It's great
Addy is so great.It is a 6 serie book set and it is really great.Addy is a amegenary girl who lives right after the civil war.It is filled with amotions.It uses no bad words at all.It is the best for kids ages 10-12
My 7 year old loves this book
This story is set in 1864 during the Civil War.The book prompted discussions about race, slavery, the Civil War and life during that time, prejudice behavior, the privledges we take for granted and inner strength.We first read about slavery in Kaya, which my daughter also loved.My daughter talks about the characters (Addy, Kaya, Samantha and others) as though they are part of our extended family.She has set a goal to read all of the American Girl books and is well on her way there.
Best American Girl!
I really liked this book out of all of the American Girls books. Addy is my favorite. I haven't read this book since I was about in the second grade, I'm in seventh grade now. I really need to get the whole Addy set. I recommend Addy for everyone! ... Read more

Toliver's Secret
This book is about a ten year old girl who has to send a secret message baked in bread to her grandfather's friend during the Revolutionary War. She has never seen him before, and he is in a town she has never been to before. She has to do it for her grandfather because he hurt his foot. It sounded easy at first. She has to dress up as a boy and sail with a fisherman across a bay and go to Mr. Shannon and give him the bread, then come home. But on the way she gets into many troubles.

Well done for children's fiction
I admire the author for taking such a catastrophic story and telling it in a way that children can understand and learn from.I consider myself a collector on all things "Quake '06" and this is one of my prize possessions.I highly recommend it.If you're looking for a DVD that tells the non-fiction version of the quake and fire, I'd recommend "Disaster by the Bay" also here on amazon, easily the best documentary on the subject.

Son Loved This Book!
I bought this book for my 9-year-old son, and he thought it was "awesome."He said it was one of the best books he has ever read.It truly prepared him to understand a disaster of an enormous magnitude; after he read Quake, the Pakistan earthquake hit and he understand the devastation and fear that people were experiencing.That, to me, is what the best books for kids do.They open up the world and teach them what they could not learn for themselves (such as experiencing an earthquake).Learning and loving to read at the same time - what a great combination.
COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!
I live near San Francisco and have read all the adult books about the devastating San Francisco earthquake of 1906.WOW! HOW FRIGHTENING THAT WAS.

SHH, Here Lies the Librarian
It's 1914 in Hendricks County, Indiana, and Jake and PeeWee McGrath run a garage for those newfangled automobiles. PeeWee, aka Eleanor, doesn't plan to go to high school. She will stay with her older brother and help run the garage, only her brother is a better mechanic. Then four sorority sisters from Butler University in Indianapolis arrive and plan to reopen the town library. Excitement abounds with a rival garage attempting to destroy the McGrath's business and an automobile race that makes NASCAR look like a Sunday drive. If you enjoyed Peck's The Teacher's Funeral, you will love this one. The relationship between Jake and Eleanor is strong and loving. This is a nostalgic and humorous look at the early 20th century.

Okay read
I looked for this book specifically for a library science assignment, and was excited about reading it.I really wanted to enjoy and like it!However, once I got into it, I found it disjointed with no visible plot.The setting, the early 1900's, is one I'm not sure children will understand.The language often seemed contrived and difficult, with a lot of dialect, and I often had to go back and re-read sections in order to understand what had happened.I wonder if the age group it is intended for will take the time to go back, or put it down for a more comfortable read.Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this book to my students.Even though there were a few humorous moments, they were few and far between.As my students are fond of saying, "I just don't get it!"

Wherein chauffeurs collect library fines
Do you ever get the impression that an author is trying just a little too hard to get the attention of their librarian readers?I don't think this happens much in the world of adult literature, but when it comes to kiddie lit, writers sometimes verge on the shameless.Now I was willing to look past Kimberly Willis Holt's paean to the glory of librarians everywhere in "Part of Me", and the non-fiction true tale of librarian heroism, "Dear Miss Breed" by Joanne Oppenheim could certainly slip by on my watch.But recently I've been doubling back and rereading some of the children's books that came out in early 2006.Of those books, one that I missed early on in the game was Richard Peck's, "Here Lies the Librarian", courtesy of Dial Books.Mr. Peck has written a wham-bam, rock `em, sock `em tale of hard core drag racing librarianship.Though still better (as anyone who reads his books regularly will tell you) than 92% of the schlock printed yearly, Peck's latest venture carries with it the faintest odor of familiarity.Basically, if you perused and enjoyed his previous book, "The Teacher's Funeral", then there's probably little reason to go on to this title as well unless you like to regularly douse yourself in Peck's pleasant wordplay.

