The pictures are cute.  The story is sweet.  The best part is that the book in interactive.  There are places throughout the book where you stop and choose.  I liked it!

This book has great pictures.  It’s easy to read, and very informative.  The whole subject is a little frightening.   Through out the book there are interesting facts about snakes.  The list of dangerous snakes in the front of the book, with the locations where those snakes can be found was interesting.  There are amazing stories of people’s experiences with snake bites.   The book teaches you what to do if you are ever in the situation where you have been bitten by a snake.  I found the book held my attention.

The pictures are nice.  It moves along quickly, and is an easy read.

I’m certain some people will like it.  I don’t really care for it.  It seems to deal with a girl moving from being a girl to a teen.

It does have an easy to read rather pretty font.

At the end of the book is a number of questions that address being silly.   Reading the book to a group, and then exploring the open ended questions at the end of the book could be a fun and thought provoking experience for a group.

Basic science for young children with fun experiments to help teach the concept.  The illustrations are very good and help make the book more enjoyable and fun.

There is a section in the back for parents and teachers to help in using the book for teaching children about physical sciences.

Very nice book

This book has a broad over view of space history and the future.  The book stirs up all the excitement about space we had years ago.  The pictures are fantastic.  Very good book.  There is a timeline that is well done.  Table of contents in the front and glossary in the back.

This is a fun way to learn about animals.  This is the World Animal Games-WAG for short.  There are several different categories that have four contestants, each a different animal from around the world. It tells about the animals in a new way.  The pictures are good and the Facts are fun. This book makes you think and learn.  The elementary students love this book.

This is an encyclopedia with entries on cat people, dog people, succubus, demons and werewolves from all over the world in life, literature and film. Each entry is followed by a list of sources.  There is an entry on Enkidu, the world’s earliest recorded manbeast. There are entries on Bella Legosi’s Dracula and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. There is an entry on Navajo werewolves, or “skin walkers.” Considering the abundance of books and movies about vampires, werewolves and demons in the last several years, this is sure to find an audience in a high school library.

The story of Quincy Moves to the Desert is told from Quincy, the horse’s point of view. His best horse friend, Beau, tells him that they will travel from New York to the desert of New Mexico.  Beau is older and more experienced than Quincy, who is also new to the farm.  Beau narrates the trip with information about different breeds of horses in different states.  They all seem to be doing something different and unique.  Luckily  a map is included in the story and a wonderful website!  http://www.quincythehorse.com/

This book demonstrates how the tongue is not the only tasting organ, but that different species have different ways of tasting.  These different ways include feet, tentacles, skin and legs.  What is pretty amazing are the numbers of taste receptors different species have, usually many more than humans.  The content of this book is fine, but if there had been actual high resolution photographs included, rather than illustrations, this book would have rated a recommend.
