What a timely achievementthe only book about the problem of bullying entirely written by teenagers. I know their personal stories will move you, anger you, inspire youeven scare you. A great read for a great cause."R. L. Stine, author of the Goosebumps series (Endorsement)"Heart-felt and heart-wrenching stories, straight from the experiences of the bullied, the bystanders, and those who have bullied. Exceptional writing from all, and so worth the read." Ellen Hopkins, The New York Times bestselling young adult author (Endorsement)"This book is a unique wakeup call for teens, parents, and teachers to stop, listen, and think about the power of their words and actions."Vanessa WilliamsBullying Under Attack is a project created as a result of Teen Ink's mission to publish teenagers' writing about what matters to them most. During our 24-year run, we have received hundreds of thousands of submissions from teens, many of whom want to talk about bullying. From these personal, heart-wrenching stories published on our website or printed in our magazine, we've selected the most compelling prose and poetry about bullying. Bullying Under Attack is an eye-opening anthology of first-person accounts written by teenagers from all three players in the bullying cycle: victims, bullies, and bystanders. The Victim: "I was the girl who got called fat every single day. The girl who camouflaged her pain by laughing really hard and talking too loud, drowning out the demeaning comments. The girl fighting an internal battle to get up, get ready, and go to school every morning" Elizabeth Ditty The Bully: "being a bully doesn't save me from other bullies. I used to think that, somehow, tormenting others would grant me immunity from being tormented. It didn't. Because being a bully doesn't make you scary; it makes you worthless." Michael Ortiz The Bystander: "Sometimes changing a bully is difficult and even impossible. But if you don't try, those who are bullied will never know how much you care, and those who bully will continue to think their actions are acceptable. You can choose to remain a silent bystander, or you can take a stand to defend others. It's up to you."

31,105 | 0 | The shepherds are significant symbols in the Christmas story. The angel of the Lord announced the Messiah's birth to the humblest, lowest people, and not to kings in their palaces or priests in their temples. In His humiliation, God comes to us--humble, lowly people--with His power, mercy, and grace. As fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, God comes in the flesh to us all, the highest and the lowest, and brings us forgiveness and the promise of eternal life.This picture book employs the theme of the lowly shepherds and their response to the angel's message to show how Christ works in our lives. It portrays shepherds as nomadic people who helped spread the Gospel message. Imagery includes the 23rd Psalm, Jesus as our Good Shepherd, and Jesus as the Lamb of God.; Title: The Shepherd's Christmas Story | [

31,109 | 20 | My 7 year old son and I have been talking about how God speaks to us. He was discouraged because he had never heard God's voice yet. I have tried to explain that God does speak to us in many ways, including through His word, the Bible. Seeing or Hearing is believing for kids - and adults.On the night before my son's 1st day of school this year, God spoke to him through Little Vists at Bedtime.Elijah was nervous about going to school. He didn't want to go to school because he wanted to be home and enjoy summer longer. I must admit that I felt exactly the same way!We opened up Little Vists at Bedtime as we have been for the previous week. The title of the lesson was Puppy in School. How appropriate as my son was starting school the next day and we were planning on getting a puppy the next weekend. The story was about a service dog that was going to training school to help blind people. The story was simple and it was fun for my son to think about his future puppy. However, the Bible verse was pivotal.Do not be anxious about your life. Matthew 6:25God was telling my son not be to anxious about his life, not about school, not about the bus, not about friends, not about summer being over, not about anything. I used this time to also read another very helpful verse about being anxious.Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Phillippians 4:6.Author Mary Manz Simon states, For a child, sleep-time conversations are an opportunity to review the day and share fears, hopes, and dreams. This night's devotional allowed my child to talk about his fears and to have hope and peace from God. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep because of his anxiety about school, as this has happened in the past. After I left his bedroom he was fast asleep by 8:30 pm. This was close to a miracle for my son to be asleep so early the night before a highly anticipated day. I'm sure it was because of this book and God's blessing on him. --Cindy Orley - Top Akron BloggerDr. Mary Manz Simon is an early childhood educator and award-winning author with more than three million books sold.; Title: Little Visits at Bedtime | [

And, you know what? It is a great thing that Jesus often gives the exact same answers--and comforts--to her and to the rest of us! Thanks be to God!God sends people to help in little ways and big ways. He calls all of us to love and to serve others, to help however we can no matter how old or young we are.

