NEW PARENT HANDBOOK RAISING YOUNG KIDS IN A CITY $17.95 

I am an elementary teacher who teaches 4th grade and tutors grades k through 12. I buy many resources for the children I teach. I hunt the bookstores for good deals for my classroom and the students I tutor. Up for bid is one of my great finds. All of my books and workbooks listed in my auctions are materials I personally recommend for that grade or age level. Each book I list is in limited supply. I try to purchase in bulk, when available, but it is not always possible and I am often unable to find and re-purchase some titles. There are many materials I won't sell, because they do not measure up to my standards or are not good value for the money.

"The City Parent Handbook, The Complete Guide to the Ups and Downs and Ins and Outs of Raising Young Kids in the City," by Kathy Bishop and Julia Whitehead is published by Rodale Press, Incorporated. It has 384 pages. The retail price is $17.95.
