1-2-3 Draw Princesses, by Freddie Levin, is one of series of drawing-stuff-you-like books by Levin.  Little girls will love to be able to draw their favorite princess.  And there are characters and castles in the book for young gentlemen who enjoy fairy tales.  Nancy

You can't under estimate the importance of math education for kids.  Or the need to work art into low budget school curriculums.  Freddie Levin scored a major coup by combing the two in Draw Plus Math.  It's a learn to draw book as well as a learn shapes, fractions, graphs and so much more book.  My daughter the artist, who is also an early education major, was thrilled with the possibilities of using Draw Plus Math in her classroom.  Nancy


Conn Iggulden is the author of a fantastic series of adult novels about Julius Caesar and one about Genghis Khan.  He and his brother, Hal, got together to write The Dangerous Book for Boys to fill in those gaps in life knowledge most kids can't help but have.  I sent a copy of the book to my favorite nephew.  Nancy

Don't miss Ancient Roman Women by Brian Williams and Women of Ancient Rome by Don Nardo.

I think our kids have become accustomed to short, sweet pieces of information because of television.  Apache Warriors, part of the Daily Life series, is not overly long, but it packs a lot into its 40+ pages.  Nancy 

PS  For more information, please visit Legendary Women of  History for our bio of this important Apache woman.

 

 

 

There's a whole series (beading, decorating, scrapbooking, etc.) of easy project how-to books from the Lizzie McGuire (Disney) folks.  The instructions are clear and the projects will appeal to girls who like crafts.  Nancy

Two kid craft books with projects I found useful are All-Girl Crafts by Kathy Ross and Easy Bead Crafts in 5 Steps by Anna Llimós.   Llimós has written a number of craft books for children available in Spanish and English.  Ross is also a well known crafts for kids author.

If you have a budding archeologist on your hands, he or she will want a copy of Mythology of Egypt and the Middle East by Rachel Storm.  It's one of many in her mythology series.    Nancy

 

 

You can't start enjoying nature too young.  And as soon kids stop putting everything in their mouths, they are usually collecting pretty rocks.  When they get older, this hobby can turn to an interest in gemstones.  For lots of good info in easy to swallow formats, try Stuart A. Kallen's Gems or Trudi Strain Trueit's Rocks, Gems and Minerals Nancy

Famous Figures of Ancient Times is a book of movable paper figures for kids who love history and costume.  Cathy Diez-Luckie has taken a different approach to Tom Tierney's paper dolls by offering more interaction as well as brief descriptions of the important men (her literature indicates women will feature in future volumes) she depicts.  I would have loved her book when I was a kid.  I plan to purchase the upcoming dinosaur and animal books as well.  Nancy

PS  I have also seen and enjoyed Diez-Luckie's Dinosaurs on the Move.  The promo material says, "Endorsed by by internationally known paleontologists," and I can see why. The detail is perfect for elementary students.  It was all I could do to keep from pulling out my scissors and making my own dinosaurs.  Kids will play with and learn from both books for hours.

I'm sure I've met a jewelry making book I didn't like, but I really like The Girls' World Book of Jewelry.  My copy has all kinds of bookmarks sticking out of it because there are several unique projects I plan to try.  Rain Newcomb has put together a great book for all ages.  Nancy

  London

I swear by pictures books with explanatory text for a comfortable look at geography, history, architecture and more.  Neil Morris' London summed up the city very nicely for me, and would do very well for young or old when a guidebook or an exhaustive study is too much.  Nancy

Joining the pirates is not a good thing.  Aside from the fact they're thieves and murderers, they seem to turn on each other with some regularity.  And well, their mothers were /are probably not proud of them.

But in the golden age of piracy so wonderfully depicted in Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl, the pirate lifestyle seems free and exciting - just as it was to the women who took up piracy and were strong enough to rise to the top.  Anne Wallace Sharp has the details in Daring Pirate Women.  Nancy 

PS  There are still pirates operating today.  They prey on the ocean going yacht crowd - and take no prisoners.  Beware.

Beginner books are not always for non readers.  Caroline Bingham specializes in clear and interesting text on all kinds of subjects.  I always learn something from her books and was especially impressed by Rocks and Minerals Nancy

Amazon:  In Search of Troy: One man's quest for Homer's fabled city by Giovanni Caselli

Legendary Women of History - Troy

We once made a very long drive while our daughter chanted, "Bephie, Bephie, Bephie," in her father's ear for what seemed like a million miles.   If I had a copy of "Are We There Yet" Travel Games for Kids by Richard Salter, perhaps I could have distracted her. 

After reading through the book, I certainly wouldn't travel without one when a child is going along.  Nancy

 

I've been through a lot of travel books as we develop our Travel pages.  One thing that appeals to me are the child-oriented picture books for older kids that show the details of a place or time.  An excellent example of this genre is Venice, Birth of a City by Piero Ventura.  Nancy
