When Did Indians Become Straight?: Kinship, the History of Sexuality, and Native Sovereignty by Mark Rifkin

[really more like 3.5 stars] A very thoughtful and thorough book, though I think Rifkin gets caught up sometimes in the complexity of his own thoughts (especially given the amount he uses "said another way" as a construction--enough that I took note of it!) Some really interesting and useful pieces in here, especially surrounding the bribe of straightness, but I don't know that I would use it in a classroom per se, just because I think there are other things going on. Might use the show more introduction in excerpt though, since it has some really interesting things to say about sovereignty! But definitely worth your time to read though. show less

The Villains Collection by Todd Strasser

Young readers who revel in the devious actions of Disney’s villains will find much to appreciate here. Eight of the vilest villains . . . The Wicked Queen-Witch, Jafar, Cruella De Vil, Captain Hook, Maleficent, Stromboli, Ursula, and Gaston . . . are at their most sinister. Each encounter offers readers a poem and recounting of the height of their villainy; full-color illustrations accompany each section, and young readers will be delighted to see the mug shot for each of the dastardly show more evil-doers.

Return to the magic of each film and relive each character’s moments of weakness . . . it’s great fun for Disney fans young and old.

Highly recommended. show less
