Lullaby for baby
This is the BEST book someone gave me after my son was born! The book has songs to sing to familiar toons and gives you a guide in the back. This has always worked at getting baby to sleep and now I can quote the book. I often give this at any baby shower now that I know about it.

The House at Pooh Corner

A. A. Milne

Plume Books, 1998

The One Book That Influenced Me the Most
I was participating in an on-line discussion on the subject of the single book that had influenced us each the most. The book that first came to my mind was "The House at Pooh Corner". It seemed rather silly, but after considerable reflection I decided it was probably the correct answer after all. The book was read to me by my Dad before I could read, and I still re-visit it occasionally ...

A Very Blue Corner...
Corner of Blue is a novel set in the 1960s, but it will resonate among readers of all ages. It tells the story of Jemmabeth Forrester, a young woman who is learning to make her own choices, and sometimes gets in over her head. The book introduces us to many charming characters, including Lizbeth, Jemma's wise grandmother who lets Jemma find her own path; Lester, the next-door neighbor who ...

If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It! The No-nonsense Guide to an Eating-for-Health Lifestyle

down to earth for real people
I think this is one of my favorite books on eating for health. Some read like encyclopedias and some are so self-righteous you feel guilty for shaving your legs or flying in airplanes. This is humorous and informative and full of ideas you can use right away, with lots of the statistics removed to sidebars so it reads smoothly and conversationally. My copy is well-underlined. My husband ...

Dutton Juvenile, 1988

So Happy to Own This
We had a very old copy of The World of Pooh in the house when I was growing up, long since lost. I was so happy to find this when looking for gifts for an on-the-way niece or nephew. Sure, TV/Disney Pooh is cute, but this is the way Pooh stories are supposed to be told, with the classic illustrations and language. This is a perfect storybook for all ages, young and old, and I hope it is always ...

Virago Press Ltd, 2002

Pleasant to read, yes, but sophisticated and compelling, too
I agree with the reviewer who said that this book was "pleasant" to read--it *is* very easy and accessible. But just don't confuse that with simplistic, either in the ideas it offers or the way it presents them. The way in which the main character wrestles with fidelity, with contentment, really, is very believable as it is sketched out. The supporting characters are well-executed, and the arc of ...

Indispensable childhood reading
These books were purchased for grandchildren. I grew up having these read to me, read them all over & over to my own five, and now to the grandchildren. A. A. Milne uses wonderful language, humor, suspense, making these books and their wisdom last into adulthood - we all have favorite quotes often used to fit specific situations. To this family, they represent the very best childhood ...

Buffalo culture of the Piegan Blackfeet

He not only traded furs, gold, liquor, and dressmakers goods to the Indians, but became fluent in the language of the Blackfeet, sharing in their hunts and wars and even taking a young Indian wife. ...

Bravo!
Since beginning 'Eight Nights' a week ago, my workdays have been filled with anticipation to get home and hop back on Luke's motorcycle to continue a magnificent journey that, though set in the U.S. great plains, thoughtfully leads us into our own rebellious, naive and oft grief-stricken souls.

Corner House Publishers, 1980

Good laughs, good read and first-hand real history
I'm one of those men with the "Civil War Itch" who can't get enough reading, can't get enough time on the battlefields. This book is hands-down one of my favorites in my extensive collection, re-read several times and dog-eared. It's something I always put in my bag for air-travel reading, because you can pick it up and put it down when you need to...the author and the illustrator both were ...

Butterfly Productions LLC, 2005

To Life in the Small Corners
Daily, the media bombards us with bleak and negative images of the "third world", countries most of us will never visit, peoples we have learned to fear. This book offers a corrective experience--the beauty, the joy, and strength of cultures we ought to know more about, cultures we need to know in their wholeness and not simply in their tragedies. An important book, and for children, ...

The Enduring Wilderness: Protecting Our Natural Heritage through the Wilderness Act (Speaker's Corner Series)

Doug Scott

Fulcrum Publishing, 2004

A great book on an important and uniquely American topic.
In this book, Doug Scott provides us with an in-depth, refreshing and much needed look at the American Wilderness. We are all familiar with the wilderness of lore, whether it the pristine forests of Thoreau or the hostile wastes of the biblical prophet John. While these are powerful images they can't really compare to the diverse and very tangible wildernesses which are outlined in this book. ...

Boomer: The Message is Real Life!
California Boomer has layers of meaning, some simple and others bold, and brave. The author gives us so many life lessons, insights, and details, many times overlooked by individuals but ever so important. If you get past the sweet and touching first few stories you'll be pulled into an ever more complex set of people, and at times, almost surreal situations. This book is never dull and will ...

Outstanding and Interesting
It takes a lot to hold my interest because I am a graduate student pursuing a doctorate degree in education. This book was one that I simply could not put down. I read this book in one day. Every teenager and female with a background in sexual abuse must read this book. Any individual that has been emotionally scared by people they trusted should read this book. It paints a vivid picture of ...
