I'm and Won't, They're and Don't What's a Contraction by Brian P. Cleary

There's a reason I like this book, and why I do not like this book. One of the reasons I like this book is because some of the phrases that are written to rhyme.

The reason I like this book because it is very busy and there is no theme to the image. One page is about the zoo's front page is all about the beach and the other one is about ice cream.

The main idea of ​​this book is to give information about contraction.

The Magic School Bus Inside Ralphie by Joanna Cole

The Magic School Bus Inside Ralphie by Joanna Cole

Magic School Bus series is good for the students to learn from. The coffee is very interesting information. I like him and illustrated through the book.
He grabs readers and keeps readers wanting more until the last page. The story begins with a student is sick and crazy teachers to lead students on a field trip of a sick child. Many people can relate to feeling ill and did not want to take medication icky. The author was able to explain to the reader why it is important to take the medicine through unique and informative.
The challenge is illustrated through the story Grabbers attention Yes, we all know that it is not possible for the bus to shrink to a party; But the story is found in the body, it is reasonable. The illustrations of the human body is very interesting in the fact that it is not to be graphic. But it is detailed There's even a spot of coffee when she thought he was looking at the anatomy of reality on television. (I did not know it was in her son's) cell-like cells that were drawn in anatomy books.
The main story line is to inform readers how the bacteria in the body and how important it is to use. Class field trips inside the shop was able to see the cells with drugs that attack bacteria. If it was not for drugs, bacteria will grow and the coffee could have gotten hurt.

But and For, Yet and Nor: What is a Conjunction? by Brian P. Cleary

But and For, Yet and Nor: What is a Conjunction? by Brian P. Cleary

I think this is a good book to learn about conjunctions. I like that the authors use a different color for each share. For example, the word "so" is written in green and the word "but" is written in orange. Color and highlights the differences in the different types of conjunctions are available. Also, I like the author, including the definition of the beginning of the book to the title page. The authors write, "participants. The combination of the words, phrases and words," This is useful because it provides me with the means and knowledge base before I started reading. The main idea of ​​this is to use conjunctions can improve by linking two ideas to make a more complex sentences.

Skippyjon Jones, Lost in Spice by Judy Schachner

Skippyjon Jones, Lost in Spice by Judy Schachner

I enjoyed this book more reasons than that I do not like it. But I do have some complaints. Like the concept of matter consisting of a small cat with pointed ears who thinks he's a Chihuahua. He went to his closet dressed as an astronaut, and believes he is on a mission to Mars, space, planets, red pepper spice. There he met with friends and Mars that look like his name Tino Ojo where he ends up in a sock monkey tug of war with which to send him back to his bedroom on the planet. Throughout the story, I enjoyed the lectures as a joke. "Mars to your wardrobe and get us some Frijoles" said the voice. I also liked the illustrations, details that comes with a good message. They're doing a chalk drawing colorful pictures and soft character. I also think that the Spanish experience and involvement with the opportunity to learn. For example, "Tito Poquito!" Exclaimed Skippito "That is your Amigo?".
Although I enjoyed the book, I did not like some little. One is the fact that it is difficult to read aloud for the first time. Because many words in Spanish or was made to say almost treat them correctly and smoothly. I've heard that it is important for you to hear these stories on CDs before you read this cause. I've never done this, which is probably why I struggle with reading, Skippy Jon Jones did not like is that there is no Spanish word for word. I feel that this would be of benefit to those who can not speak Spanish, not only. But learning how to say the word correctly. I understand very well.
Overall, this book, like the other books I have read, Skippy Jon Jones has more positive than negative about them, and I know it's fun to have them read aloud. I have to practice ahead of time.

The Birthday Box by Leslie Patricelli

The Birthday Box by Leslie Patricelli

Leslie Patricelli of babies are back and this time it was the birth of the baby! He / she is super excited to get a birthday present that came in cardboard boxes, oversized and / his new friend, her dog called Oscar take a flight of fancy, they pretend play. a drop box robots, etc. and find other uses for the box (such as a bed).

Like many Patricelli children's books to make sure to be a hit with toddlers and even preschoolers. The baby is too cute not to love, and the story is sweet without being sugary. I love that it extols the virtues of "toys" that can be used in a variety of ways to promote pretend play and creativity and imagination. Parents and other caregivers to immediately (and probably laugh at) the age-old "dilemma" boy's love gift box as much. (Or sometimes more) than the actual present.

This is especially written in both English and Spanish, which are great for speakers of one language as well as those who speak one of them and want to learn more.

