Review: “On the Move Mass Migrations” is an informative book with wonderful pictures depicting the migration of various animals. I love the bold easy to read print and the delightful, colorful pictures that fill the page and give the eye much to take in.

This is a good book to introduce the concept of migration to young children. I especially enjoy the teacher help pages at the end of the book presenting additional information and questions that can be used in a classroom setting. This book would be appropriate to use with small preschool age children, that will love the colorful pictures, as well as older elementary children that will benefit from the text. (rev.C.Delorge)

I support anything that supports reading. You would not believe how many of my friends with kids (that are professionals even) have absolutely not books in their house. Then some of them that own a kindle have no kids books on the kindle. I keep thinking about that Fahrenheit book so I am happy for childrens book week.

I try to take the kids once a week but it ends up being once every two weeks. I go about 3 times a week because I work next door to the library. I use a lot of interlibrary loan since the selection at the branch is poor but you can order from several different local libraries including ones in different counties and a college. The kids are kind of loud since we go late and they are cranky so they have had trouble sitting through story time and puppet shows.

I believe that one of the reasons we have children is to teach us lessons. One of these is that we should be grateful for what God does for us and is doing in us.--Vera

Some of the people who have impacted me have been as ships that pass in the night. A brief encounter that none-the-less leaves a wake that lifts and floats you and somehow impacts you. Friends are not always forever. They are sometimes like ships in the night – passing briefly and casting a radiance on our being.--Vera

As each new chapter unfolds, we look at past days with wishful sighs longing for the sweetness of them. But each new dawn brings exciting adventures for the growing child to embrace as an adult and for the parent to embrace as one who has launched a wonderful ship on the sea of life.
When play is the work of children and imagination the fuel of discovery, the longings of a child's heart become fantastically real to them enabling them to engage in a world of wonder.
