Me and My Place in Space (Dragonfly Books)

Rating:
Summary: Great for bedtime!
Review: My son and I could read this book every night. I love answering all of the questions this book evokes from him.

Rating:
Summary: The kids on a bus say talk talk talk
Review: the book was ok, but the idea of the kids telling the driver where they lived was a little dumb... but it does portray the information well

Rating:
Summary: demonstrates a difficult concept well
Review: We use this book and its predecessor, Me On The Map, to teach map concepts in First grade. Children this age generally have difficulty with the "nesting" idea of these things--that you can be in a county, state, country, continent, on a planet, and in a solar system, all at once. These books do a good job of making this more tangible and easier to grasp. It is especially effective when students do a re-write following the reading and personalize it to their own place on the map.
