I've been reading this book for a couple of months to my 3rd grader for our homeschool and if you ask him today what his favorite subject is, he'll quickly say history! I also recommend using the activity book and doing the extra recommended reading at least one day a week. A lot of the recommended reading books can easily be found at your public library. My other children used different books and text for history and they thought it was boring. This books blows them all away. Even my high schoolers will read a few sections to supplement their study of the same time period on occasion.

This amazing and irresistable book shows that maps are conceptual and visual organizers--and that they enable us to organize so much more than geographic space. Through the imagination of this remarkable young writer, we see how mapping can be used to teach young reader/writers the very concept of mapping--or of organizing ideas. Sara maps her favorite and dearest people and treasures--in the map of her heart. She maps her day, in thinking how we spend our time. She maps her stomach--what she loves to eat, and what's in there to please mom. These and other maps in the collection provide a wonderfully creative leaping off point for writing activities that involve mapping--activities even the youngest writers can handle. Everyone can map his/her face, desk, room, or day. Labels and written text can be used to enrich the writing, but they're not essential. It's easy to use and it's stimulating, too. This book should be in the classroom of every teacher K-5. Students LOVE it (so do adults), and the wealth of engaging writing activities it suggests makes it an excellent investment. How often do children get to see books written by other children? We can only hope Sara will write more! I recommend this book to every teacher and parent I talk or work with.

Customer Reviews

I can easily see why What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? is a Caldecott Honor Book. The cut-paper collage of animals is very artistic, and the way the book is written is very creative. A small portion of five animal parts (either noses, ears, tails, eyes, mouths, or feet) are shown, and you are to guess which animal the part belongs to and how it is used. Even if your children can easily figure out and memorize what they are looking at, I think they can have fun with this book for a long time. There is a good chance that some of the 30 animals in the book will be uncommon to you. Some of the animals found in Jenkins' and Page's book include the African elephant, striped skunk, blue-footed booby and giant anteater. In the back of the book you can find out more interesting facts about the animals. You and your kids will definitely gain from reading this book. I highly recommend it.

Who isn't a fan of Dr. Seuss? We aren't talking about the live-action movies but the books full of bizarre rhyming and rhythm.

The good doctor is in full swing with ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book.

Each letter begins with the same cadence: "Big A, little a, what begins with a?" followed by some goofy wordsmithing: "Aunt Annie's Alligator".

My son enjoys looking at the pictures and hearing me go through the cadence.

My older niece, however, got into the recitation and knew what was coming next so that by the time I was on G, she said with me, "Big G, little g, what begins with g?"

Your kids will enjoy the colorful pictures of the Seussian creatures and giggle at things like the "fiffer feffer feff".

Dr. Seuss all the way for my boy!

I first saw the Travel Book in a secured Alzheimer's care unit and noted that the patients loved turning the pages and viewing the beautiful pictures. Some of them had traveled extensively and the book triggered memories and spawned conversation. I purchased one for my mother, who lives in assisted living because of her severe memory loss. She loves it! We talk on the phone for hours as she turns the pages and asks me to look up more information on my "machine" (computer). At 85, she is still fascinated by other cultures and "in the moment" asks great questions and appreciates "learning".

I originally was skeptical about reading this series because I heard that it was a mixture of fantasy and science fiction, and those aren't my favorite genres. However,when my sister brought it back from the library I decided to try it. I literally couldn't put it down! The story was well written, it was very funny, and it was much better than the average dime-a-dozen fantasy or science fiction novel. I haven't yet read the first two but I will shortly hopefully, along with the later ones too, of course! I wholeheartedly give this book five stars. My only regret is that I didn't read Artemis Fowl and The Arctic Incident first.

My daughter adores Dora, so getting a little "explorer" help for potty training was a great idea for us. Although my daughter had trouble pressing the button on her own, she loved having me help her make the flushing sound. This book also worked well for us because we did use a potty seat that fit directly onto the toilet (my daughter is tall for her age). It took my daughter a little longer to perfect potty training than it did Dora, but this book was definitely a fun way to help her on her way. Now my girl is well on her way to being a big girl explorer too!
