Viking Juvenile, 2009
wonderful mom and child book!
This book is wonderful!! It is great to share with moms-to-be and special to share with little (and not so little) ones! The pictures draw you in while the emotions of the words stay with you. I loved reading this book with my daughter who "learned" the spanish words as the story went along.

Joan Naper
BookSurge Publishing, 2009
A fine novel of what many ambitious career women faced during this era

Resolved to become a teacher, her independence is challenged by suitors - and romance tends to stand against her being her own woman. "Beautiful Dreamer" is a fine novel of what many ambitious career women ...

Carol Blackburn
Interweave Press, 2007
Wow! Incredible step by step photos for every technique!
I was just playing around with making polymer clay beads, and not having a lot of success. So I ordered this book! Not only doesn't it inspire you with great ideas, but tells you EXACTLY how to accomplish each look. There's an incredible section on tools you need, and each technique is detailed in depth with wonderful photos. This is the only book you need on this topic--very comprehensive!

The best book about beading with cabochons on the market!

Mexico: The Beautiful Cookbook40 reviews
Susanna Palazuelos
Beautiful Cookbooks, 1991
Best Mexican cookbook I have ever seen
This book is probably the best cookbook I have ever used. The pages and pictures are large, the recipes are easy to read, and the accompanying history is welcome. I only wished it came as a hard bound book. Bought a used copy in great condition for under $50.

pathos and humor = LIFE
Guido, the central character in Life is Beautiful, is one of the most poignant characters in literature. He chooses to create an illusionary world for his son so that Giosue will survive the horrific conditions in a concentration camp. It becomes clear to the reader that Guido makes a decision as soon as he and Giouse are taken to the camp that he will, if necessary, go so far as to sacrifice his ...

Beautiful Joe: An autobiography,43 reviews
Marshall Saunders
The Judson Press, 1903
A must for animal lovers!
I first read Beautiful Joe as a youngster probably 40 years ago; it broke my heart to read of Joe's beginnings with Jenkins in the opening chapters of the book but as I went on and he was rescued I found I couldn't put it down. The Italian's tragic loss of his animals in a barn fire still brings tears to my eyes, and Malta the cat remains a favorite character simply because she's a cat :).

There are no bizarre ingredients, and the instructions are straightforward. I will definitely keep reaching for this book for tasty ideas, and will also keep ...

Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters28 reviews
John Steptoe
Amistad, 1987
Amazing Book
The illustrations are breathtaking. The story emphasizes the true ugliness of getting to the top no matter what, while at the same time showing the beauty of compassion, empathy, and taking the time to make true connections with others and embracing their essence. These are values that we must instill within our children. I read this story to my own beautiful daughters over and over and it ...

The Sumi-E Book23 reviews
Yolanda Mayhall
Watson-Guptill, 1989
The next best thing to a brush painting instructor!
Calligraphy and brush painting are not easy to learn WITH an instructor; learning from a book is daunting at best. Yolanda Mayhall's book is as close to having an instructor as any I have found - and I have tried many books. Her style is informative without being pedantic, guiding gently without drifting into boredom.
If you take nothing else away from reading her book, you will realize that ...

The House Beautiful24 reviews
Allison Burnett
Carroll & Graf, 2006
Loving New York
I loved Allison Burnett's absolutely crazy and wonderful novel, The House Beautiful. This novel is charming, engaging, very funny, bizarre and sometimes gross, just like the New York City it portrays to perfection. Burnett writes an all-out love song for New York, the very special New York of all those who want something more than what they are supposed to want. It is a paean (and a send-up) ...

Beautiful: Nudes by Marc Baptiste21 reviews
Universe, 2001
Venus
I think some reviewers here have missed the point.
This book is a tribute to the oldest ideals of femininity (women of color) and a counterpoint to the very narrow one we have now.
The women pictured here were absolutely stunning; not because of their flaws, nor because of their fine features, but because of how all of that together adds up to beautiful photographs of women.
Women here ...

Alexander McCall Smith
Anchor, 2003
The #1 Ladies Detective Agency
Really clever and intriguing stories about a lady of Botswana and her break with the traditional female roles in opening a detective agency. These stories cross cultural and racial lines and get to the heart of all people, educated or not, that is can a woman succeed in a man's world or a traditionally man's business.
