Flotsam (Caldecott Medal Book)

Book Description

A bright, science minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam--anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there's no way he could have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share... and to keep.

Absolutely beautiful.......2007-10-10

Beautifully done. Its too complex for my 16 month old right now but I can see her loving it as much as we do in the future. I won't be surprised if it becomes one of her favorite books to read. When that time comes we will have lots of fun making up stories to go with the pictures.

Beautiful Book.......2007-09-27

This book is a wordless story appropriate for children of many ages. The pages are full of beautiful illustrations that actually tell a story without having to use words. It also gives children the opportunity to use their imaginations to some degree because they are not strictly told what happens. In it, a boy finds a camera washed up on shore and develops the film. The pictures reveal underwater fantasies in large, brightly colored images.

Intriguing and beguiling.......2007-09-20

When my wife first saw this in the bookstore, she called out, nearly shouting, "Look at this." One look wouldn't do - couldn't do! The detail and clever storytelling in this book are amazing. This book belongs on the shelf of every illustrated book lover.

Excellent Product & Prompt Delivery.......2007-09-15

This item was exactly as described in the item description. It was in the original packaging and is in excellent condition. I am very satisfied and I highly recommend this seller and product to everyone. This is an excellent book by an excellent author!

No Words!.......2007-08-27

This is a beautiful book. Great pictures. But, no words. My child was very confused when there were no words to read. It does allow you, however, to expand and make up a story. But, I would have liked to know that this book had no words before I bought it!

Adult uses for Zoom.......2007-10-05

The series of pictures in Zoom are fascinating discussion prompters and for the adept trainer (in areas of communication, leadership, problem-solving, decision-making, etc.) they pose endless possibilities for engaging and meaningful workshops about not having the full picture, the importance of understanding the world around us, or utilizing specific communication or leadership techniques to solve problems.

magic!.......2007-09-25

Thank you Amazon for the book, 'Zoom'. I bought 2 copies 2 years ago and recently 2 more from you, for my little friends and some big friends too. It has brought magic and a sense of wonder to all that look at it - and all done without any words! Brilliant.

Don't read the discription, just enjoy!.......2007-09-05

I found this book at the library and knew nothing about it, so when I opened it up, I got to experience it without the foreknowledge of what I was about to see. As a result I got to experience the enjoyment of each surprising page turn. If you get this book, don't spoil it by reading anything about it, just open to page one and enjoy the ride. Such a fun book for any age. I loved it as much as my six year old did. Mr. Banyai has a wonderfully creative mind, and this is definitely one of my most favorite wordless picture books.

Zoom Out.......2007-05-15

This book was mentioned in another book I was reading and I was curious about it, so I ordered it. Even though the title is "Zoom," it seemed to be a "reverse" zoom to me, i.e., it had already zoomed and was now zooming out. Regardless, I enjoyed the book for what it was and found the idea extremely creative. When we're having a not-so-good day because little things are going wrong, looking at this book would be a good way to help us gain back our perspective.

Great for group activity.......2007-03-23

I purchased this book to use in a group activity. The sequence of the pictures is pretty remarkable. I took a smaller sequence of the pictures matching the size of group I had and had them determine the order of the pictures by discussion and viewing only their one picture. It was a great team builder and communication exercise. However, the book is also a fascinating use of a zooming perspective of a series of items.

A "must have" for anyone implementing Words Their Way........2007-07-28

Sorts 1-5 are concept sorts, 6-11 are picture sorts for phonological awareness, 12-14 are alphabet knowledge sorts, and 15-27 are sorts for beginning consonant sounds. Assessments are included for each group of sorts. Instructions for introducing/demonstrating the sorts are given, as well as notes for the teacher, literature links for read-aloud, extension activities and my favorite - shared reading texts. I think that this is a fabulous resource and after teaching first grade for 5 years, I plan on implementing Words Their Way in my kindergarten classroom in September. I also think that this is a must have for anyone planning on implementing the program. I don't think that the WTW textbook offers the range of resources in this book.

Reading Specialist.......2005-10-24

This is a very helpful book for ESL Kindergarteners! I have all the Words Their Way books and have used them at every grade level in my elementary school.

A MUST for K-2 teachers........2005-02-21

Like the other Words their Way materials, this volume continues the wonderful tradition of combining excellent teaching ideas with the black line masters so you can use the strategies immediately. This level is especially appropriate for students learning letter/sound relationships. It gives dozens of poems and stories which have sorts to support teaching them. There are old faithfuls such as "It's raining, it's pouring" to new poems that teach phonemic awareness, rhyming, visual discrimination and sight words. My favorite is the alphabet printed in several different fonts so students can learn all the ways 'A' might look. I wish I had this 21 years ago when I started teaching. I use it daily now.

