A practical guide to outguessing everything, from multiple-choice tests to the office football pool to the stock market. People are predictable even when they try not to be. William Poundstone demonstrates how to turn this fact to personal advantage in scores of everyday situations, from playing the lottery to buying a home. Rock Breaks Scissors is mind-reading for real life. Will the next tennis serve go right or left? Will the market go up or down? Most people are poor at that kind of predicting. We are hard-wired to make bum bets on "trends" and "winning streaks" that are illusions. Yet ultimately we're all in the business of anticipating the actions of others. Poundstone reveals how to overcome the errors and improve the accuracy of your own outguessing. Rock Breaks Scissors is a hands-on guide to turning life's odds in your favor.Binding Type: Paperback

Scrub a dub dub
Scent: Ivory
I like the scrubby side more then the soft side, fits great in the hand, washing doesn’t ruin the durability or feel and the pack is a great deal!

A bit small!
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? / Oso polar, oso polar, ¿qué es ese ruido? is such a great classic! My students absolutely love the repetitive, rhythmic text—it keeps them engaged and encourages participation, especially during read-alouds.
I also love that it’s bilingual, which supports my students in building vocabulary and making connections in both English and Spanish. It’s perfect for a diverse classroom and helps all learners feel included.
The only downside is that the book is a bit smaller than expected, but it’s still a wonderful addition to our classroom library. Overall, a must-have for early childhood classrooms!

Great bilingual children's board book
Format: Board book
Our kiddo loves this series of books. We appreciate that they are bilingual, with both English and Spanish on each page. My partner can read the same book one way, while I read it another. All the while, our kiddo can follow along and choose the names and languages they are most comfortable with.
