Christmas Fun Mad Libs

I bought this, along with Christmas Carol Mad Libs, for my two boys, age 8 and 10. We brought them out on Thanksgiving after dinner and before dessert when everyone was too full to get up :) EVERYONE had a great time playing Mad Libs. Each boy got a turn to go around the table and ask each person in turn for the noun or verb or whatever was required, and then read back the story they created. We all loved it, and the rest of us were adults! I don't know how long we sat around playing but dessert ended up being served later than planned - no one wanted to stop. I will be purchasing more for this year's Thanksgiving. We're having more kids this year and each one will find a Mad Libs book at their place setting. We may not get dessert until midnight. This childrens Christmas book is for kids reading levels ages 9-12.

Cop's Night Before Christmas

"T'was the Night Before Christmas" readers will relate to this story in rhyme because it follows the same pattern, with different words. Illustrations are colorful and add to the story. The cover shows a overweight policeman, looking like Santa. The story centers around a young policeman who reluctantly leaves his wife and young son to work on Christmas Eve. First, he helps a woman with a flat tire, cautions a speeding driver and rescues a kitten. Then he sees a fat old cop who says his name is Kringle. Policeman Kringle takes over the young cop's duties and tells him to go home to his family, much to his delight. Soon he sees a helicopter overhead with jolly Cop Kringle inside waving. The rhymes are good and not contrived. The author is himself a policeman. This Christmas kids book is for children reading levels ages 4-8. A great kids book and a wonderful gift.

The Legend of the Poinsettia

Tomie dePaola masterfully retells the Mexican legend of how the poinsettia came to be. When Lucinda's mother becomes ill and is unable to finish weaving a blanket for the town's nativity, Lucida tries to finish it herself. After she ruins the blanket beyond repair and is ashamed to enter the church empty-handed, Lucinda hides from the town's festive Christmas Eve procession. While she is hiding, a mysterious old woman comes out of the shadows and encourages her to join her family in church and offer whatever she can give to Baby Jesus. After gathering an armful of weeds, Lucinda enters the church and places them in the manger, where they transform into the bright red star of the poinsettia. On their way home after midnight mass, the villagers find the countryside filled with these beautiful red stars. This Christmas kid book is for children reading levels ages 4-8.

Madeline's Christmas

Bemelmans' tiny heroine is the only person in the old house covered with vines who still feels well this Christmas season; everyone else has a cold. A knock at the door is not Santa Claus, but someone equally welcome, a rug merchant. Madeline buys all of his rugs to warm her housemates' feet. At last, the merchant is now cold and returns to be doctored by Madeline. It turns out he is also a magician, and turns the rugs into flying carpets to fly the girls home to their families for Christmas. This Christmas story is a little disjointed and is more concerned with the magic than Madeline. Diehard fans of the series will still clamor for it anyway. This Christmas kids book first appeared as a book insert in the 1956 Christmas edition of McCall's and was restored with the help of the Bemelmans family.

Mummies, bats, spiders and a giant squid all find a place to fit in here in Monster Town. Heshka's illustrations are vivid to the imagination as he captures the essence of all the infamous stars of nightmare legends. However, without a plot or focus on one particular character, this Halloween kids book is simply an imaginative catalog of popular, silly, freaks and ghouls.

Welcome to Monster Town

Even Monsters Need Haircuts

Moonlight: The Halloween Cat

Come follow this black cat Moonlight as she wanders through town and enjoys her favorite evening of the year. Smiling pumpkins, the comfortable lap of a man made of straw, children in costumes, a full moon, and wild animals such as owls and raccoons are all welcome sights. The oversize Halloween kids book with its lush colors make this a Halloween treat. One double-page spread shows a street of houses with witches, a princess, a bee and others going door-to-door for trick-or-treat while another shows the cat from the back perched on a branch and looking at a huge moon ("yellow and wide"). It is perfect for preschool story time and for parents who are introducing their young children to this holiday. It is positive and upbeat, focusing on the light side and leaving out the spooky. The text is short and simple, yet expressive. "Pumpkins smile at her. Straw laps welcome her." This will be very popular with the preschool set. This Halloween kids book is for children reading levels ages 4-8. It is especially fit for children of preschool age. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Shake Dem Halloween Bones

This is a Halloween book for group sharing and joining in. Children will sing and dance and chant the refrain as they shake their little bones with the hip-hop rhyming words and swirling pictures.

