Outgrowing the Pain: A Book for and About Adults Abused As Children Customer Review: Essential resource
This book presents a simple, friendly clinical resource that is helpful to therapists and as bibliotherapy for clients who are dealing with abuse.
Customer Review: Not what I thought it was
This is a tiny little book with lots of pictures and very little substance to it. It’s designed to ask questions of the reader and point out certain behaviors, and that’s it. I didn’t find the information in it very useful, but since I do volunteer work with children I decided to keep in around to refer to from time to time. I didn’t find it to be a book for adults at all. My advice is don’t waste your money.

The Random House Book of Poetry for Children “A generous collection with a distinctly upbeat tone, this gives a taste of the best poets writing for children over the last several decades. Lobel’s drawings imbue the whole with action and graphic images as inventive as the verse. Successfully geared to meet home, school, and library needs.”–(starred) Booklist.
Customer Review: A Perennial Gift
As a middle school reading teacher, I host an annual Poetry Reading Competition open to all 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. For the past several years, this book has been a prize, in addition to plaques for the first and second prize winners. The best review for this book is that the children use it, read it, and often select poems from it for their entry pieces. Even better, perhaps, is that I have had thanks from many parents for awakening an interest in poetry in their children, boys and girls alike. This volume of poetry offers a full range of poems, for short to long, humorous to sublime, and in a wide range of topics. While it is just one of a wide selection of books and poets I offer my students, it is one of the most versatile. Whether teaching rhyme scheme, simile and metaphor, slanted rhyme, figurative language, or stress, this is also an invaluable part of my teaching arsenal.
Customer Review: Just so so..
Not as exciting or holding interest as the 20th Century Anthology by the same author…

Let’s Learn Hiragana: First Book of Basic Japanese Writing (Kodansha’s Children’s Classics) There are three types of Japanese script-katakana, hiragana, and kanji. It is possible to read Japanese knowing only a limited number of kanji, but it is not possible with only a limited number of katakana or hiragana-one must know all of them. Let’s Learn Hiragana, and its companion volume Let’s Learn Katakana, is a textbook that introduces the learner to the basics of one of these fundamental Japanese scripts. Being a workbook, it contains all the exercises that allow the student to master hiragana by the time the book has been finished. Let’s Learn Hiragana is a classic in the field, and the huge number of students that have used it successfully is a sign of its preeminence as a self-study guide.
Customer Review: Amazing Book
I learned the entire hiragana characters in 2 months thanks to this book!

Leading Little Ones to God: A Child’s Book of Bible Teachings Customer Review: Wonderful Family Devotional
Like other reviewers, my biggest beefs with this book are the outdated illustrations and the “Thee/Thou/Thy” prayers. But our kids seem to enjoy the lessons, and the 4 year old can easily answer the questions. I know he’s really taking it in because he brings things up and asks me about them days and weeks later. We do this book at dinner, and as soon as my husband or I have a clean plate, my 3 year old pipes up, “Read the Devotional!” This is a great introduction to the faith for any family.
Customer Review: One of the Greatest Books Ever Written!
As a mother of 6 children under 7, I was looking for a book to simply teach bible doctine to my children. This book has a very organized way of laying out who God is, what that means to my children, and what their role is in their world. The excerpts are short enough to keep their attention, but thorough to cover the concept. I love this book and love reading it to my children before bed. I recommend this book to every family!

I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More! (Ala Notable Children’s Books. Younger Readers (Awards))
