Title: History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of Pocahontas

Author: Charles River Editors

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-14-15

Publisher's Summary:

In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. These comprehensive books will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end.

The life of Pocahontas fulfills a specific role in American culture and history. Her short life holds a bittersweet tragedy that is part of the mythology of Native America, especially the first encounters between English settlers and the local native tribes. The meaning of her name, "little plaything" or "little wanton", suggests that she was destined to be bandied about by the powers in her life. The men of the time simply assumed a young Native American girl did not deserve or even want respect.

She had many other names, however, some which would have never been known to people outside her tribe, let alone European colonists. What historians do know is Pocahontas was also known as Matoaka, she was born sometime in 1595, and she was the daughter of the paramount chief (Mamanatowick) Powhatan - leader of an Algonquian-speaking native group. She grew up in Tsenacommacha, the "densely inhabited Land" of eastern Virginia, where English explorers and settlers under the leadership of Lord Newport yearned to find a passage to the "other sea". The English settlers were also ready to play the role of the legendary Spanish conquistadors and hoping to find hidden gold in the region.

Choppy and poor writing. The true story is only alluded to. Even young children can understand the story, so it is unclear why more effort isn't put into the writing. Not worth the $. Best to rent this book. Very few illustrations.

The Odd Squad is Coming for You

Smuggle this book into your middle schooler's room. Forbid your child to even read the first chapter. Your kid will devour this book. A hilarious suspense story, no, wait, a drama about kindness and fun, oh, and a madcap jumble run through a demented theme park aided by a not so nutty grandma and a mysterious mentor. What? Just get this and let your kid read it after you do.

The first Odd Squard, Bully Bait, is a corker too. Don't start reading the first chapter...

Our hole family loves this funny, and easy to read the illustrations are hilarious

Our hole family loves this funny, and easy to read the illustrations are hilarious. Plus it has a good message.

Time travel made easy.

I'm loving this series. They take me back to when I was a nerdy weird kid! lol

To be honest, I'm still a nerdy weird kid, just look like an old man.

If you were a bit of a weirdo, dork, geek, freak, outcast, or spaz, these books are for you!

You'll laugh at all the craziness that makes you think "wow that could have happen to me!".

my son loved this book

my son is 9 and in the 4th grade and a bit hard to find books that he will find interest in, however, this one did the trick. we also got him the other Odd Squad book and he had them read in no time flat. definitely recommend!

Hilarious geeks.

Another of the Odd Squad books that I plan to donate to an elementary school in my area. The students will get in line to check this one out.

A magical fable that is a quick listen

GRANDMAS MAGIC CUP

Author: Lynda Cordova

Type of Book: Audiobook

Narrator: Tina Strong

Length: 12 minutes

Genre: Childrens Books Ages 8-10

Release Date: July 7, 2015

Publisher: Lynda Cordova

* I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Lenny lives with his father and Grandmother. His grandmother had moved in after Lennys mother died.

Lennys grandma has a magic cup and this is the story of that cup. Because this is such a short audiobook I dont want to give any of the story away.

This book is geared towards children from the ages of 8 and 10 years old. It is also a story with a moral. Grandmas magic cup has the ability to do many things, including healing the sick or injured. Grandma must teach Ned to use the cup only for helping others and never to harm.

The narrator does a good job of telling the story. It feels like someone reading the story to a child while the child is in bed getting ready to sleep for the night. I think both kids and adults alike will enjoy this short audiobook.

I rate it as 5 out of 5 stars.

The only complaint I have is the bland cover.

A Charming Little Story!

Would you listen to Grandma's Magic Cup again? Why?

Yes. I always like listening to good books over again and this one is a charmer.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Grandma's Magic Cup?

Ned's Grandma teaching him that goodness and kindheartedness are more important than our desires.

What does Tina Strong bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

She has a voice that is just perfect for narrating this story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The Magic of Kindness is with us Once More.

Any additional comments?

This is a short but enchanting story that is perfect to listen to with your children or grandchildren.

DON'T BUY!

This was the worst book I have ever read in my LIFE! It didn't even make sense! There were so many grammar problems I wouldn't even call it a book! Plus it was so boring I actually skipped to the end because I couldn't stand it. But hey, I'll give the author credit for ACTUALLY GETTING SOMEONE TO PUBLISH THIS!! Whoever did probably paid. Or was their parent. So if you're going to rent this of prime for free, you'll hate it but give it a try. But if you're going to but this, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!! So in conclusion this was the most HORRIBLE (not even a book) I have ever read!!¡

gbfhhgtvvfxgh

terrible worst book ever i no lie very bad boa consricter plus minrs suck in them frist place i said why me after the book

Title: Benno and the Night of Broken Glass

Author: Meg Wiviott

Narrator: Susie Berneis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-14-15

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

A neighborhood cat observes the changes in German and Jewish families in Berlin during the period leading up to Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. This cat's-eye view introduces the Holocaust to children in a gentle way that can open discussion of this period.

Critic Reviews:

"...the message of terror and sadness that marks the beginning of the Holocaust is transmitted in a way that is both meaningful and comprehensible. An afterword provides historical context for the story... For all collections." (School Library Journal

"It is not easy to tell young kids the horrifying truth about the Holocaust, but this picture book is a good place to start." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Excellent for 5th graders

I read this to my students as part of my Holocaust instruction. I teach 5th graders, and I walk a fine line of being truthful without sugarcoating or being too graphic. This book was the second read aloud I did, after The Terrible Things, and it worked perfectly. My students analyzed the pictures and were thoughtful when I read the real account of what happened. We also had a discussion about author purpose so students could identify why the author wrote what she did and who was the intended audience.

