All around South Rover, the excitement mounted. For a few potatoes, a couple of eggs, an onion or two, a little oil, and a bit of salt, perhaps a shot of pepper, the poor boys would have a new basketball court.People bought oil in gallons. Potatoes practically flew out of the grocery bins. No one in town ate scrambled eggs that week – all the eggs were diverted to potato kugels. The owner of Shop-rite thought it was a new kind of holiday, and marked on his calendar to order extra potatoes next October. The contest was on! Who would win? And why did it matter so much?

This beautifully illustrated children’s book tells the story of vegetables in a refrigerator who learn about accepting others and the meaning of Hannukah. Despite their differences in shape, size, and color, the ingredients in a salad work together to create a healthy meal. Could we humans learn a thing or two from our vegetable friends? Oni and the Kingdom of Onion is a charming children’s story that teaches important lessons about respect, tolerance, diversity, caring, and sharing. Written by Marc Rubenstein and illustrated by Hannah Miller and Tamra Gerard, Oni and the Kingdom of Onion also recounts the origins of the first Hanukkah and the importance of religious history. Through Oni’s story, children are encouraged to be accepting of others and work towards common goals, all while learning about an important religious holiday. Children and parents alike will enjoy learning about Oni, a remarkable onion, and how in a divided world, we can all come together as one.

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the COOP and HSPT is very different than getting straight As in school. TPR doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about math, reading, and English -- only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the COOP and HSPT. There's a big difference. In Cracking the COOP & HSPT, TPR will teach test-takers how to think like the test-makers.This is accomplished by teaching students how to:Use process of elimination to eliminate choices that look right but are planted to fool the test-takerUse "Ballparking" on mathematics sections to narrow the answer choices and save timeLearn how pace oneself, to avoid "dumb mistakes", and earn a higher scoreImprove scores by focusing on the material most likely to be tested*This book includes 4 full-length simulated exams: 2 COOP and 2 HSPT. All of The Princeton Review's sample test questions are like the ones test-takers will see on the actual COOP and HSPT tests, and every solution is fully explained.Contents Include:Part I: Cracking the COOPWhat is the COOP?MemorySequencesAnalogiesVerbal ReasoningReading ComprehensionMathematicsLanguage ExpressionAnswers to COOP extensionsPart II: COOP Practice TestsPart III: Cracking the HSPTWhat is the HSPT?VocabularyVerbal SkillsQuantitative SkillsReading Comprehension and VocabularyMathematicsLanguageAnswers to HSPT ExercisesPart IV: HSPT Practice Tests