I Loved them as a Child
When I was a little girl, I would take my Kirsten Collection home from the library and read them over and over again. I adored them. Kirsten was such a spunky, loveable character, and I eventually grew up to love historical fiction. The short but sweet series is all about a young, Sweedish immigrant girl, Kirsten Larson, and her family.
Too Bad They Didn't Have These When I Was Younger
One of two American Girls books I've read and probably the more enjoyable of the pair. I liked the descriptions of the raw, open country of Minnesota, and how the family faces it after a long journey from Sweden. This series can teach a lot about history and life in other times, and it also serves up some lessons in an admirably non-preachy manner. Kirsten was spunky and I hope readers noticed how hard children in the past worked compared to today. There wasn't always a lot of free time and people then were more appreciative of what they had. I like the American Girls book series (the endless merchandising of its themed products notwithstanding) and hope it stays popular for a long time.

Kirsten is a good character, but not one of the best
In the Kirsten boxed set, you will read six books about Kirsten Larson, a pioneer girl growing up in 1854.In "Meet Kirsten" Kirsten and her family are coming to America.Kirsten is one of the few characters in the American Girls Collection that stays the same.All the other characters change in some way, but I did not see this in the Kirsten books.The next five books in the boxed set show how Kirsten and her family try to combine Swedish and American traditions.In "Kirsten Learns A Lesson"Kirsten has difficulty with school and meets an Indian girl named Singing Bird.In "Kirsten's Surprise"Kirsten tries to keep some of the Larsons' Swedish traditions alive by planning a secret Saint Lucia celebration with her cousins.In "Happy Birthday, Kirsten!" Kirsten does extra chores after her mom has a baby, and then gets a special birthday party.In "Kirsten Saves the Day" Kirsten finds treasure in the woods and nearly gets herself and her brother killed when she tries to bring the treasure home.In "Changes for Kirsten" Kirsten's family loses thier home to a fire and must find a way to get a new one. The Kirsten books are good.When I was younger, "Changes for Kirsten" was my favorite of Kirsten's stories.When I went back and read it again later on, as a teen, I discovered something.In the story, the Larsons lose their house--but that is because Kirsten disobeys her mother and brings an injured raccoon in the Larson's cabin, knowing full well the mischeif they are capable of. To date, I can't pinpoint which of the Kirsten books is a favorite, but I know that "Changes for Kirsten" is not one of them. ... Read more

Internment from a child's point of view
This was interesting to me since my mother was about Yuki's age when she went to "camp".My mother doesn't talk much about that time, maybe because some things you just want to forget.It helped me understand some of the fear and prejudice towards Japanese Americans during the war.I have mixed feelings about the internment.It was horrible how so many people lost their livelihoods, but on the other hand, in camp, they were sheltered from the hatred and hostility they may have experienced at home.This was wartime, so everyone was feeling some kind of unhappiness.I give this book 4 stars and 5 stars to Uchida's "Journey Home", the story which follows Yuki's family out of camp.

My Review
Yuki Sakane is a Japanese-American girl, who lives a normal life in Berkeley, California. In her school, kids make fun of her for being Japanese. They also call her "Jap" which is insulting for Japanese.
Yuki's Adventure
Yuki and all the other Japanese living in California have to evacuate after the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor. Yuki and her family have to leave their pets, friends, and furniture behind and head to a camp in Topaz, Utah. People have to live in horse stalls and share bathrooms with people, but Yuki manages to be optimistic about it. Yuki gets a new friend named Emi and they always pal around together until Emi has an unfortunate illness. It is sad at parts when Yuki loses a loved one, but it has a happy ending. I liked this book because it taught me a lot about Japanese concentration camps in the 1940's and I thought the characters were very likeable and unique. This is a good book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about the Japanese concentration camps. ... Read more

Best study guide
This is one the best study guide for the Praxis II 0014.It is well worth every penny.