31,111 | 20 | Through worship, our Heavenly Father blesses, forgives and strengthens all of His children, regardless of age. The natural curiosity of children leads them to ask questions about what is happening during worship and why. The conversations that follow help our children develop an appreciation for the traditions of the church, and more importantly, provide for the growth of their tender faith.This book will be a valuable resource for parent and educators seeking simplistic explanations and engaging discussion points to make the most of those faith-building moments. --Angela Shirley, Director of Early Childhood Education, Christ Community Lutheran SchoolBringing little kids to church can be hard and intimidating, but God has good gifts for them there. I brainstormed most of the tips and "lessons" involved for my own little ones. With my husband up front, a kind congregation member would sit at one end of the pew, me at the other, and we'd try to not only contain my little ones but also to help them. So, consider this book a little assurance that others are in your spot, too. May we share support, encouragement, and tips with each other while keeping our little ones in the flock of God!; Title: Whisper, Whisper: Learning About Church | [

They attempt to enter the dark forest Edj in order to talk to some rocks about their situation and they get separated. Nestor orders, or rather begs, a griffin for help as Lord Spite sends killer Snarls their way. With a mixture of sass and silliness, the paring of Quest and Nestor will have kids laughing in the stacks. The full-color panels look a lot like the old Sunday funnies but feel fresh and new. There are some jokes about unions at the beginning but they shouldn&'t interfere with children&'s enjoyment. A delightful read.Sadie Mattox, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Evolving from Web comic to cartoon and now into a series of graphic novels, The World of Quest combines popular genres with its sword-and-sorcery trappings and superheroic characters. Once a great hero, Quest Broad-Jaw has been pulled from retirement to protect the eager and spoiled Prince Nestor as they brave the copious dangers of Odyssia, both avoiding and fouling the plans of Lord Spite and his minions. Humor is high, mainly in the relationship between the gruff Quest and his young, difficult charge, but classic fantasy elements like dark sorcerer kings, clever puzzles, and young men finding their heroic destinies abound and are effectively wrapped up in visually inventive art, highly reminiscent of what the readership might find popping along energetically in some of the Cartoon Networks more popular programming. Ideal for lovers of Joann Sfars Dungeon series postmodern take on the genre, this second volume clearly has a developed continuity and ends on a cliff-hanger, but will also be easy for new readers to jump aboard and enjoy the fun.

Their life is happy but sometimes chaotic, whether they're baking cookies, playing in the rain, or expecting a visit from No-ah's nemesis. In this manhwa (Korean comic) the scratchy, loose artwork perfectly complements the offbeat slice-of-life stories. The animal main characters are sometimes shown as very pretty little kids and sometimes as animals, with lots of detail and asides on each page. The tales are short but just complex enough for older elementary-school readers, and the artwork is not too babyish for middle-school readers. A few slightly off-color elementsone character says Sound off like you got a pair, and in another story the dog and cat, both boys, are tricked into kissingare only played for laughs and don't make the story too mature for the intended audience or negate the all-ages rating.

Libbrecht uses a first-person narration to describe the microphotography process that he uses to create the images and then goes on to outline the life cycle of a snowflake. Some elementary science is included in the text, such as the water cycle and the crystallization process, which explains why no two snowflakes are ever alike. Details about why snowflakes always have six branches and why they vary in size so much add interest and depth, offering readers more than just the basics. A solid addition to any science collection, this book will draw in young enthusiasts, and the beautiful photographs will engage casual browsers.

This book will captivate readers. It does an excellent job of integrating the science behind snowflake formation and the beautiful natural art that is the end result.Written by a physicist who studies snowflake form, the text is very informative and covers many science concepts related to the subject (such as light and color, the water cycle, crystal formation, and molecular structure). The accompanying photographs are exquisite, and the diagrams clarify the scientific content in an effective manner.There are a few suggested activities in the text that a classroom teacher could easily do with students, such as making paper snowflakes and observing snowflakes under a microscope.

