[size=small]Smile a Lot
(Picture Books) (Hardcover)
by Nancy L. Carlson
5 stars
A book about looking on the bright side!!!
Reviewers' comments:
I haven't purchased this book, but I've checked it out from the library and kept it as long as they would let me. I read this book to my children every night for several weeks. It became a favorite of mine. As a result of this book, one of my favorite pieces of advice to my children is to "smile a lot!" They usually give me an, "Oh! MOM!!!!", but they get the message. I think it's an awesome book to show kids that there is a way to get through difficult situations. I highly recommend this book.

[size=small]One Guinea Pig Is Not Enough (Paperback)
by Kate Duke
5 stars
a counting book
Duke's adorable guinea pigs romp through the pages of this cleverly layered and constructed concept book. Counting and basic addition of numerals from 1 to 10 are introduced in a spare but clever text. Visual reinforcements abound as one guinea pig totes one wagon that holds one of each kind of toy. As the numbers of animals increase, so do the objects on each page, implicitly introducing the concept of sets as the spread with three "giggling guinea pigs" shows them cavorting amid three crayons, three balloons tied to one guinea pig's waist, and three paper clips tossing or tipping from another one's ears. Math symbols such as equal and plus signs are incorporated into the acrylic illustrations in which pastel pinks, sunny yellows, and baby blues predominate.

[size=small]Mrs. Piggle Wiggle Boxed Set (Harper Trophy Books (Paperback)
by Betsy MacDonald
5 stars
Look like the book version of The Super Nanny!!!
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has been wildly popular with children and adults for over 50 years. Children adore her because she understands them--and because her upside-down house is always filled with the smell of freshly baked cookies, and her backyard with buried treasure. Grownups love her because her magical common sense solutions to children's problems succeed when their own cajoling and yelling don't. For the child who refuses to bathe, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle recommends letting her be. Wait until the dirt on her body has accumulated to half an inch, then scatter radish seeds on her arms and head. When the plants start sprouting, the nonbather is guaranteed to change her mind about that bath.
But seem to have lots of words!!
Reading level: Ages 4-8

[size=small]Dick and Jane Series
by William S. Gray
original illustrations from the 1960s Dick and Jane basic readers. Filled with over 30 stories, these books are for beginning readers, parents, and grandparents alike!
But the illustations really look very old fashioned !! contents resemble nowadays boxed set readers.
Re: 分享外國 或 台灣童書 (1-8歲適用) 收穫 - PART 2 (as from 27 Sept 05)
ladies,
i notice there is a significant upsurge in the no. of bk visitors/members. the peak can reach around 1700 persons viewing this website at the same time. in the past, it used to be only 1000 plp at most.

Hi Gloria,
I didn't notice that there are so many members /non-members surfing BK online at the same time.
I guess one of the possible cause of the sudden increase in no. is: it's in the peroid of application 06-07 primary application. Most parents want to get more information from the forums under the "primary session".
You really bought lots of books in your trips ar!!!

Bluestar,
I ate all ah... forgot to leave some for my son tim!!
yee? your son ate 6/8, you mum ate 1/8 and I ate 1/8 ---> that means you didn't have a bite?? Aiya.... sorry ah, I ate your share of 1/8 tim
Don't worry, I promise to buy 2 pandan cake for you if I go to SIN next time.
btw, I like your pandan cake more than Gloria's one cos I like light taste. But it's also good!!
I've tried 阿坤 kaya and 奶茶 last time at the food court of Takashimaya. Taste is not bad but not as good as expected! I definitely will try the local food at their 茶餐廳 next time.
