31,004 | 19 | Grade 48Divided into four sections ("Cookies and Baked Goods," "Doughs," "Cakes," and "Pastries"), this volume has more than 50 recipes and an attractive and colorful design. The majority of the dishes are sweet, with several savories also included. Recipes are clearly labeled for difficulty, prep time, and cooking time. In addition, there are safety tips, cleanliness advice, a decent glossary, and a spread with decoration ideas. Variations are given for many of the dishes, a feature that might spark individual creativity. The wonderful photographs clearly show many of the steps of the sometimes complicated but tasty-looking recipes. With so much going for it, it's too bad that a close look reveals some detail problems. In the front matter, the author states that the recipes provide both Imperial and metric measurements, which doesn't translate well in every case. For instance, the one for cornbread calls for 4 oz (125 g) of cornmeal or polenta. This leads to a volume vs. weight debate, and, since a kitchen scale is not specified in the list of tools needed, the cook might assume that it mean half a cupor does it? Is white bread flour the same as white flour? Will a recipe for marble cake that's made in an eight-inch square cake pan really make 25 servings? Should a recipe for pizza dough that requires 7-10 minutes of kneading be labeled "Easy"? In any case, if you have Rose Dunnington's Bake It Up!: Desserts, Breads, Entire Meals & More (Sterling, 2007), you're in good shape and can take a pass on this one.Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL (c) Copyright 2010.

31,008 | 12 | Gr 5-7This handsome revision features more than 3000 photographs, maps, time lines, and illustrations. Alphabetical listings range from one to four pages and cover such subjects as the Abolitionist Movement and Colonial America. Among the biographical profiles are articles on Alexander the Great, Thomas Edison, Nelson Mandela, and Harriet Tubman. Key presidents such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy have their own entries; Barack Obama is featured with a sentence and color photo on the African Americans page. While subjects span a wide array of disciplines, individual entries seem somewhat arbitrary; Alexander Graham Bell, John Adams, and Sojourner Truth, for example, are not included. Each article begins with a one-paragraph general summary in large font along with four or five archival photos/prints and original illustrations with informative captions on several subtopics such as: Yellow Star, Ghettos, Final Solution, Anne Frank, and Resistance for the Holocaust. Cross-references under this entry include Israel, Judaism, and World War II. (None of the subtopics is indexed.) While most entries provide limited information, the attractive format encourages browsing. The companion website offers several links to sites that provide related history, time lines, and stories suitable for this age group. This title would be appropriate for middle grade libraries needing a one-volume pictorial encyclopedia; The New Children's Encyclopedia (DK, 2009) is a better choice for the elementary grades.Barbara Auerbach, PS 217, Brooklyn, NY Copyright 2010.

31,011 | 1 | Kindergarten-Grade 4 This is a colorful, informative, and engaging book about keeping insects if not as pets, then as creatures worthy of intense study. The introduction, Welcome to the Bug Zoo!! promises cannibalism, murder, and chemical warfare, all to take place in a common jar. The book is well organized after an initial inventory of Zoo tools ranging in sophistication from a plastic spoon to a USB microscope, Baker introduces the different insects most youngsters are likely to encounter. He then details the best way to create an appropriate habitat, which should also provide optimal observation opportunities. Key symbols appear throughout, alerting readers when the information pertains to finding the bugs or feeding them, and whether parental assistance is needed. The author also provides instruction on ways to tag the creatures for observational and note-taking purposes. Baker's enthusiasm for the subject is evident throughout. Because it provides interesting facts about insects as well as how-to tips, this title will find an audience with curious readers and would-be zookeepers alike. It may even intrigue avowed entomophobes. Kara Schaff Dean, Walpole Public Library, MA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Lets face it, kids love bugs. While insect-identification books abound, there is a curious lack of practical guides to catching and keeping them. The Discovery Channels naturalist Nick Baker opens this book with information on equipment and techniques for capturing and caring for insects, followed by sections focusing on 13 different bugs. Each section includes facts about the bugs, along with fascinating close-up photos and easy-to-follow instructions on how to approach them, how to build a suitable habitat, and what to feed them. Also included are suggestions for interesting things to observe with each creature. The habitats are relatively easy to construct (with a little adult help for the youngest aspiring entomologist), and the bugs discussed are readily available in most areas. The 13 featured species include worms, slugs, earwigs, ladybugs, crickets, wood lice, and mosquito larvae. The photographs, accessible information, and amusing line illustrations make this a great browsing choice, while Bakers enthusiasm is contagious. Grades 2-4. --Lynn Rutan; Title: Bug Zoo | [

