I know a lot of parents would be only too eager to unwind their kids. But I think others and I don't want to argue if they would be a majority or a minority would be as creeped out by the whole unwind matter as we readers are. Think about the parents of troubled kids (if you know any) Some of them would send their kids away, toss them out of their houses, enroled them in a boarding/military school, consider reform institutions or foster parenting. But the book makes it look like the whole majority will prefer unwinding to any other option. <br /><br />That's the beauty of the book anyway. I found the whole premise unbelievable and yet I find that the writing talent of the author made me completly unable to stop reading it till the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198515447370947676.post-29856799578251279802013-05-18T21:12:09.715-05:002013-05-18T21:12:09.715-05:00The other two that my girls love are ones that you...The other two that my girls love are ones that you mentioned your library does not have. "Over in the Ocean in a Coral Reef" written by Marianne Berkes and illustrated by Jeanette Canyon has gorgeous modeled clay illustrations. I love to see all the detail in the pictures, and the last page is full of all the animals for the kids to find. We also own "Over in the Garden" by Jennifer Ward, which has bright and colorful illustrations where kids have to find the number that is hiding in the picture. My girls love to be the first to spot the hidden number. I highly recommend both of these.Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861296792124731941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198515447370947676.post-10219231381118585122013-05-11T16:03:34.706-05:002013-05-11T16:03:34.706-05:00And two of my next three reviews are also WWII boo...And two of my next three reviews are also WWII books.Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861296792124731941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198515447370947676.post-72471613517025010842013-05-11T15:54:34.783-05:002013-05-11T15:54:34.783-05:00Boy we both are on WWII kicks aren't we?

Sometimes the meter is a little off if you are trying to sing it, but the illustrations are beautiful. Oh, and the counting is a little wacky.