Easy to read material, but very incomplete
Some things about this book I really like. The pages are large, the text is big, the illustrations are very colorful. The stories are easy to read. It's so less overwhelming than the average history textbook, and presented in a much more interesting format.
Great for homeschoolers!
As with the whole "Complete Book of..." series by American Education Publishing, it is completely wonderful. I have also used their Complete Book of Phonics, Maps & Geography, Arts & Crafts, Math, Time & Money, and both Complete Book of Science books. I look forward to trying their Complete Book of World History too. The book is in story-telling style, has full-color photos and illustrations, maps, charts, timelines and a great reference section. Each section has a great "Show What You Know" at the end to ensure your child has learned what they've just read. Thank you American Education Publishing. I hope you continue to provide books of this nature. My kids love them!!! ... Read more

Beautiful
This was an incredibly beautiful rendering of Squanto's life.I highly recommend the book to all ages.

Excellent Thanksgiving book!
This is an excellent resource to teach children the true meaning of Thanksgiving and how much God loves each of his children and has a wonderful plan for all of them.I would definitely recommend this book!

A Pleasant Addition to Any Thanksgiving Tradition
It is hard to predict how the politically correct police will respond to the publication of this engaging children's book.While the lead character is an Indian (or Native American or whatever p.c. term is in vogue these days) which they generally view positively, he is also a Christian which they generally view negatively.The plot twist that has Squanto embracing the Christian faith should truly ruffle some feathers (so to speak) because faddish dictates say that all religions save Christianity and Judaism are beneficial. Obviously by finding his new faith, he leaves the old one behind.Read more

Watch out ! Reading Level Deflated
A fourth grade teacher used this book in her class for guided reading/literature circle, based on the age range listed. As a special educator in the classroom, I quickly became concerned for the vast majority of the class who did not grasp 80% of the book. The author requires the reader to draw many inferences, a difficult task for nine to ten-year olds. There is a great deal of historical period vocabulary and prior knowledge of the Revolutionary War and colonialism that needs to be pre-taught for anyone under sixth grade to comprehend, especially as the curriculum standards don't introduce the American Revolution until fifth grade.
The Journal of William Thomas Emerson, A Revolutionary War Patriot
I used this book for a literature circle group. Before reading you need to do a lot of background building about the conflicts between the British and the colonist that lead up to the revolutionary war. Lots of unfamiliar vocabulary. Good for very experienced readers. Less experienced readers will need more support. Very enjoyable reading and the students are learning a lot about the revolutionary war and colonial era

Fantastic for reading aloud
Deborah Hopkinson's use of dialogue in this story is what really recommends it to be read aloud.The characters come through the story so well through their words.They usually don't come right out and SAY anything, but instead communicate vital information in a round-about sort of way.They pretend not to have a care in the world, all the while desperately plotting against their captors.
Perpetuating a Myth
While Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt is a wonderful work of fiction, it should be considered just that.
Keep believeing

Wonderful!
I am continually amazed at how children's books offer detail and insight into daily life that no stout history book can provide. A GREAT BOOK!
Another great book by Kate Waters.This book shows the daily life of a Native American child during the time of the Pilgrims.This book goes great with Sarah Morton's Day and Samuel Eaton's Day.Also, check out On the Mayflower also by Kate Waters.

This is a wonderful book !
We are big fans of Kate Waters' books about the Pilgrims (Samuel Eaton's Day, Sarah Morton's Day and On the Mayflower). When we discovered"Tapenum's Day", we were thrilled !I found the 'point of view'from a young Native American boy to be both fascinating and educational, asdid my children. We enjoyed seeing this historically accuate slice of life,written from a balanced perspective. I think this wonderful book rounds outthe collection, including the other four, that no study of the Pilgrimsshould be without. ... Read more

Great Book
A must read for all youngsters. The feedback that we have gotten on this book from the kids who have read Tyler and His Solve-a-matic machine by Jennifer Bouani, is very positive. I highly recommend this book

