Great study aid for teachers taking the PRAXIS June 10, 2008
I got this book to help prepare for the PRAXIS test for Elementary Education Teachers. I have found the book to be very informative. I have heard it is very helpful for a study aid for the PRAXIS so hopefully it pays off.
Forgotten math book; test tomorrow.... April 2, 2008
Some may agree or disagree about this book, but as for my son...he is thankful for it. He has a test on the metric system tomorrow and forgot his math book. I was about to go searching online and then remembered the book. In the mathmatics section, there it was, the Metric System. It saved him from me and gave him what he needs to do well on tomorrow's test.
 great resource October 29, 2007

This book is very good to my kid. It covers not only literature and math, but science, art, history, etc as well. Both my kid and I like it.
a book of enrichment October 26, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is an excellent book. I read many chapters for my son before bed. We both like them very much. They broaden his knowledge and enrich his mind like nothing else. My son's school does not provide this much content. We would have missed significant literature, history, and geography without it. The authors have done an important and nice job!
I do see the math section is too easy for 3rd graders nowadays. We use BeeStar online math instead. Its free weekly exercises are about right and very helpful. Overall, this is an outstanding book loaded with fine content. I highly recommend it.
