Have You Filled a Bucket Today: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids 30 reviews
Carol McCloud
Ferne Press, 2006
Guess what? Kids are not naturally kind!
I was sucked into the whole bucket thing because the corresponding program is what my elementary school is doing this year. We have the posters throughout the school, the assemblies, and the books.
Sure, the cynical part of me was perfectly willing to mock this (and yes, we did have a little "don't shoot holes in Mike's bucket!" banter during faculty meeting).
But, when it gets down to it, ...

Where The Wild Things Are - For Two Generations
This was my son's favorite book when they were toddlers and I loved reading it to hem. I
just purchased again for my 5 month old grandson. This book helps children tap into their personal power within through the use of likeable imaginative monsters. Ce Ce

Great book for making connections
The kids were so surprised by the ending and it helped them understand that their first day of school feelings were normal - even the teacher has them! :)

Another Kevin Henkes Miracle!
Adorable as ever :) I'm thinking I might use this for my children's lit paper, hey, why not? Love it just as much as I loved it when I read it years ago. The illustrations are still great (and snarky!), and the writing's just perfect, capturing the imaginations of both young and old. It's truly a tale of individuality for the ages.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day 174 reviews
Judith Viorst
Aladdin, 1987
It Was Fun, Bad Day Or Not
I've seen some of the other reviews and how this book is too negative. I liked it! Things don't always so as planned, but this book offers a refreshing and funny way to introduce that concept to your child. The pictures are great and the message is clear that despite everything being topsy-turvy, it'll be allright and we'll make it through. I recommend this book. Another book I like and read ...

1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 2-12 (123 Magic)277 reviews
Thomas W. Phelan
Parentmagic, Inc., 2004
Best Purchase I Have Made In a Long Time
This book was so helpful and amazing. I was definitely skeptical in trying it out with my rambunctous 2.5 year old. He is extremely active and LOVES to do the opposite of everything I say! It worked like "Magic" and now we are both enjoying eachother's company much more!

Excellent series
Not just your average chick lit romanticism! It has laugh out loud humor, action and love. What else do you need?
Great beach reading!

The Giving Tree 600 reviews

tear jerker
Try reading this for the first time while pregnant and see a psychiatrist if it doesn't bring tears to your eyes. This is a good story to help anyone of any age to better understand life.

Hal Leonard Guitar Method, Complete Edition: Books & CD's 1, 2 and 375 reviews
Will Schmid, Greg Koch
Hal Leonard Corporation, 2002
Great book
After about 5 days of practicing chords with the DVD that came with my acoustic guitar, I've been able to start playing actual songs after just one day with this book. It helps that I already know how to read music, but I do think that this book is really helpful. Combined with other learning by demonstration DVDs, I feel like I'm already able to accomplish more than just learning a few chords.

The Important Book38 reviews
Margaret Wise Brown

Great Book to Start the Year
I read this book to my students and then used the predictable format to create a class book highlighting the important thing about each student. The students seemed to enjoy the story quite a bit.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself)130 reviews
Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960
Something Fishy to Me!!!
Super Book, as are all Dr. Seuss books! Book was new and as described. Fast shipping...rec'd in 4 days. It would be nice though if Amazon didn't set the shipping rates so the sellers could use media mail for their books to make it cheaper for the purchaser! If they didn't charge the flat $3.99 rate, it would make purchasing more affordable and one could do it more often! I'll buy from this ...

Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: Strategic Play228 reviews
Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie
Two Plus Two Pub., 2004
Best book(s) in tournament poker
I think Harrington's book and it's sequels are the best books ever written about no limit hold'em tournaments. The first part of the series covers strategic concepts about tournament poker, the second part tells how to play in the ending of a tournament, and third part is the workbook for reviewing the concepts of first two books.
Before reading this book (and the sequels), I have been mostly ...

The Cat in the Hat175 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1957
The book that influenced our culture!
Times have changed. Little kids left home alone and shouldn't they have been told by their parents not to let anyone in?
This is the book that must of led to a lot of wild house parties and may have spawned many party while your parents are away flicks (Risky Business, etc).
A good fun read with a lilting cadence!

Raw Food Made Easy For 1 or 2 People110 reviews
Jennifer Cornbleet
Book Publishing Company (TN), 2005
Great starter book - not pretentious, just delicious
I love this book! I was attracted to the simplicity of preparation and the nutritional benefits of raw foods. I noticed that "raw food" was some kind of concept or entity a few months ago and was immediately fascinated - no dealing with a hot oven or stove, no heavy greasy pans, delicious ways to eat more vegetables and get more nutrients, no worries about heat destroying nutrients, and NO POTS ...

Learning American Sign Language: Levels I & II--Beginning & Intermediate (2nd Edition)17 reviews
Tom L. Humphries, Carol A. Padden
Pearson Education, Inc., 2004
I use it as a supliment in intermediate class
As a sign language instructor, I do not use this book for my beginning ASL Class. I use "A Basic Course in American Sign Language". After students complete the beginning course and move into the intermediate class I use "Learning American Sign Language" as a review which ultimately takes them into the intermediate level. Neither book should be used without an instructor. I also use the DVD ...

Beautiful art
Loved this book for my Art class. I didn't think I would like the class, fell in love with art, and even kept the book afterwards instead of selling it.
