Writing about math book was indeed a spontaneous decision on my part. I solemnly hope that this was a wise decision that I had made.

Pros and Cons of Downloadable Audio Books


With the incredible advantage of listening to your favorite book instead of reading it, the popularity of audio books has now gone through the roof. There are now more and more book titles with audio book versions.

Think about it - with audio books you can now save that extra time you spend reading a chapter on your favorite motivational book each morning before you leave for work. Apart from saving extra time, you are gaining extra knowledge in the process.

You can simply put it on to play while you prepare for work or even play it in your car on your way to work.

No wonder children, adults and even oldies have fallen head over heels in love with audio books.

Below are some of the specific advantages that audio books have over normal hardcover or paperback books:

-- Audio books are more cost effective to produce than hardcover and paperbacks. More so, those who love to conserve nature insist that if all books are audio instead of hardcover and paperbacks, this will save more trees and keep the earth better than it is today.

-- You can select the exact track you want to listen to instead of flipping through several pages in the case of normal books. This saves a great deal of time and makes it very comfortable for you.

-- You can listen to audio books while doing other things in the house, while commuting to and from work or even while jogging. With an audio book someone else does the reading, while you do the absorption.

-- You can listen to an audio book when its dark (example - when you are out camping and you've got no lights) but you can't read a book when it's dark. So, with an audio book you can go on vacation and still enjoy what the audio book has to offer.

-- You can save the time you spend reading to your kids each night before they sleep with an audio book. Unlike a normal paperback or hardcover book that you have to read to your kids, with an audio book you can simply play it for them until they fall asleep, thereby saving you the time.

More so, audio books that are specifically for children are more fun than your reading can be. You probably were not trained to talk like a rabbit, right? But most of the narrators of children's audio books were trained to read in ways that children love.

Blue's Clues - Blue's Discoveries



Blue's Clues - Blue's Discoveries
Blue's Clues features Steve and his friend, the sweet, long-eared, curious dog Blue. Each segment explores problem-solving, something that the show's young audience will deal with, in various levels, on a daily basis. Blue's Clues slowly offers up three clues to uncover what's missing, what Blue wants, and other examples that are easy for preschoolers to relate to. Blue's Discoveries contains two science-oriented stories that feature an experiment Blue wants to try and what Blue would like to do with recycled items. These experiments can easily be replicated at home by kids and parents. --N.F. Mendoza

Customer Review: one of the more educational episodes

I acknowledge the flaw pointed out by another reviewer that going around with a magnifying glass looking at things does not exactly constitute an experiment, but it's easy to forgive that since there are so many other good things in this video. This is my personal favorite, and my three and a half son loves it too. As a result, we've had to reenact the cyclone experiment and traipse around with a magnifying glass. The planets song is the highlight of the whole tape: a fun, catchy way to remember them all.

Customer Review: Teaches the wrong lessons

Please see my review of "Blue's Big Pajama Party" for my rationale in reviewing these Blue's Clues tapes. Briefly, I'm reviewing only those tapes that seem to me to present some problem, and my lowest rating of any of them will be 3 stars. It's an otherwise excellent series.

I understand well that the material that's presented here needs to be given at a preschooler's level. There's bound to be a great deal of simplification, or even over-simplification. But it should be *correct* as far as it goes. Scientific illiteracy is a growing problem in our increasingly technological society, and it would be best to start things off on the right foot, so to speak, in a child's science education. Unfortunately, neither of the episodes in this tape satisfactorily conveys the lessons they're intended to because the information they give is either misleading or flat-out wrong.

In the first episode, we're looking for clues about what "science experiment" Blue wants to perform today. Some of the experiments we see in the beginning are excellent examples. They run along the lines of, "What happens if...?" "Let's find out!" This is actually the essence of a good science experiment. But the "science experiment" Blue is pointing to with the clues -- and therefore the one thing about the episode preschoolers are most likely to remember -- isn't an experiment at all. It's just a demonstration of an interesting phenomenon. It's also something that's just as readily observable in the bathtub, although that isn't pointed out. No question is asked, and no answer is found. That's not an experiment.

Not even the otherwise helpful "Planet Song" is without problems. Blue and Steve "skiddoo" into a picture on the wall for this segment. Steve's attention is first drawn to the picture when a fireball, sporting a firey tail, swooshes past the inside of the frame. "A meteor!" says Steve. "In space!" WRONG. Meteors of that appearance are strictly *atmospheric* phenomena; they are NEVER encountered in space. And they make no sound, not even in the atmosphere. (For some obervers, there's an impression of sound associated with some meteors, but this is actually caused by electromagnetic interference that they're probably picking up on their fillings.)

The second episode is little better. It's ostensibly about recycling. "Recycle, recycle, recycle!" is chanted repeatedly, like a mantra. It seems the viewer is expected to take this as an article of religious faith, since it's never explained why recycling is a good idea, other than Steve's dislike of wasting packaging materials. They needn't have delved into complex environmental issues; a simple "So we don't run out!" or "Where will we put so much garbage?" would have been enough. (An old Sesame Street episode from my youth had a segment showing what happened at a garbage dump. It was fascinating, and would not have been out of place here.) But just as the "science experiment" turned out not to be one, the closest we get to actual recycling here is when Steve chucks some recyclables into the appropriate bin. Everything else is actually *reuse*. A child is likely to get an entirely wrong impression of what recycled goods are like. This is especially true of the "Recycle Town" to which Blue and Steve "skiddoo", as well as the recycled thing Blue clues she wants to make (a guitar from a paper towel tube, empty tissue box, and rubber bands.) How about a complicated looking machine that takes in waste paper at one end and spits out clean, new paper at the other? That sounds silly, but it actually would have provided a truer picture both of the recycling process and of recycled products.

Children will no doubt enjoy this tape. I know mine do. But it would be nice if they were being given lessons that weren't so misleading at the same time.

Customer Review: not bad, could use more room

this back pack is light, material seems cheap, only time will tell though. I'm in college and there's only enough room for 3 text books, 2 3subject notebooks, a water bottle and the other random pencils ect.

Customer Review: Sizes can be deceiving

Look closely at the size. It was not as big as we thought it was going to be. A good buy, though.
