Best Houseplant Book I Have Found

This book is essential for the at-home gardener. It catalogs techniques for transforming household herbs & fruit and veggie seeds into beautiful houseplants. Although I have yet to germinate the elusive avocado pit, I have a much brighter kitchen because of this book.

Keeping Children on the Right Track

The book is a great way to get children involved in their reading. The questions in the book encourage reflection and help children make predictions about what they are reading. The concepts can be applied to anywhere in nature, and are appropriate for all children no matter where they live. The book gives important facts and information, but also allows children to become "detectives" and take an active role in the book. It is great for science discovery with young children!

Greg's Microscope is for boys, not girls

This is a nice easy reader about a child with a home microscope. Observation of common objects is presented with a good discovery approach, but Greg's family is depicted in a (very 1960s) sexist manner that diminishes its usefulness.

Greg's Microscope

This is a wonderful book for any budding scientist. It is the story of friends using Greg's new microscope to look up close and personal at everyday objects found around the house. The book contains illustrations of items they observe under the microscope...like sugar. It would be a great book to go along with a new microscope.

LAST CALL.... FOR FLIGHT 21

Chicks don't fly at 21 days....they hatch! This is a very good book for the study of the life cycle of chickens. We used this to help our children (and us) to know what in the world was going on in those eggs.We have incubated and let the hens sit on the eggs. My advice: let the mommas do it. CAREFUL ! Roosters are lurking in this book ! You know what that means? Your children will if your not careful !Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I know, do you ? I JUST LOVE THE PICTURES OF THE GROWING CHICK IN THE EGG. SEE YA' AT THE HEN HOUSE.

pretty bad

Luckily I did not purchase this book - I only checked it out from the library. The story is about a group of children who try to figure out what kind of bug layed the golden eggs. They think they find out, then they are wrong again and again. This book is too wordy for a new reader. My daughter, 7 did not enjoy reading this book at all.
