.Dinosaurs (Usborne Beginners)
City Travel Guides > Books > Ages 9-11
by: Stephanie Turnbull

June 30, 2006
Usborne books can usually be relied upon to deliver, but this one is a little disappointing. It is sold as a book for children who are beginning to read on their own, andthe language is appropriate, but the amount of text could be off-putting to an absolute beginner. Most of our favourit dinosaurs are there, as well as many less well-known ones. Illustrations are a bit fanciful - Apatosaurus with purple, blue and green markings; Allosaurus with "go faster" stripes and Stegosaurus with a "sunburst" underbelly. The book rightly points out that no-one really knows what colour they were, so the illustrations might be correct. However, they conflict with conventional representations (for example in the BBC "waling with Dinosaurs" series) and this ... Read More:

.The Teaching of Science in Primary Schools
City Travel Guides > Books > Ages 9-11
by: Wynne Harlen OBE, Anne Qualter

July 24, 2004
Wynne Harlen has done a great job with this book.

It is a comprehensive guide to teaching science in terms of;
teaching and learning styles,
assessment methods,
use of resources and ICT to help childrens' learning,
how best to use practicals (SC1) in science lessons,
helping children to question and think scientifically for themselves,
good cross curricular links.

I am a primary science specialist PGCE student at the moment, and was given a long list of course text books for science and didn't have a clue as to which one to choose.
Take it from me, choose this one, as my copy is well thumbed after only 6 months of my PGCE course.

.Stick Up for Yourself: Every Kid's Guide to Personal Power and Self-Esteem
City Travel Guides > Books > Ages 9-11
by: Gershen Kaufman

October 31, 1999
I bought this book for my 8 year old son who really lacks confidence in himself and i was hopping this book would help him 'find his voice'. I tried to go through it with him but just found it too in depth and heavy. It talks about all the feelings you may experience everything fron joy and suprise to anger and rage which i felt confused my son. I wanted to help my son stand up for himself but all i feel i have done is bombarded him with alot of information that was maybe too much for him to take on board. I know there is no quick fix for helping a child with confidence and self esteem but i was very dissappointed with this book.

.The Never-ending Story (Puffin Books)
City Travel Guides > Books > Ages 9-11
by: Michael Ende

January 29, 2009
I've read this book several times in my life and for all the fantastic readings I had, I gave it 5 stars, though this time, I had a great favorite in the characters and it was Atreju, meaning Bastian was too conceited and self-important for me to like him, right until the end.
I really feel there're 2 parts in this book and I really prefer the first part (5 stars, even 6!!!), but the 2nd part is worth four stars only I fear.
