Did you know that tea was discovered 5,000 years ago? Or that &ldquo;high  tea&rdquo; was originally an evening meal? Or that chamomile isn&rsquo;t really tea? In her book Tea Culture: History, Traditions, Celebrations, Recipes & More,  Beverly Dubrin covers many tea-related topics&mdash;from a brief history of  the discovery of tea to information about different kinds of tea and  their respective health benefits. Readers will discover a wealth of  information about the drink and how people have consumed it over the  centuries. Dubrin, a longtime tea fan, gives tips on how to steep  different types of tea and how to get the best-tasting beverage. In addition to fun informational snippets, Tea Culture includes dozens of full-page photographs with subjects ranging from  19th-century tea drinkers to tea plantation workers. Dubrin also  includes recipes for different types of tea drinks as well as some  sandwiches and snacks to make every tea party complete! For our own tea  party here at the Post, we decided to try two recipes from the  book&mdash;Spicy Apple Tea and Marion&rsquo;s Dream Bars. They were both delicious!  In fact, we liked them so much that we decided to include the recipes  elsewhere on the site. As someone who drinks tea in part to alleviate blinding headaches, I  particularly appreciated the section of the book on the health benefits.  Much is made of its miracle effects on such serious problems as heart  disease and cancer, as well as its power in calming anxiety, aiding  digestion, and lowering blood pressure; it&rsquo;s good to get the true story  and learn about which teas and tisanes help with specific ailments.&mdash;Saturday Evening Post

La Isla (Spanish Edition)

Older covers more than just the specifics of telling time. He discusses   the broad concept of time and tires to get children thinking in terms  of  "when things happen" and "how long things take." In a lively, upbeat   tone, he explains why we need to be able to tell time, introduce   calendars, and talks about units of time--from seconds to millennia.   Pastel-colored illustrations (including many easy-to-read clock faces   with large numbers) and lots of white space lend themselves to an   uncluttered design. The book can be used with children of various ages   because it includes a lot of information, even how to read Roman   numerals. The author ends with a rhyming poem to help kids remember what   they've learned: "Seven days make one whole wee,/ 10,080  minutes--eek!/  A month is four weeks, sometimes more,/ I'd like to  spend it at the  shore." The rest of the poem is followed by a page of  intriguing Web  sites for children and adults.&mdash;BooklistBeginning  with a robust "TICK" and ending with an equally bold "TOCK,"  Older  acts as both an encouraging coach and cheerleader for youngsters   learning about time. He defines the concept clearly, citing two   meanings--when things happen and how long things take. After delving   into how time can be broken down (from a second to a century), the   author gets down to the nitty-gritty of telling time. He begins with the   easier digital-clock face. Once that is thoroughly explained, he   ponders the more difficult analog clock. Readers are taken through the   process of reading it, and little tests are thrown in to keep students   on track. Answers are given in the text, along with rewarding smiley   faces. ("Yes! It's seven-thirty. You deserve another smiley face!") The   cartoon illustrations, showing children and many, many types of clocks   are colorful, plentiful, and inviting. A rather silly poem is appended   to help readers remember how long things take: "Sixty seconds make a   minute,/ that's a lot of seconds, innit?" Although a.m. and p.m. are   discussed ("...breakfast is at six A.M., but supper is at six P.M.")   they are never really defined. Beyond these minuscule qualms, this   jovial look at time and time telling is as handy as they come.&mdash;School Library Journal

McGrath starts with a simple definition of a pattern and grows the  concept progressively to include multiplication as well as odds and  evens in her fourth installation of the McGrath Math series. Nihoff's  bold Photoshop illustrations appear to be Gummy Bear-inspired and are  laid out against a stark white background sure to hold children's  attention. Although a mere 32 pages, teachers could potentially select a  segment of the book to use with their classes for a lesson, depending  upon the grade level. The book lends itself to interactivity,  particularly since packages of plastic bears are available that students  could manipulate. Ina climate with such emphasis on STEM (Science,  Technology, Engineering, Math Curriculum), this is a strong choice for  both school and public libraries.&mdash;BayViews

Teddy Bear Patterns

A rhyming text encourages children to participate by counting the bears  (which resemble gummy bears), naming their colors, and identifying  various shapes. "First one is red./Yellow makes two./A green bear is  three./Count four with this blue." Illustrations and text proceed from 1  bear to 12 and clearly develop concepts for colors, shapes, adding and  subtracting, and grouping numbers in sets. Children can easily match  numbers with corresponding teddy bears and one large number; all are  placed on clean white backgrounds. The artwork is hand-drawn digitally  in Adobe Photoshop. This title would be a fun way to introduce these  basic skills.&mdash;School Library Journal

A new translation of the Upanisads into English is an event in itself. Even the more so if it is good, and this one is excellent. It is lucid and reliable and has taken into account the significant mass of research carried out by a number of Sanskrit scholars over the last decades. This excellent book should attract not only those interested in Indian religion and philosophy but anyone interested in the history of human thought.

The bright, gummy-like teddy bears that appeared in Teddy Bear Counting and Teddy Bear Math return to explore math skills that readers might encounter in school. A   rhyming song based on the "Patty-cake, Patty-cake" nursery rhyme   incorporates counting, addition, and subtraction: "Teddy Bear, Teddy   Bear, / pat your head./ Are there fewer/ yellow or red?" Nihoff works   familiar aspects of the school day into the digital illustrations,   including studying math and science, playing at recess and in phys ed,   and sitting on the run ("Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,/ touch the floor./   Which group of bears has just four?"), while the bears tumble,   celebrate, and dress up in costumes fora theatrical production. Young   readers should find it easy yet gratifying to count the chunky, colorful   bears.&mdash;Publishers WeeklyGet kids wiggling and  giggling as they do math! Like a game of Simon  Says, this book asks  children to clap their hands, fly like planes, and  pat their heads  while they count, add, sort, and subtract. The bright  illustrations and  simple, sing-song rhymes will have little ones eager  for more.&mdash;Learning Magazine
