Grade 3 Up-The same little blue engine "that could" is back, with a new author and illustrator. This time it is encouraging readers to choose the track that best suits their interests and talents and forge ahead on life's journey. Dorfman suggests that though there will be "deep river valleys" and "high mountaintops," dark tunnels and uncharted territory, "I think I can" should be their clarion cry. The rhyming text often does not scan and forced rhymes such as "toured"/"aboard" are sprinkled throughout. Ong's illustrations feature pastel colors and a train that looks very much like its forebear. Children and adults of different ethnic groups and genders greet it on its route. While this is a pleasant book with a much-needed message of confidence and perseverance, that message can only be understood by older children and adults. To pair it with illustrations that have a definitely "young" look makes for an uncomfortable fit. And this text breaks no ground that has not already been mined in Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go! (Random, 1990). Although "I think I can" has entered into the American lexicon and conjures up pleasant memories of the earlier book, this one is an additional purchase at best, especially if the Seuss book is on the shelf.Marianne Saccardi, Norwalk Community College, CTCopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.Watty Piper's classic The Little Engine That Could has delighted and encouraged children for more than seventy years.; Title: I Knew You Could!: A Book for All the Stops in Your Life (The Little Engine That Could)

Grade 4-6Zenda lives on Azureblue, a planet where each youth receives a gazing ball that reveals his or her lifelong magical skill. She participates in a scheme to peek at hers before the ceremony and it shatters. With sound guidance from her parents and a helpful psychic, she figures out how to start restoring it and finds the first of the 13 crystal fragments. Zenda is a likable yet flawed heroine, tending toward poor decisions and histrionics, but able to accept reasonable consequences. The authors set a brisk pace, keeping the focus on the protagonist and her story. Although this book doesn't have the dense atmosphere of many successful fantasies, it does have a lighthearted quality that affirms the girl's sense of intelligence and responsibility. Zenda is for those who prefer a fantasy with a New Age bent.Pat Leach, Lincoln City Libraries, NE Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Reviewed with Ken Petti's Zenda.Gr. 4-7. Gazing Ball sets the scene: children on Azureblue receive gazing balls at birth, but the powerful balls, which reveal 13 messages about a child's destiny, are locked away until a child is 12 1/2 years old. Headstrong Zenda can't resist sneaking in to look at the balls, and when she handles hers, it shatters into 13 pieces that immediately disappear. A desperate attempt to recover the shards nearly ends in disaster before Zenda comes to understand the consequences of her actions and mysteriously receives the first shard and its magical message. In A New Dimension, Zenda is mysteriously transported to a parallel world where all her problems appear to have been solved. Unfortunately, that's not quite the case, but Zenda learns from her mistakes and is awarded two more shards. The adult characters are stereotypic and the plot is a disconcerting fusion of New Age fantasy and the antics of middle-school girls. It's the intriguing premise and tantalizing hints about Zenda's future that will hook many preteen girls. Chris ShermanCopyright American Library Association.

