Review # 1 was written on 2008-07-24 00:00:00 Andrew Lightheart my favorite book when i was a little girl. it's about a teacher who takes care of a little girl and her brother (i think) after he finds out they've been living in their classroom, because they are being physically abused at home. it was the first book that i couldn't put down, even to go to sleep. and, i LOVE to sleep, so that is saying a lot. AND, at the time, i wasn't a big fan of reading!

Review # 2 was written on 2019-11-20 00:00:00 Cassandra Dabor Titch is a story about a little boy who possesses things that are little. This big brother and sister possess things that are big. During the story Titch has a small seed which he puts in his sister's big pot. After a while the seed grew bigger and bigger and bigger. I liked this story because it has educational themes which can directly relate to themes taught in the EYFS but it can be a bit boring to read more then twice to the class. The story enabled children to really understand the concepts of what big and small, high and low means. It also relates to growth, the life cycle of a plant can be discussed after this story which has been illustrated throughout this book. The topic of growth can lead to how children grow themselves and how they have changed themselves. I believe this book lacks excitement but it has very good educational themes.
