Don't Squeal Unless It's a Big Deal!.......2007-10-07
As a third grade teacher, this book is excellent for my students plus a few grades younger. My students have talked about the book several weeks since I've read it to them. I am buying another copy to share.

WHAT A UNIQUE BOOK. WHAT A WONDERFUL LEARNING TOOL........2007-05-10
This is certainly a unique book, or, probably a better word would be "odd." When I first read it, something I ALWAYS do before presenting a new book to the kids, I must admit to having been a bit stunned and put off. The critters in this story are mean, just simply mean, and not all that loveable. Actually, they acted like quite a number of people I run across every day, i.e. like the majority of humans in this day and age. This is the beauty of this book. Kids need to learn to cope with people who are sometimes mean. They also need to learn not to be mean themselves.
The story is basically about a Armadillo, who secretly listens to the other creatures talk, then goes around tattle-taling to the other critters, those being talked about and telling them what was overheard. To make a long story short, the Armadillo eventually has his ears chewed of by one of the other animals. The animals are somewhat cruel, and treat the Aramadillo rather badly throughout the story. Anyway, this set me to thinking. This book is a wonderful book to read to the children and gives the parent or teacher an opportunity to teach them many lessons. First of course is the evil of telling stories and gossiping about others, and the harm it can do. Secondly, it illustrates the question, is it right and proper or just to solve problems by throwing "hissy-fits" and treating others badly just because they have treated us badly? Thirdly, is it best to solve problems through violence, through intimidation and meanness? Of course not, to all three. This gives the parent and/or teacher hours and hours worth of dicussion, page by page, on just how NOT to act! It gives the teacher or parent and opportunity to point out the many alternatives to the problem and an opportunity to discuss those various alternatives. It gives an opportunity to show just how a simple problem can get out of hand if not handled in a civilized manner. I like that!
Now if you want a front to cover "happy book," then indeed, you should probably look elsewhere. This book is also one of those that certainly illustrates the fact that parents and teachers should probably review the books their children are reading from time to time, and if it is felt the child cannot handle it, then the child should be guided else where...that is one of the functions of being an adult, when you really think about it. All in all, I found the book to be great and very, very useful. Recommend this one highly, depending of course, if these are the lessons you want to teach and the method you want to use to teach these lessons.
Made my animal-loving son cry and extrememly upset.......2007-05-04
My 4-year-old son picked this book out himself at the school library, probably because it had animal characters (he loves armadillos and other wild animals) which were wonderfully illustrated (he can't read yet). I had not read the book prior to the first time I read it to my son. And I was disturbed when I did read it. I don't know what's worse...the armadillo who eavesdrops and repeats what he heard incorrectly, or the animals who "beat him to the watering hole every day and forced Armadillo to scrounge through the mud for a puddle of murky water to drink. It tasted awful and practically made him sick, so he drank as little as possible, and was always thirsty" ?? Very evil. The part that made my son cry was when the angry alligator violently chewed off the armadillo's ears, and it was accompanied by a scary illustrataion of an alligator with lots of teeth and fire shooting out of his nostrils. This page reads: "And now," she said, "I'll fix your ears so you won't be snooping and telling tales again!" And she opened her mouth and gnashed and clashed her big, strong alligator teeth. And then she nipped and snipped and clipped at Armadillo's ears until there was nothing left but tiny, teeny, itsy, weenie little ears." I thought maybe there was a redeeming ending, but not really. It didn't matter, though, because my son was so angry at all the animals and was telling me that the alligator needs a time out, etc. He was inconsoleable. He'll have nightmares about this one.
Great fun.......2006-07-13
For all children with imaginations and anyone who could learn something, this is a great little book about exaggerators and how to catch them, with a whimsical side to a mythological fact of how the armadillo got his ears. As a children's librarian I love this for storytimes.
On the bright side the illustrations are sumptuous and rich........2002-02-20
Unfortunately, the book has only unsympathetic characters. The armadillo while he repeatedly tattletales, doesn't learn how to improve his behavior, despite the grief it causes him and others, instead he is physically stopped by having his large receptive ears chewed down by the alligator. All his friends are mean, they throw "humongous hissy fits" ,they don't allow him to drink at the watering hole and they gang up on him. The writer lapses into using vague words like "what-for, how-come and why-not" that weaken the text and meaning.
My 4 year old boy overall found it a bit sad.On the bright side the illustrations are sumptuous and rich.
Delightful!.......2002-01-01
We loved it - the pictures, the story, the ending. The "we" includes mom and an eight year old - but it's suitable for preschool and up. Wonderful book.
Book Description
Meet the girl who knows all the rules . . . and makes sure everyone else follows them!
Tattletale Tilly, the youngest O'Toole,
made sure those around her kept every rule.
From her big sister Milly to her big brother Tom,

Little Tilly is such a squealer, both at home and at school. After a while her family has had enough of her self-righteous tattling. When her dad tells her the tattling must stop, Tilly realizes she needs help being more kind and merciful to others.
The whole family will love this rhyming read-aloud book from the Attitude Adjusters series. These stories help kids discover what it means to be more like Jesus in their attitudes and actions.