31,147 | 2 | BOOKS YOU CAN PLAY WITH The main attraction of Go To Bed, Fred: A Good Night Book & Muppet Puppet is, of course, the Muppet: pale-blue Fred has a wild tuft of bright yellow hair, a lime-green nose and a wide mouth. The board book, by Alison Inches, illus. by Lauren Attinello, uses rhyme to show Fred getting ready for bed with a host of animal assistants: "Hand me a towel, Baby Owl./ Time to floss, Albatross." Sarah's House by Eric Thomas looks like an ordinary book, but tying the covers back to back with the attached ribbons turns it into a free-standing dollhouse with eight rooms, all set for occupation by a family of four press-out figures in Victorian dress (and their collie). While the floors are somewhat warped, the elaborate staircase, complete with landing and rails, rises with impressive solidity. Flaps open a mirrored medicine chest, a dollhouse, a standing wardrobe; movable doors connect the well-appointed rooms; and beds, bathtub, towel warmer and other furniture pop out in readiness. There are even chandeliers. Reader's Digest Young Families, meanwhile, offers two packaged sets that incorporate books into play. Teddy's Shop, a laminated box the size of a small shoebox, has a windowpane front that reveals its wares: three miniature 24-page books, a puzzle, a fold-out board game (with tokens nearly as large as the game), playing cards, stickers and a height chart (to measure the lack of growth of the reader's stuffed animals and toys). The set's centerpiece is a small, rather peevish-looking stoneware teddy figurine, which corresponds to the teddy bear hero of the books and toys. ($17.99 ages 6-up ISBN 0-88705-960-0, Nov.) A second Reader's Digest Young Families offering, I Can Stamp My ABC's includes more than 90 rubber stamps (of letters, numbers, shapes and pictures), stickers to label the stamps, a two-color ink pad, and six colored pencils. With the stamps, kids can complete pictures and answer questions in My First Stamp & Learn Book, an activity book by Doris Tomaselli, illus. by Cathy Beylon. Instructions leave little to the reader's imagination, telling not only what to stamp where, but what color to use: "Stamp in Hoot Owl with a party hat and color the hat orange."Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.The news is out-the Muppets are back in business. Or have they ever really gone out of style? These irresistible puppets by Jim Henson Productions have captivated more then a generation of children, from the days of the first TV shows in the seventies to the blockbuster movies of the eighties and nineties. It seems that the wonderful scamps are bound to live on in the hearts of children everywhere, no matter what comes around. Here to celebrate their popularity and vivacity are three books by Workman Publishing--GO TO BED, FRED, a combination bedtime book and real Muppet puppet; PEEK-A BOO, LIZZY LOU!, a bouncy tale for curious toddlers also accompanied by a Muppet; and THE MUPPETS MAKE PUPPETS, where Cheryl Henson shows kids how to make over 35 puppets from stuff around the house.

31,148 | 0 | Canadian literary icon Atwood takes a break from serious fiction and cuts loose with this deliciously silly romp. Preoccupied with her own prettiness, Prunella, a positive pill of a princess, passes her time peering into a pocket mirror to see her perfect dimples; planning nuptials with a prince who has piles of pin money; and producing pandemonium for her pained parents, pets and the parlormaids paid to pick up after her. She gets her comeuppance when she provokes a "wrinkly-wristed" wise woman, who places on the princess's proboscis a purple peanut that won't go away until she performs three good deeds. All's well that ends well, however, and prudence wins out over pride. The fun is infectious, and greatly amplified by Kovalski's (Pizza for Breakfast) droll illustrations. It's also a particularly pleasing read-aloud, as Atwood's outrageous alliteration ("for supper she fed Prunella some parsley and paprika soup, a pile of potted pigeon and pickerel pancakes, and some pepper and porridge preserve, on a pretty plate patterned with pendulous poppies") proves irresistible. Perfectly peachy. Ages 5-8. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.Gr. 3^-5. Princess Prunella is proud, prissy, and pretty. She plans to marry a rich, pinheaded prince who will praise her and pamper her. But a Wise Woman puts a spell on Prunella, and the princess sprouts a purple peanut on her nose, which disappears only when she gives up her spoiled, selfish ways. Atwood's funny parody mocks many of the old traditional tales, especially the "Princess and the Pea." The story also laughs at everyone's certainty that the pimple on your nose is a lurid monstrosity. Kids will enjoy the alliterative wordplay, though it does get to be a bit much at times, like a cute private joke played out too long. You find yourself skipping some of the lists. In contrast, the moments of spare prose are dramatic: "You are not pretty inside, just as I am not poor," the Wise Woman tells the princess. Kovalski's line-and-watercolor pictures evoke a Marie Antoinette^-style palace, with wry images and slapstick action that ridicule the pretension and subvert the silly surfaces. Kids will enjoy this feminist fractured fairy tale farce. Hazel Rochman; Title: Princess Prunella and the Purple Peanut | [

The puppet will be added visual stimulation for infants and the working arms will make it easy for adults to demonstrate the motions of the game.

The game of peek-a-boo, always a favorite of young children, can be continued with a Muppet puppet of Lizzy Lou, sized for an adult hand.

