I highly recommend |
My aunt was reading this book and I checked it out - seems great! |
These are both excellent books that I read before becoming a teacher. The authors also have a version for interacting with teenagers.  |
I often refer to this book in class when a question comes up about grammar. I can't imagine teaching without it! |
This book has a plethora of fun concoctions for kids to make using household ingredients - a great gift! |
These are always nice books to check out from the library. It's a good thing for the kids to browse too. |
