Suzanne Samson
Roberts Rinehart Publishers, 1994
Wildflowers and Children
I have always loved Wildflowers, especially those with whimsical names and I teach Kindergarten. What a wonderful book to share nature with children. The illustrations are bright, accurate to the flowers, delightful to children and the text is simple and rhymes. My class learned all the names after only 3 readings!

Crusade for Justice: The Autobiography of Ida B. Wells (Negro American Biographies and Autobiographies)5 reviews
Ida B. Wells
University Of Chicago Press, 1991
An early voice
I read 'Crusade for Justice: The Autobiography of Ida B. Wells' as part of a class in ethical and prophetic witness for seminary. This was, frankly, not the kind of book I was likely to read apart from a class assignment. But I am very glad to have been given the opportunity -- sometimes things we have to do are in fact good for us! Ida B. Wells was an African-American woman of the late ...

Wendy Roberts
Signet, 2007
A new author for me.
I had picked this up as a recommendation from another mystery website. I was not disappointed. The characters were very likeable and the story kept my interest throughout. I can't wait for the next book in this series and hope that there are many more.

The photos in the book are of unacceptable quality, and do not provide any visual possibility of investigating the objects. putting together a few general descriptions on top of unclear photos- dose not make it a BOOK. i was ...
