| 9781338752564 | I Survived the Wellington Avalanche, 1910 (I Survived #22) | Lauren Tarshis | The Wellington snow slide of 1910 was--and still is--the deadliest avalanche in America's history. Lauren Tarshis's story of one child surviving the frozen nightmare pounds with page-turning action and heartwarming hope. The snow came down faster than train crews could clear the tracks, piling up in drifts 20 feet high. At the Wellington train depot in the Cascade Mountains, two trains sat stranded, blocked in by snow slides to the east and west. Some passengers braved the storm to hike off the mountain, but many had no choice but to wait out the storm. But the storm didn't stop. One day passed, then two, three . . . six days. The snow turned to rain. Then, just after midnight on March 1, a lightning storm struck the mountain, sending a ten-foot-high wave of snow barreling down the mountain. The trains tumbled 150 feet. 96 people were dead. The Wellington avalanche forever changed railroad engineering. New York Times bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tells the tale of one girl who survived, emerging from the snow forever changed herself. | I Survived |

| 9781575421308 | Know and Follow Rules | Meiners M.Ed., Cheri J., Meiners, Cheri J. | A child who can’t follow rules is a child who’s always in trouble. This book starts with simple reasons why we have rules: to help us stay safe, learn, be fair, and get along. Then it presents just four basic rules: “Listen,” “Best Work,” “Hands and Body to Myself,” and “Please and Thank You.” The focus throughout is on the positive sense of pride that comes with learning to follow rules. Includes questions and activities adults can use to reinforce the ideas and skills being taught.Meredith Kiger, Ph.D. - Children's LiteratureOne in a series of books designed to teach social skills to young students, this edition focuses on the purpose for and value of following school rules. Illustrated in crisp primary colors that portray diverse children in a variety of social situations, the book stresses the importance of rules in promoting the mental, physical and social well-being of young children. While the word respect is frequently used in the book, it is never truly defined as treating others the way you want to be treated which results in a somewhat dogmatic tone to the text. For teachers, there are pages of activities and interactive games to further extend the message of the book. Overall, it is a child-friendly method for reinforcing the all important social skills on which schools are having to spend increasing amounts of time. 2005, Free Spirit Publishing, Ages 4 to 7. | Free Spirit Publishing |