Grade 2-4-The premise is fantastical-a third-grade girl wishes she were someone else, a wind blows up, and she becomes someone or something else. In just 70-odd pages, Katie solves big problems at school, just by her "switcheroos." In Anyone but Me, her tenure as a hamster gives her insight into the class bully (who turns out to be afraid of hamsters), and he is transformed into a nice boy who loves to tell jokes and riddles. In Out to Lunch, she turns into the nasty cafeteria woman, causes a food fight, and comes up with a way to change the quality of the food. This series could be a feminine contender to rival Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" series (Scholastic), but the writing is not of the same caliber and the characters are less well drawn. It's also more purposeful and less fun.Kay Bowes, Concord Pike Library, Wilmington, DE Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.Nancy Krulik is the author of many media-related books for young adults, including The New York Times best-seller Leonardo DiCaprio for Archway.; Title: Out to Lunch #2 (Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo)

Grade 1-3-The conceit behind these biographies is that they were written by elementary-grade students as reports on the painters. Each book opens with a letter from their teacher, "Ms. Brandt," outlining some questions the student might want to think about when preparing the assignment: why did you pick this artist; if you could ask him or her three questions what would they be; and did you learn anything that surprised you? Unfortunately, the end results are cluttered pages and possibly confusing content. While each book includes facts about the subject's life (birth date and place, childhood, work, etc.), it also incorporates little bits of information about the child who is writing the report. For example, Kristin, the "author" of Degas, includes her own self-portrait next to the artist's. The material presented on each subject is strictly biographical; there is no discussion of the artists' technique or place in art history. Colorful pages and lettering highlight the many reproductions, photographs, childlike drawings, and snippets of text. The "Getting to Know the World's Great Artists" series (Children's) presents solid factual information along with reproductions. However, for an engaging introduction to an artist by a fictional character, steer readers to Christina Bj?rk's Linnea in Monet's Garden (R & S, 1987) or Neil Waldman's appealing The Starry Night (Boyds Mills, 2001).Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.*Starred Review* Reviewed with Marryann Cocca-Leffler's Edgar Degas.Gr. 2-4, younger for reading aloud. Like the books in Mike Venezia's Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists series, these winning biographies in the Smart about Art series feature lively cartoon drawings as they introduce artists. Written in the voice of a young student, Kristin Cole, and presented in the format of a school report, the books recount events in each artist's life and offer insight into his work, using charming childlike drawings and reproductions of the artist's paintings in scrapbook-style layouts to illustrate both the stories and the artistic explanations. The result is a successful blend of fact and humor that makes sophisticated concepts completely accessible and even entertaining. Impressionism, for example, is explained through juxtaposed photos of light shifting over landscapes and close-ups of brush strokes. Artists' quotes and plenty of sassy asides add to the easy, substantive appeal. of these books, which are sure to spark children's curiosity for individual interest or for their own reports.

Reviewed with Ken Petti's Zenda and the Gazing Ball.Gr. 4-7. Gazing Ball sets the scene: children on Azureblue receive gazing balls at birth, but the powerful balls, which reveal 13 messages about a child's destiny, are locked away until a child is 12 1/2 years old. Headstrong Zenda can't resist sneaking in to look at the balls, and when she handles hers, it shatters into 13 pieces that immediately disappear. A desperate attempt to recover the shards nearly ends in disaster before Zenda comes to understand the consequences of her actions and mysteriously receives the first shard and its magical message. In A New Dimension, Zenda is mysteriously transported to a parallel world where all her problems appear to have been solved. Unfortunately, that's not quite the case, but Zenda learns from her mistakes and is awarded two more shards. The adult characters are stereotypic and the plot is a disconcerting fusion of New Age fantasy and the antics of middle-school girls. It's the intriguing premise and tantalizing hints about Zenda's future that will hook many preteen girls. Chris ShermanCopyright American Library Association.

Grade 2-4-This straightforward account focuses on the racehorse's rise from "a big disappointment" in spite of his excellent bloodlines to a great champion and symbol of hope during the Great Depression. The authors cover the basics, describing how Seabiscuit's looks left a lot to be desired, his odd sleeping habits, and the fact that he was difficult to handle until he acquired some unusual companions, including a spider monkey. They also detail the horse's attempts to win the Santa Anita Handicap in California, a victory that alluded him for years. Only Seabiscuit's trainer, Tom Smith, is mentioned by name. The lively text will keep readers' interest as they follow this amazing animal's life. The soft-toned realistic illustrations and occasional black-and-white photographs nicely complement the story. This easy-reader would make an excellent companion to Kat Shehata's Seabiscuit vs. War Admiral (Angel Bea, 2003); both books provide solid information for short reports.-Carol Schene, Taunton Public Schools, MA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Gr. 1-3. Close on the heels of the movie Seabiscuit, this offers emerging readers a brief recounting of this racehorse's life. The Dubowskis explain that despite being the offspring of racing champions, Seabiscuit, small, overweight, and with crooked forelegs, never won a race during his first two seasons and spent more time sleeping than running until trainer Tom Smith gave him a second chance. Through hard work, the horse eventually won 33 races in six years. Rowe's many realistic illustrations, accompanied by some period photos, capture the sports action as well as the personalities of both horse and trainer. The use of a fairly restricted color palette (grays, browns, and pink accents) gives the feeling that some of the pictures are actually colorized photos. Pair this with Barbara Libby's I Rode the Red Horse: Secretariat's Belmont Race (2003) for another look at a famous racehorse. Kay WeismanCopyright American Library Association.

