Best known for the ever popular Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel and the Caldecott Medal winner The Little House, Virginia Lee Burton wrote and illustrated stories that have been entertaining children, parents, and grandparents for more than sixty years. Many of her books—with themes that honor a simple way of life and celebrate heroes who endure through determination and by adapting to change—have become classic American tales. With an introduction by Barbara Elleman, author of Virginia Lee Burton: A Life in Art,this handsome collection commemorates four of Burton’s most popular stories, each featured complete and unabridged. Their appeal today, as strong as when the books were first published, is a tribute to one of America’s most innovative illustrators, designers, and writers of stories for children.
A highly original non-fiction guide on waste and the environment
for a young audience. Your Planet Needs You! is packed with simple
and entertaining ways that kids and their families can reduce,
re-use, recycle, renew and REALLY GET INVOLVED in cleaning up our
planet. Nobody really likes to think about rubbish (pee-ew!). But
whether you know it or not, waste is part of everyone’s lives.
Each year, a single person can create up to a tonne of waste.
That’s the equivalent weight of a small hippo! Where does waste
come from? Where does it end up? And what can we do to help our
planet? Renowned picture book creator Philip Bunting answers all
these questions and more in this entertaining and enlightening look
at how to wallop waste and reduce rubbish. Learn how to start a
compost bin, or how to use an old egg carton to sprout your very
own seedlings. Get tips on cool things you can do with empty tin
cans or an old pair of socks, and discover how long different
things take to decompose – from an apple core to a gumboot to a
plastic bag. With a positive outlook and a generous dollop of
humour, Your Planet Needs You! shows that taking care of our
environment can be both fun and rewarding. You can be the change!
Your planet needs you! For ages 4 and up.

Category Description for Kumon Math Workbooks (1-6):
A math program based on the Kumon method. Basically, the earmarks of
this system are:
- Concepts introduced in small, incremental steps, allowing
children to master them without confusion
- Single topic books rather than mixed strands. Children
concentrate just on addition, for example, before moving to subtraction
- Concepts are taught by discovery method than being spelled
out
The series is meant to be self-directed. Students take charge of their
own learning on every level. They complete pages, check their work,
record their scores, and determine whether to move on or review. The
pace almost guarantees success. Children should work a "few" pages a
day; assignments should take about 20 minutes to complete. Pages are
marked with the skill level required at top and the points each
question is valued at (a very young child will need some help totaling
points). Very short instruction (or an example) is given on a few
pages. For example, there is a short explanation when children begin to
subtract a 2-digit number from a 3-digit number where borrowing is
needed. However, the child is given every opportunity to intuit this
beforehand. By the time he reaches this page, he has already been
subtracting double-digit numbers for many pages. Some of these would
require borrowing, but, since they are able to subtract, say, 7 from
12, the Kumon method wants the child to see a pattern when increasing
to 7 from 22, 7 from 32, etc. This does remind me of the approach used
in Miquon as well. Besides these very infrequent helps there are just
some small prompts for children to look for patterns in their answers,
and words of encouragement. Pages are pleasing to the eye; they are
colored, clean, and problems are well-spaced. The Kumon method has been
used successfully with children around the world for over 50 years. It
does seem like it would help a child to take charge of his own learning
and help himself to understanding rather than being spoon-fed each
bite. For Kumon math earlier than Grade 1, see the Kumon section in
Early Learning.

This beautifully illustrated picture book explores the story of the
First Easter. It starts with events from the life of Jesus so
children can understand who Jesus is and understand the context of
Easter. The book ends with the resurrection and the good news that
was declared on that First Easter Day in the morning.
The children always played in the Giant's garden, but when he
returned after years away, he said, 'What are you doing here?' and
the children fled.'My own garden is my own garden,' said the Giant;
'anyone can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it
but myself.' Oscar Wilde's classic tale of compassion and
forgiveness is one of the most beautiful stories in the English
language. With magnificent illustrations by Ritva Voutila, this is
a book for the whole family to treasure.