He makes learning about them such fun that kids everywhere will be begging to be taken to the nearest museum to "find a footprint, a bone, or a tooth/To grab yourself a piece of dinosaur truth." Interspersed with clever, rhyming poems are a dinosaur math quiz and one of the world's shortest poems (three words) with one of the longest tiles (20 words). There are echoes of Jack Prelutsky here, in the pacing, rhyme schemes, and sheer humor, but there's also much scientific substance in the midst of the hilarity. Facts, phrases, and frivolity combine to form a fascinating, fun look into our prehistoric past. One of the best entries is a poem about how scientists measure the brain size of early primates?by filling their skulls with uncooked rice. Leigh's playful illustrations make even the scariest dinosaur a little less scary?and all the more endearing. Even the cranky ankylosaurus, with his scaly back, is softened through the cartoon line drawings that provide much expression in just a few strokes.

31,160 | 6 | Why do people get goose bumps? Why don't fish and dolphins sleep? Why do ships and planes disappear in the Bermuda Triangle? How does camera film record pictures? What are you wondering about? Chances are, Kathy Wollard can find the answers. All the queries in this book of questions and answers were asked by real kids, who mailed and e-mailed them to Wollard's newspaper column, "How Come?" Organized into four loose categories, entitled "Turbulent Earth" (about deserts, oceans, icebergs, fog, volcanoes... anything to do with Earth), "Safari" (about animals), "Bodyworks" (about people), and "Factory Field Trip" (about things we make, such as bubble gum and diamonds), this original science reference book explains 125 mysteries of Planet Earth. A follow-up to the bestselling How Come?, Wollard's How Come? Planet Earth follows a similar format. Each two- or three-page chapter describes an earthly phenomenon in accurate, entertaining, easy-to-understand terms, with accompanying goofball cartoons by Debra Solomon. Grownups who have found themselves at a loss when children ask "Why are my fingers wrinkly after a bath?" or "How do jet airplanes fly?" will appreciate this collection of solutions as much as the curious young readers themselves. Browse at will, or read it cover to cover--answers are at hand! (Ages 8 and older) --Emilie CoulterGrade 4-7-Wollard follows up her popular How Come? (Workman, 1993) with answers to 125 more science questions submitted by children. Taking on topics as varied as volcanoes and chewing gum, warts and dust, she arranges the queries into broad categories ("Bodyworks," "Turbulent Earth," etc.), provides breezy but full answers ("Cholesterol, like fat, won't dissolve in blood-it just blobs up"), and tucks in occasional "Fast Fact" side notes. Solomon's comments that accompany the black-and-white cartoon art further lighten the informational load. Though Wollard covers all traces of her research, and is guilty of an occasional bobble-in the same paragraph she claims that the Earth's daily rotation slows by 1 to 3 milliseconds per century, lengthening a day by 30 seconds to 2 minutes every hundred years-she delivers plenty of specifics in a fresh, entertaining way that will hook both casual browsers and serious young seekers after truth.John Peters, New York Public Library Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: How Come?

31,166 | 2 | PreSchool-Grade 2-A whimsical yet accurate look at many different aspects of prenatal development. Told from a pregnant woman's point of view, the lighthearted rhyming text begins, "Before you were born and with 9 months to go..." and counts down to delivery day. In the bottom left corner of each double-page spread is a thumbnail drawing of a baby along with an informational tidbit on a developmental milestone that each month brings. For example, readers learn that at seven months to go, "You were now starting to smile and frown." The facing page then focuses on one identifying event for that month such as hearing the baby's heartbeat, feeling the effects of the hiccups, or experiencing rapid weight gain. After focusing on the mother's perspective, a postcard-sized flap can be lifted to reveal the fetus, happily painting its growing nails or gleefully dancing, boom box in hand. Loose, jaunty, black-ink lines and splashy watercolors support the humorous tone of these anecdotal vignettes that are sure to garner laughs as the woman's belly grows out of proportion to her tall skinny face. Readers will enjoy the interactive nature of this energetic title.Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MICopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: Before You Were Born | [