Gr. 4-7. From the Smart about History series, this book is similar to other recent titles that quickly delineate the presidents with cartoon-style illustrations and a few fast, fun facts. However, this also presents a paragraph or so of solid information along with the fluff. Students will learn, for example, that Jimmy Carter was humble, honest, and down-to-earth--just what the country needed after Watergate. They will also find out about the taking of the hostages in Iran and that Carter negotiated a treaty between the Egyptians and the Israelis. Each president also gets a few lines about his life before the presidency. All in all, there's a surprising amount of information offered in a kid-friendly style. The artwork is better than average, and although it's played for fun, it's not disrespectful. Different fonts and a peppy layout add appeal. A bibliography, a map showing where the presidents were born, and spreads on White House kids, First Ladies, and more are appended. An easy way to interest kids in the presidency.

Henry Winkler is an acomplished actor, producer and director.  In 2003, Henry added author to his list of acheivements as he co-authored a series of children's books.  Inspired by the true life experiences of Henry Winkler, whose undiagnosed dyslexia made him a classic childhood underachiever, the Hank Zipzer series is about the high-spirited and funny adventures of a boy with learning differences.Henry is married to Stacey Weitzman and they have three children.CHAPTER ONE"Itchy knee," Ms. Adolf said, staring at me like I knew what on earth she was talking about.Her Ms. Adolf stood there next to my desk, tapping her foot impatiently. squinty gray eyes peeped out from behind her gray glasses.   I could tell she wanted me to say something, but my mind was totally blank."What comes next, Henry?" she asked.What do you say after itchy knee?   Rashy ankle?   Scratchy elbow?I wasn't in the mood for riddles. My head was still spinning from the math test I had just taken.We had just finished our Unit Four math test on fractions, and I don't mind telling you, it was the most confusing test I had ever taken.   Math isn't my idea of fun to begin with.   And tests, unit or otherwise, definitely don't make it onto my top ten list of "Things to Look Forward To on a Monday Morning."    I guess if I was like our class genius Heather Payne, who has never gotten anything lower than an A on any test, I might have a different opinion of tests.   But when your highest grade ever on a math test is a D plus---well, that kind of sucks any possible fun right out of the picture.  And fractions, who invented them anyway?   Probably the same guy who invented decimal points.   I don't get the point of either fractions or decimal points.  I don't get the point of decimal points.   Hey, that's not bad.   Way to make yourself laugh, Hank Zipzer!I must have spaced out for a second, enjoying my little joke, because suddenly I heard Ms. Adolf speaking to me.  "Henry," she barked. "Did you hear me?   I said itchy knee .   Do you know what comes after that?"I looked down at my knee.   Now that she brought it up, I noticed that it was itching a bit.   But how could Ms. Adolf could possibly know that?   Oh no!   Maybe she had invented a secret itch detector device and tucked it in the waistband of her grey skirt.   Maybe at this very minute, she was scanning everyone in the class for mosquito bites or patches of itchy dry skin.   Wow, that thought gave me the creeps.   If there's one thing you don't want, it's your fourth grade teacher secretly detecting your private skin conditions.Ms. Adolf was still staring at me.   Not so much staring as glaring, burning two holes into my forehead.   She wasn't going to back down on this knee thing until I answered."Actually, I do have kind of an itchy knee," I finally said.   "On a scale of one to ten, with one being "no itch" and ten being "it itches so bad that you have to scratch for an hour," I'd say it itches three."Everyone in the class burst out laughing."I can't believe you, Zipper Zit!" Nick McKelty howled from the row in back of me, blasting out a stream of his rotten egg breath.   "You are as dumb as a..."I guess he couldn't come up with the end of that thought, because he suddenly stopped laughing and looked around the classroom in a panic.   His eyes fell on a bulletin board with a poster of a grey whale.    I could almost see his big, slow brain latching on to that poster.  "You're as dumb as a whale," McKelty said, looking real proud that he had finished his thought.  "That shows how much you know, McKelty," my best friend Frankie Townsend shot back at him.   "Whales are extremely intelligent life forms.""Unlike you, Nick," my other best friend Ashley Wong chimed in.  Ashley and Frankie live in my apartment building and we hang out together all the time.   We've been best friends since pre-school.   Trust me, no one can say something mean to one of us without hearing from the other two.  Ms. Adolf clapped her hands three times, which she does when we're talking out of turn without raising our hands.   If you talk after that, you get sent to Principal Love's office for one of his boring lectures about how great it is to have self control, because without it, you'll spin into outer space.   No one wanted to visit Principal Love, so we all shut up fast.  "I wasn't saying itchy knee, Henry," Ms. Adolf said, turning back to me.   "I was saying ee-chee, nee .   That's counting in Japanese.   Ee-chee is one, and nee is two."Why didn't she just say that at the beginning?   How was I supposed to know she was spewing Japanese?   Do I look like I live in Tokyo?"Does anyone know what comes after ee-chee, nee?" she asked."Why don't you ask Ashley Wong?" McKelty hollered out.   "I'll bet she speaks Japanese."Ashley pushed her glasses up on her nose and started twirling her pony tail, like she does when she's mad.  "For you information, I'm not Japanese," she said.   "My parents are from China.   And here's some breaking news for you, McKelty.   Japan and China are two entirely different countries.""No reason to get so steamed up about it," McKelty muttered.  I thought Ashley was going to wind up and smash her fist into McKelty's arm, but Ms. Adolf clapped her hands three times again."Pupils," she said. "This is a very good introduction to our topic.   This week we are celebrating Multi-Cultural Day.   Everyone in school is going to be learning about people in other countries.   Our class is going to be cooking foods from around the world for the special banquet lunch."Katie Sperling raised her hand and shook it like she had to go to the bathroom."Yes, Katie," Ms. Adolf said."I hear people in France eat snails," said Katie.  "That's so gross," groaned Kim Paulson."I've eaten a snail," piped up Luke Whitman, whose nickname in our class is Captain Disgusto. "I liked the slimy part but I spit out the antennae.""Eeuuuwww," Katie and Kim both moaned at once.   "There should be a law against Luke."You've got to hand it to Luke, though.   He's the only kid I know who would tell the two prettiest girls in the fourth grade that he spits out snail antennae.    Ms. Adolf just ignored Luke, like she usually does.  "To celebrate Multi-Cultural Day, we have a special treat in store for us," she went on.   I think she actually smiled a little bit, showing a few of her upper teeth.   They were the only thing about her that wasn't gray, but they were on the way to being yellow.   "Our classroom is having a visitor from Japan.   He's in the fourth grade and his name is Yoshi Morimoto. "A visitor.   