"Don't Get So Upset!": Help Young Children Manage Their Feelings by Understanding Your Own
$15.95
All childcare professionals were children once, and how their parents responded to their emotional expressions affects how they respond to emotional expressions by children in their own care."Don't Get So Upset!" examines the uncomfortable emotions providers feel-and the inappropriate ways they may respond-when children exhibit strong feelings, especially anger, fear, and grief. The book challenges teachers to reflect on their own emotional histories and to find strategies for responding to children in ways that support children's emotional health and development. It also examines how gender, culture, and societal roles can impact providers' responses to children's emotional expressions.

Tunney: Boxing's Brainiest Champ and His Upset of the Great Jack Dempsey
$15.95
This is a fascinating book and I loved every minute of it. But it meanders all over the place. It adequately covers Gene Tunney's youth in Greenwich Village, NY and how he got so good at defending himself from bullies that he ended up fighting for money. You learn about his stint in the Marines, and his burgeoning love for books and reading. You are at ringside for many of his early fights, including the wars with his early trainer and later with Harry Greb and Jack Dempsey.

But the book spends just as muchtime covering Dempsey's life. It also meanders into how Jewish people and Irish people got into boxing. It was fascinating because Cavanaugh is such an engaging writer. But I kept wondering "When will we get back to talking about Tunney? And why does Cavanaugh only devote 30 pages to the last 50 years of Tunney's (and Dempsey's) life? And why does he forget to mention their "dance" in the ring commemorating the 30th anniversary of their celebrated rematch?

These criticisms are more than enough to knock the book down a star or two. But Cavanaugh's gift for storytelling makes the book such a compulsive read that I had to give it 5 stars. Recommended for all boxing fans.

Hardcourt Upset (Chip Hilton Sports Series, Vol 15)
$5.99
The Chip Hilton series is a series of sports books. In the early books in the series a young man named Chip Hilton is in High School. Later in the series he is in college. Chip is an extremely bright young man who is also a star in baseball, basketball, and football. Chip is a leader on and off the court. These books teach children about morals and ethics.
In the previous book, called Tournament Crisis, State wins the Holiday Invitational Tournament. However, during the last few minutes of the championship game Chip hurts his knee.
This book, called Hardcourt Upset, begins where the last book left off. Chip is still injured from the tournament. He is sidelined for the first two games after the winter break. Because Chip is such a great athlete and mental leader and cant play, the team loses both these games.
Basketball however, is not his only problem. In Chip's college town of University, there have been several convenience store robberies. His best friend "Soapy" Smith is being accused of committing these crimes. Soapy is taken into custody of the police and detectives to see if the convenience store employees recognize him as the robber. Eventually Soapy gets a chance to explain that he is innocent because he was changing a tire at the time of the robberies. Chip decides to help find the people who helped Soapy change his tire.
At the next basketball game against Tech, Soapy recognizes the people who helped him. The Tech team players tell the detectives they were the ones who helped Soapy change the tire. Now the detectives must look further to find the robbers.
Chip and his pals from college agreed to watch the local convenience stores every night. One night when it was Chip's turn, he saw a man with two flat tires. When he asked the man if he needed help, he responded with a gasp as he heard some police sirens. Then he said in a deep nervous voice, "no, I'll just drive home with the two flats."
Chip thought this was very suspicious and jumped into the trunk of the car. When the driver parked the car in the garage, he jumped out and looked around. He saw a bag full of something he could not make out and got out of there. He called the detectives and they were there with Soapy in ten minutes.
When they rang the doorbell, an old man answered the door. Chip knew immediately that this wasn't the man had been driving the car. He asked, "Do you have a son?" "No, but there is a teenager who lives here." So they woke up the teenager and then asked him a few questions. After a few questions it was clear. This was the thief. He had a red wig and a mask in the garage. They also found all the money stolen from the stores.
Hardcourt Upset was an awesome book. It shows that if you think you can you will succeed in your goals. It also shows that even a small school can be a big school in some things.
