(08/21/07) From Publishers Weekly Two projects begun independently and presented together here provide chilling witness to slavery's persistent legacies. Transcripts of 124 former slaves interviewed in the 1920s and 1930s are accompanied by recently restored recorded interviews that have languished in the Library of Congress since 1941. Historian Berlin, founding director of the Freedmen and Southern Society Project at the University of Maryland, is a master of allowing the natural drama of history to unfold. The tapes particularly are riveting?perhaps especially for those seeking their roots in Southern slavery. Until the modern civil rights movement, Berlin notes, historians' "struggle over slavery" was considered "too important to be left to the [blacks] who experienced it," but their experience has increasingly been coming to light as more archival material is unearthed and made available. Still, some seams are apparent. The original transcribers of the print interviews (nine appear both in... See less

(08/21/07) From Publishers Weekly Cab drivers, governors, executives, literary agents and many others share recollections of their most inspiring educators in this collection edited by Boston Globe Washington bureau chief Shribman. The short quotations gathered in the book describe teachers of all kinds, from a leathery-faced golf instructor to a nuclear engineering professor at North Carolina State University, to a Long Island public school teacher who taught fifth-grade students Shakespeare and made them call him "Sir." Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Book Description Over the course of a year writer David Shribman questioned virtually everyone he encountered about the role teachers had played in their lives. The result is this extraordinary collection of personal remembrances of teachers, relayed by people from all walks of life.Readers will be inspired by the Montreal bookseller whose math teacher taught statistics using cards and dice, by the second-grade teacher who let a...

(08/21/07) I purchased this book after I felt led to go back to school to get my teaching certification. I was struggling with my decision and was looking for something to provide some hope and perhaps a little inspiration. CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE TEACHER'S SOUL gave me a little of that. The book is filled with all kinds of stories and ancedotes all having to do with teaching and education. Some are humorous and some are uplifting and a few are both. Since purchasing this book, I have learned that teaching is indeed a noble profession. However, it's nice to have this book around to help remind me of that every now and again when things get rough.

(07/27/07) From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2–This cheerful, instructive title highlights the power of words. The focus is on children taking personal responsibility for what they say, as well as thinking before speaking. Communication skills that promote friendship and other key social skills are encouraged. Bright, colorful illustrations convey the messages well via body language and facial expression. Examples expose the negative impact caused by the use of hurtful words and the effective use of the simple, powerful phrase, "I'm sorry." Also included are steps for adults and children to take to get help with a serious problem, such as abuse. This title is similar in scope to Lauren Murphy Payne and Claudia Rohling's We Can Get Along (Free Spirit, 1997), but encompasses a broader range of relationships, along with activity and discussion suggestions for involved adults.–Sharon A. Neal, Immaculata University, PA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.... See less

(07/27/07) From Publishers Weekly First-time author and artist Cain treads familiar ground here with a picture book that pales in comparison to Jamie Lee Curtis's subtler and snappier Today I Feel Silly. From scared to shy, bored to jealous, Cain covers the emotional waterfront in a series of rhymes paired with pastel pencil drawings featuring elflike children. The opening spread, "silly" ("Silly is the way I feel when I make a funny face/ and wear a goofy, poofy hat that takes up lots of space"), casts a child in a rainbow-colored clown outfit against a sunny yellow backdrop and heralds the book's main artistic conceitAa palette picked to suit each mood. "Bored," for instance, is played out on a background of drab tans and browns, while "angry" steams with fiery reds and purples. Though energetic and bright, the cartoonlike illustrations skate close to being strident, while the verses are pedestrian ("Sometimes I feel so very sad and really don't know why./ Instead of playing and having fun, I...

(07/27/07) From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 2?A collection of 26 poems intended to boost children's self-esteem. A companion leader's guide to the book is available and the two titles may make an appropriate addition to a guidance counselor's curriculum. However redeeming the subjects, though?kindness, friendship, truthfulness, dependability?the poetry itself is undistinguished. It is set in traditional forms, such as quatrains and couplets, but the meter and rhyming patterns are irregular. Yet it is not free verse: "I can choose\To win or lose.\I know it's up to me.\If I think that\I'm a winner,\That's what I will be!" The black-and-white photographs are of Lalli's second-grade class and the photographer's son; they have poorly defined subjects, and many seem staged and lifeless. Students accustomed to the glamour of today's colorful picture books will not choose this one from the shelves because of its unattractive appearance. The poems could be discussed in a group setting, but... See less

The value of journal keeping is explained, and specific instructions for guiding children are given.

(07/02/07) Adult/High School-This small book of reflects the unquenchable Saint-Exup ry's view of wartime Europe in the '30s and '40s. Teens enchanted by The Little Prince will find his royal highness on the cover of this book, but much of its wisdom is drawn from other writings. Quotations are grouped under headings such as "Friendship": "Friendship is born from an identity of spiritual goals-from common navigation toward a star" and "Love": "Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction." Teens may want to tuck this gem into a backpack for the moments of solitude a journey can provide, or turn to it when the clamor of competing values threatens to overwhelm and confuse them. The annotated bibliography puts the selections in perspective by providing a brief setting for each of the author's books.-Molly Connally, Kings Park Library, Fairfax County, VA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
