I read a review for Jen Lancaster's newest book in some entertainment magizine. I loved the sound of her writing and her personality seemed somewhat familiar.
Being the freak I am - I had to make sure that I read her work in order and checked to see if she had any previous books. BingO! I started hunting around the fiction isles and was getting miffed when I finally surendered and asked the ...

Kooky Carry-Along Coloring Kit (Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!) 1 review
Sonia Sander
Simon Scribbles, 2008
Another cute Wubbzy product with LAME crayons
We loved the carry-along coloring kit with the little coloring book and stickers, but the crayons didn't work well at all. Too light - when my 2 y/o colored with them you could barely see the marks. I tried coloring with them and pressed harder, and little wax pieces came off on the paper. The crayons are awful. The kit is still pretty cool so just replace the bad crayons with some Crayolas ...

Power Ranger Carry Along: 6 Storybooks in a Box!10 reviews
Dalmatian Press, 2006
Finally something my son WANTS & asks to read
My 4 1/2 yr old son is not one to be overly enthusiastic about books of any kind but FINALLY this worked. It is the whole package with the carryalong handle on the box to keep them all in there and he can transport them all by himself which makes him feel like a big guy. Thank you so much for this ingenious way to present and store them. Having to read them to him over and over is a bit ...

Murder Carries a Torch: A Southern Sisters Mystery (Southern Sisters Mysteries)40 reviews
Anne George
Avon, 2001
Pukey Lukey Bangs his Head
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the books in this series so far and this one may well be the best of the bunch. Just where else could you find a story about a guy nicknamed Pukey Lukey whose wife ran off with a snake-handling preacher who was painting their house. Mary Alice (Sister) and Patricia Anne (Mouse) are always hilarious but with a plot line like this anybody could be funny.

Carry On, Mr. Bowditch44 reviews
Jean Lee Latham
Houghton Mifflin, 2003
A review for parents and gift-giving adults (some spoilers here)
Another fine Newbery-winning historical novel. This one is actually a fictionalized biography of Nathaniel Bowditch, innovative navigator and author of The American Practical Navigator, apparently still a standard book on navy vessels. Latham's fast-paced book takes the reader from Bowditch's toddler days in Salem through a long apprenticeship to a chandlery, then through a varied sailing career ...

Carry Me Home: A Novel35 reviews
Sandra Kring
Delta, 2004
Wonderful and funny and inspiring.
I laughed and I cried. Richly drawn characters, and a narrative that is touching and tender in a marvelously offbeat, quirky way. Bravo for Ms. Kring. I read an average of 50 + books a year, and when I'm done with them, I donate the majority to a local charity--keeping only a handful of my absolute favorites for my private library--Carry Me Home is staying on my shelf.

This was my first book by Mariah Stewart and I enjoyed it so much I can't wait to read the others she has written. Genna Snow and John Mancini were great characters and the book had a great plot with some surprises. I would highly recommend this book.

Silly Rabbit! This book is ALSO for kids!
I'm not sure why some readers don't seem to understand that Cy Tymony obviously wrote this book series for kids. Boys, most likely, under the age of 10 or 11.
An audience of that age will find this book quite interesting, like its prequel. I'll repeat, if you've got a Ph.D. in physics, don't buy it. And if you considered the idea, do tell us, how'd you get that Ph.D., again?

super cute and trendy
This book is full of super cute and trendy bag/purse projects. Out of all the knitting books dedicated to handbags, this by far is the best one I've found yet. I can sincerely say I like just about every single pattern. I made one of the bags for my best friend and she said she gets compliments all the time. One note: I'm in my twenties and think these are adorable. Granted if you are older or ...

Overlook Hardcover, 2003
A Capital Collection
This volume of ten stories originally hails from 1925. I read them in the 1999- 2000 Penguin paperback edition. While many readers like the covers by Ionicus on earlier Penguin paperbacks, these recent editions with covers by David Hitch are my favorites. They are very well done, reasonably priced and just the right size, which is to say, perfect for the novice or seasoned Wodehouse reader. The ...

Just under 290 pages this is a classic that has just as much meaning in 2001 as it did the first time I read it 20 years ago. A book I cannot help buying, over and over when copies get lent out and the message keeps getting passed on.

Great ideas for instruction
I used this book in a Secondary Education 5000 class that I was required to take while earning my M.Ed. The author gives wonderful insights and examples into how to teach a class that is designed for its students. I found the book to be extremely helpful and will use many of Smagorinsky's ideas in my teaching this year. I particularly liked his chapter on addressing the emotional issues ...

Only What We Could Carry: The Japanese American Internment Experience6 reviews
Heyday Books, 2000
An important account of the Japanese American internment
Only What We Could Carry provides an important account of the Japanese American internment experience after the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor. Personal documents, art and propaganda are presented in a title which captures the camp experience in a series of personal autobiographical revelations. Highly recommended.
