SOME OF THE AUTHOR'S BEST WORK
I did indeed love this one. The art work, per usual, for this author, was absolutely perfect. It is the type of work that can appeal to children as well as adults (I'm well into my sixties, and I enjoyed it...of course I have a lot of little boy in me still). As to the narrative, I did feel this was one of the author's better works. Allsburg is certainly a teller of good stories. I have ...

I was thrilled when I received my kit. It has everything you need to get started and specific details to help you along the way.

Exquisite watercolors? A Simply Excuisite Book!
The title "Chinese Painting Techniques for Exquisite Watercolors" is, by all accounts, an understatement! Of the countless dozens of art technique books I've read over the years, this one is by far the most captivating, beautiful and unique. Rarely have I ever been this impressed by a book on any topic, let alone one on art techniques, of which I'm generally rather critical. I'm so used to art ...

Pearson Prentice Hall, 2004

Takes the difficulty away from learning Latin
Latin has a reputation of being a difficult and dull language to learn. Most textbooks present it in a scholarly way, focusing on transaltions of the works of ancient authors, and not giving modern learners a connection to their lives. The Ecce Romani series presents Latin in an innovative and attractive way. Every chapter begins with a a painted color picture and short story (in latin) about ...

Reader's Digest, 2008

Add a little fun to brush time
This book has so many fun features in it: put the right amount of tooth paste on the tooth brush, brush through teeth in different ways, rinse, and count teeth. It also provides movable and slidable tooth brush for kids to practice with. I think this one is even better than "Brush Your Teeth Please Pop-Up!" Over all, a great book(surprisingly)!

Brush Up Your Bible!

Gramercy, 1998

A touch of the divine
The Bible is one of the most influential books in the world, in more ways than one might think at first glance. The Bible, and in particular the King James Version, has had a profound impact on the English language, especially in word and turn-of-phrase choice. Perhaps this was due to the fact that the King James Version of the Bible was produced during the flowering of the English language, ...

Mid-List Press, 2007

Incredible book on doubly-talented writers
I just got this book, and it is one of the best literary compendia I have ever seen or read. I love learning more about some of my favorite writers and was surprised at how talented some were - some I never knew painted - and it was strange to see how some of the art would have been what you expect, and some wasn't. For example I am a huge Dostoyevsky fan and his drawings looked a little ragged ...

I was required to buy this book for a journalism class I am taking. I found the book fascinating after only the first couple of chapters. It is well written. Definitely not your typical bland, boring text book. The style and format of the book makes the subject matter interesting and holds your attention. Although I am still new to journalism, I foresee using this book as a reference for my ...
