3711-Horse Lock & Key Diary3 reviews
Steve Johnson
Peaceable Kingdom Press, 2006
Perfect gift!
I purchased this for our 9 yr old daughter, which was easy because she book-marked it for us! Fortunately it arrived in time for Christmas as it was listed on BO when I placed the order.
Great for many ages but the lock and keys are perfect for those "tween" years when privacy becomes an issue.

Amazing Peace: A Christmas Poem 12 reviews
Maya Angelou
Schwartz & Wade, 2008
Amazing Peace
I first heard this poem when it was read on the Oprah Show by the author and the host. It was so moving and I think is it Ms. Angelou's best work. I purchased my copies to give as gifts to friends and to pass on the prayer for universal peace.

Steve Johnson, Adam Shaivitz
Wiley, 2006
Changed the Way I Trade
I've got to tell you I made everyone on my bond trading desk read this book. It gave great insight into sales techniques and helped us from top to bottom and I think it will apply to any industry, regardless of whether or not you will ever trade bonds or sell shoes. A must read for the serious business person.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 On Demand3 reviews

Short and Sweet
This book is brief in form but comprehensive in scope. It has excellent screen shots from Dreamweaver and clearly labeled step by step instructions. I own several Dreamweaver books but this one is by far my favorite.
I don't enjoy reading long winded technical books that take ten or twenty pages to say what this book can say in two. If you like more visuals and less words then this book may be a ...

Great book
I didn't know how well the illustrations were going to be, but I was pleasantly surprised. It covers the entire story line of the adult version and is tailored perfectly for kids. My five-year-old loves it.

I need to buy a hardcover edition ...
... because I've worn out the paperback reading it to my kids. It is a favorite with my son (now 7). Wonderfully illustrated. Wonderfully imaginative. Get lost in "The Salamander Room" today.

nice resource
A well laid out book. Nice photos, orderly info and directions. Paper and binding good quality, so the book lays open conveniently--no fighting to keep pages open while you use it as a reference! Covers all (or at least most) bases well, with clearly-stated directions.

Up North at the Cabin3 reviews
Marsha Wilson Chall
HarperCollins, 1992
Wonderful story! Wonderful illustrations!
I use this book often with my elementary students to show them that words can create pictures in their readers' minds. The author paints a picture on each page, vividly describing fond memories of different parts of her vacation at the cabin. The illustrator supports that with incredibly detailed pictures. The kids were in awe of this book, it was very powerful for them, and for their writing!

A Good Book for Everybody...Not just High School Kids
I wouldn't go as far as saying you can find most of the information in this book on the website. That's not the case at all. You can find a little bit of the information from this book ont the website but not very much. This book presents the pitching information in a very simple format making it very easy to find whatever you are looking for. It includes drills to correct many of the problems ...

My Many Colored Days Board Book61 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1998
A favorite of mine
This quickly became my favorite Dr. Suess when it first came out. I couldn't find it available everywhere. I then discovered it on Amazon and it's one of my favorite children's gifts. It's not all fluffy, it speaks to every mood and I love the non traditional art work in the book.