Good values.......2007-09-11
I love Joanna Weaver, so I had to pick up this book. Great illustrations, real-world situations. The rhyming/rhythm is a little off. That's my only complaint. My kids love it and request re-reads of it. That's my idea of a good book.

Book Description
Marie and Pierre Curie remain two of the most important scientists of the 20th century. Their pioneering work in the study of radioactivity led to the discovery of the elements radium and polonium. Later, they identified how atoms give off, or radiate, energy which would be the foundation for modern nuclear physics.
But for as successful as they were as scientific partners, theirs was also a love story. Coming from vastly different backgrounds, Marie grew up in politically repressed Poland and suffered the loss of a sister and her mother as a young girl. Pierre enjoyed an idyllic childhood and was educated at home by his brother and father. Although their friendship was initially based on their shared passion for science and research, it soon grew into a romantic love that would lead them to a personal relationship and professional partnership that would literally change the world.
Book Description
Focusing on the lives and relationships behind their magnificent careers, The Curies is the first biography to trace the entire Curie dynasty, from Pierre and Marie’s fruitful union and achievements to the lives and accomplishments of their two daughters, Irène and Eve, and son-in-law Frederic Joliot-Curie. Biographer Denis Brian digs deep beneath the headlines and legends to reveal the Curies’ multigenerational saga in its entirety, featuring new, never-before-published personal information as well as newly revealed correspondence and diary excerpts. Brimming with endearing and often amusing anecdotes about this much-misunderstood clan, The Curies reveals a family as closely intertwined in their private lives as they were in their professional endeavors.

A Workmanlike Biography.......2006-09-02
This is a good basic biography of Marie Curie. The writing is generally a little flat, punctuated with outcroppings of some rather odd word usages. For example, Pflaum consistently refers to Marie Curie being "enceinte," instead of simply saying she was pregnant. And we read about things like "the flairing of the wind." Not wrong - but something a little off about the phraseology here and there. It's as if Pflaum spent too much time in France researching her subjects and became distanced from the English language in the process.
However this book will certainly add to your knowledge of Marie Curie's amazing career. I found the chapter on her activities during World War I to be especially interesting. Curie and her daughter went out into the battlefields with the first mobile X-ray machines. They saved untold lives by being able to locate bullets and shrapnel in soldiers, and the exact site of breakages and other internal damage. I'd never realized Curie's brave contribution to that War effort.
Then you will find some unexpected insights into world politics here. In the course of discussing the Curies' contribution to the World War II effort, Pflaum explains how the Communists became an increasingly popular political alternative during the 1940s and 50s. They were so active in the wartime resistance, they gained the respect of a large percentage of the French and Italian peoples. Their heroism in defeating Fascism/Nazism no doubt played a part in establishing the Communist Party as a viable political faction in a number of European countries. Again, this was a larger back-story to the Cold War and succeeding geopolitical dynamics than I expected to find in a book simply about Marie Curie.
I wish though that Pflaum had supplied more scientific detail. You won't find much about the nature of radioactivity here so it's difficult for the reader to fully appreciate the Curies' achievement. You will probably want to check out some book of popular explanation of the atom to accompany your reading of Grand Obsession.
This book does convey Marie Curie's dedication to her work. She kept an unfailing schedule in her laboratory - through difficult personal times, through her own failing health. Because Pflaum's writing is not very inspired, this book will probably not inspire any young readers to similar heights of dedication to scientific pursuit. Grand Obsession may not have a very long half-life in your memory. But it radiates some of the spirit of Marie Curie.

Book Description
Hardbound. This volume comprises the lectures and a selection of communications presented at the International Congress on Chronobiology, held in Paris, in September, 1997.
During the last three decades it has been shown that a number of physiologic functions are regulated by a system of clocks controlling basel levels of activity and responsitivity to changes in the environment. At the beginning of this century (1935) Erwin Bünning was the first to demonstrate that plants and insects still displayed circadian rhythms after they or their parents were raised in constant conditions. Later on, he was the first to demonstrate that circadian clocks measure the length of the day. In the 1950s, Colin Pittendrigh provided strong evidence that circadianphenomena are not learned but they display endogenous properties, the periods of which are independent of environmental factors. Since then, a number of investigations have extensively documented properties