Learn how to make everything from a pizza garden (pizza-pie-shaped, with herbs and vegetables for a fabulous pizza at harvest time), to a sunflower house (a secret hideaway with stately sunflowers and lovely creeping morning glories), to a moon garden ("Fragrance is the color of night"). Chock full of helpful hints, clever and artistic touches, and intriguing "recipes" (Moth Broth and Compost Sandwich, to name a few), this idea book will spark creativity and a lifelong fascination with gardening. Nine concepts for theme gardens are presented in a clearly defined yet non-rigid manner that is just right for encouraging young gardeners. Sharon Lovejoy, award-winning author and illustrator of several gardening books, including Hollyhock Days: Garden Adventures for the Young at Heart, has a true knack for working with all kinds of living things, including children. She understands how quickly young people will be turned off by inflexible rules, and instead encourages budding green thumbs to experiment and explore, while providing them with useful guidelines and helpful information. Wonderfully earthy watercolors make this cozy book even more welcoming. (All ages) --Emilie CoulterGrade 1-4-A compact treasury of gardening lore, tips, and ideas for adults to share with children. What sets it apart from other how-to books on the subject is Lovejoy's artistic, whimsical, holistic approach. She gives guidelines and instructions for a backyard moon garden that attracts night creatures, thematic suggestions for a pizza garden and a pumpkin patch, and includes the smallest of gardens in a discarded glove or boot. The author's list of top 20 plants for kids will get youngsters and their parents raring to dig. While some of the recommended plants are unusual, a generous resource list complete with addresses, phone numbers, and Web sites should make ordering easy. Other novel, thrifty advice includes how to harvest seeds and how to make your own seed tape with toilet paper, flour paste, and seeds. The sunny illustrations, informative sidebars, and nuggets of wisdom illuminate the text. Readers can almost picture Mother Nature leaning over Lovejoy's shoulder advising: "Don't forget herbal remedies" (she doesn't) or "Do include craft ideas" (she does-from a prosaic worm box to fanciful dream pillows).Marilyn Payne Phillips, University City Public Library, MO Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.; Title: Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots: Gardening Together with Children | [

31,177 | 2 | K-Gr 6-Davis explains various types of mating, births, and child-rearing styles of species from octopus, firefly, and human to mosquito and penguin-all in jaunty rhyme. Because it's hard to be totally informative under the beat of rhyming couplets, there are also the picture-book equivalent of footnotes. They provide details such as "Human babies are usually born headfirst and come out through their mother's vagina" or "When a male possum goes courting, he makes a metallic clicking sound." Mackie's stylish and smart drawings are equally festive but less instructive (no genitalia are drawn or diagramed). There's lots of visual drollery in the surreal bat mates and the jolly lion family. (The lioness wears spike heels, harlequin spectacles, and carries a brief case.) This work is definitely in the Peter Mayle (Where Did I Come From? [Lyle Stuart, 1986]) camp: smiling sperm rush to a love-struck egg. This isn't the book for those who are turned off by anthropomorphic courtship and love for peacocks, spiders, and alligators.

31,180 | 6 | Grade 2-6-A fun-filled, delightful book. In the foreword, Cheryl Henson, the daughter of Jim Henson, recalls how her parents set up their first puppet workshop in their basement and describes life in this home filled with creative activity. The introduction offers readers suggestions for setting up a work space, provides a list of safety tips, and describes specific techniques such as enlarging a pattern or working with papier-m?ch?. The chapters that follow each deal with one medium or technique. One discusses color and focuses on crafts that use light, such as suncatchers and "stained glass." Others teach about cutting, folding, tearing, and piercing paper; molds and models; carving; printmaking; mixed media (a truly amazing chapter); wood; sewing and weaving basics; dipping and dyeing; masks and disguises; jewelry; puppets; and music makers. Within the chapters, the projects progress from the easy to more difficult. The directions are clear and complete, yet children will feel free to improvise. A sense of joy prevails in the instructions for the wildly funny as well as the more useful activities. Witty illustrations are populated by Muppet characters making Muppet remarks. Full-color photographs of the completed projects are included. This is a book for schools and libraries, for children and teachers, and a gift to be treasured.Marcia W. Posner, Holocaust Memorial and Educational Center of Nassau County, Glen Cove, NY Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.Drawing on the creativity and trade secrets of The Muppet Workshop, here is a wide-ranging collection of 100 inspired crafts. Turn brown paper bags and wooden dowels into a kid-size teepee, or rescue tin cans from the recycling bin and make them into your very own robot. There are costumes to sew, masks to cut out and paint, glamorous jewelry to show off. The crafts are organized by technique--each chapter focuses on a different skill, such as drawing, sculpting, quilting, beading--and projects are illustrated with full-color photographs and how-to line drawings. Kermit ads insider tips throughout, and Miss Piggy rates every project's level of difficulty.

31,194 | 13 | Sandra Boynton, long heralded for her menagerie of animal characters (Moo, Baa, La La La; Rhinoceros Tap), puts a fresh cast of singing, dancing critters center stage-from the titular boogying chickens to a tail-wagging "snuggle puppy"-in Philadelphia Chickens, a book-and-CD package billed as an "imaginary musical revue." The first 32 pages contain lyrics and illustrations, the second half of the book includes musical notation and additional lyrics for each song. An all-star cast, including Meryl Streep, Laura Linney, Eric Stoltz and the Bacon Brothers, headlines the musical recording, which features a variety of original show tunes penned by Boynton and composed by Boynton and frequent collaborator Michael Ford.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc."Lions and tigers ... and dancing pigs?
