Bow-Wow Bugs a Bug 16 reviews
Mark Newgarden, Megan Montague Cash
Harcourt Children's Books, 2007
Bow-Wow WOW!!!!
My sister sent all three of the Bow-Wow books to my 4-y-o daughter. She LOVES them all. She's in that stage where she will look at the pictures in a book & make up her own story to "read" to us. These books are so expressive & creative! There is enough silliness & fun without being ridiculous. Some authors miss that target by a long shot. But not these two! What a great team!!! Keep up the good ...

Moving Violations: War Zones, Wheelchairs, and Declarations of Independence35 reviews
John Hockenberry
Hyperion, 1996
What to do when you answer the door and the wolf is there.
I want to keep my review short because, if you have not read this book, reading my review will take up some of the time in which you could be reading the real book. When "Moving Violations" was first published, I heard a review of it on NPR. John Hockenberry is an NPR alum so I expected the book to be almost as good as the review led me to believe. I ordered it from Amazon and devoured it in ...

Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo! (Beginner Books(R))16 reviews
Rosetta Stone
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1975
FUNTASTIC!
This is one of Dr. Suess's books written under his pseudonym Rosetta Stone. This book shows once again what an amazingly clever man he was. Each of my children love this book. And I just finished reading it to my youngest son's preschool class. They enjoyed it so much they asked me to read it a second time! It is a fun and extremely enjoyable book for everyone!!!

You're My Little Love Bug (Parent Love Letters)45 reviews
Heidi R. Weimer
Candy Cane Press, 2005
Absolutely adorable!
Bought this book today and it's already become my 7 month old daughter's favorite! She loves the illustrations, the SUPER FUN WORDS, and of course the music and lights!
The music is a little loud, however, it turns off after one round of the music so it's not bad at all.
It's one of the most enjoyable books we have! I will have no issues reading this book to her over and over again!!!

Dragons (Beyond Projects: The CF Sculpture Series, Book 1)35 reviews
Christi Friesen
Don't Eat Any Bugs Productions, 2005
Wonderful Dragon Book!
I just recently decided to dabble in polymer clay. I bought a previous book on "how to" and techniques. Then I bought this book. This is not a book for someone who has never dealt with polymer clay. She gives ideas on how to make dragons. As for things on mixing clays, tools, etc you will need to find in another book. After I read the first book I bought, I then read this one. I started and ...

Feely Bugs: To Touch and Feel Book (Bugs in a Box Books)21 reviews
David A. Carter
Little Simon, 1995
So much Fun!!
My friends passed this book (and other Bugs in a box Books) along to me after her son regretably out grew the context of the books (age 7). I know he didn't really want to give away one of his favorite books but soon submitted to his mother. My daughter and I (she is 1.5 yrs old) read this specific book every night. She loves it! It is the greatest feely book we have and we have quite a few. It ...

Macroeconomics27 reviews
N. Gregory Mankiw
Institute of Electrical & Electronics Enginee, 1991
The best intermediate macro book
As an instructor of introductory macroeconomics, I often rue the fact that we do not utilize this textbook. I borrow material from it INCESSANTLY and without shame. It presents the "Keynesian" viewpoint on macroeconomics in an extraordinarily clear and interesting fashion. Frankly, I consider the introductory (read literally - first semester macro books) texts to be a waste of time. There is ...

Bradley H. Olsen-Ecker
Bradley H Olsen Ecker, 1999
Amazingly Humorous
Very funny! Hilarious pictures, funny context. Whoever this man is, he is one hilarious, nuttyguy! This is a funny view of the Y2K problem, that everyone who panicks about it should definitely get. Bill Gates, watch out for Brad H. Olsen-Ecker! He can surely make anything funny, especially referring to Lady of the Water. Great Book!

Getting the Bugs Out: The Rise, Fall, and Comeback of Volkswagen in America14 reviews
David Kiley
John Wiley & Sons, 2001
As a VW owner, this is a great insight ito the company
I'm a die hard VW loyalist now. So when I saw this book I had to see what it was all about. Incredible story! Very well written! It was incredible to read about all the things that went on within and without the company, it helps to understand the car a lot better :) If you're at all interested in VW's or car company history in general, this is a must read.

How Many Bugs in a Box? (A Bugs in a Box Series)13 reviews
David A. Carter
Orchard Books, 2000
Keeps my active toddler in one place!
My 16 month old son has only recently begun to sit still for books, but this was the first one that he paid rapt attention to, beginning to end. He brings it over for me to read it to him frequently. He has learned which way to pull the different flaps and tabs (they are different on different pages). Perhaps it's not the sturdiest of books, but for amount of pulling and yanking it has had, it ...

The Bug Wars12 reviews
Ace Books, 1993
Unexpected sophistication
Robert Asprin writes comedy, right? I had made the unfortunate mistake of bottlenecking this author's style - and I did love the Myth series of books - but he covered a serious science fiction drama with an impeccable portrait of war, and a species constrained by a sense of honor and dignity. The writing in this book was surprisingly sensitive and heartfelt, and the characterizations were ...

Have You Ever Wanted To Be A Bug?
What's this? Charlie Kaplan turned into a bug! Find out how, by reading Bug Boy by Carol Sonenklar. It's about a boy who can turn into bugs when he gets a Bug-A-View. Charlie has many adventures while he is a bug. I liked this book because in the beginning it was suspenseful when he didn't know what the Bug-A-View was. I think it would be so cool to be a bug. The author's message is of ...

Leo the Lightning Bug (with Audio CD)14 reviews
Eric Drachman
Kidwick Books, 2001
My two nephews love this book & CD!
This lovely and lively story became an instant favorite of my two young nephews -- which is saying a lot considering that their bookshelf is well stocked! The CD that accompanies the book (making the price a real bargain) is no afterthought -- it is just as rich in detail and as well-produced as the book itself. And having a CD of the book comes in very handy when the boys are in the mood to ...

Peter Menzel

pass the grubs
A feast (or just a snack) of insects sounds almost revolting unless of course you deep fry them or place them in lollipops or my favorite barbecued. Whats not to love about straight from the earth cuisine which is actually considered delicacies in many countries. Menzel demonstrates that every continent gets enjoyment from tasty insect treats. But because Menzel is such an amazing photographer, ...