31,017 | 12 | Gr 4-6An eye-catching, if not exemplary, alternative for older single-volume compendia on the extraterrestrial universe such as David A. Aguilar's Planets, Stars, and Galaxies (National Geographic, 2007). Space is a substantial outing that wedges hundreds of digestible blocks of text in at least three different type sizes and levels of detail on or around a huge array of space photos and art. Presented largely in the customary single-topic spreads, coverage is very broad, ranging from the practice of astronomy and the history of our ventures into space to the components of the solar system and of the cosmos at large. Earth, the Moon, and the Sun come in for full sections of their own, topics of recent interest such as Space Tourism and Space Debris earn spreads, and the information is current enough to include a reference to the mid-2009 installation of a new camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. The pictures are total eye candy, sharply reproduced on black backgrounds, varying in size from a few inches square to dramatic full spreads, and offering everything from sky maps and deep-space fields millions of light years across to cutaway views of spacecraft and close-ups of astronaut food. Still, that level of visual appeal is now common in nonfiction, the amount of material here that is new or not easily available elsewhere is relatively small, and the lack of any resource lists make this more suitable for casual enquiry and browsing than systematic study.John Peters, formerly at New York Public Library. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.From planet earth to the far reaches of the universe, this encyclopedia provides the opportunity for readers to explore space. Information is divided into nine sections, beginning with Observing the Universe, which covers a definition of space, a history of viewing the stars, telescopes, and observatories. Other chapters include The Violent Universe, Solar System, Earth, The Moon, and The Sun. Liftoff features information on space shuttles, satellites, and rockets. Humans in Space discusses our exploration of the universe (animals in space, space stations, and the future of space exploration). A final Stars and Stargazing section describes stars, other solar systems, and what you can see in the night sky. Within each section, topics are examined on two-page spreads featuring a typical DK layout: title, large-font introductory paragraph, several medium-sized-font paragraphs of supporting information, and numerous photographs with captions that provide additional details. Though there is plenty of detail to keep would-be astronauts engaged, the illustrative material is obviously the highlight of this volume. The stunning full-color photographs and visuals, courtesy of NASA and high-tech telescopes from around the world, show detail and clarity. This work will find popularity with space enthusiasts and browsers alike, although report writers will need additional research sources if focusing on only one topic. Because of the relatively low cost, public libraries will likely want more than one copy. Junior- and senior-high-schools where astronomy is studied will want to consider purchase for their library or science department. Grades 7-12. --Shauna Yusko; Title: Space: A Visual Encyclopedia | [

31,021 | 18 | Gr 4-6If Waldo, of striped shirt and concealed fame, had been set loose into the history of global exploration, this book would be the result. Each spreadcovering one era, continent, route, or explorerexplodes from the page in riotous, cartoonish joy. The Brainwaves, small humanoids, flit among the illustrations, serving up puns and other goofy jokes. The detail in the drawings ensures that re-readings will uncover new treasures. Beneath the overwhelming wackiness, the material is impressively comprehensive: each continent is discussed, as well as outer space, the oceans' depths, and other arenas subject to humankind's further examination. For those unaccustomed to a graphic free-for-all, it can be difficult to decipher the proper order for each spread's generous offering of text snippets; the time line of major events in the back of the book, including the named eras in which they occurred, helps clear up many chronological questions. Marc Aronson and John W. Glenn's The World Made New (National Geographic, 2007) covers much of the same ground, but in a more academic and research-friendly manner. Still, with its well-conceived table of contents and a vast glossary and index, children with specific questions will find the answers they seek in Chrisp's title.Rebecca Dash, New York Public Library Copyright 2010.