That sounded interesting.   At least, it sounded much more interesting than the stuff Ms. Adolf usually talks about, like spelling and fractions and note-taking skills."Yoshi's father, Mr. Morimoto, is the principal of our sister school in Tokyo," Ms. Adolf explained.I wasn't sure what a sister school was, but I sure hoped it wasn't anything like my sister Emily.   She sleeps with her eyes open and flosses her teeth at the dinner table.   I wondered if anything that gross went on at our sister school in Tokyo.  "Mr. Morimoto is touring schools in the United States," Ms. Adolf went on.   "He's bringing his son and they're coming to spend two days with us at P.S. 87.""Can I introduce him my tarantula, Mel?" Luke Whitman asked."Absolutely most certainly not!" Ms. Adolf answered.I could see Frankie trying not to laugh.   I knew that he was remembering the exact same thing I was.    Once, Luke had brought Mel to class for Pet Day.   Mel escaped from his cage and climbed up Ms. Adolf's leg.   She screamed so loud you could actually see her tonsils flopping around in the back of her throat.   "To make this visit very special, Mr. Morimoto has agreed to let his son Yoshi sleep over at the home of one of our students," Ms. Adolf went on.     "He wants him to see how a typical fourth grader in New York lives.   We will be picking one of your families to host Yoshi."My ears perked up like my dog Cheerio's do when he hears my dad's favorite opera singers screeching on TV.  I hope they pick my family.   That would be so cool.  I love having guests from other countries.   Well, to be honest, I've only had one.   Vlady, he's the sandwich maker in my mom's deli, spent a week with us when he first moved to New York from Russia and was looking for an apartment.    We had a great time.   He stayed up really late with us, singing this wild Russian song called "Kalinka Malinka" and telling us stories about a circus bear named Igor who followed him to school.The only bad part was when Vlady brought us a jar of caviar to eat.   In case you don't know, caviar is fish eggs.   Most of the time, they're bluish-black.   They're supposed to be a treat, but how can something that smells so, well, fishy be a treat?   When I thought Vlady wasn't looking, I slipped my caviar to our daschund Cheerio.   When Cheerio thought I wasn't looking, he pushed it out our tenth floor window with his nose.   It landed plop on Mrs. Park's air conditioning unit.   It stayed there for three days until a pigeon came by and gobbled it up.   Bye bye, fish eggs."If you would like to volunteer to host Yoshi, please raise your hand now," Ms. Adolf said.  My hand shot up like a rocket.   So did thirty-two others!   In fact, the only person who didn't raise his hand right away was Luke Whitman, and that's because his finger was too far up his nose to get it out in time.  Even though everyone else in the class was volunteering, I thought Ms. Adolf should pick me.   After all, if things got dull, Yoshi and I could sit around and count to two in Japanese.   I could do that, no problem.; Title: Holy Enchilada! #6 (Hank Zipzer)

K-Gr. 2. The five rhymes in this All Aboard Poetry Reader each tell a nonsense story that takes off from daily life. Several are about food. As a boy slurps his noodles, an alien lands in his chicken soup ("He was goopy and green and not too tall. / His spaceship looked like a matzo ball"). Then there's the legendary kid who does everything upside down (he eats with his toes and runs bases on his hands) and is celebrated for it. The sounds of the thumping rhymes help make reading easy, and the big, colorful cartoon-style pictures extend the silliness with everything from that delicious soup bowl to the wild animals that skedaddle from a sneezing elephant on the savanna.

