This book could be used to teach biographies and Memoirs. After reading the class could discuss why this is a biography. Students could write their own biography. This book could also be used to encourage creative writing. The class could focus on the story from William's younger self to show stude...
There were a few classes that I took as a Library Sciences major that really stuck with me. One was Reader's Advisory (how to help someone choose a book...sound familiar?) and the other was Children's Literature. As you already know, I absolutely love children's literature. However, I was led to bel...
I always feel like a bad person when I give picture books bad reviews.Well, this isn't a *bad* review per se. I gave the book three stars. But it was just sort of "meh" for me. I can see how a little kid might delight in all the zaniness happening at Wilbur Robinson's house, but this book just doesn...
The story line can be too much for young children and may make sense for older children. My pre-kindergarteners and beginning of the year kindergarteners seemed to lose a lot of the story. However, when they used it to tell the story to each other (reading without using the words) they really enjoy...
I read this story over and over again and the more I read it, the richer it became. It’s about words, it’s about books, it’s about stories and order and life and ….I could go on but I think everyone who reads it will find their own meaning.

Look, I think this is a pretty book with great illustrations and the story it tells is pretty decent, but I can't help but be upset by the whole thing. This entire book is about how the fact that numbers are BORING and we need LETTERS AND WORDS to bring magic into our lives and I just think that's t...
This is vol. 1 in the series of books that eventually became Dreamworks' Rise of the Guardians-- which I saw first and loved. This book focuses on how St. Nick became who he was and also sets the back story for the movie's main villain, Pitch, the Nightmare King, as well as lots of great world-buil...