AlphaOops: H is for Halloween

In this sequel to AlphaOops! The Day Z Went First (Candlewick, 2006), Kontis and Kolar reintroduce readers to their cast of alphabet players. The book begins with the letter Z directing the letter H to start the show because, “Halloween can't start with any other letter.” Appearing entirely out of sequence, the individual letters then make brief appearances dressed up as characters that begin with their respective letters: “Z is for zombie. N is for nightmare.” The tentative letter B attempts to shine, but he continually encounters problems; at one point his buccaneer costume is taken by P (Pirate) and in another scene a blackbird sits on his head. B perseveres and steals the show by delivering the final line of the play, “B is for…BOO!” Kontis's text is rhythmic and comical, and readers who are comfortable with the alphabet will delight in the silliness of this story. Kolar's illustrations are imbued with a sense of nighttime theater magic, and the slightly muted jewel-tone hues set the scene perfectly. A winsome union of humorous text and art, this light, fresh book is an ideal addition to holiday collections. This Halloween kids book is for children reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments.

Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet

Having packed his Martian Space Pilot costume in his bag, Gilbert, the hedgehog introduced in Roses Are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink (Morrow, 1996), trots off to school for a holiday parade and party. Imagine his dismay when he discovers that he has taken his sister Lola's sack and her pink ballerina outfit by mistake. As five of his classmates also decided to be Martian Space Pilots, it's not an unmitigated disaster so he squeezes into the tutu and toughs it out, encountering surprise but not a trace of derision from his peers. Well, it could happen. De Groat moves her human-proportioned animal cast between a comfortable suburban neighborhood dotted with colorful autumn leaves and a school restroom where the boys change clothes. However skeptical they may be of the mild reaction to Gilbert's costume, young viewers will enjoy the glimpses of loudly colored underwear (plus, for many girls, exotic bathroom plumbing). Despite severely undersized tights, Gilbert isn't made to look all that ludicrous or uncomfortable. Although Lola reclaims her costume for the evening's trick-or-treating, she and her brother at least tinker with gender stereotypes, and that may plant seeds in some readers' minds.

Weirdo Halloween: Special Edition (Goosebumps Horrorland)

R.L. Stine's books have sold more than 300 million copies, making him one of the most popular children's authors in history. Besides Goosebumps, R.L. Stine has written series including: Fear Street, Rotten School, Mostly Ghostly, The Nightmare Room, and Dangerous Girls. R.L. Stine lives in New York with his wife, Jane, and his King Charles spaniel, Minnie. If you think Halloween could not get any weirder than this, then you must be dead wrong. After two kids stumble into Jonathan Chiller's shop in HorrorLand, they will soon discover that a magical Floig (a stuffed animated creature with buggy frog eyes) belongs to an alien called a Weirdo, whom they later meet in the real world, where the two kids, Meg and Chris, are in grave danger. When the children discover that Bim the Weirdo feeds on human emotions, they realize how easy it will be to make the pesky alien disappear forever. After Bim returns to his home planet, Meg returns to HorrorLand on Halloween to play a scary game for Jonathan Chiller. If she wins, Meg gets to go home. But if she loses, she must stay in HorrorLand forever. Someone is stealing Meg's identity. It turns out that the Meg's twin is a robot and so Meg returns safely home where she belongs with her family and friends.

Weirdo Halloween

Trixie The Halloween Fairy

With this "Rainbow Magic" series, the author seeks to tap into current fascination with fairies. This "special edition" series book has particular appeal, focusing as it does on the fun, exciting holiday of Halloween. Rachel and Kirsty are looking ahead to trick-or-treating as fairies, but their plans are quickly interrupted by the mean spirited antics of Jack Frost. Frost had his goblins steal three magical pieces of Halloween candy from Trixie, the Halloween Fairy. Fortunately, they lost the candy in the process; at least they do not have it! Unfortunately, unless Trixie can find the candies and return them to Fairyland before Frost's minions find them, Halloween will be ruined! That is where Rachel and Kirsty come in. Trixie needs the girls' help to find the chocolate bar, candy corn, and caramel apple. The pacing of this Halloween kids book is slow and the action is surprisingly passive. The true hero of the book seems to be Trixie's Fairyland kitten Moonlight. Still, fairy loving readers are likely to enjoy this book, and the low cost might justify its purchase as an appealing holidayspecific option for middle readers.