Kate McMullan is the award-winning author of more than seventy-five books for children. She lives in Sag Harbor, New York.Chapter 2"Toads and toadstools!" shouted a voice.Wiglaf knew that voice. "Zelnoc?" he called. "Is that you?"A white-bearded face topped by a pointed hat appeared high in the branches of a gnarly tree."Could be," he said. "Who wants to know?""Wiglaf," said Wiglaf."You again!" cried Zelnoc. The wizard floated down toward the DSA students. His star-speckled robe fluttered in the breeze. "How was my roar?""Loud," said Erica."Scary," said Angus."Ah, good." Zelnoc smiled. "Roaring is wonderful for a wizard's soul. Makes us feel powerful." His face fell. "And I could use some extra power. I'm in a bit of a pickle." He skidded to a halt in front of them, pinwheeling his arms to keep from losing his balance.The wizard didn't look so good. Wiglaf saw that he had dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept in weeks."Zelnoc, what's wrong?" asked Wiglaf.Zelnoc sighed. "Oh, a little spell went wrong. Nothing I can't undo, given time. And a really, really powerful spell-reversal spell.""What spell went wrong, wizard?" asked Erica."The Young Again spell," said Zelnoc. "Zizmor's been working on it for ages. I happened to see his notes lying around his tower the other night. I started messing around, making improvements. When Ziz came in, okay, maybe I shouldn't have tried it out on him. But I wanted to impress him. He is my boss." Zelnoc shook his head. "Now I've got to do a spell-reversal spell. That's the trickiest kind! But if I don't do it--and soon!--the Wizards' Committee will take away my wand!"Wiglaf's heart went out to the troubled wizard. Zelnoc always tried to help when Wiglaf summoned him."We need a spell, Zelnoc," said Wiglaf. "I'll bet you can help us."Erica elbowed him. "Wiggie!" she whispered. "You must be jesting. A spell from Zelnoc is the last thing we need.""We need to get to Hermit Harry's Hut," Wiglaf pointed out."Do you know where that is, wizard?" asked Angus."Doesn't everyone?" Zelnoc pinched his nose as though something smelled really, really bad."We know it's south of Nowhere Swamp," said Wiglaf. "But that's all we know.""You don't need a spell." Zelnoc sighed. "You need directions. Head south. If you cut through Nowhere Swamp, it'll take a day off your journey. But watch out for the quicksand. And the crocs. They're very hungry this time of year."Wiglaf swallowed. "Crocodiles?"Zelnoc nodded. "If you come out of the swamp alive, walk south to where two roads meet. You'll come upon the Crone of the Crossroads. If she's in a bad mood, that's the end of your journey. Buh-bye! But if you make it by her, veer left, past the graveyard--I don't recommend cutting through that --you'll come to the Tower of Mysterious Light. There, take a right--""Wizard, stop!" cried Angus. "Please! Put a get-there-quick spell on us. Can you?""Do warlocks have warts?" replied the wizard. "Do damsels have distress?""Oh, do it!" said Angus. "I don't want to spend the night in the Dark Forest."Erica folded her arms. "No need. We can get there ourselves.""Off you go, then," Zelnoc said. "Oh, and keep to the path. Fewer poisonous snapping turtles there."Erica sighed. "You win, wizard. Do your spell. But it better work.""Worry not!" cried the wizard. "You're going to like this one." Zelnoc pushed up the sleeves of his wizard robe. "They're going to beg me to speak at the next Wizards' Convention after they get a load of this spell. Close your eyes, kiddos. Here we go."Wiglaf closed his eyes. He heard Zelnoc singing:"Flies have 'em,Bees have 'em,Even itchy little fleas have 'em.Now, presto! You'll have 'em, too.Ring-a-ding-a--wings!"As Zelnoc sang, Wiglaf felt his shoulder blades growing. He heard a ripping sound. Was that his DSA tunic? He began to feel dizzy.Zelnoc sang on:"Ducks have 'em,Hens have 'em,Even funny little penguins have 'em.Now, presto! You'll have 'em, too.Ring-a-ding-a--wings!"Wings were sprouting out of Wiglaf's back! He was sure of it. He opened one eye just a crack and saw Zelnoc twirling as he belted out:"Vampire bats in their caves have 'em,Scaly dragons do, too.Wings, baby, you've got 'em,Oh, what Zelnoc can do!""Wizard!" cried Angus. "Stop!"Suddenly, a terrible dizziness overtook Wiglaf. His head whirled. He felt sick. He felt his whole body growing. RRIPPPPP! He felt as if he was bursting through his skin. He felt his neck growing longer. Teeth pushed up out of his gums. His eyeballs felt like inflating balloons. And what was that growing out of his backside? Dizziness took over. Wiglaf felt as if he was falling, falling.Then all was quiet.Wiglaf opened his eyes. He glanced over his shoulder at his back. Yep, he had wings. Not feathery little birdie wings, either. Huge, silvery, scaled wings."Angus?" he called. "Erica?"No answer.Wiglaf looked around. Everything was a blur. He blinked. He thought he saw Angus and Erica. But, no. Those weren't his friends. He blinked again. Now he saw that standing where Angus and Erica had been were two dragons!; Title: the Ghost of Sir Herbert Dungeonstone ((Dragon Slayers' Academy, No.12)

