Good Ideas: How to Be Your Child's (and Your Own) Best Teacher
by Michael RosenWe live in a world surrounded by all the stuff that education is supposed to be about: machines, bodies, languages, cities, votes, mountains, energy, movement, plays, food, liquids, collisions, protests, stones, windows. But the way we've been taught often excludes all sorts of practical ways of finding out about ideas, knowledge and culture - anything from cooking to fixing loo cisterns, from dance to model making, from collecting leaves to playing 'Who am I?'. The great thing is that you really can use everything around you to learn more.Learning should be much more fun and former children's laureate, million-selling author, broadcaster, father of five and all-round national treasure, Michael Rosen wants to show you how. Forget lists, passing tests and ticking boxes, the world outside the classroom can't be contained within the limits of any kind of curriculum - and it's all the better for it. Long car journeys, poems about farting, cake baking, even shouting at the TV can teach lessons that will last a lifetime. Packed with enough practical tips, stories and games to inspire a legion of anxious parents and bored children, Good Ideas shows that the best kind of education really does start at home.
The Good-Luck Bogie Hat
by Constance C. GreeneA tale of two brothers, one lucky hat, and a whole lot of style Ben and Charlie are utterly preoccupied with fashion: Older brother Ben thinks he represents the cutting edge of what's hip, and younger brother Charlie tags along. Chief among Ben's treasure chest of dapper duds is his good-luck Bogie hat, a fedora that makes him look like Humphrey Bogart. But when Ben starts dating a girl named Penny, his notion of what's cool and what isn't gets thrown out of whack. Charlie stands by, indignant and amazed, as Penny wraps his older brother around her little finger. When Ben's grades start to slip, his parents shake their heads in amazement: Their eldest child has been bewitched! But when Ben spends his own money on a boring white shirt to please his girlfriend, Charlie finally decides to snap his beloved brother out of it. Hijinks ensue as Charlie schemes to save Ben, his sense of style, and even the Bogie hat from certain doom. It's up to Charlie to remind his sibling that being yourself is infinitely more valuable than trying to impress someone new.
Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices From a Medieval Village
by Laura Ann SchlitzStep back to an English village in 1255, where life plays out in dramatic vignettes illuminating twenty-two unforgettable characters.<P><P> Maidens, monks, and millers’ sons — in these pages, readers will meet them all. There’s Hugo, the lord’s nephew, forced to prove his manhood by hunting a wild boar; sharp-tongued Nelly, who supports her family by selling live eels; and the peasant’s daughter, Mogg, who gets a clever lesson in how to save a cow from a greedy landlord. There’s also mud-slinging Barbary (and her noble victim); Jack, the compassionate half-wit; Alice, the singing shepherdess; and many more. With a deep appreciation for the period and a grand affection for both characters and audience, Laura Amy Schlitz creates twenty-two riveting portraits and linguistic gems equally suited to silent reading or performance. Illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by Robert Byrd — inspired by the Munich-Nuremberg manuscript, an illuminated poem from thirteenth-century Germany — this witty, historically accurate, and utterly human collection forms an exquisite bridge to the people and places of medieval England.<P> A Newbery Award book.

Good Moon Rising
by Nancy GardenTwo teenage girls find unexpected love and confront homophobia in this Lambda Literary Award–winning novel from the author of Annie on My Mind. An aspiring actress, Jan is sure she’ll get the lead role in her high school’s production of The Crucible—so she’s shocked when the part goes to a new student named Kerry. Even though she’s hurt and disappointed, Jan can’t imagine not being part of the production and accepts the position of stage manager. As she begins to work with the cast, Jan and Kerry develop a friendship that soon grows into something more, which doesn’t go unnoticed by the arrogant male lead, Kent. When Kent spreads rumors throughout the whole school, Jan and Kerry become the center of another kind of witch hunt—one that threatens to destroy their new relationship and their self-worth. Good Moon Rising is a moving novel anyone can relate to—“a story of the outrages heaped on any teenager suspected of being different” (Kirkus Reviews).

Good Teaching: A Guide for Students
by Richard A. WatsonFrom the back cover: EDUCATION From junior college to Ivy League university, the level of teaching ranges from "great to awful," according to Richard A. Watson, who explains not only how to survive but how to profit from and enjoy your college experience. To help students make important personal choices- What school? What major? What classes?-Watson discusses such broad areas as administrative structure, institutional goals, and faculty aspirations. Charging the student with the ultimate responsibility for learning, Watson presents certain academic facts of life: teaching is not the primary concern of either faculty or administration in most institutions; few professors on the university level have had any training in teaching, and even fewer started out with teaching as their goal; senior professors do not teach much-the higher the rank and salary, the less time in the classroom-and those seeking tenure must emphasize research to survive; and almost certainly, the bad teacher who is a good researcher will get paid more than the good teacher who does not publish. This is a book about good teaching and how to find it. Rejecting the conventional wisdom that a professor devoted to research will not be good in the classroom, Watson advises that you take classes from that "old bear" you are afraid of, from the professor you may have been cautioned to avoid. "Professors who are really devoted to research in their fields are the best teachers," Watson counsels, "at least for students who know what they want and are willing to give their all for it." The reason: "Most college professors are where they are because they fell in love with a subject matter. They think nothing else in the world is more important than learning it."
The Good Thief: A Novel

Young Ren is missing his parents and a hand and doesn't know what happened to any of them. So he is beginning to fear that he will never be claimed from his cold New England orphanage: that his dream of a family - of a life - will come to nothing. But one day a glamorous stranger arrives at the orphanage. To Ren's astonishment, the charming Benjamin Nab says he is his brother, come to bring him home. And even when his stories grow more and more extraordinary, when he puts Ren's life in danger again and again and sets him first to theft and then to grave-robbing, Ren cannot quite abandon hope. That one day all the hunger and danger and unwanted excitement will be worth it, that he will find a family. But whether Benjamin is to be trusted is another story...

Praise for The Good Thief"Every once in a while—if you are very lucky—you come upon a novel so marvelous and enchanting and rare that you wish everyone in the world would read it, as well. The Good Thief is just such a book—a beautifully composed work of literary magic."—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love"Darkly transporting . . . [In] The Good Thief, the reader can find plain-spoken fiction full of traditional virtues: strong plotting, pure lucidity, visceral momentum and a total absence of writerly mannerisms. In Ms. Tinti&’s case that means an American Dickensian tale with touches of Harry Potterish whimsy, along with a macabre streak of spooky New England history."—New York Times
