This historical book was an excellent source of information, not only about Jose Clemente Orozco, the artist, but about 20th century Mexico and it's history. The illustrations are good and done in black and white. I would recommend this book for students from the 7th grade up, as well as teachers and parents.

This book is very well written and descriptive. It tells about the struggles of Show Business in New York City. I'm a big fan of the theatre, so I couldn't put it down! It also tells about a lasting friendship through thick and thin. I recommend this book to teens who like reading about friedships and life in NYC!

This is one of the best books for young people I have ever read. It's very inspirational and motivating. You can change your community - or the world! This book empowers young people to dream and act.

Rhythmic text and amusing illustrations make this children's story a delight. It increases the young listener's interaction by being predictable and by repeating successive lines. The message is clear that a mother will love her child no matter what it's appearance. "Purple hair? I don't care! I'll love my little baby anyway." Buy this book to share with your 3-6 year old and find out why Mrs. Ragon's baby may have purple hair (and skin of green!)

This book is an excellent resource. From it, you will discover books that, if read by your teenager (or yourself) will build character and relationship. The second half of the book is where the treasure is. Get it.

This is one of my most treasured books. Anyone that is passionate about art and horses will thoroughly enjoy having this book in their library. The artwork is predominantly watercolour sketches accompanied with the writings of a young Englishwoman. I highly recommend this book; buy it and enjoy it, over and over again.

Very entertaining and captivating for the young audience

The experience of having a parent die is horrid. Everyone knows that, but in this book you live through it with Gillian. Her mother was the light of her world until she found out that she had AIDS. The first reaction to the shock, trying every traditional medication she can get her hands on, brings the two on a frenzied search. Gillian's grandmother has always held the strength of the family, and she sends Gillian away to her dead father's relatives. The adjustment from a world in the city of West Indian women, to a "ghost white" family in Tennesee is not easy for Gillian, and as her mother becomes weaker each day, they aren't on good terms.

The heart-breaking parts of this novel express the pain of watching someone die of AIDS in a way that is rare in children's and young adult literature. The first person telling from a woman outside the family makes it easier to take in the events.

This book offers wonderful ideas on every theme imaginable. It suggests books, art ideas, cooking ideas, and much more for each theme. It is easy to use and well organized for picking topics. I would highly reccomend this book for anyone who works in a preschool setting.
