Review: The is an enjoyable read. Every teacher should have this book in their own collection of professional development materials. It is timeless. The book sends a clear message from the first few pages, "Use what you have got!" There is no magic or mystery. I couldn't wait to turn the next page to see what Esme had to say next! Thank you for your wonderful ideas.

Summary: I was once reluctant to read other authors material.
Review: Well, I don't know how I got into it, and I don't know how I got out of it.
But it seems that my desire for knowledge has destroyed the seed of doubt that I had.
Books, CDs, DVDs - are all good and exist for a reason. I don't mean that you should pick up every piece of media that you would like to see. But there is always caution in what one should buy.
As for your kids, they will be protected in whatever they see, so don't try to be a blockage of what desires they have in their heart. Warn them gently and God takes care of the rest.
-Calvin Newman
ps. My niece has an strong sense of what is good and what is bad. God does this. And so shall it be with your kids.

This book has so many different ideas, so many different books, so many different stories to tell in itself.....
It's a great book, Esme! I know how lucky I am to own one!
Keep up the fantastic work!

Summary: Reading Resource Extraordinaire!
Review: What a fun, cleverly written book! Codell's writing is inspiring as well as informative. She provides tons and tons of ideas for reading materials on all manners of topics from social studies to bath time. But she doesn't stop there! She also includes clever ideas to make reading come to life for kids. As an avid lover of resource and child education books, I admit I only own few but this one is a keeper. I would recommend this for parents of infants through early elementary students. If you are looking for reading material to augment your child's life experiences or classroom experiences, I believe this book would be a valuable asset. Happy Reading!
