	Katrina gave to: Heir Apparent (Paperback) by Vivian Vande Velde bookshelves: childrens-lit-books-read-in-common	my rating:
	read in March, 2008 Katrina said: "The writing style is appropriate for the age group, as opposed to The Dark is Rising. It has a lot of literary quality, it's just not over done. The message about families and forgiveness is subtle but powerful. Character's are well developed, whic...more " add a comment

	Katrina gave to: Dressing (Board book) by Helen Oxenbury bookshelves: picture-books	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Katrina said: "The simpleness of this book is what makes it good. On each page all it has is the word, the baby, and the new article of clothing. There could be no mix up as to what the word is referring to. It also gives opportunity to review since each old artic...more " add a comment
	Katrina gave to: Ah-choo (Paperback) by Mercer Mayer bookshelves: picture-books	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Katrina said: "This book was great. It is wordless but the emotions and details in the pictures perfectly show what is going on. It has humor and teaches about fairness, mercy , and justice. The elephant is way cute too! " add a comment
	Katrina gave to: If You Hopped Like A Frog (If You.) by David Schwartz bookshelves: picture-books	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Katrina said: "This book is great for learning ratios as well as cool facts. Some of the things in the book seemed unbelievable, but at the back there was a list of all the facts as well as how to calculate your would-be abilities with your weight/height. " add a comment
	Katrina gave to: Mouse Count (Paperback) by Ellen Stoll Walsh bookshelves: picture-books	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Katrina said: "This was a cute book. The story could have stood on it's own if it weren't a counting book, thus it entertains and teaches. One strength this book has is that it also address addition because it doesn't simply count 1-10 but it does it in goups of 3...more " add a comment
	Katrina gave to: The Turn-Around, Upside-Down Alphabet Book (Ala Notable Children's Books. Younger Readers (Awards)) by Lisa Campbell Ernst bookshelves: picture-books	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Katrina said: "The idea is cute, but for most of the letters it was a stretch for things that the letter could look like. Also, they used the same four lines as intros to each letter, eg "R dreams to be" or "Q looks like". " add a comment
	Katrina gave to: Eating the Alphabet (Board book) by Lois Ehlert bookshelves: picture-books	my rating:
	read in May, 2008 Katrina said: "I would not use this book to teach the alphabet, however it did have several strengths. First, it listed more than one vegetable for each letter. Second, it had a glossary in the back that described each vegetable that was in the book. Some of the fo...more " add a comment
