Saints: Adventures in courage

Doubleday, 1963

Beautiful stories for older children and adults
Saints: Adventures in Courage is full of beautiful stories of courage. Not of the muscle and action, but of the heart. It covers 50 saints from St. Ann, the grandmother of Jesus, to St. Casimir of the 15th century. There is 1 - 2 1/2 pages of written text and 1 picture given for each saint. The water color paintings in this book beautifully illustrate the accompanying stories. It would be too ...

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2003

A favorite
This is my children's favorite bedtime book. And we have a lot of books. I loved Hailstones and Halibut Bones (the same writer) when I was growing up, and we all are entranced with Cynthia Jabar's way of illustrating children and her ability to evoke a three-dimensional experience on a two-dimensional page--noises, textures, actions.

Very informative, useful and helpful!
This book helped me a great deal with my French studies. Everytime I find a French word I don't understand, I never worry because I always know it's in this dictionary. I've never found such a helpful dictionary before!

Color It: Delight!
This slim book was originally published in 1961 and by now, we may safely call it a classic. The title is taken from her poem "What is White?" A series of poems each entitled "What Is--- (Green, Gold, Red, Blue, etc.)" describes in ways you have never thought of what exactly the color is. I have never found the child who was not fascinated by the ideas presented and usually had a few additions ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

I wish I'd had this book in college!
I was so thrilled to find this book! I just wish I'd had it in college, but - oh, well, now I'm going to catch up on what I missed in college! This book is a must-have for beginners learning French! Obviously, it has only the vocabulary you would need for the first two or so years of French, but all the confusing, tricky things are beautifully and clearly explained, to get you over the first ...

A terrific resource for educators and parents.
This is a wonderful resource for educators and parents interested in expanding the minds of young people through technology. I really like all the different types of web sites that are listed in this book. Kids love them too! I am in my last education class before student teaching and this is one of our textbooks. Last night my 13 year old son asked if I really needed to take this book to ...

Mr. and Mrs. Muddle

1 review
Mary Ann Hoberman

Little Brown & Co (Juv), 1989

Too Sad & Sour
Mr. and Mrs. Muddle have troubles meeting in the middle, in other words, agreeing on anything. She likes to ride in cars and he doesn't like to, then he wants to go for ice cream and she doesn't want to. The book is a thinly veiled look at marital discord which is frankly too sour a subject for a children's picture book. The broken-line, muddy watercolor illustrations by Catherine O'Neil although ...

Island Heritage Pub, 1995

Keiki's (kids) learn about the Aloha Spirit
For mainlanders, transplants, kamainas and their kids alike...this is a great book for ages three to seven. Beautiful vibrant pictures depicting Oahu's Chinatown fill the pages. Simple text, with basic Hawaiian termonology and names makes this ideal for the beginer reader. Children will love the playful story of Kimo and his pet mynah bird. A simple game between the two leads them on a ...

Oxford Beginner's French Dictionary

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

Only one flaw
I love this book; it is easy to use and has all the basic words a beginner needs, with clear definitions and explanations. It has comprehensive verb conjugation pattern tables as well as a lot of other useful information. The only problem I have with it, and it is a major one, is that unlike some other Oxford French dictionaries, it does not give phoentic pronunciations for any of the words, ...

Chief O'Neill's Sketchy Recollections of an Eventful Life in Chicago

1 review
Francis O'Neill

Northwestern University Press, 2008

The Most Famous Policeman in Irish Music
Francis O'Neill (1848-1936) was born in Tralibane, Co. Cork, in the southwest of Ireland and, like many of his countrymen at that time, emigrated to the US where he eventually settled in Chicago and climbed through the ranks of the police department to become a highly regarded Superintendent of Police in 1901. Arguably, O'Neill is best remembered in the US, however, for having compiled several ...
