The Buying of the President 2004 14 reviews, ...
HarperCollins, 2004
Americans really are ignorant
Let me start by saying I do not want George W. Bush re-elected, and I don't have any interest in John Kerry running the White House for the next four years either. I left myself open to have my opinions on American government influenced by this book, but I could never have imagined the magnitude in which this book changed my beliefs of our political process. It's no secret to anyone that money ...

The Little House Collection Box Set (Full Color) (Little House)20 reviews
Laura Ingalls Wilder
HarperTrophy, 2004
beautiful set of first 5 books
These are handsome books - heavy stock paper, full color Garth Williams' illustrations, with Williams' illustrations on the cover (not the more modern real-life photos from other sets). This set, for some reason, only has the first 5 books, but the last 4 are available a la carte in the same nice full-color/heavy-stock/etc format. Not sure why they don't package all 9. This is a really nice ...

We -- my three homeschooled grandchildren and I -- are going through the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of books for the second time. We read them aloud during story time, and love every minute. These are books written ...

Very Entertaining
"Lead Us Not Into Temptation" is definitely a page turner filled with one shocking surprise after another. I hated to see it come to an end and oh what an ending it was!!! I can't wait for the sequel. I strongly recommend that you purchase this book if you already haven't. Job well done Laura, keep up the good work!

Alia Waking6 reviews
Laura Williams McCaffrey
Clarion Books, 2003
A Fantasy Page Turner
Okay first off I am 32...not that my age should exclude me from reading young peoples literature...but my point is this book was as exciting to me as it would be to a young reader. I saw on Laura Williams McCaffrey's website that she enjoyed the Lloyd ALexander books. They were some of my favorite fantasy as a youth. In my late youth, I now add Alia Waking to my list . The story of Alia took ...

Laura's Early Years Collection19 reviews
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Topeka Bindery, 1999
My, how American life has changed
"Little House in the Big Woods" is a perfect way to educate your children about pioneering in the United States. Growing up in the woods of antebellum Wisconsin, Ingalls recalls the details, both big and small, of settler life. The world is much different today than it was back then, and this book displays that perfectly. The Ingalls' were very self-sufficient people, and had to care for each ...

This Book is Great...So Far
I have read a pre-release version of this book and it is great. Anyone intersted in the aquaria of sharks or rays really needs to get a copy of this book! It is the 1st book ever to deal with the selection and maintaining of sharks and rays in home aquarium. Not only that but the book is very well priced.

Myae Han, Martha Jane Buell
The Guilford Press, 2007
Great book!!
I have been really pleased with this book. It is a textbook I am using in one of my graduate classes in speech and language pathology. The book is informative, with a lot of information on each page. Anyone who is or will be involved with pre-school classes (teachers, aids, SLP's, early interventionists, reading specialists, etc.) would benefit from reading this book.There are some great ...

Idaho the Whitewater State2 reviews
Grant Amaral, Mary Williams
Watershed Books, 2003
This Book is the Bible for Kayaking in Idaho
The only book you should even consider buying for paddling Idaho. The only negative is that grant seems to under estimate some of the shuttles. Watch out for that.

Long Silk Strand2 reviews
Laura E. Williams
Boyds Mills Press, 2000
The Long Silk Strand
The Long Silk Strand is superb! It is the ideal book for a child dealing with the grief for a lost grandparent. It focuses on the positive aspects of life, impressing the importance of the child not only to the deceased grandmother but, also to parents and others who love the child and would be devastated if the child were to join her grandmother. Williams' work is of profoundly superior quality ...

Jiggle Joggle Jee!4 reviews
Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards
Greenwillow Books, 2001
Jiggle joggle jee!
Who says poetry is boring? This is a nice way to introduce little ones to poetry. The illustrations will appeal to babies and toddlers in particular, as will the light-hearted nonsense verse. "Jiggle joggle, jiggle joggle, jiggle joggle jee!"

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Country Cookbook3 reviews

Trophy Pr, 1997
Disappointed to find this is out of print!
I checked this book out of my local library and enjoyed it so much (Laura's gingerbread recipe is especially good) that I wanted to purchase a copy for my personal cookbook collection. I hope it is reprinted soon! Different from "The Little House Cookbook" in that these are not necessarily recipes from Laura's "Little House" books, but rather recipes from her personal cookbook she complied ...

This book simply and carefully explains how to recognise an Anaphylatic attack and what to do in an emergency. This is absolutely essential if you have just been diagnosed with Anaphylaxis, and especially if you are a parent with an Anaphylatic child.

Laura E. Williams
Boyds Mills Press, 2006
A classic Korean folk story
Eujin Kim Neilan illustrates this classic Korean folk story of a grandfather who follows the old customs and practices the ancient art of kite-making. He tries to show his reluctant grandson how to make a kite, but Jinho is more interested in video games or skateboards - still, he participates. But will he await the arrival of the `best winds' to fly it?

Champion Rose (Magic Attic Club)1 review
L.E. Williams
Magic Attic, 1999
Very great story!
I loved the story! It got me into the feeling of being in a pep rally like I used to back when I was Rose's age. Rose has always been one of my favorite characters and I appreciate this story. It's a really good read for all ages. I think the storyline is very interesting as she gets into an argument with one of the MAC because she was goofing around. But when she goes through the mirror, her ...

Nature's Strongholds: The World's Great Wildlife Reserves5 reviews
Laura Riley, William Riley
Princeton University Press, 2005
A Magnificent Gift to the World
Nature's Strongholds is one of the most beautiful books I have seen in a long time. The photographs are not only gripping and moving, but also sharp, clear and very carefully printed. The layout makes the wealth of information enticing and accessible, which is a great boon to the armchair traveler as well as to the regular explorer. The information provided for each site is just what the serious ...
