The Little Engine That Could: The Complete, Original Edition (A Platt & Munk Classic)

65 reviews
Watty Piper, Doris Hauman

Grosset & Dunlap, 1978

a classic for me and for my kids
This is a book I thoroughly enjoyed as a child. I began to borrow it from the library for my own two boys and decided, finally, to order one from Amazon for my son's birthday. We returned the borrowed book to the library the day before his birthday and there were many tears. So, you can imagine my son's elation to open up his very own "Little Engine That Could" on his birthday. A fantastic ...

Rabbit-Proof Fence

Miramax, 2002

An amazing story
Rabbit-Proof Fence is the story of 3 young part-Aboriginal girls in Australia, the oldest only fifteen years of age. Historically, "half-caste children", (half-Aboriginal and half-Caucasian) were considered wards of the Australian government and were, therefore, forcibly removed from their families and taken to settlment schools that were little more than jails. The purpose of these schools was ...

Doris Day: The Untold Story of the Girl Next Door

David Kaufman

Virgin Books, 2008

Rivals----I Don't Think So!
It's so refreshing to see people taking time off from insulting me to take turns in praising and insulting someone else. It was quite by chance that Mr Kaufman and I ended up with the same cover, and as biographers we are very similar. The fans seem to be buying both books: had there been just one book, it would not have sold half so well. So in a way Mr Kaufman's fans are doing me a favour, ...

Peachpit Press, 2007

A great COMPANION to a class ...
I read the other reviews and had to comment. This book is NOT a technical manual, nor a step-by-step on how to design websites. Rather, it is a COMPANION book on how to use DreamWeaver. If you are familiar with other Adobe products, then you will appreciate that DreamWeaver maintains many similarities. If you are NOT familiar with Adobe products, then you are in for a major learning ...

Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln

Doris Kearns Goodwin

Simon & Schuster, 2006

a fascinating read
Very interesting read using source material, in their own words, account. The characters are alive and believeable with the background of the election and civil war. The narrative is engrossing and I got lost in the book. It is a biography of the four people who ran for president in 1860. All four biographies enchance understanding of the times and complement Lincoln's story. The history is ...

More-With-Less Cookbook (World Community Cookbook)

Doris Janzen Longacre

Herald Press, 2003

Wore my first copy out....!
This amazing cookbook has been a staple in our home since the mid-70's when cooking with whole grains and offering meatless dishes for dinner was weird. The Mennonites have long focused on healthy foods and joyful preparations that are kind to your food budget and consume less of the world's limited food resources. I wore out my first copy and am delighted to be able to still buy this wonderful ...

Perigee Trade, 2007

Extremely helpful and educational
I am a parent of a son with SPD. I have read other books on the subject, but this one provides so much practical information. I have recommended it to many other parents and professionals.

No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II

123 reviews
Doris Kearns Goodwin

Simon & Schuster, 1995

Another great Goodwin book
"Team of Rivals" remains my favorite Doris Kearns Goodwin book. But this is a very close second. "No Ordinary Time" is a brilliantly written, information-packed book that provides great insight into the FDR White House and the minds of both Franklin and Eleanor. "No Ordinary Time" covers the Roosevelts from 1940-45, focusing primarily on how they handled the home front during America's ...

the horrors of war
I was not too pleased with the first fictional part of this book but when I read the second part I understood why Doris wrote the first part. What a hard life they all had in Zimbabwe once known as southern Rhodesia! But such a wonderful life: the story of the black bull calf touched my heart. and the food! and wasn't her father handsome? The boring life she invented for her parents living ...

Doris Stickney

Pilgrim Press, 2004

beautiful story
I work in hospice and see many lives affected by great loss. Often children are forgotten as adults mourn. I give this book to parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to provide both attention to the children and a way to help them through a difficult time. This book is helpful and hopeful to all!

Doris Kearns Goodwin

Simon & Schuster, 1998

great story about a child and her father with the love of the dodgers as thier strongest bond
Doris Goodwin is a Pulitzer Prize winning author. She is a democrat and mostly she writes about politics. However several years back she took part in Ken Burns documentary film on baseball and portrayed her memories and love of the Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1950s and later as an adult in Massachusetts, the Boston Red Sox. This stimulated her to reflect on her childhood days as a Dodger fan and ...

The Fifth Child

Doris Lessing

Vintage, 1989

The monster within
A conservative, tradition-bound family; a large house always filled with children and guests and friends and animals; a pleasure-filled, if harried, oasis in the middle of England--this is the setting into which Doris Lessing introduces her monster. Even before Harriet's and David's fifth child, Ben, is born, he shatters the serenity of his mother's life: "this savage thing inside her" causes her ...

Robert's Rules in Plain English: A Readable, Authoritative, Easy-to-Use Guide to Running Meetings, 2nd Edition

23 reviews
Doris P. Zimmerman

Collins, 2005

Robert's Rules... Short and Sweet
I love running the Executive Board meetings at my non-commercial radio station using Robert's Rules of Order. But the bottom line is the full version is VERY full... Quite long and you probably don't need ALL of that detail. This book is a super quick read and wonderful companion to Robert's Rules for those who don't need to get into the nitty gritty of parlimentary procedure, but still need ...

Chemistry for Changing Times, 11th Edition

John W. Hill, Doris K. Kolb

Prentice Hall, 2006

Great for understanding all that is "Chemistry"
Chemistry can be interesting and it can be difficult to understand. This book addresses both of these areas quite well. This is a book that you study from, as well as read. For anyone who is preparing to take a Chemistry class, this book is well worth investigating, because this book, in its 20 Chapters, covers every principle, formula, idea, and topic that will be covered in class. My CHEM ...

Is This Your Child

Doris Rapp

Harper Paperbacks, 1991

Considered the bible on allergies
I liked this book because it explains that allergies are so much more than sneezing and a runny nose. For children it can be fatigue, inability to concentrate, hyperactivity, really just about anything. She shows amazing examples of how artwork and writing change after a child is exposed to an allergen. She tells incredible stories of how children's behaviors change as they get their allergies ...

The Golden Notebook: Perennial Classics edition (Perennial Classics)

Doris Lessing

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 1999

Topic is 6 stars, writing is 4 stars [T][29]
Interestingly, most of the eye-popping concepts of Erica Jong's "Fear of Flying" (1973) seem to be touched upon by this 1962 publication. Four notebooks are the concentration of this novel. After meeting Anna and Molly outside of the notebooks and their review of their respective children and former spouses, we go through the colorful journals: black notebook (African experience in youth); red ...

Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream

Doris Kearns Goodwin

St. Martin's Griffin, 1991

"If it hadn't been for Vietnam"---
Goodwin takes on Lyndon Johnson in a biographical sketch that has a very familiar and intimate attachment for her. She served as an aide in his administration, 1967, and then later after him leaving office was asked to worked on his memoirs. There is no question that she liked and was fascinated with Johnson. Within her book she examines the power and coercive nature that moved him from small ...
