My Parents Went Through the Holocaust and All I Got Was This Lousy Tshirt19 reviews
S. Hanala Stadner

Seven Locks Press, 2006

Hanala - A Diminutive Name for a Major Talent
The title grabs you - humor? Holocaust? Then, you begin reading and Hanala grabs you- envelops you, fastens your seat belt for you and takes you on the ride that is her life. And what a ride. For the general public, it is a story, written with wit, humor, turns of phrase, expressions which you know you have heard before and are comfortable with but which are neither trite nor cliche, in a ...

Robert Stanek

Reagent Press Books for Young Readers, 2007

Wonderful, heart-warming stories by a wonderful author
My boys have read all the books by this author and they love this book! As a mother I was happy to find the story is well written and does not have sex or violence. Bravo Mr. Stanek on a job well done! 		  
  







  
  
How to play your best golf all the time (Crest book)20 reviews
Tommy Armour

Fawcett Publications, 1962

Very dated but still worthwhile
Bear in mind that this is a book originally published in the 1950s. It's widely regarded as an all-time classic, but it's now very dated. Armour was an excellent player (one of the great iron players of all time) and a superb teacher, but some of his theories are no longer in vogue. I can tell you that way back in the early 1960s this book, through Armour's focus on the hip turn, transformed ...

Elissa K. Meyrich

St. Martin's Griffin, 2002

My new found sewing bible
I just bought this book because I wanted to freshen up my sewing. I knew how to home sew from my mother but I didn't know much about sewing techniques or terms or sewing notions and how to use them. This book was very easy to understand and explains everything I need to know about sewing and using notions and patterns. It's now my sewing bible! If I get stuck on something I grab my sew fast sew ... 		  
  







  
  
Girl, 15, Charming but Insane18 reviews
Sue Limb

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2005

Absolutely Hillarious!
This is one of the funniest books I have read in a long time. It's full of laugh-out-loud humour...yes, I was actually laughing out loud! The story is about Jess, a budding comedienne who has been trying without success to gain the affection of her long-time crush, Ben. Unfortunately, she is constantly being overshadowed by her "perfect" friend Flora. As a result, she'll go to any lengths to ...

Reagent Press Echo, 2008

A book that absolutely shines!
Full praise to the author for yet another amazing installment in the story of the Kingdoms. It is a rare and wonderful author that can deliver time after time yet Robert Stanek managed to do just that. Anyone who has the time to read this book should because it is well worth it in every single way possible to imagine!!! Trust me and my fellow Kingdoms and the Elves fans! 		  
  







  
  
The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition199 reviews
Editors of Cook's Illustrated Magazine

America’s Test Kitchen, 2004

Classic!
I agree with one of the reviewers that he/she feels like a pro using the "The Best" series. I've cooked from this book and several of "The Best" Series and they ALL came up excellent according to the people and guests to whom I'd served them: from Asian to Italian to restaurant cooking, and many more. It takes away the guessing from what I've been doing. I agree with the editors that their books ... 		  
  







  
  
My Personal Best : Life Lessons from an All-American Journey16 reviews
John Wooden, Steve Jamison, 2004

We need more John Woodens
I was raised in Southern California and now reside in Indiana. I could not be happier that Coach Wooden also called both places his home. Though he clearly is a midwesterner at heart---as am I now---his legend truly grew in Los Angeles. As my title indicates, we need more coaches like John Wooden here in 2008. Can you imagine what the current crop of college ballers would be like if they had a ... 		  
  







  
  
The 100 Best Love Poems of All Time6 reviews
Leslie Pockell

Grand Central Publishing, 2003

Elegant and Classic
How can I keep my soul in me, so that it doesn't touch your soul? How can I raise it high enough, past you, to other things? I would like to shelter it, among remote lost objects, in some dark and silent place that doesn't resonate when our depths resound. ~Rainer Maria Rilke Leslie Pockell has created a collection of 100 Love Poems in order to explore the many facets of love's ...

What the Bible Is All About for Young Explorers: Based on the Best-Selling Classic by Henrietta Mears6 reviews
Frances Blankenbaker, Henrietta C. Mears

Gospel Light Publications, 1998

Great resource, teaching tool & reference
This is one of those books where the kids version is better than the adults version! It breaks down the Bible, into sections and sub-sections. For example, it introduces the 1st 5 books of the Old Testament as the Books of the Law, explains why they are called that, the main points, the main people, an outline of what happens in each chapter- and then it goes a wonderful step further, and links ...

David Story

Backcountry Guides, 2000

A Unique, Concise, Thorough, endlessly Readable Guidebook.
I just returned from a mountain biking vacation to Joshua Tree National Park, Mojave National Preserve, and Santa Monica Mountains National Recreational Area and this guidebook proved indespensible. It contains almost all information necessary to plan your trip and somehow manages to be both concise, thorough and readable. Story introduces each chapter with a brief description of the geography ...

The tale helps any reader, young or old, to think about the similarities that connect us all while still appreciating the differences that make each of us unique.

Through the Eyes of a Raptor15 reviews
Julie Hahnke

iUniverse, Inc., 2007

One of the Best Books Out There!
This book was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and it inspired many thoughts and ideas for me. This is one of the books that is good for almost anyone: it has suspense, mystery, fantasy, myth and lore, adventure, discovery, and an outstanding plot. Even though it is fantastical, it was realistic in a way that it almost felt that everything in the book really could happen, and I could ... 		  
  







  
  
BFFs: Best Friends Forever8 reviews
Jennifer Calvert

Tate Outloud, 2007

Fascinating Journey of a Bully with a Surprising Ending
This book was a page turner for me as it allowed the reader to follow the lives of middle school age kids into adult life. While these young people said and did many things which had some negative consequences, there were also some positive consequences many years later. It shows young people, parents, school educators and Christian workers how we need to be proactive in helping those bullied to ... 		  
  







  
  
The Liberation of Gabriel King10 reviews
K.L. Going

Listening Library (Audio), 2005

Among our most favorites
I read this to my 7 and 9 year old boys. We couldn't put it down. It now ranks among our favorites with Tale of Desperaux and Ida B. A true treasure of a book.

Alethea Eason

Eos, 2007

Adults Can Chew On This, Too!
Although written with a middle-school aged audience in mind, the sly and dry wit is a delight for adult readers, too. The younger readers may miss some of the references, but there is plenty humor there for them. Also, the book presents issues facing young readers, such as crushes and cliques, in a fresh and orignial way. All in all, a fun book for readers of all ages.
