The Reptile Room

Author	Lemony Snicket
ISBN	0439206480

Dear Reader,

If you have picked up this book with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale, I'm afraid you have picked up the wrong book altogether. The story may seem cheery at first, when the Baudelaire children spend time in the company of some interesting reptiles and a giddy uncle, but...

The Wide Window

Author	Lemony Snicket
ISBN	0064407683

Dear Reader,

If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted; but their lives, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about...

Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business

Author	Barbara Park
ISBN	0679838864

I got this out of the library for my 4yo on a classmate's mom's recommendation.

Specifically:

Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America

Author	Juan González
ISBN	0140255397

The only reason it gets three instead of four or five stars is, while I like Gonzalez's intent to steer clear of composing a text written in what he terms the "safari approach" (meaning a text geared toward the Anglo -- i.e. non-Latino -- reader in which the writer guides the reader toward knowledge of the...