31,033 | 13 | Grade 36Concise summaries and eye-catching photography are combined in this chronological look at music "from the first hum" to digital recording and reactable electronic instruments. The book explores the nature of music, its origins, and varied sounds. The organization creates a useful resource for research as well as for casual browsing with coded pages for instrument and composer profiles, styles, and performances within three major time periods: early music, classical (Western civilization) music, and modern music. Readers searching for instrumentation will find early folk instruments from around the world (including the Australian didgeridoo and Chinese pipa) and numerous pages describing the full orchestra and individual instrument families. The book also addresses dance, musicals, opera, and styles of the modern era. While the information is succinct, there is enough depth for basic information and unusual facts, and the narrative branches out far beyond the same four to eight composers found in the usual introductions for this age group. Readers will find recognizable names from current artists (Lady Gaga), popular artists and styles from the last century (Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Andres Segovia) and may trace the evolution of Western musical style through film, recorded music, musicals, and popular culture. Thirty-five musical highlights are included on the CDfor example, the sound of pan pipes, Debussy's Clair de Lune arranged for harp, or the overture from Figaroeach tagged by an icon and explanation within the book, provide teaching and listening aids.

31,066 | 15 | Gr 3-4-This oversize, heavy board book has foldout pages that reveal large realistic illustrations of dinosaurs when open, and an assortment of pertinent facts/factoids when closed. While hefty, it contains a mere seven Jurassic/Cretaceous creatures, ranging in size from the modest Euoplocephalus through the larger Corythosaurus to the truly huge Barosaurus. The snippets of data on the folded flaps include physical information, global location maps, diet, an introduction to the paleontologist who first discovered each dino (complete with picture), and an introductory paragraph. This will be a sure hit with young dinophiles (older kids may want a bit more data), but be prepared (be very prepared) to use lots of reinforcing tape on the folds and the binding.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY(c) Copyright 2011.

31,085 | 2 | Grade 1-3--Mr. Wooden the owl gives his two pupils, Inch the inchworm and Miles the mouse, one final assignment before summer vacation--to define success. To put them on the right track, his whistle takes the two students on a magical adventure in which they meet different animals and explore the various components of success. For example, the ant equates it with hard work while, a few pages later, the dog defines it as loyalty. Some of the explanations are a little baffling--the eagle asserts that success requires poise, which means, "be yourself." This hardly explains the concept of poise for children. Except for Inch, Miles, and the narrator, all of the characters speak almost entirely in rhyming couplets, but the rhythm is sometimes off: "The energy and pep you show/will rub off on those you know." The bright cartoon illustrations done in thick oil paint may grab readers' attention, but overall the book will turn off its audience. The pages are extremely text heavy, and the small font is often hard to read on the bright backgrounds. Adult fans may appreciate Coach Wooden's desire to motivate kids, but children themselves will likely find this preachy package uninspiring and a few components short of a success.--Julie Roach, Malden Public Library, MA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

31,093 | 2 | Grade 8 Up-This sequel to Insatiable (Health Communications, 2001) continues the interconnected stories about members of an eating-disorder group led by therapist Gale Holland. The members are older now and dealing with issues of college and sexuality in addition to their serious food addictions. Ravenous also gets inside Gale's head as she attempts to teach the group methods to cope. Phoebe is still dealing with her father's scorn because she is overweight, and still overwhelmed by love for Daryl, who is involved with someone else. Anorexic Samantha has lost one boyfriend because of her food-control issues, but she is extremely resistant to recovering. And Hannah seems to carry the biggest burden, not only because she is bulimic, but also because she is a lesbian. She is also coming to terms with her mother's death from anorexia and breast cancer. Several other characters are added to the group, including two men and an older woman who is a heavy smoker and suffering from long-term anorexia. The writing here is smoother than in Insatiable but the use of words in capitals on almost every other page to add emphasis is irritating. Purchase if the first book was popular; otherwise rely on older classics on the topic, such as Steven Levenkron's Best Little Girl in the World (Turtleback, 1979) and Susan Terris's Nell's Quilt (Sunburst, 1996).Susan Riley, Mount Kisco Public Library, NYCopyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.Eve Eliot has had a private psychotherapy practice for eleven years and is co-founder of the popular Menu For Living Weekend Workshops for compulsive eaters, currently offered in New York.

In addition, she has been interviewed on radio numerous times in the past year in connection with Insatiable, and has been interviewed for more than a dozen newspapers, including the Boston Globe. A sought-after expert in the field of eating and body-image disorders, she finds personal experience to be her most powerful tool for helping others change.

