| Ben and Me: An Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin by His Good Mouse Amos This was the book that started my youthful enjoyment of both history and becoming an avid reader. The tail of Ben Franklin's mouse, Amos, who gives him all the help he needs in inventing his now famous inventions and the founding of our nation is a timeless story. A fine start to give any child who shows an inkling of interest in history, or one whom you would wish be encouraged to do so.

| We in the West often cannot believe,or rufuse to believe what it must have been like to live behind 'The Iron Curtain'.Surely we are told,those tales of repression are merely 'Mc Carthyite propaganda' and 'cold war nonsense'.For some strange reason the idea of a socio political system that murdered more than one hundred million of it's own people while enslaving over a billion more is just too much to face.Leave it to a 'mere childrens book' to show us a slice of life behind the iron curtain.Peter Sis's book ...

| For so many groups of people who never got a chance to see themselves in history textbooks, Zinn's A Young People's History is a gem. Far from being "leftist" or "radical," his book tells this nation that it is ok to confront the less-than-humane paths America has taken on its quest for world recognition. |

| Who says that children's books have to be all about fighting and lots of action? With "Dragon of the Red Dawn" Mary Pope Osborne showed once more that the escape into a world of imagination can be fun, captivating and keep children occupied for more than an hour. Listening to this audio book makes the kids travel into yet another time and country.
A wonderful book, read by the author, and another beautiful adventure with Jack and Annie. |

| The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know EverythingRave reviews for this book! As a positive psychologist and a school psychologist for over 25 years, I know too well how girls can suffer and feel alone and misunderstood during early crushes. In fact, I consider this issue so important, that it is one of my major themes that the girl in my new book for girls, The Truth, I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything, has to deal with. She expresses her deepest feeling to her diary but her own mother and her best friend don't really ... Read More: |

| Another fine Newbery-winning historical novel. This one is actually a fictionalized biography of Nathaniel Bowditch, innovative navigator and author of The American Practical Navigator, apparently still a standard book on navy vessels. Latham's fast-paced book takes the reader from Bowditch's toddler days in Salem through a long apprenticeship to a chandlery, then through a varied sailing career and two marriages. Along the way his perseverance and hard work are emphasized, as he studies hard and manages to learn several languages and other practical ... Read More: |
