This picture book is great for students at a beginner level. It is a short story about a young boy who is having trouble finding his favorite storytime book. He finds toy after toy until his father finally helps him find it. I would love to introduce this book to a class of kindergartners who are starting to read and ask them if they understand what is going on by looking at the pictures.

An enjoyable twist on the classic Cinderella tale but with several unanswered questions even at story's end... hence the 4 vs 5 rating. Mainly, WHO IS CECILY?!?! *ahem* Anywho... it's a story the reminds us that everyone gets lost sometimes, blinded by brain versus heart, but kindness will never serve you wrong in the end. Discover the magic between the pages of this charming tale.

An easy reader about a girl called Vicky who keeps getting in trouble with her parents ( unlike her star older brother and cute baby sister). After being caught after sneaking out one night when she is grounded, her father tells her to either follow his rules or move out. Vicky takes the second option and runs away. She then spends months on the streets relying on soup kitchens, the Salvos and other charity - avoiding the advances of other street people and never staying in one place longer than she has to. Then she gets a "job" at a Strawberry Farm picking strawberries and meets the grumpy Red who hangs around suspiciously. What is his game?

A tiny bit dated ( written in 2002) as the use of payphones is still mentioned, but apart from that a suspenseful story without complex language and short in length. ( 120p plus large illustrations) Would be ok for older ESL students.

This book is about water. I liked this book because as a nonfiction book about water, it was very organized with its information. The book provided many photographic pictures as well as graphic organizers that go along with the facts and information. For example, on pg. 22, the author informed readers about the different states of water (liquid, ice, gas) in a visual.