The Teeny Tiny Ghost

This is ghostly trick or treat fun for tiny tots. The tiny ghost discovers that haunting is very hard, especially for a ghost who is scared. The secrets of his heritage seem out of his grasp until one Halloween night when he is motivated to be a protector of his cats and his home. The pictures of the tiny ghost trying out his scary voice, frightening himself and then puffing himself up to look scary are a hoot. Audience participation for sound effects makes this a crowd pleaser. This is a great Halloween children's book for kids ages 4-8.

Arthur's Halloween: Book & CD

Sure to be popular due to the success of the new PBS television series, these new additions to the series demonstrate the vocal talent of author/illustrator Marc Brown. Arthur's creator reads the texts, giving each character a distinctive voice. He is able to portray the females, like mother and D.W., while avoiding stereotypical high, squeaky voices. The production values on the recordings are excellent, with background music and helpful sound effects. The slamming of car doors, the sound of rain or footsteps, and other sound effects give the tapes the quality of old radio shows. Each tape opens with the theme song, "Say Hello to Arthur." Both sides of each tape are the same except for the page-turning signal bell on one side. In Arthur's Family Vacation, rain ruins the family's stay at the beach until Arthur thinks of activities they can do. In Arthur's Halloween, Arthur and D.W. learn you can't presume a house is haunted just because the outside looks run down. The artwork in each children's book features Brown's customary cartoon-like ink and watercolor illustrations that add humor to the stories. The tapes work well even without the kids books.

Trick or Treat: A Peanuts Halloween

I will admit to being a somewhat casual reader of comic strips. I have a few favorites I follow regularly, but around the holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is really when I sit down and read a lot of newspaper strips. I guess I just love seeing how they celebrate the holidays and their usually quite funny. This collection of Peanuts strips is all about Halloween as Charlie and the gang go trick-or-treating, have parties, and dress up for the season. It is not a complete collection of all of Schulz strips to be sure, but it is a nice, representative gathering of material culled from over the years. also included throughout is mostly forgettable tips for throwing parties, decorating, and recipes. None of it worth much and I would have preferred to see more comics and some in color as opposed to that stuff. all in all a nice collection. I highly recommend this children's book, especially for any die-hard Peanuts fan. It was wonderful to see how Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the gang changed over time. And I happen to like Schulz's humor better when he first started writing and drawing; it was more childlike. The comics are Halloween and monster themed and some of them are hilarious, ones I have not seen in a long time. Of course there is lots about "The Great Pumpkin" but how could it be coming Halloween and Linus does not mention him! Read it and enjoy. Good old fashioned comics and humor!

10-Minute Critical Thinking Activities for Math

I bought this kids book so I could be kept up to date on my math skills. This book was an excellent choice for me. It has tons of problems in the following areas: Critical Thinking and Algebra, Logic and Critical Thinking, Number theory and Problem Solving, Sequences Patterns and Codes and Visual/Geometric Patterns. It starts off basic and gets more challenging. First you do work with patterns, then algebra, then some hard logic problems and onto problems involving thinking and counting (not simple 1,2,3 counting). I recommend this kids book to any adult who wants to "keep in touch" with their math skills. It is also good for a high school math class. This kids book is for children ages 12 and up.

Going Swimming

Here is the ideal way to show your toddler what happens at the swimming pool. A real understanding of the realities of family life is the highlight of these warm and reassuring little kids books. Parents in Touch Charming read. Packed full of details that had me imagining mini stories about the other characters. The style of illustration are realistic and the story is a great depiction of going swimming. These kids books are absolutely lovely. They should do very well for the really young person who might be about to go and do one of these things. This little kids book if for children reading level ages 3-6.

28 Good Night Stories

This anthology is neatly tied together with a knot of friendship between a guardian-angel trainee and an old bear. The two take turns sharing one story each night until the next full moon and the angel's big test. In the end, the bear learns the secret word that the angel has whispered in the ear of a child each night: "Grow." That is the central theme of each story, whether it be physical, emotional or intellectual growth. While the concept is sweet and the message meaningful (if forced at times), several stories lack the spark that would bring them to life. Tharlet's charming artwork employs a soft palette that lends to the somnolent feel of the stories, depicting the most cogent details of each. The affection between the two friends is easily apparent, while the adorable little angel's almost hopeless clumsiness will have readers rooting for his final success. A mixed result, but there are lessons to be learned here, and the illustrations are worth a look. This story book for kids is for ages 4-8.

