| 9781575830179 | Insects And Spiders (The Science Series, 8) | Kim Mitzo Thompson, Karen Mitzo Hilderbrand, Twin Sisters Productions | From School Library JournalPreSchool-Grade 3-Each cassette contains 12 songs related to the profession, such as "What Is an Insect," "What Is a Spider?," "Ants in My Pants" and "Fireflies Won't You Come Out Tonight" on the Entomologist tape. Many of the songs are simply familiar melodies with lyrics written to relate to the profession. Each tape and booklet features a brief, simple definition of the profession; the booklet also includes fact pages (single, short paragraphs) about related subjects, as well as some activity pages. No answer keys are provided, however. Text from the booklet is read by children; songs are pleasantly performed by both male and female adults, with some children as well. Black-and-white realistic illustrations and cartoons are included in the booklets. Very little actual information about the profession is provided, although each booklet concludes with a one page letter from an individual explaining what they do, how they got interested in the profession, etc. These units are definitely entertaining as a first introduction to various professions, but don't provide enough information for students needing to write a report.Leah Hawkins, West Hurst Elementary School, Hurst, TXCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.Product DescriptionProvides information on all sorts of insects and spiders. | Twin Sisters |

| 9780140374247 | James and the Giant Peach | Roald Dahl | From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG! Roald Dahl was a champion of the underdog and all things little—in this case, an orphaned boy oppressed by two nasty, self-centered aunts. How James escapes his miserable life with the horrible aunts and becomes a hero is a Dahlicious fantasy of the highest order. You will never forget resourceful little James and his new family of magically overgrown insects—a ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper, a glowworm, a silkworm, and the chronic complainer, a centipede with a hundred gorgeous shoes. Their adventures aboard a luscious peach as large as a house take them across the Atlantic Ocean, through waters infested with peach-eating sharks and skies inhabited by malevolent Cloudmen, to a ticker-tape parade in New York City. This happily ever after contemporary fairy tale is a twentieth-century classic that every child deserves to know. And Lane Smith's endearingly funny illustrations are a perfect match for the text. "All the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delight." —Kirkus Reviews "A stunning book, to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy." —The Chicago Tribune "The most original fantasy that has been published in a long time...[it] may well become a classic." —San Francisco Chronicle | Viking Books for Young Readers |
