Book Description
Parents exert a definite and strong influence on their children in terms of personality, but do they influence them in terms of economics and occupation as well? This study maintains that children's occupational choice is indeed related, in a systematic fashion, to the influence of their parents. The Roots of Success presents the first consistent theory of "occupational following" from an economic perspective.

Soldiers, scientists, performers, writers, entrepreneurs, politicians, quilt makers, pilots... as author Lynne Cheney writes, "America’s amazing women have much to teach our children--and much inspiration to offer us, as well." Coming on the heels of America: A Patriotic Primer (Cheney’s previous collaboration with illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser), A Is for Abigail celebrates the achievements of women in American history, with a special emphasis on the individuals who helped win equal rights for women. As with America, Cheney uses an alphabet book format to introduce hundreds of remarkable real women: "O is for SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR and others who were first." In addition to the first woman Supreme Court Justice, the "O" page includes Wilma Mankiller, first woman chief of the Cherokee Nation; Jeannette Rankin,... |

If you can afford only one all-purpose parenting book, this is the one. Kelly's fame began with The Mother's Almanac (LJ 11/15/75) and its successor, The Mother's Almanac II (Doubleday, 1989), now classics in the field. Here she packs 600 two-column pages full of humorous, common-sense advice on parenting and family issues. Kelly writes in a fun and breezy style ("the eight...is a flibbertigibbet, who skims the surface of life") and offers wisdom to help parents deal with and transcend petty problems ("your worst day with children is still better than your best day without them"). She deals head-on with the changing families of the 1990s: overambitious parents, real-life fears, reluctant scholars, abuse of all kinds, and special-needs children. For its breadth of coverage, common sense, and comfortable style,... |

Horning articulates the reviewer's goal as "an informed and reasoned opinion clearly articulated so that others can learn about books they haven't seen." Toward that end, she begins with an enlightening discussion on children's publishing and ends with a practical presentation on evaluating books and writing reviews based on sound analysis. In between, she divides the literature into books of information, folklore, poetry, picture books, beginning readers, transitional books, and fiction, and cogently discusses each one. Pleasing design makes the book all the more readable. The appended source notes comprise a complete, chapter-by-chapter listing of books and magazines quoted as well as those simply mentioned in the text.