28 Good Night Stories

1 Teddy Bear: A Counting Book

Teddy bears are certainly a favorite child's toy. Soft, warm, brown plush usually adds to the comfort. In this board book, the familiar toy comes in a variety of shades from almost yellow to dark brown, and the teddy bears are used to help kids learn to count from 1 to 10. The bears are shown in recognizable activities, two on the phone, four waving at the reader, six holding flowers, nine wearing red caps and ten all in a bed. With that many teddy bears, there is no room for a sleepy child, but the kids will enjoy seeing two teddy bears reading books, one snuggling with a doll and others already asleep. The spreads are different colors, so the little kids book could also be used to introduce more than half a dozen colors. This kids book is simple, but effective. This children's book is for kids ages 0-4. Preschoolers books for kids.

1 Teddy Bear: A Counting Book

Ragweed (The Poppy Stories)

It has a "city mouse, country mouse" theme in this rousing prequel to Poppy (1995), starring Poppy's ill-fated beau. Impelled by wanderlust to hop a train to who-knows-where, Ragweed ends up in the rundown part of Amperville, where the local mice (all named after car parts) are being terrorized by Felines Enraged About Rodents (F.E.A.R.), a two-cat extermination squad led by evil-tempered Silversides. After several brushes with death, Ragweed defiantly teams up with Clutch, green-furred lead guitarist for the B-Flat Tires, to open a dance club for mice only, then in the climax organizes a devastating counterattack that sends F.E.A.R. scurrying out of town. In the end, though, Ragweed opts for the country life (little knowing that it's going to be sweet but short). A colorful cast in which even the ferocious Silversides comes in for a dash or two of sympathy, plus a plot replete with, of course, narrow squeaks will keep readers turning the pages, while Floca's scenes of tiny mice fleeing looming, toothy predators add more than a touch of drama. This kids story book is for children ages 9-12.

1 Baby, 2 Cats, 3 Trucks

The back cover claims that "The excitement adds up on each page of this action-packed book." That, I am afraid, may be a bit of a stretch for this simple board book that counts from one to ten. The illustrations are stylized, the baby has a huge head, the cats extra long bodies and the dogs are not particularly realistic. The number on each page is big and bold, as is the word naming the objects to be counted. The scenes appear to be random and do not provide a story or lead to any conclusion. There is nothing exciting or outstanding about this counting book. However, it is a good introductory preschoolers book. This little kids book is for ages 0-4.

1 Baby, 2 Cats, 3 Trucks

World War Hulk

It's a great comic book. I absolutely loved the story. It's about more than just a guy getting angry, turning green and demolishing everything. I believe it's about a tragic hero. This man, Bruce Banner, was tricked into being banished by his own peers, friends, and colleagues. He crash landed on a distant freaky planet, Sakaar, where he immediately became a slave, eventually overthrowing the king, becoming ruler and finally finding peace. Then the shuttle that brought him to Sakaar, exploded and caused the death of millions, including the Hulk's queen and the child she was carrying. What made this story so special is not just seeing that the Hulk was angry, but it was understanding WHY he was angry. I don't want to give the whole story here, but once I understood why he was angry, it made the story that much more meaningful for me. Once the story was finished I came to the conclusion that the Hulk is a hero, not a monster. I like John Romita, Jr's work. I thought that he decently portrayed the story through his art. I honestly believe though, that David Finch or Mike Deodato would have made the story come alive visually in terms of artistically showing the rage of the Hulk to the reader. I really did enjoy Romita's work on the WWH though. It's also pretty cool to see the Hulk just absolutely lay waste to Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Black Bolt, and Mr. Fantastic. Nothing made me smile more than seeing Iron Man take a beating. Of course I say this because of Cap's death as a result of the events of the Civil War. Iron Man has just become a jerk lately and seeing the Hulk give him a beating was very pleasing. I also liked the panels of the Hulk vs. The Sentry. I'm not a Sentry fan, but the fight was pretty cool and the Hulk stood his ground against Mr. Reynolds. All in all, I believe any Hulk fan should pick this up, it's worth the money to add to your collection. Most definitely the angriest the Hulk has ever been!