Kids love to tell the story.......2007-06-13

This book is for younger kids than David Weisner's so although it's not as beautiful as Weisner's picture books, my kids (5 & 4) can understand the story better. I have them tell me what's going on as we look at the pictures, and this has become one of their favorites.

It is What You Make of It.......2007-06-11

When I presented this little red book to five-year-old twins, I honestly wasn't sure what their reaction would be. I was pleased to discover they were as immediately enthralled with it as I was. They took it to the couch, looked through the pictures for a few minutes, and be to tell each other stories about the book. Even better, this book as inspired them to make their own wordless books, which they delight in sharing with anyone who shows an interest.

Interesting journey.......2007-04-18

I really like using this picture book with my older readers. They are always suprised and full of questions as they "read" it. Wordless picture books aren't always just for the younger readers. This is a book that kids may return to time and time again. It's a little episode of "The Twilight Zone" between the pages!

Red book review.......2007-01-18

My son enjoyed the book very much, and thought it was very clever.

Great Red Book!!!.......2006-11-22

As a student-teacher I choose this book to write a lesson. There is so much you can teach with this. Comprehension, drama, writing, vocabulary yes, and of course, lets children use their imagination.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

Max’s brothers have grand collections that everyone makes a big fuss over. Benjamin collects stamps and Karl collects coins, and neither one will share with their little brother. So Max decides to start a collection of his own. He’s going to collect words. He starts with small words that he cuts out of newspapers and magazines, but soon his collection has spilled out into the hall. All the while, his brothers are watching. Benjamin brags that he has one thousand stamps. Karl is just a few coins short of five hundred. But a thousand stamps is really just a bunch of stamps, and a lot of coins is only a heap of money. A pile of words, however, can make a story.

Bright, bold pictures incorporating clever wordplay accompany this highly original tale about a younger brother’s ingenuity.

Recipe to become a writer.......2007-09-10

I find Max's Words to be an excellent tool for children on how to learn the principles of the structure of a language. The power of this book is that the idea can be adapted to any language. That makes me think that any child using it frequently may become, if not a writer, at least, an avid reader.

Max's Words.......2007-08-12

I find this to be a delightful story of a little boy that is looking for something to 'collect' just like his older siblings. They have their coin and stamp collections which they refuse to share, so it's up to the youngster to go out and find something of his own. What better collection is there than words?! As a primary, elementary school teacher, I think Max is right on the money, and hopefully my students will think so, too, when I introduce Writer's Workshop to them with a read aloud of 'Max's Words'.

Great Book!.......2007-07-16

I love the idea of this book. It's a great way to get early reader's excited about words and even fun for an adult to read too! My son loves this book.

The Word is Mightier than the Reptile.......2007-07-04

Most adults buyers of kids' books are book lovers themselves. I can't help but believe that they hope their little ones will internalize their love fo words and reading. IT's a laudable goal, but not an easy one. Kates Banks, however, succeeds magnificently in this imaginative book that transforms the metaphorical power of words into something much more literal!

Banks and the very talented illustrator, Boris Kulikov, begin with three friends: Karl the coin enthusuiast, Benjamin the stamp collector, and Max--who can;t think of anything to collect. TO make matters worse, Neb and Karl refuse to share. Suddenly, and to the derision of his two friends, Max decides to colect words. IT's not cleat what spawns this choice, but x proceeds systematically; proceeds sustematically, never reading words bigger than he can digesy. With a little confidence, Max moves on to bigger and bigger words, and then to words he doesn;t even know! As he embellishes his vocabulary, Kulikov throws in some clever visual puns, depicting the words to reflect their meaning: THe written worf "Baseball" is in the shape of a bat, the "O" in the word "dogs" is a collar, "hungry" is written on paper that has a big bight in it! "Alligator" and "crocodile" are long words with spikey teeth along their edges, together they from the upper and lower jaws of something one might call a "crocogator."

THrough Max's testing of words and word order, Banks and Kulikov go beyond vocabulary to tackle the possibilities of syntax: word order can make a big difference! Max discovers (and we share this through the pictures), that "A Blue Crocodile Ate the Green Iguana," has a different meaning than "The Blue Iguana Ate the Green Crocodile," a difference particularly significant to the iguana and the Croc!

