What A Thought Provoking Book for Mischievous Little Boys!
When I first read this book to my son, it took both our breaths away with the telling of this story and the beautiful, highly creative artwork. The story was so well told, but the art was even more intriguing for my three (almost four) year old son that he stopped to ask about the pictures on each page with full attention and wonder. The page designs are made from fabric collages and ...

Mi Amor Por Ti/My Love for You

Dial, 2003

Sweet story, good vocabulary and counting
My husband, a former teacher, loves this story because it has repetition, which is good as children start having an interest in reading. It also teaches animals and counting..."mi amor por ti es mas grande que 1 oso" (my love for you is bigger than one bear) and "mas alto que 2 jirafas" (taller than 2 giraffes) etc. Because the book is in English AND Spanish, my husband is learning too, since ...

Better Homes & Gardens Books, 1995

IF WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ISN'T HERE, IT'S NOT IMPORTANT!
First, let me explain, my husband is the gardener, I am the book reader, so we really got together on this one. He moves the perennials and shrubs around and changes the garden plan so often that I wouldn't dare attempt to cross the garden at night without fear of running smack into a Burning Bush! The ultimate result of his long and dedicated devotion to the garden has produced some ...

Great book for those who know very little about gardening!
I found this book by accident, and it has made me a gardener! I wanted to create a landscape that was beautiful, but not time-consuming. Not only did this book tell me how to do this, but it provides helpful, comprehensive lists of plants, trees, bushes, etc. that don't require a lot of maintenance. It provides lots of helpful suggestions that are EASY to install and maintain. The book is ...

The book follows two dogs, Pepper and Rover, who walk all over New York looking at the landmarks.

Great Little First Board Book
I love this book! It is currently one of my one-year-old's favorites. She has me read it OVER and OVER, and it's so cute and sweet that I barely mind it. We actually bought it for my first daugther because we wanted more "love" books that weren't specifically "Mommy" books that Daddy could read her too. The illustrations are beautiful...in the style of art made from construction paper. But ...

For the special toddler in your life...
I just happened upon this book and am overwhelmed by it's simple message, beautiful illustrations and endearing sentiment. As I read it, I imagined myself sending each month's loving message to my niece who lives on the other side of the country. I knew, that even at age 2 1/2, she would relate to the relationship between the big white mouse and the little brown one and see the two of us in each ...

Leon's Story

Leon's Tragedy
Leon's Story is an awesome book. I think it was the best book I have ever read in the segregation times. It is about this boy named Leon,he and his family are poor. His mom has to for white people. I think that is awful. The most interesting part was when they were marching for freedom. They didn't give up they just kept going and fighting. They had to go through a lot to do all that. This is an ...

An Invitation to Christian Yoga

Good introduction to yoga, Christian or otherwise
Why learn yoga from an Episcopal priest? Rev. Roth may not be Hindu guru, but she manages to explain 25 Hatha Yoga postures (asanas), helped with clear line drawings by Susan John Mangam, in a way that even complete beginners will understand. Plus, as a lapsed Episcopalian, I was amused by the idea of learning yoga from an Episcopal priest. Rev. Roth offers many ideas about incorporating God ...

Tropical gardening here in the the Midwest has been a passion of mine for over 20 years. I never thought of it as different just big annuals. Thats what I liked about Susan's and Dennis's approach to this book. It was really laid back there just plants was the feeling I was getting from reading this book. They didn't make it complicated. I liked the real expectations they had in the book no hype ...

WONDERFUL, INFORMATIVE, me gusta mucho este libro
This colorful book tells of the making of guitars in Paracho, a tiny village in the state of Michoacán in Mexico. I enjoyed the bright collage photos on every page, which were made from corrugated cardboard, fabric, tissue paper, etc. The message of the very high quality guitars made in Paracho was very touching and informative. The book includes a few Spanish phrases which are always easily ...

Wow, a break-through for me.
I was just thinking about this book today. I read it about 5 years ago and it really did make a huge change in my life. Starting in middle school I became obsessed with dieting and compulsive eating even though I was not fat. I tortured myself by obsessing over my weight, and how many caleries I ate for years to the point that I forgot how to have fun. This book woke me up, and it made me ...

This is a wonderful children's book that tells the story of how rainbows are created. A beautiful folktale that presents all the colors of the rainbow (even the often forgotten indigo). A wonderful way to start a lesson about rainbows.

Great Big Guinea Pigs

Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2006

guinea pigs are just fun
Who knew that guniea pigs were so clever and intelligent as to know the history of their own prmitive ancestors...Well, for one little guniea pig that's just what happens when his mom (also a guniea pig) tells him a bedtime story about when guniea pigs lived long ago and were not cute and fuzzy but were in fact of gigantic proportions, scary and had sharp teeth. In other words they truly were ...
