This book is one of my children's favorites. I have read it so many times I could quote it by heart. The pictures by Jose Aruego are funny, colorful and full of whimsey. Highly recommended for children of all ages.

Lizard's Song is the story of a lizard who teaches his friend Bear his favorite song ("Zoli, zoli, zoli...Rock is my Home"), only to discover that Bear keeps on forgetting it. Ultimately , Lizard realizes that the problem lies in the song, which is about Lizard's home. When he makes the song about Bear's home(..Cave is my home")Bear never forgets the song again. Share this story with anyone, but especially share it with homesick preschoolesrs, and remember to ask them at the end what they live in, and make a song for each of them never to forget.

Great little book with cute music. Our daughter loves this book.

As I look back, this book is one of my fondest memories. I remember having it read to me as child, knowing the words by heart, the beautiful pictures drawing me into the world of the story. I can still see those pictures in my mind and they bring a smile to my face even now all these many years later. If you can find it for your child either used or in a library, get it. It will be a favorite, guaranteed.

When my children were little, this book was a favorite. Now that they are 21 and 18, Owliver is one of the books about which we reminisce. We have vivid memories of this book and the character of Owliver. It was the sweetest form of "interactive" - your fingers became his arms as he acted several different roles. What fun! I am very sad to hear that this book is out of print. If you find a copy of it, you've found a real treasure. I know that I'll be searching for a copy.

Pork and Beans: Play Date by Jovial Bob Stine is a hilariously funny book about siblings and their friends when and how they play together. My boys and I would get this book from out local library every chance we got. It made us all laugh so much when I read it to my very active and sometimes argumentative boys. It would make us laugh because it reminded us so much of our family. The mom in the book would remind me of me, especially on many occasions when my boys would argue while playing and I would say, "Play something else!" just like the mom in the book. If this book is no longer available that's quite a shame but I'm sure many libraries still have it. Get it, read it, and get ready for a real treat of a story. Barbara Chang

This ia an excellent book for young children. It has bright and active pictures to keep them captivated, and has a charming and meaningful story. Each pig gets what they deserve, the selfish pig learns her lesson, and all live cooperatively ever after.

Safe, Warm, and Snug has beautiful illustrations which are conducive to drawing with your students. The information given is factual and science related, but they are presented in a fun way, that is, through rhythm and rhyme. There are several themes to explore, such as, camouflage, anti-stereo types in the animal kingdom, and adaptation. I guarantee this is a book you will enjoy as much as your students.

Did you know that the cattle egret can ride on the back of a rhino to warn it of stalking predators? Or that a particular red ant supplies food to a caterpillar in exchange for its honeydew that they, in turn, eat? I never did either, till I read through this cute, educational book by Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey.

Friendship is a common theme among children, so playing up the camaraderie of certain members of the animal kingdom with strike a familiar chord with young readers. The down-to-earth language and charming illustrations perfectly bring together education and entertainment.

There are fourteen descriptive pairs of animals in this book, all with full-page illustrations, and a handy pronunciation key for sounding out some of the trickier names. Just because it's informational, don't think you can't sit down and read this to your little one at a whim. When read from cover to cover it makes a great little story with lots of room for discussion. This would also make a great addition to any school library or classroom.

This is a book that my mom used to read to me & now reads to my little brothers. It's a children's classic for every parent, grandparent, or even older sibling to read to young children.
