Holidays are coming and because I was a reading specialist, I believe that giving a book as a gift is one of the best ideas on the planet. So here is one of my favorites. Award winning book, God In Between, by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso asks the question, "If you wanted to find God, where would you look?" This is the magical, mythicl tale of a poor village at the foot of a hill - topsy-turvy town with no roas and no windows, where the people sneeze through tall tangled weeds and trip over rocks as big as watermelons. Surely God would help them, they decide... but how can God be found, where and should they look? They soon find the answer is much nearer than they thought. This inspiring story teaches that God can be found where we rae: within all of us and the relationships between us. Ages 4 and up. Look at The Reading Railroad Back Issues for more holiday gift giving ideas. III. Is there such a thing as an educational toy for kids? The holidays are approaching and as a grandparent it is time to start thinking about presents. The question occurred to me one day when I was writing an article for parents on the benefits of toys, directing them to my web sites. Being an educator, my conscious started working overtime, so I did some research. Is is the article and the results.... Educational toys for children, myth or advertisement ploy? IV.
