I was just writing to a friend and, as I recall it, there’s like 7 basic (cliche) plotlines used in most romance novels such as "the poor but beautiful governess falls in love with the grouchy but actually wonderful master of the house." (Used in Jane Eyre and countless Harlequin romance novels.) Can you name any?

I am in a children literature class and I need 2 science fiction books for my file. They can’t be more than 200 pages long (i have too much to do to be reading a 500 plus page book) and it has to be good. I have already read the Giver and A Wrinkle in time in class so I can’t use them.

Does anyone know of an children’s books for children in grades 2-5 that would represent the different ethnicities found in the US? I am looking for one book for each culture.

I am a first year teacher and teach a variety of different classes. I need some help when it comes to my lit classes. What are good books that I can potentially get to have my 7th and 8th grade students read? I’m from a very small school district and have been using what I have, but it isn’t much! Most of the books are falling apart and/or I don’t have enough copies! If there are any teachers out there that could recommend some books for these grade levels I would be VERY grateful!

Do potty training books for Children work?

I want to get my son a book to inspire and help him along in feeling confident to go potty on his toilet. Are there any good children’s books that anyone can recommend that helped their little one go on the potty? My son is two and LOVES books and story time. We have been training him for a few months now and he goes every now and then, I am just looking for something to give him a little more confidence and inspiration.
