Why Christmas Trees Aren't Perfect
This is a heart warming story about a small Christmas tree that is not perfect, because it shares from the heart. This story was read to my child at school, and it was liked so much that she wanted one for Christmas.

Jan Brett Night Before Christmas
I LOVE Jan Brett's books! I buy them anytime I see them whether on sale, old ones on Amazon as remainders, or new.. They make great gifts. I have a backup of many to give to children, particularly my granddaughters. The illustrations in this one are so beautiful it is really a keepsake to save as well as enjoy. Give it as a gift and you will make some child very happy and a parent happy,too.

Jennifer's Rabbit

HarperCollins, 2001

Sailing the Sea of Dreams
In this little charmer the beautiful illustrations and the spritely lyrics that form the text share in the making of magic in equal proportion. Go along with Jennifer as she and her rabbit, a turtle, a kangaroo and seventeen monkeys from the city zoo take a wonderful journey o'er land and sea along the mysterious coasts of dreamland. The jaunty rhythm of the lyrics builds an atmosphere of ...

The Best of the Best
This book is one of my daughters favorite books. It sits on a special shelve in her book case where only her most special books go. Mean old Mr. Means buys a big house and hires the widdow, Mrs. Handy to clean house for him. Molly Limbo pitches in to help one day and Mr. Means sees a way to save himself some money, as she works for only a cupcake left on the mantle. Outraged over the termination ...

Adventures in the Big Thicket

Ken Gire

Focus on the Family Pub, 1990

Wonderful read-aloud book
This is a wonderful book for reading aloud. Each character has its own "voice." Our children were fascinated by the dialectic speech of the characters. As previously commented, they will insist that you "do the voices." My wife read the book in class to her 4th graders and they loved it as well. Each story shows how the "easy way" often leads to trouble. This is a book of fables. It is supposed ...

Smithmark Publishers, 1995

Small, but packed, well written. Defines and defends.
The book is small, but the illustrations still are reproduced extremely well. The essay alone is worth every penny. If you feel uneasy about your love for the work of Norman Rockwell, this book will give you the courage to like what you really like, without any more appologies. Buy it, read it, enjoy. You will, I guarantee.

Mother Goose (Troubador Color and Story Albu)

Price Stern Sloan, 1997

Greatest Mother GBoose Ever
The music is by Hershey Kay, orchestrator of Gottschalk and many other things, and the actors are just superlative. Cyril Ritchard is the quintessence of wit; Celeste Holme I last heard as Dona Ana in Shaw's DON JUAN IN HELL. You know Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster--imagine him ominously reciting "There was a crooked man," without ever showing you that he has his tongue in his cheek. Now ...

Tune Your Brain

Elizabeth Miles

Berkley Trade, 1997

A surprisingly deep book.
I checked out this book because I was mentioned in a footnote and wanted to know what she said about ME. It turns out that she not only summarized my work well but took an incredibly clear and interesting sweep across the field of music/brain research. It actually works as the utilitarian self-help book but also is an astonishingly useful guide to opening specialized personal inquiries in ...

A Valuable collection
This volume with its companion are a joy to behold and invaluable It is so wonderful to have these great works of American Art available to us and all together. I have been so moved by the great works created by American artists and have been collecting volume after volume of these paintings. This is among the finest. Quality of the reproductions are excellent.

Yin, Yang and the Unwanted Dinner Guest
Having never been a person to play close attention to my yin, let alone my yang, I was understandably frazzled when my wife announced that our day guest had turned into a dinner guest. With two young children, dinner is on a set time-table. Now I pride myself on having dinner guests. Cooking is my hobby. (My wife told me I needed a hobby and her genius suggested cooking.) So there I was ...

"Restored by that Refining Fire"
"The Velveteen Rabbit" is a parable, a story about that refining fire: redemptive love. The Velveteen Rabbit gave himself in love to the little boy. In return, the little boy loved the rabbit completely. This love caused the rabbit to begin to look around and question what was real. In questioning what was real, the rabbit ultimately believes himself real and wishes himself real. Once real, ...

Organizing for Dummies

For Dummies, 2000

Good information about organization
This is a pretty large book, so I can't say I read it 100% yet. I have read the several intro chapters as well as the summary chapters and the time/life management chapters. I also read through specific chapters about organizing a few areas at home. I made a few photocopies of both sides of the 'summary card' in the front for quick reference. I really like the book's clear layout, ...

Good book, good author
Looking for a guide by this author, would have liked to have gotten the newest edition, but I had to have it right away to give to my daughter who was leaving for Spain. She liked it!

Edward L. Schneider, Elizabeth Miles

Rodale Books, 2003

Are you aging too fast? Edward Schneider, M.D., Dean of the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and one of the field's leading gerontologists, refutes the myth that age equals loss -- of our health and our physical and mental vigor. You can't live forever. (If people tell you otherwise, says Dr. Schneider, don't believe them!) But you can control your aging to significantly reduce your risk of disability and illness and to feel vital and ...

Shakespeare is Great!
This is a terrific recording. My son's teacher recommended he buy this to listen while he read the written words. It made Shakespeare so much more accessible.

Santa's Christmas Journey

Roger Brooke

Steck-Vaughn, 1984

Wonderful, a work of art
The book's pictures are "painted." It has special meaning to me, when I read it each Christmas. It tells some of the "secrets" Santa Claus uses, but not reveiling some. This leaves an intriguing feeling after you read the book. I recommand this book to all teachers, and libraies.