31,094 | 2 | Jack Canfield, #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, is a professional speaker who has dedicated his life to enhancing the personal and professional development of othersThe Summer of Saving PeepThree things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind. -Henry JamesOne sunny afternoon in June, my sister Jenny and I were walking home from school when we noticed a loud chirping coming from an empty trashcan on the curb. We walked over to it and peered inside. A sad little sparrow was sitting at the bottom of the trashcan, chirping his heart out. His right wing stuck out from his body at a strange angle. Jenny said it was probably broken. She reached in and cupped the bird in her hands, cooing to him so he wouldn't be scared. The sparrow chirped all the way to our house, his little, fuzzy head poking through Jennys fingers.My mom took one look at the little bird and said, No way! Im not having another animal in the house. But once she got a closer look at those big, sad eyes and heard that pathetic chirping, her heart melted. We were counting on that.Mom sent me into the bathroom for tape and an eyedropper and gently set the sparrow on the kitchen table to get a better look at him. She said his right wing was definitely broken, so she designed a splint out of a Popsicle stick and carefully taped it to his wing. Our dog, Buttons, kept trying to get a look at the bird, but we shooed her away. Once the splint was on, we fed the bird water with an eyedropper and gave him bits of bread and berries. At first he wouldn't eat, but then after awhile, he wouldn't stop.The little bird earned the name Peep. We kept him in an old hamster cage, former home of Pepper, the hamster, whod recently passed away from old age. Every night, we put a towel over the cage, and Peep went right to sleep. And every morning, we put his cage outside and opened the door so he could wander around and get some fresh air. Peep couldn't fly, which seemed to frustrate him. He wasn't used to walking everywhere. Eventually, Peep made friends with Buttons. I swear it's true! Peep would jump onto Buttons back for a free ride around the back yard.After awhile, Peep's wing got better, and Mom told us it was probably time to take off the splint. We put Peep on the kitchen table, and Mom cut off most of the splint with little scissors. She couldn't get all of it, so there were bits of white tape stuck to his wing, but he didn't seem to mind. He started flapping his wing like crazy, and the next morning when we opened the cage door, he flew about fifty feet into the air before coming back. We watched from the ground like proud parents. From then on, Peep flew further each morning, but he always came back.Two weeks later, on a Sunday morning, when Jenny let Peep out of his cage, he just kept flying. We left his cage outside with the door open, but he never came home all that day. As it became dark, we faced the truth that Peep would never come back. My mom said he probably found some other sparrows and decided it was time to be with his own kind. My eyes filled with tears, and so did Jennys. We all missed Peep a loteven Buttons, who paced around in front of his cage every morning for weeks.A few months later, Jenny and I were walking home from school, and a sparrow landed on a low tree branch just ahead of where we were walking. We both stopped and stared at it, amazed. The bird had little bits of white tape stuck to his right wing.Jenny and I didn't say a word to each other. Peep sat on the branch chirping at us for a couple of seconds, and then he flew off. We watched him join a little flock of sparrows and disappear into the sky with them. We decided that it wasn't one of those crazy coincidences. Peep had come to say a proper good-bye and to thank us for saving his life.It was a long hike up to the top of the snow hill, the snow crunching under my boots. My arms ached from pulling the sled. The wind tore at my face, and my eyes filled with tears from the cold wind. But it would all be worth it in a minute. I got to the top of the hill and lay stomach-down on the sled to begin the fast trip down. Everything was a blur as I flew down the hill. Whoosh! There's that great sound! Then I saw something out of the corner of my eye. When I got to the bottom of the hill, I looked around for what had caught my attention. Then, I saw a woman pushing a shopping cart. The snow-covered sidewalk made it hard for her to walk. As she got closer, I noticed that she had on several thin coats and a couple of hats, and her fingers were showing through her gloves. I knew in an instant that she was a homeless person. She looked very tired, cold and helpless. My heart sank. How could I be enjoying this weather that someone else was dreading?I watched her struggle to push the cart. I wanted to help her, but what could I do? Then I remembered the church at the top of the hill.I ran up the hill, dragging the sled through the parking lot and into the church. I saw a man cleaning the floor, and I told him about the woman. He followed me outside. The woman was still struggling up the sidewalk with the cart. The man walked up to her and told her not to be afraid, that he worked at the church and he could help her. He said that the church was taking in homeless people for the weekend, and she was welcome to come inside, have something to eat and get warm. The homeless woman looked so grateful! I felt so good that I couldnt stop smiling. When I went outside, snow was falling softly, and it made me feel peaceful. Once again, I lay on my stomach and started down the hill. Only this time, the wind seemed gentle, my eyes didnt water from the cold, and I felt warm inside. What a great day!2006. All rights reserved. Reprinted from Chicken Soup for the Kids Soul 2 .