But, there's more! The increasing energy and scope of the words' power seems like it could have been inspired by a combination of the old Monsanto "Shrinking Person" ride at Disbeyland, the runaway power of "The Sorcerer's Apprectice," and the dream-becomes-nightmare of "Alice in Wonderland." Max discovers that with enough words he can write a stoty. Eventually, a story emerges about a young worm (looking, not coincidentally, something like MAx. As Karl and Bemjamin discover that the word can be mightier than the pen or the sword, they try to steal it ftom Maxye otiginal authot. (This is defintely a book that adults as well as kids ca nrelate to.) "Karl scrambled for more words. He wanted the crocodleto eat the womrn." FOrtunately, Max is quicker--the worm (and MAx alingwith it--narrowly escapes through a hole, signifying Max's newly won confidence and se;f-acceptance.

I got this book right before my son was born and thought that it was odd with the few words, but my son loves it!!

I would recommend this book to everyone!

There are some kids books that really "stick" for kids. They get emotionally involved in the art and they love the story. Oops! is that book for my daughter. In her two years of life, we've probably read this book hundreds of times. Now she "reads" the ten words herself. (Ten words is just right for her to "read", and it was just, just right to read to her when she was a newborn.) Love this book!

Which is a nice early rhyme style story - learning about sounds and I guess you could say the texture and rules of language. However the story is almost pointless. Some of these animals are good and some aren't - but it is difficult to tell while - the Nofa on the Sofa is apparently an animal he doesn't like, but it just appears to be reading a book quietly.

I found the illustrations a bit unsatisfying as well. They are in colour, but when I compare them to the glorious detail of Horton Hatches an Egg (which is only coloured in three colours) then the Wocket in the Pocket does not match by any stretch of the imagination.

It is a simple easy story to rattle off at bedtime, it teaches rhyme but it doesn't inspire my children.

Delightful.......2004-11-15

This is a delight for kids and adults. It's fun to read out loud, with goofy creature names like yottle, nooth grush and quimney. I've read it many times to my two kids without getting tired of it. The artwork is fun and playful. What else would you expect from Dr. Seuss?

Fun for a while...........2007-05-16

My daugther loved this book the first couple of times she went through it but the objects aren't that hard to find and she was bored with it quickly. Still, the excitement she got from going through it the first time was worth the cost! Maybe she'll forget where everything is in a few months and it will be exciting again.

Great!!!.......2007-01-12

My daughter loves this book. She loves the Where's Waldo books, so she really was excited to get this one. This is a great buy!

My toddler is 2.5 and *LOVES* this book. The book has about 6 (I think) different princesses (such as Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Mulan) in their "settings" and has you "find" about 6 different items...but I have my toddler find other things in the pictures like "where is the dragon?" or "where is the fish"...there is so much to "find" and she is learning new word this way. LOVE it!!!

Disney Princess/Look And Find.......2005-07-03

I like this book.It is a nice book because you have to look for the princesses things. you have to read this book and find the things.

My daughter is 2 and this is currently her favorite "book". It is similar to the I Spy books but features the Disney Princesses in their respective settings. Each scene features 6 to 8 hidden items for your child to find. The pictures are exciting and colorful. It is fairly simple to find each item but a definite fun challenge for a pre-schooler, especially if they love the Disney Princesses! My daughter loves doing the same scene over and over again to see if she can remember where the selected items are hidden. The only downside is that I wish there was more of a story paired with each scene.

Book Description

Here is a highly effective and fun way for students to build their word power while they study in preparation for the SAT’s Critical Reading and Writing Skills sections. This learning tool is a set of flash cards—but flash cards with a difference! The front side of each card presents a humorous cartoon, a visual pun that relates to the headword at the card’s top. The pun supplies a clue to the word’s meaning, which is presented on the reverse side, with examples of the word used in sentences. For example, the headword hierarchy is printed above a cartoon showing Noah examining his work chart at his ark-building factory. His chart shows diagrams of higher arks at its top, medium-high arks in the center, at lower arks at its bottom. The caption reads: “A higher ark he built in the hierarchy of arks,” and the card’s reverse side gives students the meaning of hierarchy: “arrangement by rank or standing.” The boxed set contains a total of 200 vocabulary cards, each with its new word for test-takers to learn, its cartoon, and its pun.

Great way to visualize the word.......2007-08-13

I bought these for my daughter who will be taking her SAT's and really think that these flashcards are very helpful. You are able to visualize how the word is being used in a sentence with the cartoon drawing that is on each card. I wish that there were more words. Though I think this is a great tool for someone who struggles with vocabulary, to pass the SAT's you need more words to work with.

could be much better .......2007-08-02

The mneumonic and picture don't really tie well to the words definitions. There are much better study helps than this

Great Tool For Studying SAT Vocabulary!.......2007-01-11

As a junior in high school, I am constantly looking for tools to help me study for upcoming SATs. Using these flash cards, I was able to memorize the words quickly and effectively. The comic that is included with every word is a great visual aid as well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wishes to improve their SAT vocabulary! Great product!
