Summary: Closing one chapter, opening another.....
Review: I am an elementary guidance counselor, responsible for planning our promotion program yearly for our fifth grade students as they move to middle school. I'm always looking for meaningful things to add to the ceremony, traditions the kids will look back on with happy memories. We do a lot in my school with "Oh the Places You'll Go..." so I was looking for something of this genre to use. "Yay, You" is just the right length. I read it to the kids just before the ceremony and then include a quick reading as a prelude to the processional out of the gym. Because the kids have heard it already, they know what is coming. The parents and guests absorb the meaning of the "moving up, moving out" very well. It's WONDERFUL and a number of parents have purchased it for their children to commemorate the event. It is indeed now a tradition.

Summary: Yay Sandra Boynton!
Review: I love this book! I fell in love with the cow doing yoga (OOM!). I bought 3 copies for friends who not only also think that's hysterical, but also are going through changes in their lives. While it's geared for the college bound, real world bound, my friends and I are a few years past that and it still applies to us. Pass this book along to anyone, regardless of age, going through a big change in their lives. They'll appreciate it. OOM.

Summary: Really great book
Review: I received two books from my mom for an early graduation present and Yay, You! was one of them. I thought the title was weird but I loved reading this book. It was easy to read and it gave me lots of helpfull tips for heading off to college My mom also gave me Major In Success by Patrick Combs and I found it to be just as helpful. After reading both these books I feel set for college.

Summary: One Big Happy and Hearty Congratulations...
Review: Sandra Boynton has truly outdone herself with her celebratory Yay, You! Told in rhyme and full of love and pride, this little gem of a book first congratulates, "You did it!/You're done!/You made it!/You're through!", and then takes a joyful look at what's ahead, "Oh, what a great moment!/Now what will you do?/There are so many choices./The world is immense./Take a good look around/and decide what makes sense." Ms Boynton's uplifting message is light and fun and complemented by her familiar and charming, silly animal illustrations. So put a smile on every graduate's face, celebrate their success and let them know that whether you're in a hurry to get started on the rest of your life, or need to stop awhile and smell the roses, "Whatever you do,/whether near or so far,/I know you'll be great./You already are.

Summary: Yay You!
Review: This is a great book for a new graduate or anyone embarking on a new life style. Even though I'm not thrilled with the spelling of the title I still liked this book enough to give it as a graduation gift. It's short but sweet, and covers just about everything, from careers to friends. I especially love the page where you may choose to ponder your thighs (although men may not relate) and the pages about many friends or only a few or some with a different point of view. The illustrations are adorable (they are definitely what made me take a second look). If your looking for a graduation book other than the old stand-by this could be it for you.

Summary: Hanukkah A Counting Book
Review: This is a great book!! As a Hebrew school teacher I have used this creative book, with its beautifully illustrated pages, to teach the story of Hanukkah, the rules for playing dreidel and counting in Hebrew (and even Yiddish). When the parents in my class learned about the book, they immediately went out and bought it to add to their Judaica home libraries. It makes a wonderful Hanukkah gift.