31,095 | 0 | Margery Williams is the author of more than 30 children's books, but her best-loved work is The Velveteen Rabbit. She died in 1944.Toni Raiten-D'Antonio is a psychotherapist and professor of clinical social work. Her first book, The Velveteen Principles, was a sleeper hit with more than 50,000 copies sold.From the Forward by Toni Raiten-D'Antonio, author of The Velveteen PrinciplesThe Velveteen Rabbit, which first appeared in 1922, is full of the magic and playfulness that fill a child's world and are almost impossible to find in the land of adults.But as many millions of readers have discovered, this book offers wisdom for readers of all ages. The story confronts some of the most essential questions we ever ask: Who am I? Do I have worth? What is life all about?As they search for happiness, each one of Williams's characters seems to embody very basic human traits. The Rabbit is that part of us who is young at heart, and hopeful, and insecure, and afraid. The not-so-nice toys in the nursery represent excessive pride, superiority and insensitive competitiveness. Nana, the governess, is cold and too busy to notice much about others. And the Skin Horse stands for the kindness, wisdom and quiet integrity we all hope to acquire some day.Yes, it is a story for children. But it is also meant for any person with an open mind and a receptive heart. As you read this wonderful book, the genuine humanity in its characters will become obvious. You will begin to consider how much you are like the little Rabbit, and how much you admire the Skin Horse. Most important, you will begin to understand that by holding true to your highest values, and honoring your own life's experience, you too can strive to be Real, just like the Horse and the Rabbit.From the Velveteen Rabbit There were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. For at least two hours the Boy loved him, and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner, and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten.For a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor, and no one thought very much about him. He was naturally shy, and being only made of velveteen, some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him. The mechanical toys were very superior, and looked down upon every one else; they were full of modern ideas, and pretended they were real. The model boat, who had lived through two seasons and lost most of his paint, caught the tone from them and never missed an opportunity of referring to his rigging in technical terms. The Rabbit could not claim to be a model of anything, for he didn't know that real rabbits existed; he thought they were all stuffed with sawdust like himself, and he understood that sawdust was quite out-of-date and should never be mentioned in modern circles. Even Timothy, the jointed wooden lion, who was made by the disabled soldiers, and should have had broader views, put on airs and pretended he was connected with Government. Between them all the poor little Rabbit was made to feel himself very insignificant and commonplace, and the only person who was kind to him at all was the Skin Horse.The Skin Horse had lived longer in the nursery than any of the others. He was so old that his brown coat was bald in patches and showed the seams underneath, and most of the hairs in his tail had been pulled out to string bead necklaces. He was wise, for he had seen a long succession of mechanical toys arrive to boast and swagger, and by-and-by break their mainsprings and pass away, and he knew that they were only toys, and would never turn into anything else. For nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old and wise and experienced like the Skin Horse understand all about it."What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?""Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.""Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit."Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.""Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"; Title: The Velveteen Rabbit Gift Set: Hardcover book and plush package | [

31,096 | 2 | Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen are the co-creators of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series.The first thing I noticed was that there was not a lot of room for the animals and not a lot of supplies to care for them. Even though they didn't have much, the people who worked there cared about the animals more than anything, and they did their best for them. Still, it seemed they had just barely enough food and medicine to keep the animals healthy.When we started looking around, I saw a lot of animals and fell in love with each of them. But my family and I finally settled on adopting two kittens we named Sox and Sierra. We went up to the front desk to sign the papers for them, and that's when I noticed a box on the counter. The Humane Society ws hoping to get enough donations to buy more supplies for the animals and also build a new building to help even more abandoned animals.We finished up and took our new kittens home, where they were sure to get a lot of love. Later that day my mom and I went shopping, and as we were walking through the parking lot at the store, I noticed a green piece of paper three spaces away from our car. It was kind of wet, but it looked like it could be a dollar bill, so I walked over and picked it up. It wasn't a dollar bill--it was a twenty-dollar bill!When I got home, I dried it off and thought about what to do with it. I considered spending it on a toy and a lot of other things. Right then, Sox climbed up into my lap, and I knew what I was going to do with the money.I asked my mom to take me back to the Humane Society so that I could put the money in the donation box. The lady at the counter smiled and thanked me, and I felt really good about what I did.If the Humane Society does raise enough money to build a new building, I will know that I helped many more animals that will come to live there one day--hopefully, only until someone comes along and lovingly adopts them like we did with Sox and Sierra.--Mallory McGinty, 10; Title: Chicken Soup for the Child's Soul: Character-Building Stories to Read with Kids Ages 5 through 8 (Chicken Soup for the Soul) | [

