4-0 out of 5 stars Some unnecessarily graphic pics
I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 because of the graphic drawings of a girl inserting a tampon.What young girl needs to see this at 9 or 10?I personally feel that they should use pads until they get the hang of menstruation anyway, then they can buy a box of tampons and read the instructions inside.There is no need to shock them with such graphic pics.The book is wonderful otherwise.I wish I could just remove those pages, but they encompass the whole menstruation topic, so it would really disrupt the book.

3-0 out of 5 stars Care and Keeping of You
I've got to say, this book has some great information about keeping clean and eating healthy, however, I strongly recomend this book for girls under the age of 11. The period information in this book doesn't really help, and with half my friends, (including me) already have gotten their period by age 11 and 12, this book gives you almost no information. The other stuff is common sense. We know how to brush our teeth and brush our hair! Unless you're 9 or 10 (maybe 11?) don't bother with this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very impressed.
My 9 year old daughter & I read this together last week.It is a fabulous book for the "tween" years.It gives detailed information about puberty and caring for your body(how to measure for a bra, insert a tampon, hair care, body changes, etc.) but doesn't get into discussing sex.Though we've talked about sex, I'm glad she has a "reference" book about her body that tells her what she needs to know at this young age.I was so impressed with this book, that I have recommended it to many of my friends with 9-10 year old daughters.The entire section on body image is excellent.They discuss anorexia and bulimia in a factual manner, stressing to girls that these aren't healthy choices.I didn't realize that my daughter had heard of these terms until we read this together.I wasn't sure it was the right time to get into this, but I was wrong.This book is fabulous for starting or extending conversations about the body & puberty. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars It's Perfectly Normal
Well what *IS* normal anyway?If normal to you is giving your child a book with lots of comic style nudity, directions for masterbating, exactly HOW to have sex (etc.) then you might want to grab this and run!If your child is average to above average intellectually he or she will have a full understanding of how to pleasure him or herself and how to perform the deed by the time they are finished.Of course there are warnings of pregancy, sickness (STD'S), and death (AIDS) if they are to do this while unprotected, so no worries there.You'd have to see the book to believe it.I was shocked when I started looking through it, and was doubling over with laughter that I had actually considered giving this to my 10 year old son.Actually, I did hand it to him in the car before I actually looked at it and he was shocked by the second page, gave it back and said "I think this is WAY too old for me Mama", and it turned out he was right!I'll never hand him something like that again without looking first.

1-0 out of 5 stars Not age appropriate.Shocking.
I purchased this for my 11 year old son.I am so thankful that I read this book before giving it to him or going straight to discussing it.The pictures are hand drawn but graphic.Far too much detail for the target audience. Kids need to know about sexuality but they don't need to know EVERYTHING before they are even teen-agers.I would be upset to find this in a school library.This book definitely needs to be used with supervision. I returned this book as I believe its content is inappropriate for the cover advertised age of 10 years old.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Books on the Subject
This is one of the best books on the subject of sexuality for children. Presented in plain talk with nicely drawn illustrations, it's neither too graphic nor too cartoonish for the 10-12 year old set. It covers a lot of topics they need/want to know about, and it's handled very tactfully.

I bought this on a whim because my children love dinosaurs right now (just like all kids I guess).It's become a bedtime favorite of theirs.
5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Dinosaur Lovers.
My son loves these books.He laughs and giggles the whole way through.The fact that she puts all the names of the dinosaurs hidden in the pictures for the parents to see is great.It gives me an answer for the inevitable "what kind is that one, mom?"
4-0 out of 5 stars Great book!
I was worried these board books wouldn't be as good as the large hard cover Dinosaur books, but they are just as charming. The illustrations are great. They are about half as long though. My 3 1/2 yr old loves all the Yolen dinosaur books. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars What a Help!
While my child is too young to read this book on his own, I know it will be helpful for him in the future. As a parent of a child with sensory issues, I found that it helped enhance my understanding of his issues immensely (e.g, what HE is experiencing on a daily basis and how it might make him feel). The more insight and understanding a parent has on these issues, the better you can help your child. I highly recommend purchasing it.

5-0 out of 5 stars A fun book for kids with SID and extended family members...
We really enjoy this book.It helps our daughter understand what is going on with her senses, and why we need to do heavy work acivities and other parts of her sensory diet.It is also the book we have shown her grandparents because it touches on a lot of definitions related to sensory integration, and gives examples of characters with the traits.I highly recommend you buy this for your child with SID and people who spend a lot of time with your child.

