Fix-It

Fantastic story. Good experience with seller. Great condition, exactly as described, great price.

This was my favorite book growing up and I just bought it for my nephew!

I read this with children during No-Screen Week-perfect connection!

I can see the charms of this book...a young bear gets up to watch TV only to find the TV isn't working. First her mother, then her father and finally a repairman try to fix it but by the time it's fixed, she no longer cares because she is happily reading a book. There is an enormous amount of data supporting the power of reading and it happens that in our own house the TV is rarely on so we found this book somewhat less compelling. The hardcover version has pictures on the title pages which add to the story - be aware that the board book may be lacking these (I haven't seen the board book so I don't know for sure).

As an elementary educator, I highly recommend this book for both teachers and parents of young children. The power of reading over watching television has substantial research and ultimately confirms that reading is a powerful tool. David McPhail is my hero when it comes to writing and illustrating text. His delightful message is not only for Emma the bear, but for all children. Read Read Read.

This is a good product. I bought it for a listening station in my classroom. The theme goes with another story with my reading program.

I wanted this book for my PreK classroom. After reading the story, we added a Fix-It Shop to our Stations. Also good for talking about what happened first, next, last. I like that the little bear became so engrossed in reading her book that she was no longer interested in watching TV.

David McPhail's Fix-it! is a charming book. The illustrations are clear; the text is simple. It is good for pre-readers and beginning readers. The book promotes reading with your children.
