Fun book!
This is a fun book.The pictures are interesting.We got this for our son when he was only a few months old, and at 2 he still regularly wants to read it.It's got a lot of different sports in there, from hockey to javelin.Any sports fan will probably love it!

my son is obsessed
My 26-month old son is obsessed with this book. It's gotten so much use that the spine is now held together with clear packaging tape. The drawings are really great, and the vocabulary is solid. I also like that there is a nice gender balance and a wide range of sports represented, from the usual suspects (soccer, football, baseball) to more unusual ones (fencing, archery, pole vault).

Eh - didn't wow my 20 month old
This book was recommended on a bunch of lists I saw but my 20 month old hasn't been into it yet.Maybe in time but I feel it might be better for the under 12 month age range. ... Read more

Product Description
Spend less time planning and more time personalizing lessons with these practical guides. Previously compiled in a two-book set titled Physical Education Teaching Units for Program Development, these highly acclaimed unit plans provide a detailed scope and sequence for an early childhood movement program and an elementary physical education program.

The 135 units in these four books integrate movement concepts and skills into games, gymnastics, and dance experiences that children really enjoy. They contain clear objectives, sample assessments, and fitness activities that reflect the National Standards for Physical Education and the National Standards for Arts Education (Dance). New and experienced teachers alike can adopt the ready-to-use units as a complete instructional program or select specific units to enhance their existing curriculum.

Successfully used in public and private schools in suburban, inner city, and rural areas, the units are logically arranged to build on the motor skills acquired at each student's unique stage of development. Each unit contains a progression of learning experiences, and each learning experience, in turn, is broken down into tasks that help students perform movement skills or understand movement concepts. To increase communication, learning, and motivation, the learning experiences are written in conversational, developmentally appropriate language and can be used as models for effective teaching.

Written by five specialists in physical education and dance, who together have more than 100 years of teaching experience, Physical Education Unit Plans will dramatically reduce time spent in day-to-day planning and preparation and challenge students to reach their full movement potential. ...

Never got the materials
I have not received these materials and I would not suggest buying anything from this seller.

Creative and field tested
I found this text well thought out and useful to both teachers at thepreschool/kindergarden level as well as to parents, particularly withchildren needin more and better structured exercise.The ideas arecoherent and clearly well tested.

This book is a waste of money if you want real ideas!
This book is a waste of money if you are a physical education teacher who simply wants ideas to use in your classroom.The chapters are hard to follow, and are not written in a way that allows you to pick out simplecues, ideas, etc. to implement.The book is written alomost like aclassroom textbook, rather than a book to aid teachers with teaching ideasand techniques.I do not recommend this for anyone! ...

Let your fingers do the walking—and dancing, and playing, and skating, and wagging. Children really get caught up in the action with this cool new series of board books. It’s wonderfully simple: kids stick their fingers through the holes and they become part of the picture. Does the bug need antennae? Do mighty monkeys need some arms? Then that’s what the fingers will be. Four great titles—some with two holes and others with one—offer lots of opportunity for fun. Every picture will light up kids’ imaginations.

Product Description
Exhilarating, all-new, kid-friendly verses capture the range of emotions, from the thrill of winning to the agony of losing to the sheer joy of participating.  Jack Prelutsky, America's first children's poet laureate and a virtuoso at making poetry fun for the elementary school crowd, includes in this collection poems about the popular sports that kids play—team sports, individual sports, and even backyard frisbee tossing. The bouncy rhymes beg to be read aloud and lend themselves to easy recitation. Caldecott Medal Winner Chris Raschka's stylized watercolors are a blaze of color and motion. An ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Book of 2007, this exuberant picture book proves that poetry can be as much fun as playing games! ... Read more

A teacher's idea
My grandson's first grade teacher wrote grandparents about her upcoming class instruction in poetry and asked if we would write a poem.While I did, I also went to Amazon to buy a book of appropriate poetry.This book more than fit my goal.Beautifully done.

Fun book!
This is a great book!It's got fun rhymes about all different kinds of sports and games.I would recommend it for kids that are 4 or 5 and older, though -- my 3 year old has a hard time focusing on the art and following the rhymes.I'm sure he'll love it when he's a bit older, though.

A fun series of rhymes

Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Clifford the big red dog has become a big franchise.The repetitiveness of the series soon becomes boring to adults.Basic plot: Clifford gets in trouble, but he's such a good dog, it always works out in the end.BUT, the kids in my library like them.They check them out over and over and the lessons that are taught and the good fun makes them good, but not great books.

Funny
My little 5 year old sister love this book. She'll come up to me and ask me to read it. It also teaches them that being good isn't always the best. ... Read more

Product Description
The originality, humor, and quick energy of the four previous Animagicals have been greeted with enthusiasm--witty paintings on pull-out pages compared and contrasted animals with transportation, patterns, music, and color, while lively verses expanded and elucidated the art. In these current volumes, the author and the artist, in their inimitable styles, have undertaken to explore the worlds of sports and homes: A tennis racquet turns into a beaver, a spiraled shell into a hermit crab. These unlikely combinations make enormous good sense if, like children, you have an open mind, an imaginative eye, and a belief in the power of Animagicals! ... Read more