31,097 | 2 | Girl stuff. Periods. Sex. Boyfriends. Cranky parents. Friends who used to be enemies, and geeks who are now friends. And what is going on with the body? What do all these changes mean, and why don't they happen to all girls the same way at the same time?These are timeless questions for teenage girls, but as each generation of preteens and teens faces different cultural and societal changes and stresses, older guidebookswhile still valid in terms of information offeredread as outdated. This book, with its friendly, blunt-yet-calm approach, offers the teen girls of the generation some clear answers to all those questions and more. The authors, one of whom is a pediatrician and the other an OB/GYN, are both mothers of daughters, giving them a wide variety of perspectives on the adolescent body and mindset.Countering trends of girls feeling inferior or insecure, the authors use Girlology to urge girls to develop Girl Power: developing control and confidence by understanding the process of change, both emotional and physical, as it affects not only the reader, but the her friends and family as well. The book's frank discussion of female body parts and how they change during puberty, as well as how they function during sex, provides diagrams and straightforward language to answer questions that teens may be too afraid or embarrassed to ask. Terminology is clearly explained, from mundane topics such as body hair removal, to mysterious ones such as sexual organs.Yet the book also urges girls to trust their mothers (who have likely been through most of these emotional and physical quandaries themselves) rather than trying to face these changes alone. The authors encourage girls to learn how to assess what kind of person they want themselves to be, as well as what kinds of people they really want as friends, beyond the superficial popularity roles.The highlight of this book is its friendly approach and its "hey, really, this is all normal" tone. It's non-threatening and informative in terms preteens and teens can clearly understand, and provides clear information about the risks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, as well as the emotional devastation caused by boyfriends and disloyal girlfriends. If anything, the book verges on too cheerful at times, but that is a minor fault in a book that provides so much excellent information in a readable way.Today's preteen and teen girls can use all the help they can get, and Girlology is an excellent resource for those wanting information, solace, and help. -Forward Magazine, October 2005 Melisa Holmes, MD, an ob-gyn and mother of three girls, is a nationally recognized expert in the area of pediatric and adolescent gynecology, and has also been named among the Best Doctors in America. She has been providing healthcare to girls, teens, and young adults for over 12 years.; Title: Girlology: A Girl's Guide to Stuff that Matters | [

31,098 | 2 | Zimmerman Rutledge strikes a delicate balance: Her writing is never over her young readers' heads, yet it does not condescend. She instructs readers to give themselves affirmations, called "Special Statements," to counteract their negative thoughts about their appearance. Then she coaches them to develop a plan of action for creating new, healthy habits and behaviors. What's particularly powerful are the real-life stories of adolescent girls (three in each chapter), who share their bad body-image experiences and solutions. Topics include weight and dieting concerns, materialism, teasing and bullying, and perfectionism.--Newsday...you asked for a good resource to help you raise your daughter from the inside out. The best one I've seen is called Picture Perfect: What You Need to Feel Better About Your Body by Jill Zimmerman Rutledge. What's great about this book is that it helps girls learn to catch their negative thoughts and develop healthier images about their body. It also helps the girl develop her own "Special Statement" to counter the negative thoughts and stories of girls who struggle with poor body image issues, worry about their appearance or wealth. And it's written so your daughter can read it herself!-- Dr. Michele Borba educational psychologist and Today show contributor, author of a popular parenting blog on iVillage.com).; Title: Picture Perfect: What You Need to Feel Better About Your Body | [