The story begins with the students and Ms. wrought in their classrooms, they go on adventures of their Magic School Bus. What is interesting to me is that the author took some readers will learn something about. In this book, The Magic School Bus will be paved to learn about what's happening under the ocean. Students become a hermit crab, which I thought was a lovely touch to the story. This is not just a story about the adventure. But on learning experience. Throughout the book, the fact that the information which will help readers learn more. "At low tide the animals to protect themselves from dying out. They close their shells and tentacles to keep the water inside. "Readers are not just learning about the animal itself.

This book is fun to read about the intellectual as well as read about the adventures of fun.

Under, Over, By the Clover by Brian P. Cleary

Under, Over, By the Clover by Brian P. Cleary

This book started out as a large part of the book, Brian P. Cleary's do something meaningful. Prepositions are often difficult concept for children to grasp.

Explain I read this book when I first learned about prepositions can help me understand what the prepositions and how they are used in everyday language.

Higher! Higher! by Leslie Patricelli

Higher! Higher! by Leslie Patricelli

I liked the book, "Higher! Higher! "By Leslie Patricelli book is a great book for young children because of the choice of words and illustrations. The book will consist of two sentences: "The high rise !!" image to the plot and tell a story. I like the picture shows a realistic picture of the woman and her surroundings. I think if the picture is more realistic, they are not as noticeable to the reader. I think the choice of words, simple words, it is relatable and accessible to many readers have said, "Higher! Higher! "While being driven to swing at, they want to soar into the clouds. The idea in this book is that you can go "higher! Higher! "But at the end of the day your family is always in the back to hug you and support you.

Quiet Loud (Leslie Patricelli board books) by Leslie Patricelli

Quiet Loud (Leslie Patricelli board books) by Leslie Patricelli

As you might guess from the title, this book focuses on the contrast with the quiet and loud. Although it is a book that is fairly basic and the short-term will not do a good job of demonstrating the concept. Spread each demonstrate the peaceful one, and the one thing - the whispering and shouting, turtles and monkeys, the message is simple and easy to read and understand. But the book is more comprehensive than some shows just one word per page. This book stands well on its own. But it is also a real hit with some adjustments.

Stroll and Walk, Babble and Talk: More About Synonyms by Brian P. Cleary

Stroll and Walk, Babble and Talk: More About Synonyms by Brian P. Cleary

I think this is an excellent book. This is very useful when learning about synonyms. The author used different colors to denote synonyms throughout the book. For example, he made all the synonyms of the word "laughter" red and synonyms of the word "cleansing" blue. This helps the reader to clearly see which words are synonyms.

Stop and Go, Yes and No by Brian P. Cleary

Stop and Go, Yes and No by Brian P. Cleary

This is an information book for elementary to intermediate grades. This book explains the meaning of antonyms by a combination of poetry in rhyme and use antonyms. The cartoon illustration help the reader visualize the opposite words; from top to bottom, front and back, black and white, etc.
This book has no plot, characters, etc. The style of this book is designed in a very interesting way, though. The author is very clever in linking words with the art of illustrator to convey meaning. Without pictures, words, rhyming poetry, would be difficult to understand. The author strengthens the sense of the antonym word on each page, with such things as use of juxtaposition (Ex. Place the words "high" and "low" accordingly on the page.)
This book is a good example of information in that it is about the definition of a word, however, the illustrations are not real. The book does not include the referenced work quotes, but that was not necessary for this book. This book takes an unconventional approach to information issues.
This book could be used in lessons on antonyms, synonyms, etc.
This book could be used in the units in which students study literary devices and other aspects of writing in order to analyze the business and the direction of the author.

No No Yes Yes (Leslie Patricelli board books) by Leslie Patricelli

This is a book that forms the basis of the good and the bad behavior of some children. The message is very simple, with just the word "no" and "yes" on each page; This shows the complete picture. For example, spread to portray "no" to the baby using a crayon on the wall and "yes" to baby sit at a table and drawing on paper. I find it works best to extend a simple language with a more detailed explanation. For example "No, baby, we do not paint on the walls. Yeah baby, I paint on paper. "Toddler in my class love this book so much that they are truly asking for it by name. (A name that is easy to help, I think!) On the downside, this book may end up teaching the children some negative behavior, they never thought of themselves. But hopefully it will work to remind the children of some basic rules. And safety tips I do not like to worry about "no" that shows an infant bath toys - what luck has not been a problem in my classroom. However, I found that after reading this book children into the bathroom and said. "No, no, we do not put the toy in baby potty. We sit on the potty! "Obviously, they remember it and they still remembered what they should and should not do!

Very similar to the title of Hanukkah, except, of course, about Christmas.