Fisher-Price Little People Worlds of Adventure

I have a two and a half year old son whom we started reading the flip-the-flap books with about three months ago. He loves them. These little kids books are interesting for him and more interactive with the flaps, counting, object and animal identification and more! The Fisher Price series of these are particularly well made with stiff cardboard pages and sturdy flaps. For as energetic as he is, the books have suffered no damage. I have purchase eight or nine so far and they are her favorite bedtime reading. They ship quickly and are packed well. This little kids book is for kids ages 0-4.

The Story of Easter: Read and Share

This Easter children's book, The Story of Easter, certainly did not disappoint my kindergarten age son or I. The book starts with the procession of Palm Sunday, with Jesus riding on the donkey, then takes the reader through Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and finally Easter Sunday. I was quite impressed with the close to truth telling of the story, as it is sometimes difficult to tell this story to children. It is written in a simple, yet truthful manner for all to understand. The illustrations are also a plus, giving the reader an often needed visual (yet not too scary with the events of Good Friday). I entirely recommend this book for all families who have small children and want to explain a bit fuller the truths and events of Holy Week.

The Story of Easter: Read and Share

Where Are Baby's Easter Eggs?

Baby is looking for Easter Eggs. Where are they hidden? She looks behind the bushes, in the laundry basket, behind the flowers, under the picnic table, up in the tree and even behind the gate. She does not find the eggs until the end, but at each "lift the flap" there are items that relate to Easter, such as a bonnet, jelly beans, bunnies and chicks. At last she finds the shiny colored eggs. The celebration can begin. Toddlers always enjoy lifting the flaps to see what is behind them. The little round headed baby changes poses on each page. Children are introduced to a variety of vocabulary-extending prepositions as well as items that relate to Easter. The card stock flaps are probably not sturdy enough for libraries, but this Easter children's book would be a nice addition to an Easter basket. This Easter children's book is for kids reading levels baby-preschool, ages 0-4. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Where Are Baby's Easter Eggs?

Easter Mice!

Mother Mouse bedecked in her Easter bonnet takes her three children dressed in jackets and ties outside for an egg hunt. The two older ones begin to search right away but the youngest gets sidetracked. He thoroughly enjoys picking flowers ("Sniff! Whiff!/ Spring! Fling!"), rolling in the mud, swinging on a branch, and boating on a leaf. When Mother Mouse gathers her three boys, the youngest is upset because he is the only one with no eggs. He runs away but happens upon an egg that cracks and reveals "An Easter friend." Cushman's illustrations in springtime colors extend a spare but energetic text that is full of action words. The expressive faces of the little mice will engage the reader. There are a number of imaginative touches in the interior of the house, such as the pencil that serves as a curtain rod and the postage stamp that is a picture on the wall. A nice little holiday story with a reassuring premise for young listeners.

Ollie's Easter Eggs

Easter in Harwick

This was the first Easter children's book I had bought for my son age 3. He really enjoys the Thomas and Friends books/toys, so I knew this would be a hit. At this age I have been buying holiday books that get him into the spirit and it has really made him understand once the holiday came. We still have to read it once and a while so it is not just for Easter. This kids Easter book is for kids ages 4-8.

Bunny's Easter Egg

Bunny has been working hard all night to hide beautiful eggs for the hunt on Easter morning, and now she would like nothing better than to take a long quiet nap. She still has one egg in her basket, but it is very plain, and anyway, she is too tired to hide any more eggs. But try as she might, she cannot find a good place to sleep. The birds are chirping, the frogs are croaking, the mice are squeaking…how will she ever get any sleep? After trying a series of likely spots the garden, the boat at the pond, a hollow in some tree roots she finally ends up back in her own egg basket and finds that she now has a new companion in place of the plain brown egg. The story line is simple with lots of repetition, which will appeal to young listeners. This is definitely a "read to" book since the vocabulary is often beyond the target audience age range (e.g., wheelbarrow, burrowing, etc.). The illustrations are exquisitely executed with beautiful colors and engaging depictions of small animals, flowers, and brightly colored eggs. There is even a challenge in the beginning of the book to find all the eggs hidden in the book's illustrations. A timely addition for the Easter season, this book would make a nice personal gift, but is of limited utility for classroom discussion or group work.

