Old Macdonald Had a Farm (Classic Books with Holes)

I bought this on a whim when purchasing another item for my daughter's birthday and I must admit that it is a pretty wee book which I know she will enjoy, however it is expensive for what it is. My advice is that you can get similar for cheaper from a supermarket if you can get to one or go to a library.

Not the best, but by no means the worst!

11+ Practice Papers, Multiple-choice Verbal Reasoning Pack: Contains 4 Tests - 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D (11+ Practice Papers)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Childrens Books
from: Letts

NFER Nelson are the company that set the real 11+ Verbal Reasoning papers in many parts of the country - certainly they set them in the Essex area. I have been using them for years with my pupils as part of the final preparation. We have now changed to the Multiple Choice style, so I have found myself having to get a whole new set, as a result of which, I have discovered that ...

... if you live in the CSSE (Essex 11+) area, Amazon supply the whole set quite a bit cheaper when bought from here than when bought from the consortium!

Exactly the same pack from the Consortium - £11.99
from other book shops - £9.99
Here - It varies - but it's ... Read More:

An Inspector Calls (Heinemann Plays)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Childrens Books
by: J.B. Priestley

Didn't read this copy, but I have read the play and it's great. Although fairly old-fashioned, it's very easy to keep up with for young readers. Also came in perfect condition.

Recommended buy.

The Summoning (Darkest Powers 1)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Childrens Books
by: Kelley Armstrong

July 03, 2008
I really enjoyed this book, a great young adult novel. It definatley leads onto another book no different from any author really.

The charachters were well planned and interesting. I loved the otherworld series and couldn't wait for this one to come out.

In the UK this book came out in paperback so didn't set me back a fortune (£3.25 on amazon) so would definatley buy the next in the series.

If you like LJ Smiths Secret Circle or Meg Cabot 1-800-Where-are-you series, you should like these.,

But be warned this is not like to other otherworld books

It hasn't got mirrors it has bits of tin foil which give you a headache, it's like looking in the funny mirrors at the fun fair. Don't bother buying.

The Teaching of Science in Primary Schools

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Childrens Books
by: Wynne Harlen OBE, Anne Qualter

July 24, 2004
Wynne Harlen has done a great job with this book.

It is a comprehensive guide to teaching science in terms of;
teaching and learning styles,
assessment methods,
use of resources and ICT to help childrens' learning,
how best to use practicals (SC1) in science lessons,
helping children to question and think scientifically for themselves,
good cross curricular links.

I am a primary science specialist PGCE student at the moment, and was given a long list of course text books for science and didn't have a clue as to which one to choose.
Take it from me, choose this one, as my copy is well thumbed after only 6 months of my PGCE course.

The "Times" Good University Guide 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Childrens Books
from: Times Books

June 16, 2008
I had been using this book in careers class to help me decide which universities I was going to apply to, and this book was exceedingly helpful for this task.
This book gives a league table of universities and also ranks them by each subject for example, Law or History. Another important aspect of this book is that it describes the universities making it truly invaluable to any A-Level student.
However, I only gave this book four stars because the vast majority of information is available online - in the Times website and also through the universities' websites.
Overall I would say that this book is very useful and definitely needed for any student who wants to make the right choice of university - after all it is one of the most ... Read More:
