read through and understand. Secondly (1), but the ones I noticed are important to consider before purchasing this book. First (1), only to be assassinated in his own village at the age of 12. The book does not over-dramatize the dire situation many children suffer in. The last few pages of the book include an enormous amount resources that could be used with it. This is a great bonus (1), The Carpet Boy's Gift is perfect for a current world issues inter-disciplinary social studies lesson. It addresses child labor in an American friendly 2nd world borderline 3rd world nation. The tale is told from the perspective of an abused child. The sto (1), this soft cover book has a larger audience; all the way down to the age where children are just beginning to narrate pictures to the main reader. This story also has a teaching component for small children in regards to forming routines and activities. Th (1), 'Bunny Day' is another wonderfully personified animal story. First (1), This is a absolutely delightful children's book. H.A. Rey definitely has a style (Curious George) that is visible in See the Circus. Since it is a flip book (1), I am giving this book a two (1), you'll like Teddy Tum Tum. He is telling a story of a great river adventure to the other toys in the room. The plot is cute and will definitely keep a young reader engaged in the story. Teddy is shipwrecked (1), This is another great story with personified stuffed animals. If you like teddy bears (1), which would make it easier for children to understand rhyme patterns. The illustrations are wonderful. Susan Wheeler is a master at personifying animal images in a Christmas theme! Terrific! This is a mini-version of an adult coffee table book for someone (1), ABABAB (1), but they aren't basic patterns (1), because it doesn't fit its package. It is a children's board book. But the language doesn't fit its design. What two or three year old can say and understand 'unfurled.' There are cute rhymes on every page (1), but the overall interest and intrigue of the story makes up for the shallow character development. (1), encounters one conflict after another. This is a great read aloud book (1), by a French author. It is a story about hiding Jewish children. The twist in this story which may be different from other stories like it is that children have to be clever and crafty in protecting the Jewish children and not the adults. In fact the clima (1), written in the 1952 (1), Twenty and Ten is a novella (1), makes a younger reader think and draw conclusions. A great read for a young person. (1), to create the rhyme. He also has added repetition at the end of the second quatrain on each page. This is a great feature of the text for a beginning reader. The circus theme of acts and animals is also always a hit with younger children. This book was en (1), in on page a child might recognize "the man with the yellow hat" in a cameo appearance. The text on each page is broken into two simple rhyming quatrains. H.A. Rey uses simple alliteration and assonance (1), I'll discuss the illustrations first. They are bright and engaging. They are simple and uncluttered. In fact (1), and from that moment on (1), because there are many opportunities to ask the question..."What do you think happens next?" or "What will Teddy Tum Tum do now?" The illustrations for this book are soft and realistic. They definitely enhance the text. There are some cute details in a fe (1), he will try and think of a new act. The personification of the animals in the circus is well done! Children can definitely relate to the circus theme and could probably try and help think of an act for Bearymore. This could be a great read aloud book. (1), like a human. The personification of the fox is rather cute. A happy ending (1), away from the main action of the illustrations. I think I like this format better (1), I'd like to focus on the simple rhyme that flows throughout the story. I think for small children the sound rhyme creates can keep them more engaged in a story. The text on each page was placed in a box (1), because the illustrations are not always in a regular order or pattern on the page. However (1), This is a true picture book. There is no text. This book could be used to illicit conversation or narration with a student or class. At times it may be hard to follow (1), I feel that technique accomplishes the intended goal. A great work for an emerging reader. (1), not a creature to be feared. Peter Spier's illustrations are critical to this story/song.