Overall, this is an excellent resource. I was able to introduce the topic and then move onto additional content.

great account of The Night of Broken Glass for young readers

It shows the before and after for the lives of those living in Berlin both Jewish and non-Jewish. It depicts the emotion, damage, and fear that reigned that night. It has an excellent afterword with a non-fiction account of the event.

Lots of comprehension skill

Good to use during Jewish history month to teach a hard to understand concept to young people. Good also to use different perspectives for teaching the hard concept of perspective/ point of view

Five Stars

Great!

Interesting

I had to read this for my adolescent literature class. I it is a wonderful book.

Title: The Whispering Town

Author: Jennifer Elvgren

Narrator: Elizabeth Cottle

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-14-15

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

The dramatic story of neighbors in a small Danish fishing village who, during the Holocaust, shelter a Jewish family waiting to be ferried to safety in Sweden. It is 1943 in Nazi-occupied Denmark. Anett and her parents are hiding a Jewish woman and her son, Carl, in their cellar until a fishing boat can take them across the sound to neutral Sweden. The soldiers patrolling their street are growing suspicious, so Carl and his mama must make their way to the harbor despite a cloudy sky with no moon to guide them. Worried about their safety, Anett devises a clever and unusual plan for their safe passage to the harbor.

Critic Reviews:

"Both author and illustrator do an excellent job of bringing both the horror and humanity of this story to a level younger children can understand, and there is much of both.... An unusual and strong addition to Holocaust literature." (Booklist)

"Urgent and refreshingly unsentimental." (Publishers Weekly)

"The direct simplicity of the story's telling serves well as an introduction for younger children to the Holocaust. This uncomplicated narrative of Danish resistance will facilitate teaching and discussion of a difficult yet necessary subject." (Kirkus Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Empowering for Young (and older) Readers

A picture book about the Holocaust for young children is tricky to pull off but Elvgren expertly does so by taking a discrete incident that involves a secret, something that appeals to all of us. In Nazi-occupied Denmark, Anett's family is hiding a Jewish woman and her son. As the soldiers close in, Annet comes up with a way to guide the two through the night, past the soldiers, to a fishing boat that will take them to safety in Sweden. Based on a true event, this story shows young readers how people can band together to overcome the frightening obstacles imposed on them in a terrible time and still come out triumphant.

Engaging and makes for positive discussions with kids

My 10 year old son had the pleasure of reading this book. He loved the illustrations and like most boys, liked the mix of words and captivating visuals. But unlike most books, he actually thought about what he read and asked me further questions. He wanted to know where this took place, the historical theme and found the ending very positive and comforting. I recommend this book for parents that are looking for subtle, yet effective ways to teach important life lessons.

A good story told in a simple, concise manner.

When I read the description and reviews, I admit that I was expecting a more detailed picture book story than what is presented here. (I was thinking that maybe I would be surprised by a clever ending but it was more straight forward than that.) That being said, this is a good story. It is well-written and has interesting illustrations. The story is about how a family and eventually a town helps a Jewish family hide from the Nazis and escape to safety. This would be a good choice for a reader who may not have the attention span or maturity for a longer, sadder story but would still like to learn about WWII and have a discussion.

Members Reviews:

Couldn't stay awake for it

I love Lauren Oliver and have listened to most of her books. The delirium series I've listened to over and over. This one I'm afraid put me to sleep. I couldn't keep up with what was going on and it was just odd and muddled. Hope Lauren hasn't lost her touch.

Communication Breakdown, It's always the same

I will not tell you to much about the story because that would be spoiling it, but I will tell you that these two sisters became real and I cared for them enough that I felt sad when the book ended. The mystery in the story is about a lost little girl, and two sisters that can not communicate any more. The breakdown of a family that cares for each other but can not get it together enough to heal .

Well executed, and touching, with well developed characters and no morbose violence; much more than just a thriller.

The use of different voices was well achieved and did not distract from the story.

Publisher's Summary:

Martin Moone is 11 and fed up with being the only boy in a family of girls. With three elder sisters, he's desperate for a sidekick to help him fight his corner. When best mate Padraic suggests getting an imaginary friend, he decides to give it a go. His first attempt is Loopy Lou, who loves practical jokes and is a dab hand at balloon-modelling.

But Martin soon gets fed up with Lou's clowning around, so selects Sean 'Caution' Murphy instead. Sean is much more up Martin's street - and full of advice about how Martin should negotiate day-to-day life, from dealing with his sisters' pranks to beating the bullying Bonner Boys.

But getting rid of Lou is not that easy, and two imaginary friends is a recipe for trouble!

Love this story

Who was your favorite character and why?

Martin and Shaun.

What about Chris O'Dowd and Nick Vincent Murphy s performance did you like?

Chris O'Dowd is brilliant! His interactions with the characters were great. They both did a lovely job.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud when I listened to this at work. It was truly enjoyable and laughed so many times when I listened to the antics that were happening with the Moone family.

Any additional comments?

If you love the show, which is one of my favorites, then you'll love this book. It is geared towards a younger group but since I enjoyed the acting and writing of the show, I thought 'why shouldn't I read this?!?' I just loved it. It gave the tv show a back bone. Thank you O'Dowd for giving this Moone boy a life.

Chris O'Dowd is hilarious

Watched and greatly enjoyed the TV series but the book with Chris O'Dowd's narration makes the story infinitely more funny. I found myself laughing out loud throughout surely appearing like a lunatic to the rest of the world. More books read by Chris O'Dowd please!

Wow

Wow this book was packed with adventures and funny bits I defo hope there's a second one coming out! Wow
