Go-to

When I was little my mom bought me the entire set of Mercer Mayers Tink!Tonk! books. I loved the set and I like this book especialy. I only wish that I kept all of the set, all I have left is four books. Mercer Mayer did a excellent job of writting these books, and its a shame that they are not in print any more.

because of this book i want to be an author and write books just like this and make millions of children happy. If i had kids i would read this truly awe inspiring book. every kid should modle there behavour after the heros of the book teep and beep. (beep is my personal favorite)

This is a book about children around the world. The people go to school on bikes and skateboards. They hide under trees. They walk on paths. They walk down hills. The are not aloud to go outside.

Next year I will be a teacher and I am starting to build my classroom library now. This book is a wonderful book to have. It discusses forms of transportation that most children would not think of. It also teaches them about other places in the world.

Another great Chalet School book. This book has all the usual features of a book for girls of all ages, "a bit of fun".

A must for Chalet School fans - introduces one of the most favourite characters, Mary-Lou. This book shouldn't be missed. A great read!

This is a very good book. In it, Barna examines growing churches and then extrapolates growth principles that they have in common. Barna warns the greater that to simply copy the methodologies and formats of successful churches without first analyzing one's own culture is to guarantee failure.

Barna refutes to give pat answers to difficult questions. He urges the reader to understand the spiritual principles behind successful churches and then apply them to his or her own unique situation. The emphasis on leadership is superb. No church can grow if the pastor does not understand what it means to be a leader and to lay out a God-given vision for his people. No statement is truer than this: If the people in your church do not seem truly excited or passionate about ministry, he is because they do not have a leader who models those traits for them."

I must confess that I am a real Barna fan and find it rather difficult to find fault with his work. Although at times he can get bogged down in statistics this book is remarkably lucid and worthy of sharing with my lay leadership. It has a clear, concise and limited purpose and Barna fulfills it admirable.

Barna studied some of the most successful churches in America (defined as those growing rapidly while having a major impact on the lives of people). What he found provides a new definition of effective church ministry: remaining true to the Gospel while remaining relevant to society. Anyone who thinks "church" has to mean "organs, robes, and cathedrals" will hate this book. Anyone who wants to know how to make church more relevant to Americans' daily lives, without compromising the Gospel message, must read it. This can (and should) change the way you do ministry

I recently read this book as a part of a children's literature class for education students and it was fantastic. For anyone who hasn't read any of Christopher Paul Curtis' books, this one would be a great to start with. The books tells the story of the Watson family and their visit to Grandma's house in Alabama. A family of three children and their parents go through the funny and familiar routines of school, work, friends and the "wool pooh". It has many moments where the reader can completely relate to the characters and it also gives a side to younger readers about the time era in whic the story takes place. I do agree with other reviews that this book could definately be used in an elementary school setting and it gives children a different perspective on the lives of an African-American family in 1963. Also, being from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I can really relate to the Watsons, since they lived in Flint, Michigan. I recommend this book to anyone, especially younger readers and teachers whom might use this in their classrooms. Also, if you like this book, you will also like another book by Curtis called "Bud, Not Buddy."

I am a 5th grade teacher and my students really enjoyed listening to me read this book! In their words, it is realistic and funny! They could really relate to the characters and couldn't wait to hear more!

My son has special needs and he ABSOLUTELY LOVES THIS BOOK!!! We have read it almost every night for more than a month and have had to re-borrow it from the library. It is just perfect for him because it reflects his day at school perfectly. Thanks to Ms. Martin for a great book.

I do not have a family of my own, yet, but have purchased this book for myself and many of my friend's children and nieces and nephews. This book is a wonderful guide for what to expect when children go to school. My neice and nephew are too young for kindergarten but enjoy the book because they associate it with their day care experience. The book so cleverly pulls in children and adults through the writing and the brillant illustrations that you find yourself rereading the book just for the joy of it. I would recommend this for any family who has or knows children.

I will never look at the future quite the same way again

Wow! This is the bet book on decision making I have ever read. I think that so many of us are unsure about the choices we make, and Where Do I Go has some advice that I applied to my life. It really works!

If you have any questions on your call, this book can help you narrow your goal. I recently experienced a call from the Lord and this book helped me to find out exactly what type of ministry I want to pursue.

Not only helps you decide if the ministry is for you, also explains the the roles and responsibilities of ordained ministers and a true picture of the sacrifices that must be made.

This books answers every question teachers need answered. No boring theory.. just great suggestions! There are so many ideas that were not taught in teacher training programs. What I liked most was that she has a good sense of humor too. SHe even gives you her email address for help. She is my cyber-mentor!(Prejteach@aolcom)

This book was given to me as a gift and has helped me in the classroom. The book isn't about theory and is easy and fun to read. There are hundreds of strategies and you can read it in a day. Every teacher should own a book like this to make his/her job easier. The book answers all the questions we have and helps us have the discipline in the classroom that we all need in order to teach our students.

I have used this book for several years with different grade levels. It is easy to use and I find it very complete in giving directions. The included rubrics are great!