4-0 out of 5 stars The Goodenoughs Get in Sync Review by Lisa Angel
The Goodenoughs Get in Sync by Carol Stock Kranowitz was a great book to read because it so helpful in the classroom.Many times we think that a child is just being mean or annoying when in reality it is a sensory disorder and the child can not help it.I felt the definitions provided to certain words such as sensory under-responsivity, auditory defensiveness and visual defensiveness, to name a few, were extremely enlightning. My son has a friend who has a sensory disorder.I didn't know about the disorder until he came over to spend the night.When it came time to go up the stairs to my son's bedroom he began to freak out.Of course, I called his mom and she explained everything to me and I began to understand.This is a wonderful book to recommend to her.I also enjoyed reading about each family member and how the sensory disorders varied so much.However, each had their own issues to deal with, they really stuck together as a family and supported one another.Even the dog had sensory issues.I would really recommend this book to teachers so that they have better sense of some of the behaviors that go on in the classroom. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Cute way to start the day!
This is the second of three books I read to my infant son each morning as part of his waking routine.(Another Boynton favorite, "Snuggle Puppy," is the first book I read.)It's such a precious way to start the day by watching his eyes light up and his grin grow wider as we read through these sweet books.I especially enjoy the cute placements of "ew" in the rhyme.

2-0 out of 5 stars "EW"'
A little disappointing after reading Barnyard Dance, but a good rhythm none the less. I don't like the "ew" in reference to broccoli stew. I guess I'm for encouraging kids to eat their vegetables. Also, the small animals tell large animals to go do big guy things because they're too large. I don't like the implication there either (no, I'm not large).

Editorial Review

Fourteen-year-old Shawn McDaniel loves the taste of smoked oysters andhis mother's gentle hugs. Unfortunately, it's impossible for Shawn to feedhimself or to hug his mom back. Shawn has cerebral palsy, a condition he has hadsince birth that has robbed him of all muscle control. He can't walk, talk, oreven focus his eyes on his own. But despite all these handicaps, despite thefrustration of not being able to communicate, Shawn is still happy to be alive: "Somehow all the things I think about and remember turn to joy... favoritemovies... pinecones... chocolate pudding... the scent of Comet in a stainlesssteel sink.... Life can be great, even for me. Even for me." That is why hepanics when he begins to suspect that his father is thinking of killing him.Shawn knows that his father is trying to be kind; he imagines that his son'slife is an endless torment. His dad has no idea of the rich life that Shawnlives inside his head. And Shawn, helpless and mute, has no way of tellinghim.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Stuck In Nuetral
Stuck In Neutral is a must read for anyone in any age group. The story is about a boy named Shawn who is 14-years old. Shawn was born with Cerebral Palsy. His dad, Sydney E. McDaniel, left him when he was just a baby. Sidney E. McDaniel wrote a poem about his son a while after he left.He then won a Pulitzer Prize and got really famous. In the beginning of the book Shawn stated that because his dad didn't like that his son has a disorder, that he was going to "end his pain."
3-0 out of 5 stars Not so great
I woudn't recommend this book to anyone because it gets a little redundent.The story is about a boy wh was born with a busted blood vessel in his brain that affected his abiliy to move a single muscle,which takes a real toll on his family.They live in a small tow in seattle,with practicly no father because he is to busy on TV shows and adio shows because of his poetry about his son.So his dad can't take it anymore and he decides to end the boys suffering by killing him.The story is told in the boys eyes and we soon realize that the boy is not really suffering but he cant tell his dad that because of his problem with his brain.And we are the only people who get to see this side,the only peple who get to hear him speak.Read the book to ind out the ending.

5-0 out of 5 stars Fabulous introduction to "Birds and Bees"
I purchased this book after sitting cross-legged on the floor at a major bookstore with a whole slew of books on the subject.I picked this one for a number of reasons including the fact that it discusses different types of families -- this was a huge issue to me because my daughter was adopted as an "older child".
3-0 out of 5 stars A Book with an AGENDA
Well, it is an okay book, if you tear out pages 31 & 32 (which explain and illustrate homosexual relationships). These two pages are completely inappropriate and unnecessary. Also, be forewarned that on page 42, the writer states that abortion is just a "medical way to end a pregnancy".She makes it sound like a safe, natural and healthy alternative to family planning. It is so obvious that the writer is pushing her liberal "agenda" on our innocent children.What a shame. If you do not share her personal views, stay away from this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE WORDS ...................
Oh My Gosh.I LOVE THIS BOOK.MY SON.........LOVES THIS BOOK.I thought it would be a good ice breaker to open communication about sex. Although I have started talking to him about sex, it was still an uncomfortable topic for the both of us.Trying to master the clinical side of things as well as the human /real side of things.Not giving too much at a time but trying to make sure he gets what he needs.It is a stressful balance.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best book on potty training.
This book and "My Big Boy Potty" are the best books I could find on potty training.Realistic situations addressed.
3-0 out of 5 stars Not the Best Book Out There
Many of this book's positive qualities have been discussed already, but I will mention my favorites again: I like the simple pictures (which we all know will hold a toddler's attention better than more detailed drawings), the fact that the child in the book could be either a boy or a girl, the sidebars with answers to questions that undoubtedly will pop up ("Where does poo-poo come out?" "Why won't my poo-poo come out?"), the "tips for parents" on potty-training, and the fact that the child in the book is not punished for having an accident and not making it to the potty in time.And I love the fact that the potty in this book looks like a modern training potty, rather than a lemonade pitcher!This is a very loving book with two very loving parents and happy-looking older siblings.

