Great handy general reference book for geography!
The Kingfisher Geography Encyclopedia is concisely presented geographical facts with pictures, including a general map of each of the countries in the world. It is a great geographical reference tool, especially for grade school and maybe middle school.

So You Think You Know James Bond (So You Think You Know) 1 review
Clive Gifford
Hodder & Stoughton, 2007
So You Spend Some Money to buy a book that has little substance
Unfortunately this book is more a 007 movie watchers spotter book. There is no mention about the literary character which lets face it without Fleming's novels James Bond would never have walked across the gunbarrel. You can do just as good by looking up references for the Bond films on the internet.

For younger kids too.
My 5 year old son LOVES this book. It has lots of cool pictures and is easy for him to understand when I read it to him. He is so into this book that he can listen to all 47 pages at one sitting and still want to go back and thumb through, talking about the pictures. Totally worth the money.

The Usborne Book of Juggling (Kid Kits)1 review
Clive Gifford
Usborne Books, 1995
I used this book!!
This book is good if you are just learning to juggle. It had clear pictures and instructions, and you can build up from one ball to three. The pictures are good. This is a good book as it is clear and makes learning easy, but it is not a good choice for someone who can juggle already as it only has a few tricks, nothing really interesting. But I learnt to juggle with this book, so get it if ...

Clive Gifford
E.D.C. Publishing, 1997
"Beyond Infinity"
This book takes paper craft beyond the ordinary cut and paste projects. Clearly written techniques are described step-by-step. The book includes 6 pages of templates which can be traced. All projects produce 3-D results. Great to teach 'focus on task" and techniques which can be used to create other 3-D items.