31,099 | 2 | Max Sindell (Brooklyn, NY) graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2007 with a degree in writing. Previously, Max attended the Interlochen Arts Academy, the nation's first and foremost boarding fine-arts high school, where he also studied creative writing. He was invited to attend the Global Young Leader's Conference, in Washington, D.C., and New York, where he participated in simulations involving international relations and world leadership. Have a question for Max? Ask him at his website, where you can also find resources including articles, links and interviews at www.survivingyourparentsdivorce.comIt seems like everyone has a Bill of Rights these days. All Americans have one in their Constitution. The Geneva Convention has a Bill of Rights for prisoners of war. And if you Google 'Bill of Rights,' well, it looks like just about everybody has one: doctors' patients, children, goldfish, gerbils. . . . The point is, I think kids with divorced parents deserve a Bill of Rights too. In this section, you'll find some basic rights that you have with your family and that your parents should respect. Read over them, think about them, and sit down with your parents and tell them to read them too. Share them with your parents early on and discuss them together, and start figuring out how they are going to make sure they respect these inalienable rights. The most important thing in a divorce with kids is that they feel safe and secure. That means saying something if you're home alone too much, if a relative or stepparent says something to you that isn't right, or if they treat you in a way that makes you uncomfortable. If there ever is a time you don't feel safe, tell your parents, and if you can't tell them, tell a counselor or tell a friend. This is your most important right. You have a right to know what's going on. Your parents should not lie to you or hide the truth from you about anything to do with you. This does not mean, however, that they have to tell you everything. Some things should remain private between your parents until you are older, and until they feel they want to tell you. For instance, they don't have to reveal to you the intimate details of their arguments about child support. But if they're having a discussion about your schedule, you have the right to know and to make your voice heard. Divorce can be very disempowering. It can make you feel like you don't have a say and don't make a difference, and that's exactly where a counselor comes in. A counselor should be someone whom you can talk to privately, without your parents there, and who can help you with your situation. When I was eleven, I'd had enough with my parents' problems, and I met with my middle school counselor, Dr. Gold. We talked once a week or so about how I felt concerning my parents' situation, and he helped me realize that I have a voice that my parents should hear. Without him, I don't think I would have had my say until I was older. He was instrumental in helping me tell my parents how I felt and getting them to respect my opinion. School counselors are not the only people you can talk to. Adult friends of the family who are unbiased, or the parents of good friends of yours, are also good people to talk to. All of this brings up an important issue. If you are ever harmed or threatened in any way, or you don't feel safe with a parent, the most important thing you can do is to talk to someone who can help you. Above everything else is Right Number I: The right to be safe and to feel safe. Remember that. Sometimes, when your parents are trying to sort out what they think is best for you, they can forget to listen to the most important person: You! Sometimes, you know what you need better than they do, and they'll forget to ask. If you can't get them to listen to you by yourself, it's important to have someonea counselor or a friendtalk for you. That way you can make sure that you have a say, and that your parents really know what you need. Before your parents were divorced, there was you, your mom, your dad, and the other people in your family. The same is true now. Your parents have to respect your right to feel the way you feel. Your parents will very likely start dating after they are divorced. This is normal. I've seen my father date and marry twice after my parents split. Trust me, you'll get used to it. But with all of that comes the fact that you are not a tool for your parents to get dates. In dealing with stepparents, or the people your parents are dating, your rights stand. They are still in effect. It's important to set boundaries with your parents' friends. You must tell both your parents and their friends when those boundaries are crossed. If those boundaries are crossed in a major way, and you don't feel safe, tell a counselor. Plain and simple. Your parents, more likely than not, will argue about things when they get divorced. Again, this is normal. They will fight, and they might even say things about each other that aren't so nice. Sometimes, they may tell you about these things and ask you how you feel about them. The long and the short of it is that you don't have to say a thing. You have the right, first of all, to not hear any of it. If you don't want to hear about how they feel about each other, then you don't have to. Tell them to stop, tell them you don't want to hear it. If they don't stop, leave and tell someone else. Also remember that you never have to choose sides. I found it interesting and very informative to hear how my mother felt about my father and vice versa. I learned a lot from it. I learned that if I acted like either parent in a way that reminded the other of the reason they got divorced, they'd get angry really fast, which was a good thing to know. Regardless of all of that, the important thing is that you don't have to take a side with either parent. Be Switzerland. Stay neutral. You can say anything to anyone, without worrying about someone else listening. This means that if you want to be on the phone, then you can ask your parent to leave the room. That means you can write e-mails without your parent over your shoulder. That means that when you meet with a counselor or friend, you have privacy, unless you want your parent(s) there. For the rest of your young adult life, I think you'll find these rights to be a useful guide for knowing where you stand and for knowing what you have to put up with and what you don't.2007.
