"The Great Debaters" is a movie highlighting America's sordid history. It follows Professor Melvin B. Tolson, who challenges his students to think freely through their debate team in the Jim Crow South. It reminds us to do what we have to so we can do what we want to—becoming self-governing.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Dr. Spock
Believe it or not as an early childhood educator and even a licensed practical nurse I have never read 'Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care' book from beginning to end. Guess what I did just that and I found out that I actually did follow the rules that he set for several development stages of growth and development. This is a book that Dr. Spock wrote with another doctor Michael B. Rothenberg, MD. This is a book that starts out describing the parents then working through what is needed for a new baby as well as basic baby and childcare skills like bathing, feeding and dressing, etc. The book also cover the time of life known as adolescence, why schools are important. There are sections dealing with childhood diseases, medications, first aid and CPR and finishing up with various special topics. The illustrations were pencil sketches, but they were kind of cute in a way. Even though some of the ideas may seem far-fetched and outdated who knew that they still worked.
