Childrens Days Books

Mrs. Rogers is throwing a party on Valentine's Day, and, of course, Amelia Bedelia is offering her always well-meaning assistance with the project.

When the all-important invitation list is gone, Amelia comes up with her own system to put everything back together again, with the kind of results that her fans have come to expect!

Be My Valentine, Amelia Bedelia is one sweet Valentine gift for young readers that will teach them about word play and encourage more reading. The illustrations beautifully underscore the action of the story.

Beach Day and all of the Mercer Mayer books have great story lines and are delightful reading for both children and adults. They teach children positive ways to deal with many differant issues. We have enjoyed them all.

I use this book in the classroom (1st grade) as an inspiration for beginning writers. Most kids have a personal connection to the text and can write their own version pretty easily. The text is minimal and the illustrations are great.

I'M A FAMILY MEMBER OF THE PRICE DAIRY FARM MENTIONED IN THE BOOK. THE PICTURES AND ILLUSTRATIONS ARE OF OUR FARM. IT'S A VERY GOOD BOOK TO READ TO KIDS. THE AUTHOR DID A GREAT JOB.

I love these stories. Not only are they fun, but every story includes educational detail about the location that Bear & Katie are visiting. My daughter absolutely loves these books!

Simply looking at this cover and allowing its color and vivid animal-cartoon emotion will tell you much of the "story" of this book, it's pure gloriousness comes from the combination of humor in the poetic words from Karma Wilson or the sweet-amusing illustrations from Suzanne Watts and the fun-thoughts gleaned from the words and illustrations.

My 7 year old read this to my 3 year old and I listened in.

I am not sure who got the most out of it - we were all engaged for our own reasons. The frog (a croak-in heart... I couldn't help but start singing in a country twang with that one) the cat's meow "The one I love the most? Me, myself and I", "sealed" with a kiss - now think of two seals kissing....

Just how wide is your smile right now? That's exactly why you need this book, to get it even wider and to evoke that laughter wanting to spring up from your belly

My 3 and 5 year-old rate this their favorite book. There is learning, exercize, and repetition. It takes about 20 minutes to read, and the time is worth it. They look forward to getting their "silly's" out before dinner.

I have had this book for 2 years. My aunt, a kindergarten teacher, bought it for us. I was actually looking for a follow-up book to buy.

Rosie's grandmother has a new job, and Rosie is invited to spend the day with her at work. Although Rosie is skeptical that going to work with Grandma will be as fun as some of the other activities she has envisioned, the day turns out to be a rewarding and pleasant experience. Grandma works as a hair stylist at a full-service salon, and no drama or problem is too big for Grandma to handle. A fussy customer who cannot get comfortable, a wig that must be styled by the end of the day, a hair color treatment that went horribly wrong, and a missing boy; Grandma manages it all with aplomb. Along the way Rosie (and the reader) can participate in some of the color, scent, and style decisions that the salon customers make.

Not only does this book deliver an enjoyable story, it also provides young readers with some important lessons in economics related to jobs, human resources, and the provision of services. The book stands out for featuring an employed grandmother who skillfully works in her trade while introducing her granddaughter to the excitement of the workplace. Just as beauty runs deeper than the skin, the substantive content in Beauty Day goes far beyond the colorful pages.

The text consists of verbs in the present participle.

That's an easy pattern for students of English as a second language to understand. Furthermore, it is welcome help on a difficult topic: verbs.

Love these books....they were my favourite when I was younger and they've become my kids' favourite!
