All That You Want To Know
This is a very unique book. I have to say I LOVED IT! My being a young black woman, all the stories hit close to home. This book gave a non-bias look at black women's hair, and black culture all around the world including here in America. It gave many view points, from men women, blacks and even whites. I recommed this book to anyone who is confused about their hair and themselves. Nappy is ...

You are my joy!
I bought this book for my two foster children (ages 2 and 3) for Christmas. They LOVE this book. We read it all the time and they follow right along. The two year old will sometimes just say out of the blue - You are my joy! and run to get the book. The book is beautifully lyrical, conveying a feeling of security and love. The artwork is incredible and the three year old tells me that he is ...

great health info, well written, sensible
I found great information for my cat's diet and health, plus first aid & psychology. I gave this book as gifts to several of my friends, and they like it a lot, too. The "Vitality Mix" recipe has helped my cat immensely.

. . . If You Lived When There Was Slavery in America

Anne Kamma, Pamela Johnson

Scholastic Inc., 2004

Surprisingly comprehensive
This surprisingly comprehensive little book addresses over 40 questions children would dream up about a slave's life...and a few they wouldn't. What did slaves wear? What did they eat? Would you live with your father and mother? What if your father belonged to another slave owner? Did the children have to work? What games did they play? Were any black people free? While the answers are by ...

now published as 'The Battle for Castle Cockatrice'
I can remember my head teacher reading this book to me in his class 17 years ago and am now revisiting it as literature for some theatre workshops with year 6 children. The colourful characters, language and visual images must be passed down to the next generation. the parrot with lumbago, the pheonix and the screaming mandrakes were just a part of the books appeal. It definately ranks with its ...

Online Roots: How to Discover Your Family's History and Heritage With the Power of the Internet

4 reviews
Pamela Boyer Porter, National Genealogical Society, ..., 2003

Perhaps the best thing available in this crowded field
Regular readers of my reviews (here and elsewhere) will know that I cast a chary eye on books that purport to introduce the reader to the miracle of "Internet genealogy." I've read and reviewed dozens of such titles from the viewpoint of a researcher of more than thirty years' experience (beginning in the days of spiral notebooks and 3x5 cards) who is also a thoroughly wired computer geek and a ...

Tides of Autumn

Pamela Johnson

Echelon Press, 2003

Finally a story where the characters aren't too young
I loved this story. The characters and situations, drama and heartfelt prose were all totally believable...but the main reason I enjoyed it was because Ms. Johnson has written characters that are actually older and are portrayed as bright and capable with lives still left to live. She has given real meaning to the words, 'a second chance at love'. A great read for the rest of us tired of ...

This is a very readable, very interesting, and very comprehensive book written on a child's level. My four-year old loves it (of course we read it to him) and frequently requests that we borrow it from the library. I highly recommend it for children of all ages.

Yearning For Yesteryear
I was very lucky several years ago to be browsing around at a yard sale, looking at books, naturally! There was a book called "Country Chronicle".It had the dust jacket on,worn some, but in decent condition. I thumbed through it and it caught my interest. I had never heard of Gladys Taber! Well, I read it through, and then I read it through again. I have read this book at least 6 times, and now ...

A Sweet Lullaby for Baby
This sweet book has enthralled my daughter, who has us read it to her almost every night. It's probably her favorite book. It's grasped her attention for the last 6 months, and parents of a toddler know how hard that can be. The images help her learn what things are -- book, window, moon, teddy bear -- and she's learned the text so well, she knows when to expect a kiss on her sleepy face ...
