Books in the Life of a Child explores the value of books and reading in the stimulation of children's imagination and their fundamental importance in the development of language and true literacy. It examines not only the vast range of children's books available but also how to introduce young people to the joys of reading in the home, the school and in the community. The book has been written as a resource for all adults, especially teachers, student teachers, librarians and parents, and those who care about the value of literature for children. It is a comprehensive and critical guide, with chapters on the history of children's literature and an analysis of its many forms and genres, from poetry, fairytale, myth, legend and fantasy, through realistic and historical fiction, to humour, pulp fiction and information books.

An original look at history that profiles 30 children from different eras so that children of today can discover the lives of the cave people, Romans, Vikings, and beyond through the eyes of someone their own age. History books often focus on adults, but what was the past like for children? A Child Through Time is historically accurate and thoroughly researched, and brings the children of history to life-from the earliest civilizations to the Cold War, even imagining a child of the future. Packed with facts and including a specially commissioned illustration of each profiled child, this book examines the clothes children wore, the food they ate, the games they played, and the historic moments they witnessed-all through their own eyes. Maps, timelines, and collections of objects, as well as a perspective on the often ignored topic of family life through the ages, give wider historical background and present a unique side to history. Covering key curriculum topics in a new light, A Child Through Time is a perfect and visually stunning learning tool for children ages 7 and up.

"Your First 10 Years of Life: . . . Is Only 164 Days. Heres Why." was a title chosen by Jocelyn to grab the attention of childrens parents in the bookstore. According to Jocelyn, she sees a lot of her friends wasting time and missing out on being a child. Jocelyn spends her days without an alarm clock, without tests, and with plenty of exploring. In this childrens book, Jocelyn breaks down, in an easy to understand way, how much time children spend doing what they are supposed to do and how much time is left for them to experience life as a child. As childhood is such a breathtakingly short period of our lives, Jocelyn speaks from a child to a child that wasting free time watching television or playing video games is not the only option.

An entertaining story which is meant to empower children, of all ages, to celebrate their uniqueness in being a "One and Only." Hopefully, this book will help open doors of dialogue between caregivers and children regarding the reasons for having or adopting only one child and to highlight the positive results of that decision. This special story was produced in a black and white format as an open canvas for the reader to personalize in his or her own way. We also want readers to "see" themselves in the story so the "ME" and "MY FAMILY" pages allow for each person to illustrate the characters in their own real-life stories.
