Fatherhood
I am a senior in high school, and I have just finished the popular book Fatherhood by Bill Cosby. As most of us already know, Bill Cosby is a comical man. He puts a comedic twist on most everything he says, yet in a serious way. I enjoy how he can mix reailty with comedy, which is why I enjoyed this book so much. I give this book a very high rating and hope others will also. I am not a ...

Great Debut Novel
I must admit, I'm normally not a fan of Scottish Historicals, but I really loved this one! And I'm very happy to know that the secondary character (Duncan) has his own story coming out in December!

Comical memories!
"Bill Cosby on Fatherhood" makes a great gift to Dad, whether it be for Father's Day, Christmas (makes a perfect stocking stuffer), Birthday, or any special occasion! Bill Cosby is great in describing Fatherhood memories, of when he was a child, and when he was a father. If you're in the mood for a chuckle, whether you're a Father or not, this is a great little book. I recommend.

Is Bill Cosby Right?: Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?

Basic Civitas Books, 2006

on the fence
I couldn't take it anymore. I dropped the book halfway into the 2nd chapter. This is a personal attack on the messenger, not the message. Sure, the "Hood" lacks discipline, parenting and strong male role models; and Cosby brings light to these situations. Dyson's stance is that how can a: high school drop-out with two degrees essentially handed to him a marginal parent and alleged ...

Bill Cosby

Cartwheel, 1997

Cosby tells "stories about situations children often face."
The Meanest Thing To Say is not about saying mean things back to mean people. And it isn't even about mean people. What it IS about is children learning self-control, level-headedness and heart. When the new kid, Michael, calls Little Bill names, and says he has to think of the meanest things to say back the next day, Bill is frustrated and anxious. This comes up at home and his dad tells him ...

Fantastic Fable with Personal Lesson for Each of Us
I absolutely loved this book on many, many levels. The illustrations are colorful and at the same time incredible simple AND incredibly complex. I love that Bill Cosby and his daughter, Erika, collaborated on it. And then secondarily, reading the reviews from the others, I also see the richness of the whole concept of "Fables" as well. Each reviewer has taken away a special - and different - ...

I love Little Bill
My son is 5 and he relates to Little Bill very well.. All of the stories are easy to read and understand for him. I would recommend this book and all other Little Bill books to parents who read with their children on a regular basis. The language and concepts are simple yet interesting with very open ended solutions that can be applied anywhere and my son grasps the concepts quite well. We ...

The Other Side Of Color
What a beautiful explanation of art that has been ignored for so many years. Not only is the book well illustrated, it is informative. Not having much understanding of art at all, I have now begun to understand the artist, the art and the expression of information that is creative and informative of people and events. This is a book not only for the scholar and informed art collector but for ...

Real life and morals
This book contains 4 short chapters. In the first chapter, the narrator meets a new neighbor, Alan Mills. Alan Mills always seems to turn up at times of conflict to remind people about the magic of Christmas, even if it's not Christmas time. In doing this, he gets people to focus back on the positive sides of the friends and family. In chapter 3, Alan Mills passes away (and the narrator's ...

An Uplifting Book
This is a well-written book. The stories are very touching and provide great examples of life choices destined for difficulties. Blacks have to ask more substances from their leaders. Bill Cosby has been a champion in the black community. I don't see how "thinking black people" can love Jackson, but yet despise Cosby. Black people need to put on their thinking cap. Complaining, blaming ...

Lessons on Trust
Every year my students have a choice of choosing a book from the stack of 'Little Bill' books, and this one is always the first one they pick. The moral of this story is one that not only teachers wish to inflict, but parents, as well. It has a great way of introducing THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF story into the classroom. I also enjoyed how it introduced a way to discuss the definition of a "fib". ...

Classic, Absolutely Classic
I've had a cloud over my head for quite some time about having a Bachelor of Arts and dealing with the problems of having a full-time job and going to grad school. On page 100, when Cosby talks about "Master of Nothing in Particular" I fell out laughing. There were many times that I laughed out loud at this book. Anybody who has graduated from college (or is in college) who has a sense of humor ...
