Review Humanism, What's That: A Book For Curious Kids / Prometheus Books:Mrs. Green is teaching her daily science class one day when suddenly she receives terrible news: A popular student named Amanda was struck by a car on her way to class and has been hospitalized with serious injuries. "Let's all pray for Amanda," says one earnest classmate. "Surely God will make her well if He hears our prayers. " Mrs. Green is confronted with the dilemma that every public school teacher must be ready to deal with. While the church-state separation laws won't allow school prayer, Mrs. Green wants to do something to help her students cope with a life-threatening situation that has raised deep questions. Thus begins a conversation between teacher and students that forms the basis of this thoughtful work. Starting with the historic concept of separation of church and state, the curious youngsters' insistent questions lead to a consideration of philosophic issues: Why shouldn't they pray for Amanda in class? Why do some people believe in God while others don't? Is there life after death? What gives life meaning? In the course of what becomes a parent-approved after-school discussion, Mrs. [+]Green presents a humanist point of view, emphasizing science's explanation of life and freedom of thought. Complete with discussion questions, suggestions for activities, and a bibliography, this innovative approach to presenting humanism to young adults will be welcome by parents and teachers looking to expose their children or students to a secular philosophic perspective.

Review My Teacher Is an Alien (I Was a Sixth Grade Alien) / Listening Library:When My Teacher is an Alien was first published no one expected it to become an international bestseller. But the combination of sassy humor, pulse-pounding adventure, and unexpected bits of philosophy proved irresistible to kids, parents, and teachers around the world. Bowing to popular demand, author Bruce Coville created three more books about the lead characters - books that were not mere sequels but new adventures that forged the entire series into a unified story that reaches a towering climax in the final volume, where all questions were finally answered, the mysteries unraveled, and the threads of the personal stories drawn into a satisfying knot as tears, belly laughs, and big ideas jostle for position. This tenth anniversary edition marks the first time the series has appeared in hardcover, and the first time all four books have been gathered in a single volume. It's a must for collectors, and a perfect gift for young readers ready to reach for the stars.
