Toys and Games Books

Excellent book for presenting not just objects with color but the feelings colors give us.

I love the pictures and very simple "story". The additional information on each page is great depending on age of child and interest and can start other discussions as well. This book will be used in my kindergarten classroom but I have also shared it with my grandson who is 3 years old and he became very excited by the pictures and initiated his own treasure hunt of yellow things in my home.

I work with the kids who are pictured in this book and personally know two of the writers. The photo's are great and it is very explainitory. I would reccomend this book to anyone wanting to learn yo-yo tricks.

This really is one of the best yo-yo books out there. Each trick is described in step by step photographic detail as well as textual. There is also a real logic to the layout. Too many yo-yo books go straight from easy tricks like walk the dog to intermediate tricks like the three-leaf clover to advanced tricks like split the atom in less than three or four pages. I don't know about yo-yoers out there but I had to get a whole lot more practice and tricks under my belt before I could move from a walk the dog to a split the atom. The sections on yo-yo history are just fun to read and the tips on care and maintanance are helpful. Also the last section on competitions from the tricks you need to know to the general information on them is a major plus. I've seen a lot of other books and honestly the only other I have seen that matches up is The Yonomicon by Mark Mcbride, but that really for just advanced level play. This book is just a great all around book for all levels. Also there is a whole section on two-handed play, a real rarity in yo-yo books

I know Keiko Motoama on a personal basis. Her children were my students. Very nice lady and her children are just as wonderful. I can tell you that she puts a lot of time and effort into her work. I watch her children so she can put full attention in her work.

Just as the title states, this book is amazing. The hands on activities really do help children to learn, feel and understand the senses and how our brain works. This book should be brought back into print for children of this generation. This is an excellent way for parents and their children to spend quality time together.

We have started with the data analysis/survey project (opening up a shoe store). The class came up with some great discussions on what shoes to include in the store, pricing of items, and cost of items for gender specific shoes. They found out that what they thought was popular others didn't and how much a girl would pay for a sneaker was different as to what a boy would pay. One even said that he had to pay more for sneakers because of his shoe size leading to the thought that they should stock higher priced mens' shoes and people would buy them. By the way, this was from a mostly special ed class.

This is a great book for broadening students' vocabulary! It is filled with fun ideas like vocabulary basketball, slang interviews (in which students learn about slang used in their parents generation), and wild word games. Also includes ideas for word walls. Ideas could be used to make spelling review more enjoyable as well.

If you are a fan of the Knight Rider tv series back in the 80s, you will know what this car is... I have been waiting for it to come in this scale (1/18) for 10 years.. It has finally been produced!!! Got it back in November last year when it was first released..And boy was I happy when it arrived at my doorstep...

This model is very detailed except fot the wrong coloured orange foglights on the front.. They are suppose to be white like the rest.. Other than that, this model is the best to represent KITT.. Detailed dashboards, removable t-tops, working scanner light, ejector seat and a working grappling hook on the front. Be careful though not to overpull it as it could get jammed.. Also comes with opening doors, hood and trunk..

Highly recommended only for serious collectors and fans of the series!!!

The standard central goal for a player of STCCG is to obtain 100 points, primarily by completing missions or objectives. This is done by bringing personnel, ships and equipment into play, then moving an attempting team to a mission. Once a mission attempt starts, the personnel will create away teams to encounter dilemmas which will challenge them in some way. Often if the personnel have the required skills or attributes they can overcome certain dilemmas' effects. Once the required dilemmas are passed, the personnel still active in the attempt must have the skills and/or attribute totals required by the mission to solve it. If the mission is solved, the player earns the printed points.

Other aspects of the game increase player interactions: ships and personnel can battle, or otherwise affect each other; cards like events and interrupts can alter the environment for one or more players; and points can be scored using methods other than mission solving.

One of the most attractive themes of the game is the differences between affiliations. These are groupings of ships and personnel based on the major interstellar powers of the Star Trek universe, and most decks will be based around one, or perhaps two, of these groups though first edition in particular allows the use of many powers.

I have used this and the higher level version of this book. They are great, short assesments for reading fluency. A passage with a word count is provided for the instructor, as well as a student page. I prefer to use these for instruction or practice, and use standarized versions for documentation such as Aims Web.

A very useful reference of what items were valued at in 1993. Offers values on American, British and German bears & toys. A lot of good information on the American brand of North American Bear Co. with the VIB and Vanderbear collections. Useful information on Steiff, Schuco Toy Co. and even Raggady Ann and Andy Dolls! I can't wait for a more current 5th edition but this 4th edition is a wonderful reference to at least see what items were valued at by 1993.