Biggest Easter Basket Ever

Mouseville residents are all excited by the upcoming Easter festivities. The mayor has announced that there will be an egg rolling contest, Easter egg hunt and a contest to see who can make the biggest Easter basket. Clayton and Desmond are each determined to win and they prepare really huge baskets, but when they check out those of their friends they realize that the others are about the same size. The solution becomes fairly obvious Desmond and Clayton decide to cooperate and together with their families they do build the biggest and best Easter basket. The friends win the contest and share all the goodies with those who are participating in the festivities. The added attraction in this book is the series of foil egg stickers (for which there is no explanation or apparent use in the book).
A delightful children's Easter story book. Recommend for kids ages 4 8.

Hack// Another Birth Volume 3

.Hack Another Birth is written by N.Kawasaki. It is a science fiction novel. I thought the book was awesome! It always kept me guessing and had a lot of surprise turns. Most of the time the book takes place in an online video game called The world. Other times it takes place in the real world. The major conflict is Akiras brother Fumakazu has fallen into a coma wile playing The World. Akira must find the reason why he is in a coma with the help of her online friend kite. Akiras online friend Mistral (whom she eventually meets in the real world.) has to quit playing The World because she it pregnant. Akira was ok with this and said it was best the she did quit due to all the stuff that'

s been happening in the game. Lios and Helba two characters in the story really dislike each other but they must join forces in order to help Akira and company to fix the world. Akira thinks of a plan to bring them together and work out a deal for Lios to join. This book is biased on Akiras point of view. There are a lot of big words that are hard to pronounce in this book. For people who like science fiction and online games .Hack would be the best choice. They will get a suspenseful and page turning book.

hack// Another Birth Volume 2

Soon I finished the first book in 3 days I went back to the kids book store and bought the second one and like the first I couldn't stop reading. I played the game no my brother did until some point and had to stop, not because we wanted to, but when I got to the point where we had stopped playing the game I was so enthused I even considered buying it. I did not even need to open the book to know it was going to be good when I saw it on the shelf at the book store. There was no need to because the game was good and the book I can not compare. I completed it in 3 days and loved everything about it. I will reread all the books just for the heck of the love I have for them. Any more books that come out for the .hack//series I'm getting without thinking of the outcome or what I was planning to use the money on.

Valentines Are For Saying I Love You

This book is what Valentine's Day is all about. I bought it for my adult sisters, adult sons, and preschool age grandchildren. I hear so often people complaining about what they didn't get on Valentine's Day. This book shows that Valentine's Day is about giving, not about getting. The little girl in the book makes special valentines for all of the people she loves and one by one gives the valentines to family members, friends, and even her dog. It is a joyful book that shows the true meaning of the day. It makes a wonderful valentine for adults too at a reasonable cost.

.hack// Another Birth Volume 1

This book was amazing and I can not wait to get the second one. I loved the plot twists because I thought I knew what was going to happen but I was so wrong. This book just pulled me in and I could not stop reading it, so I read the whole thing in one day. Everyone that is into any form of manga should try this series out. It is very important to read the postscript though so don't forget it. This book would get a 100 on a scale of 1 - 10. That is how good this book is. The only draw back is that there are a few typos, but this is normal for a first run of a series. This book is targeted for young adult readers. Your teenagers will love this book for teens.

If You Lived at the Time of Martin Luther King

Updated from the 1990 edition, this well-written, historically rich text deserves a spot in every school and public library collection. In the attempt to paint a portrait of key events, people, and beliefs associated with the civil rights movement in America, Levine refuses to oversimplify, conceal, or glorify. She is honest in the telling, sharing vividly but not gratuitously the physical and emotional violence that resulted in the attempt to enact equality in the United States—from the Birmingham church bombings to the attempts by Bull Connor to break up a children's protest using water hoses and attack dogs. Levine defines and provides contextual information for difficult concepts (segregation and nonviolent direct action, for example) and reveals lesser-known historical truths to fill in the gaps often existent in classroom textbooks. Readers learn, for instance, that teenager Claudette Colvin paved the way for Rosa Parks by first refusing to give up her seat on the bus and that President Kennedy gained support from black voters in his support of Martin Luther King, Jr. The illustrations capture well the strong emotions experienced by those on all sides, leaving readers sometimes uncomfortable but always inspired to think carefully and critically. The text is organized by key questions, making it easy to navigate, and ends with a time line of important events, list of places to visit, and music and lyrics to "We Shall Overcome."
