Kathryn HelingRezensionen

This book would be a great one for early and intermediate readers
This book focuses on the individual differences in each individual and celebrates what makes each person different.
This would be a good book to read at the beginning of the year to introduce everyone that is in the class. This is an easy way to highlight and celebrate differences from the start to create an inclusion culture within the classroom.

Great read on having children be happy who they are.

A group of kindergarteners get ready for graduation day, reflecting on what they've learned and what lies ahead in first grade.

Told with rhyming text and repeating phrases, this story would make for a lovely readaloud, especially in a kindergarten classroom. Obviously, it is perfect for graduations, but it is also just a good story about how something new can be both very exciting and a little worrisome.

The illustrations are adorable and depict children (and adults) of different racial backgrounds and various abilities.

This book is a great book for primary aged students. In the book, the author and illustrations are bright and colorful. It is about diversity in all senses and acceptance. This book has a great message about representation of our students and it shows them to embrace their differences.½

This book is for 3-5 year old's. The book is about many different jobs in a community and the clothes they would wear. This gets children asking questions, using previous knowledge, and adding on to new proception.

This book is a bunch of clotheslines that make the reader guess what job the person does. This is a great read-aloud book that can make the students interact. I love how in the end, all the workers get together to say goodbye to the astronaut. This can introduce young readers to think about what they want to be in the future.

Who wears what to work? The clues in each lively verse can be spotted hanging from the clotheslines. A mail carrier’s uniform, the artist’s brushes, and the chef’s apron all hang from the clothesline. Then turn the page to learn which professionals wear and use the special gear in the jobs they do. Clever illustrations show the workers helping one another, and in the end, everyone joins together for a celebration that is out of this world.

Poetic book that asks the questions as they have the hints of clothes on the clothesline. Then you will have the opportunity to see if the children will be able to guess.

Follow one wee leprechaun as he searches for treasure. Along the way, his treasure hunt leads him instead to find more leprechauns. One after another, the number of leprechauns grows until together they find a surprise at the end of the rainbow.

The Bottom Line: Kids ages 3 – 5 will love the catchy, rhyming verses as they learn to count to ten. This wee picture book is perfect for preschool story time.

A story of two girls, one wears glasses and the other one wants to. The story shows different opportunities to wear them but not your traditional glasses. The words are in English as well as in Spanish

A fun story of two friends, one with freckles one with out. The creative way she makes freckles on herself. Great illustrations.

A rhyming book of puzzles to guess. See the clothes hanging on the line and guess which sport the child plays,

"High-tops, orange ball.
Score two points--hooray!
Gym shorts and tank top.
What sport does she play?"

"She plays basketball."

Keep this one in mind for the 2016 CSLP theme, "On your Mark, Get Set, Read."

CLOTHESLINE CLUES TO SPORTS PEOPLE PLAY by Kathryn Heling and Deborah Hembrook is a rhyming picture book that engages young readers in a sports guessing game.

Each two-page spread shows clothes and equipment along with text information. Readers are asked about the sport the items represents. The next page reveals the answer. The sports players represent a mixture of genders and races. Although a variety of body shapes are represented, no noticeably disabled players are included.

A companion to Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do, librarians will find that this series of informational books provides endless possibilities for classroom activities. Consider connecting this story with nonfiction books exploring each sport represented.

While some children may never have seen a clothesline, they’ll quickly understand the premise and enjoy the learning experience. The clothesline approach could be turned into an engaging hands-on, flannelboard activity.
