A complete guide to teaching Danny, the Champion of the World. Includes an author biography, background information, summaries, thought-provoking discussion questions, as well as creative, cross-curricular activities and reproducibles that motivate students. "My father, without the slightest doubt, was the most marvelous and exciting father any boy ever had. " Danny feels very lucky. He adores his life with his father, living in a gypsy caravan, listening to his stories, tending their gas station, puttering around the workshop, and occasionally taking off to fly home-built gas balloons and kites. His father has raised him on his own, ever since Danny's mother died when he was four months old. Life is peaceful and wonderful. until he turns 9 and discovers his father's one vice. [+]
Soon Danny finds himself the mastermind behind the most incredible plot ever attempted against nasty Victor Hazell, a wealthy landowner with a bad attitude. Can they pull it off? If so, Danny will truly be the champion of the world. Danny is right up to Roald Dahl's impishly brilliant standards. An intense and beautiful father-son relationship is balanced with sublegal high jinks that will have even the most rigid law-abider rooting them on. Dahl's inimitable way with words leaves the reader simultaneously satisfied and itching for more. (Ages 9 to 13) -Emilie Coulter.

Review Kipper's Bedtime: [Press Out and Play] / Red Wagon Books:

Kipper's youngest fans will love to press out each sturdy cardboard shape and then look for its matching space in the book. Simple questions and illustrations provide clues to help toddlers identify missing objects as they move through familiar times of the day: bathtime, playtime, snacktime, and bedtime. Kipper, the TV star and well-loved, floppy-eared dog hero of Mick Inkpen's many books, loves bathtime. He blows bubbles, plays with his yellow duck, and-uh-oh-gets shampoo in his eyes! Early readers and reluctant bathers can help this pup wash out his eyes, find his ducky, and track down that bubble bath by pressing out the sturdy cardboard shapes and placing them in the appropriate indented spaces. Part jigsaw, part pop-up, this interactive book will be a hit with young kids, especially those who have snuck peeks at their older siblings' Kipper books, such as Honk! and Kipper's Book of Numbers. Love the press-out concept? Take a look at these Press Out and Play books: Kipper's Bedtime, Kipper's Playtime, and Kipper's Snacktime. (Ages 2 to 4) -Emilie Coulter.