5-0 out of 5 stars Who says this book is for little kids?
We found this book at the library and it quickly became a family favorite. Key word here is family. My 13 year old son heard me reading it to his 3 year old sister and 6 year old brother. My 13 year old thought is was great. In fact, he loved it so much that when his 15 year old sister came home from volleyball practice, he read it OUT LOUD to her! Basically, my older kids love reading this book to the younger ones. The book is funny and clever and appeals to "kids" of all ages.

4-0 out of 5 stars Clever book with a great twist on eating.
Cute little story about a pea who has to suffer through the same dinner every night, candy, to finally get his well deserved dessert-yummy spinach!Happy colorful illlustrations expressing the many emotions of the little pea and his family.Great twist about eating your veggies.This story concludes with, "And they lived hap-pea-ly ever after."

5-0 out of 5 stars BEST BOOK EVER!
This is the best book ever written for kids! My four year old son received this book as a gift and has been attached to it ever since. We read this book every single night, without fail, and it is even the perfect length before bed when he is tired. He is now able to recite the entire book throughout the day. This book as encouraged my son to have a love of books and reading. A must have! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great young adult book
Code Orange kept the attention of my 12 year old daughter who really doesn't like to read.It was on a list of approved books at her school for summer reading, so I was reassured that it would be appropriate for her age.I would recommend it to others of this age group.

4-0 out of 5 stars Code Orange
Code Orange took a long time for me to get a hold of and it was pretty much worth the wait. I found that this book was very exciting and I enjoyed it very much.
4-0 out of 5 stars All About Orange Code.
This book takes place in New York City in present time. Mitty is a 15-year-old boy who thinks that life would be so much easier without school. The only reason that he makes himself go is Olivia. Mitty takes advanced biology, and he's not really sure why. His class is assigned to research a infectious disease using books as their textural references. If he does not make a good grade on this test, he'll go back down to regular biology. Mitty would be fine with that, but it would mean not being in Olivia's class. So he decides to do the project. He chooses Variola Major, commonly called smallpox. While researching, Mitty comes upon a envelope stuck in between the pages of a disease book. When he opens it he finds several, what he believes were once smallpox scabs from a 1920 epidemic. As Mitty is writing his paper, he describes what smallpox does to your body. I recommend not reading these parts on a stop-and-go bus ride on the way to school, it only makes it worse. At the end of the chapters, the author tries to scare you by implying that the scabs had gone into his nose, and were affecting Mitty. He himself can not decide if he actually has this disease which he and the rest of the world thought no longer existed, or if he is simply imagining it.

I am a prekindergarten teacher. This book is a favorite of all of my students both boys and girls.The story has an important moral that all children can learn from.The moral is to be yourself and that you do not need to copy others.Stephanie not only does her own thing but stands up for herself.This story gives children the courage to stand up for themselves and to be an individual.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book for little Stephanies
I bought this book, simply because of the title, for my daughter Stephanie when she was about four.To my delight, it was great and has become a favorite of ours.Stephanie is feisty, noncomformist, and creative, qualities I try to foster in my own Stephanie.The twist at the end is hilarious, and the illustrations make me grin every time!

5-0 out of 5 stars One of those books you should read earlyon & often!
Wow, what an awesome book & main character!!!!

4-0 out of 5 stars Really nice story
I bought this book to give to one of my kids as a reward for doing a great job on report card!I haven't given it to my daughter just yet but I have read the book and thought it was really great.A nice book for children in the ages of 6ish to 8ish.