Thompson lives in Massachusetts.Who WasEleanorRoosevelt?Who WasEleanorRoosevelt?To my first ladies: Ena, Vaughan, and Chloe and to the Penguin first ladies, Debra and JaneG.T.For Sophie and TonyE.W.Who Was Eleanor Roosevelt?During the 1930s and early 1940s, Eleanor Roosevelt was our countrys first lady. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was president of the United States then, was her husband. There have been more than forty first ladies of the United States. What made Eleanor Roosevelt so special? Well, for one thing, Eleanor was first lady longer than anyone else was.FDR, as he was called, was elected president four times. Eleanor was first lady for twelve yearsfrom 1933 to 1945, when FDR died. Before Eleanor, first ladies gave dinner parties. They gave teas. But they did not speak out on important issues concerning our country. Thats what the president did.Eleanor Roosevelt, however, worked while she was first lady. She wrote newspaper columns and books. She gave radio interviews and taught classes. She worked hard to help start the United Nations. Eleanor had opinions and shared them with the world. She let people know what she thought about important issues of the time, such as equality for all Americans.Eleanor Roosevelt paved the way for the first ladies who followed her. Now, most first ladies have a cause. Some have focused on the danger of drugs, others have fought for better schools and libraries, and others for health care.Eleanor Roosevelt was a smart and brave first lady. And even after she left the White House, Eleanor continued to work. By the time of her death in 1962, Eleanor Roosevelt was known as the First Lady of the World.Chapter 1Early Years; Title: Who Was Eleanor Roosevelt?

She presently lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two children.Who WasJohn F.Kennedy?Who WasJohn F.Kennedy?To my children, James and KatherineMcDonoughY.Z.M.For Charlotte with loveJ.W.Who Was John F. Kennedy?The small boat sped quickly along in the dark. It was a hot night in August. The thirteen men onboard were quiet and tense. Their mission was a scary one: They were looking for Japanese warships in the Pacific Ocean.Suddenly, there was an explosion.The small boat was ripped in half by a Japanese destroyer returning to its base. Two of the crew were killed instantly. The other eleven men clung to pieces of the boat until morning. Then the wreckage began to sink. The captain decided they all must swim to the safety of a nearby island. The men didnt think they could make it.Will we ever get out of this? asked one.It can be done, replied the captain. Well do it.One of the men was burned so badly that he could not swim. He told the captain to save himself and the other men. But the captain would not leave the wounded man. He swam for five long hours with the burned man on his back. When they reached the island, the captain discovered two natives and a canoe.He also discovered a coconut shell on which he carved these words:NATIVE KNOWS POSITHE CAN PILOT 11 ALIVENEED SMALL BOAT KENNEDYHe gave the shell with the message to the islanders who went by canoe to another island nearly forty miles away. Six days after the patrol boat was destroyed, the brave and quick-thinking captain and his crew were rescued.The captains name was John Fitzgerald Kennedy.Chapter 1Little Boy, Big FamilyOn May 29, 1917, a baby boy was born to Joseph P. Kennedy, a wealthy, Irish-American businessman, and his wife Rose. They named him John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in honor of Roses fatherJohn F.

Gr. 3-5. In the ninth book in the Hank Zipzer series, the self-styled "world's greatest underachiever" is trying yet again to please his father and keep the class bully at bay. The school's Parade of Athletes is drawing near, and Hank just wants to opt out. His learning disabilities make eye-hand coordination difficult, which causes him no end of embarrassment. It's not until Grandpa Pete introduces the fifth-grader to ping-pong that he finally discovers that sports can be fun. The Hank books haven't the depth of Jack Gantos' Joey Pigza novels, but they're fun without being overly messagey, and the success experience will speak to numerous readers.
