Larmand | Apr 17, 2019 | This is an interesting book that tells how money is made, used, and counted. It breaks it down so that the child can understand. It also tells about other money from different countries (currency).

MicaiahC | Oct 21, 2015 | The book not serves a resource for research but also has great stories of the symbols that make up the United States. From statue of liberty to liberty bell. The author does a very good job of telling the story of those symbols and why American history considers them eventful. The book serves another level for those whom never seen or heard stories behind the events because we learn about its people but not about those tangible objects.
Great to use as a starter for geography, history, compliments other historical events and also provides critical perspective because who decides what should be symbols for U.S. Good to ask students what symbols they fell worthy of mention.

Adrian.Gaytan | Mar 31, 2015 | This book is an informational book on frogs and toads. I liked many aspects of this informational book. The illustrations use watercolor to show the differences between how a frog looks contrasted to the way a toad looks. In one illustration, the author explains that toads have a special parotoid gland that not all frogs have. The purpose of this gland is to make poisons that help scare off predators. These glands look like bubbles right behind a toad’s ear. The illustrator used shadowing to create a 3-D effect to make the gland look as realistic as possible. Another aspect of why I enjoyed reading this book was that there were boxes on every other page to provide additional information. For example, on one page the author is describing the length of frog legs compared to the legs of a toad. In the box below the text, there is additional information that states, “African frogs are known as great jumpers. Some of them can jump as far as 14 feet (4.3 meters) in a single hop!” The author shared some additional information to go along with the paragraph talking about comparisons between frogs and toads. In that statement, I also liked how the author not only gave an example in feet but also used meters to show how far a frog could jump. The main idea of this book is to inform the audience about how to identify an amphibian and many differences between frogs and toads.
