Fairies: Petal People You Make Yourself (Klutz)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Rachel Haab

December 13, 2002
My daughter and I love these fairies. It is a wonderful little book that opens up oh so many pictures in our heads of things we can do with the bits and pieces. Regretted terribly that I had not ordered several to give away, and am going to buy a bunch to have a fairy making party this summer.

Jolly Songs (Jolly Phonics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
from: Jolly Learning Ltd

2005-01
The tunes are catchy as the words have been put to well known tunes but they are so short for each letter, which was a bit disappointing. The book is good and my 3 1/2 year old seems to enjoy the tunes. Perhaps 'short and sweet' is best for the little ones? Overall good value for money.

Why Is Snot Green?: The Science Museum Question and Answer Book (Science Museum Q & a Book)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Glenn Murphy

April 06, 2007
I am a Grand Ma and improved my Grand Ma ratings with all my grand children when I gave this to a 7 year old for Christmas. Cool, awsome, and other such things that are not often associated with Grand Ma's. All that said, I enjoyed the book myself as I have a hard and fast rule, don't give anything you would not like to receive. It is also the sort of book you can go back to over and over again, and, I am assured, it has a high swap value!!!

Essential A2 Biology for OCR (Essential A2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Glenn Toole, Sue Toole

July 30, 2004
This book provides a very clear set of notes on central concepts as compared to the Biology 2 book. Every chapter in this book is a double spead, accompanied with diagrams. Information is mainly in bullet point format, which makes revision easier. At the end of certain chapters, it has a summary test, which contains answers. This book only focuses on the core stuff, whereas biology 2 contains lots of unecessary information. At the very end of book, it has past exam questions taken directly from the past papers, not made up. This book does a fantastic job on homeostasis, respiration and mitosis and cell division.

the only criticism i would point out is like biology 2, it does not have a chapter on unifying cocepts, and it does not provide ... Read More:

Cooking Up A Storm - The Teen Survival Cookbook

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Sam Stern, Susan Stern

October 03, 2005
I bought this cookbook for my 14 year old twin sons, who have always enjoyed cooking alongside me, but never attempted anything on their own before.

They both instantly loved this book, saw lots of things that they fancied cooking, but, unlike many other cookbooks, felt confident enough to give them a go.

My sons are very dyslexic, but they found the layout easy to follow and the pictures useful.

These are not groundbreaking recipes, or even the best renditions of well-known dishes, but they work fine, are well illustrated and introduce young cooks to a range of techniques in a very straightforward, jargon free way.

There are also (from my point of view) helpful comments on diet and nutrition, delivered in a ... Read More:

First Book of the Piano (Usborne First Music)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Eileen O'Brien

February 27, 1998
I am twelve years old. When I got a keyboard, I wanted to learn how to play it. So I got this book and followed it page by page until I had finished it. Now I can play a lot of music. I don't think you will find a book much better than this one for learning how to play the piano or any keyboard instrument.

First Steps in Music Theory: Grades 1 to 5

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Eric Taylor

July 15, 1999
This little book is a brilliant guide for the beginner in music theory, or for the student who just needs to brush up on basic knowledge. It is suitable for children and adults and explains such matters as rhythm, key signatures, time signatures and virtually all the details of basic music theory in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way.
There are very few really "easy" guides around on music theory, but this must be one of the best.
