This is a perfect book for young students to using their math smarts in the kitchen ...

Cooking is cool, but would you ever think that math would come in handy? If not, you'll need to think again. When Cala went to the UK to visit her Aunt Jane, they were going to make a turkey dinner. Only one problem with that dinner and that was the fact that when she went to heat the oven, degrees were measured in Celsius. Aunt Jane turned the oven to 177ÂC. If Cala tried to cook a turkey dinner at home she's run into a problem. Her "Aunt Jane says the formula for changing Celsius to Fahrenheit is "ÂC x 1.8 + 32." Easy peasey now because Cala can figure out just how many degrees she should use when she writes out the recipe. She can do the math!

It's Halloween time and Sam's going to have a party. He's got those pumpkins, decorations, and plenty of candy corn. What he does need is punch. Sam found his recipe and it called for "32 fluid ounce of apple juice and 12 fluid ounces of cranberry juice." Some ginger ale and orange juice would round it out nicely. The only problem was that his recipe called for ounces and cups, but he only had a jug that showed "milliliters and liters." What to do? One thing he did know was that "1 fluid ounce = about 30 ml and 1 cup = 237 ml." Whew, Sam would be able to make the punch after all. He can do the math!

This is a perfect book for young students to using their math smarts in the kitchen. There are all kinds of small kitchen dilemmas that can be solved with basic mathematical formulas. Students will just have to put on their thinking caps and apply some formulas to figure out a cooking problem. They will have to measure, convert temperatures, use fractions, figure out percentages, and much more. Each "problem" comes in the form of a short tale of a young person working in the kitchen. After encountering a problem, they have to figure out the solution by doing some math calculations. This book is very kid-friendly and an easier way to approach an assortment of problems. In the back of the book is an index, a glossary, an answer key, and additional recommended book and website resources to explore.

Fun, Educational Novel

This little graphic novel reveals both the mystery of a thief at summer camp and how light works, not to mention a not so subtle comment on prejudice. At Dakota Camp, things begin to go missing. Carly knows the thief is Braelin - she just knows it. Over the next few days the kids all seem to become victims of the thief, including Braelin himself. Finally, by following the clues, the kids find the true culprit and the camp counselors deal with it.

The book gives children the opportunity to learn about the science of light as the Dakota Camp kids make periscopes, learn the legend of how the Sioux learned to fish with spears, and find out about the eyes of nocturnal animals. The light experiments at the back of the book provide hands-on experience for the reader who chooses to do so.

Children will also benefit from the camp kids' open expressions of their feelings, seeing what can happen to others as a result of unfounded suspicion. The mystery unfolds quickly and with satisfaction on the part of the reader.

The drawings are clearly reveal the emotional nuances of the characters, while the dialog is realistic and uncomplicated. All in all it is a fun, educational novel.

This is a fascinating mystery that will intrigue young science detectives ...

All was quiet at Camp Dakota until Carly stomped into the dining room yelling Braelin's name. Braelin's eyes grew wide as she stood there with her hands on her hips. Angie and Alex sure knew Carly meant business when she walked over to Braelin and demanded he hand over her horsemanship medal. Braelin was the obvious culprit because she claimed, "He's always getting into trouble." Carly didn't figure he was all that smart either because he had on a dark shirt and, as she claimed, "Everyone knows you stay cooler if you wear lighter colors on sunny days."

Carly's lecture had to come to an end because counselor Sanders came to round them all up to head to the art cabin. She showed them how to make their own periscopes and told them all how light was inverted images in the mirrors so that images would "normal" when they looked through the scope. The day was peaceful and around the campfire that night counselor Kyle told them about how Dakota Sioux, Kosumi, learned how to catch fish and how light was refracted. There was something else that needed to be caught at Camp Dakota, and that was a thief. A lot of things started to come up missing, but was Braelin really the culprit or was there some sort of logical explanation?

This is a fascinating mystery that will intrigue young science detectives. Told in a graphic novel format, this science mystery will appeal to a wide range of readers, including the reluctant one. The science lessons introduce the concept of light, an important one in the realm of physics. The mystery is fun and the science is woven into it, but doesn't overwhelm the the story. There are numerous informative sidebars scattered throughout the book that explain light science concepts.

This is a fascinating mystery that will intrigue young science detectives ...

Lightning bolts lit up the sky as rain poured down around Camp Dakota. Jordan was ready to head out to eat, but Braelin hid under the bed. No way he was going to venture out in that storm. Jordan tried to reassure him that it would be fine because the lighting wasn't close. He thought about it and said, "I think there's a way you can tell, by counting the seconds between the flash and the sound." Kyle, a camp counselor, came to hustle them off to the camp cafeteria and then gave them the formula for figuring out just how far away that lightning was. By using his calculations there wouldn't be a problem. Once everyone worked through them they knew the storm was more than a mile away. The sound of thunder really got to Braelin, but the sound of something else was getting to some of the other campers. It was the Lake Ghosts.

Everyone started to debate whether or not the ghosts were "real," but no doubt there was something strange going on down by the water. It was time to wrap up their dinner and Kyle got them off the subject of ghosts as he began instructing them. This time the campers would learn how to make a flute. Loraine wanted to know just how the flute worked. Kyle explained to her that "The air vibrates inside the flute, which makes a sound covering the holes where vibrating air comes out." After they made their flutes the campers headed out to sit by a log near the lake to practice. There was a lot of noise from the flutes, but suddenly a strange sound began to come from the lake. "Mmrmur mmrmur." It had to be the Lake Ghosts, but if they were real, how would the Camp Dakota campers find them?

This is a fascinating mystery that will intrigue young science detectives. Told in a graphic novel format, this science mystery will appeal to a wide range of readers, including the reluctant one. The science lessons introduce various concepts of sound and how they work. The mystery is fun and the science is woven into it, but doesn't overwhelm the the story. There are numerous informative sidebars scattered throughout the book that explain what happens. For example, we learn that "Sound travels faster in fluids and solids than it does in gases." Undoubtedly, most youngsters who read this mystery, are going to want to try one or both experiments in the back of the book. There are step-by-step instructions on how to make a sound cannon or a telephone.

Great Bedtime Reader

All of the Illustrated Chosen Classics are great bedtime readers. My wife sits in the hall of the children's bedrooms and reads these stories to them at bedtime. The difference between these books and the traditional novels is that these stories move very fast. My son, in particular, will hear one of these abridged classic novels and, if he likes it, will then read the full unabridged version on his own. Kind of gives our kids a taste of the classics without having to start reading a really large and sometimes overwhelming looking book. My son is 10 and my daughter is 15. We have about 30 of these types of books in our library.

A Classic Still

Like many people of my age (62), I read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a child because at that time it was widely perceived to be a child's or young adult's book. This is unfortunate as it is not nor has it ever been directed at the young. In my rereading I discovered for the first time why it is still called the original great American novel. Huckleberry, like Twain, is opinionated and perceptive. His narration and point of view drive the novel forward. Rather than relegate this work to the children's shelves or castigate it as racist, folks should embrace this novel for what it is, a bildungsroman that shows the growth of a country as well as the growth of its young protagonist.

It captivated a classroom full of surly teens

I teach English, and the junior year in North Carolina is devoted to American literature. I approached Huck Finn with no small amount of trepidation because of Twain's use of vernacular. I ran into the same problem with "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and solved that by listening to Ruby Dee's audio recording, which students loved. I purchased this recording of Huck Finn, and it was to die for fabulous. Students read along in their books as we listened to the recording, and it helped bring the characters and the story alive for them. They laughed when I hoped they would laugh, and they understood the novel so much better by being able to listen to it. This recording was invaluable.

Reading this book as an adult is a whole different ...

Reading this book as an adult is a whole different experience. I'm fairly sure the versions I read as a child were watered down. I don't have any memory of murder and mayhem in the versions I read as a child. All the same it was highly entertaining and deserving of being a classic.

Friendship and mischieviousness.

I grew up reading this book, a story about Huckleberry Finn and his adventurous life on the Mississippi River as a boy. He would be considered a hoodlum in this day and age, at the time it was written he was an orphan and had no one to help him grow with morals however he is a rather a good boy with pretty good morals and this story is a classic. The story is also about friendship.

Title: The Adventures of Bottersnikes and Gumbles

Author: S. A. Wakefield

Narrator: Nicholas Osmond

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-16

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

This stunning collection includes four of the best and favourite Bottersnikes and Gumbles stories chosen from the original beloved classics....

Deep in the Australian bush live some very strange creatures. Bottersnikes make their homes in rubbish heaps. They have green wrinkly skin, cheese-grater noses and pointed ears that go red when they're angry - which is most of the time.

Gumbles are happy little creatures who can be squashed into any shape without being hurt. They're clever and resourceful except when they go giggly. Then they're far too silly to do anything at all. This is handy for the Bottersnikes, who, with cries of 'got you', grab the Gumbles, squash them into tins and take them out only when there's work to be done.

Can the Gumbles outwit the grouchy Bottersnikes and avoid being captured again?