5-0 out of 5 stars My favorite McCloskey book
The artwork is great. The story, while long and a bit dated, has broad appeal. Even if today's kids cannot relate to a "back to nature" scenario they will surely become more engaged the next time you take them to the beach or on a boat and they will be excited to lose their teeth.
5-0 out of 5 stars Precious Story
Beautiful story that incorporates the great childhood milestone of losing a first tooth with a special day with Dad.We just love it! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Doctor De Soto is a well-respected mouse-dentist who runs a successful practice with his wife (and able assistant) Mrs. De Soto. The De Sotos are friendly and professional toward all their patients, from chipmunks to donkeys to cows, the exception being "cats and other dangerous animals," as stated clearly on the sign outside the office. But the De Sotos are tender-hearted rodents, so when a miserable fox shows up begging for treatment, they agree to have a look (perhaps against their better judgment). As it turns out, this fox, with "a rotten bicuspid and unusually bad breath," manages to behave himself while tiny Doctor De Soto is standing mid-molar inside his gaping jaws. When the wily fox returns the next day to get his replacement gold tooth, however, he has mouse-flavored snacks on his mind. Luckily, Doctor De Soto and his wife have anticipated such despicable canine intentions, and find a way to outfox the ungrateful fox. Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Doctor DeSoto book
You can call me StoryMaker. "Doctor DeSoto" is not my favorite book, and I especially don't like the end. I like how they are animal people, but are the size they are supposed to be. What I mean is, they are animals that talk, walk on 2 legs, and live in their own house, but unlike most people animals, they are the size they are in real life. It would probably be a book a young child would adore (probably most children ages 3-5) but I don't fall into the "Dr. DeSoto lovers" category or the "children ages 3-5" category. This book is where a mouse named Dr. DeSoto (a dentist) finds out a fox is seeking dental care. Dr. DeSoto never let an animal that might eat him come in before (that's where them being the size they are in real life is important), but the fox really wants that dental care so Dr. DeSoto's wife lets him in. The part I hate the most is the end when Dr. DeSoto gives the fox his so-called special treatment so he won't eat them. That so-called special treatment causes the fox to not be able to eat anything, even if it isn't a DeSoto family member at all. He could DIE if it dosen't ware off! I actually don't have a lot of complaints, but this book is not very exciting. Overall, perhaps you may like it, but if you like foxes, this book will not please you. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

5-0 out of 5 stars Funny, critical thinking perspective
Consider things from the point of view of the dentist and his patient . . . you'll be laughing out loud while reading this to your kids.

5-0 out of 5 stars An entertaining story
Dr. Desoto is a humorous well illustrated story of a mouse dentist and how he solved a problem in an unexpected way. I have read this book to several children 5-8 yr. age range and they all loved it and wanted to borrow it. Parents will appreciate Dr, Desoto's desire to maintain his professional integrity. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Hilarious
I got this book for me, not the kids.It's adorably funny.And the illustrations are wonderful.It will go in my own collection of best-loved children's books.

4-0 out of 5 stars Who Can Resist a charming wombat?
The illustrations for this book are eye catching right away, the wombat is super cute and cuddly looking as he rolls across the pages.As the title would indicate this is told from the Wombat's point of view, each turn of the page is a new day in his diary.As he learns how to train the humans who have decided to become his new neighbors.This is probably a great book to read aloud to younger children as one could really get into the wombat's character.Its very humorous and with a few words the story is great.Plus it introduces a new sort of animal to children's books, afterall whats a boring old bunny or bear to a wombat?

5-0 out of 5 stars "I'm a wombat.I live in Australia.As you can see from my picture, I look like a little bear, only smaller..."
This is the funniest book of the decade.I laughed out loud so hard during the 10 minutes it took to read it that my husband was curious enough to listen to me read it the next night.Author Jackie French must hold a record for the most laughs in the fewest amount of words.Her wombat is charmingly innocent, a creature who trains humans to feed him on demand.This short book has gorgeous illustrations and humorously understated narration.

5-0 out of 5 stars Keeping it simple
How do you go about explaining something to your children that you have difficulty understanding yourself? Well Barklay and Eve make the process easier. This wonderful book describes the most complicated procedures in simple terms without talking down to children. I found the illustrations and story content charming and informative. Children will find the common hair loss of cancer a much less frightening process when they see the fun that Eve has with a wig. While dealing with cancer can't be made easier, Barklay and Eve can make explaining it easier. ... Read more

My nephew loves these books, I got him this book first around age 2 and luckily just in time, he wouldn't take his medicine and his Mom referenced "taking it like the dinosaurs" and he was all over it. He's got the whole set now and knows more dinosaurs names than I ever knew existed and corrects me if I pronounce them wrong. Smart kid, great author, and illustrator. You will love these dinosaurs, get it.