"...She was tired. Not tired from work, but tired of putting white people first..."
I liked Ms. Giovanni's approach to telling this story. Given that it is a children's book, I appreciate that she looks at the humanity of Rosa Parks, (a woman with a life and a husband), rather than just her political role. I know that my kids will relate better to the story because of that.
"The only tired I was, was tired of giving in".
When I was a child in elementary school and Black History Month came along, the children in my class were taught small songs about various African-American heroes.There was the Harriet Tubman song, the Benjamin Banneker song, and the Rosa Parks song.The Rosa Parks song began in this way, "Rosa Parks was tired and sat / In the front of the bus not back / They tried to make her change her seat / Because she was black".Of course, there are two things wrong with this song already.First of all, she sat in the middle of the bus.Not the back of it.Second of all she wasn't tired.Ms. Parks was an activist, but to make her seem like an everywoman her membership in the NAACP was downplayed so that she would be more sympathetic.The plan worked beautifully and Ms. Parks was raised to the status of folk-hero, as was right.UN-fortunately, there are countless children's books out there that choose to ignore her activism.They are under the distinct impression that if children also think that Ms. Parks was tired or unwittingly told to move that it's so much easier a story to tell."Rosa" is one such book.

A rare American treasure that every American should own.
This book is one of America's greatest treasures!!!It has been a part of my household ever since I was a young girl.No American, black, white, or otherwise should be without this book and the knowledge of its contents.This book is an accurate depiction of how far we as African-Americans havecome and, hopefully, an insight as to where we as an American culture aregoing.This book should never have gone out of print!I recommend thatthis book be used as a textbook in all elementary school, middle school,high school, and college history courses!America as a whole will never beable to mend the wounds if we do not learn about each other, acknowledgeone another, learn to understand one another, and teach each other how toheal all of our wounds and correct the wrongs of the past.Ignorance isnot an istinct or a natural trait, it is a parasitic sore that is handeddown from generation to generation.

A haunting yet true account of the horrors of Black hatred

a great novel about the passions, dreams, and aspirations of a young boy

Mickey and Me
Mickey and me is about a boy named Joe Stoshack that can travel through time using baseball cards. His father gets in a car accident and asks Joe to go back in time to keep Mickey Mantle from an injury that ended his career as a great player. He travels back in time with a Mickey Mantle card(or so he thinks). He does meet Mickey, but is it the right one? Read this book to find out.

This book is the best ever
What I like about this book is how Joe Stoshack's dad has been hiding a Mickey Mantle baseball card for years under a floor board! I hate how they threw trash at people back then if something totally bad happened in baseball. I like when Joe was dressed up in a chicken suit as the team mascot and he had to throw a ball through Hitler's tooth.If he did it, then everyone in the ball park would receive a free movie pass to see Judy Garland's "Meet Me in St. Louis."He missed, so they threw trash at him! Later on in the story he had a chance to do it again and he did it. My most favorite part of all is when he's sitting next to 13 year old Mickey Mantle on a train and he never even realized it! I never thought Joe would be bullied in the story. In the story the girls from the past called him Josephine.Joe is supposed to go back in time to Mickey Mantle, but instead he meets a different Mickey. So the question is where is Joe Stoshack?

great book
This is a story based on the true story of Mary Jemison. I found the fact that it was true very interesting, especially since you can really visit some of the places she lived. It is sad and disturbing and(like the one review said)she is separated from everyone, but it's true! She was terribly sad, the Indians did do horrible things, and she was separated from everyone she knew. Even though this book is true, it is still very entertaining. I think it does a good job of developing the interior conflict: Is she and Indian or a pale-face? I think this book will be loved by all who appreciate historical-fiction.
The Wonders of Indian Captive
The book Indian Captive was a very interesting book. What I liked about the book was that the autor told a lot about the Indain way of life, the author showed great emotion in his writing, and described the scenery very well. The only reason that this is not a five star book is because I thought that the author asked too many questions in the story, not in dialoge but in the story. Sometimes the author didn't even answer the questions. I really enjoyed Indian Captive and hope whoever reads this, buys the book, and reads it!

Indian Captive Review by LEA
This book is about an amazing (...) girl named Mary Jemison aka Molly to her family and friends. The story begins at her home in March Creek Hollow. Honestly the beginning is boring,it doesn't get really good until she gets to the Indian village at least that is my opinion. Anyway after being taken from here family she must learn to be an Indian,but how can she give up her english ways? All through the book she tries to escape only to fail time and time again but when she is given the chance to leave can she really leave the her Indian brothers and sisters? Read the book to find out!

Buy one and you will buy them all.
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.

How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon
My son and I love reading this book and the entire series! It is amazing.

if your kids love dinosaurs...
This series is great if your kids love dinosaurs. They are funny & educational. My 2 year old loves
