American Mensa Guide To Casino Gambling: Winning Ways

24 reviews
Andrew Brisman

Sterling, 1999

Excellent book goes straight to the point
The book has 16 chapters, 2 of which are introductory, and 13 are dedicated to the games themselves. If you've ever visited a casino, you know how easy it is to get overwhelmed by flashing lights and sounds of coins falling everywhere, and then perhaps make an errant decision about playing a slot game or joining a roulette table. This book does a good job on teaching the fundamentals and rules ...

Janan Cain

Parenting Press, 2000

Do you feel like I do?
I got this book on recommendation from my son's Occupational Therapist. He has Sensory Integration Disorder and doesn't understand alot of his feelings. So with this book and therapy and just being an understanding mom it is really helping. The book itself is very colorful and the pictures are quite entertaining. With my younger son we just talk about the feeling and help put a look to the ...

Make Way for Ducklings

54 reviews
Robert McCloskey

Live Oak Media, 1975

ONE OF THE ALL TIME CHILDREN'S CLASSICS
Make Way for the Ducklings by Robert McClosky has become a classic in children's literature since it was first published in 1941. Children's books have changed a lot over the years, but this particular work is substantial proof that change is not always best and more importantly, that quality will always stand the test of time. The work has a lot going for it. First there is the story. Two ...

Mr. Lincoln's Way

16 reviews

Philomel, 2001

A book with so much Character
Mr. Lincoln was the greatest principle ever. He dressed cool and he acted cool. He would do all sorts of things with his students. He seemed to really light up his school. Well not so much to mean gene. Gene is mean and he is not afraid to show it. He doesn't like people that are different from him. He picks on them and even calls them mean names. All the teachers felt as if they have had enough ...

Mapp and Lucia (Make Way for Lucia, Part 4)

18 reviews
E. F. Benson

Harpercollins, 1986

Cheerful Malice
"Mapp & Lucia" is like reading Trollope's "Barchester Towers" with the gloves off. The teacup may be small, but the battles rumble like thunder on the bay. Lucia is incredible. She combines absolute self-absorption with ironclad charming resolve to succeed in her every endeavor. She really is wasted being queen of Society in a small English village when fulfilling the duties of Lord High Admiral ...

It's Easier Than You Think: The Buddhist Way to Happiness

34 reviews
Sylvia Boorstein

HarperOne, 1997

A great intro to Buddhism
Although the book never dives too deeply into the history of Buddhism, Sylvia's personal stories, accompanied by her thoughts on Buddhist practices, provides more insight into the teachings of Buddha than I could have absorbed in any straight forward text. Since this was my first book on Buddhism, I really appreciated the down to earth method of writing she employs and the honesty with which she ...

Playful Parenting: A Bold New Way to Nurture Close Connections, Solve Behavior Problems, and Encourage ...

Lawrence J. Cohen

Ballantine Books, 2001

Packed full of info!
This is a GREAT book. I have put some of the tips to use and can already see a difference in my relationship with my kids. I try to make them laugh everyday now. This book gave me SO MUCH insight that I so needed as a parent. The only thing I thought the book was missing was maybe some summary points/suggestions at the end of each chapter. All of the tips are within the stories and it is ...

David Macaulay

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 1998

Ingenuity. Imagination. Depictions. Diagrams.
Put these four things together--ingenuity, imagination, depictions, diagrams-- and you have a double ID toward understanding how things work. David Macaulay and Neil Ardley put together a magnificent volume for children and children at heart containing a way of understanding the laws of physics and mechanics. The first illustration even shows God busy creating the rotation of the earth. Then ...

The Stars: A New Way to See Them

H. A. Rey

Houghton Mifflin, 1973

The Stars; A New Way to See Them
This is a great book for beginning star gazers. It is easy to read and does not overwhelm me with scientific information...just helps me find the stars and constellations and learn their names.

Judy Ford

Conari Press, 1995

Better than all my huge parenting books!
I wish I had read this 'gift' book before I spent so much money on all the other parenting books that I have bought. These little stories/anecdotes/lessons are very helpful reminders in aiding me to be a mindful, caring parent in this world full of distractions. I have just purchased this for all my mommy friends as a Mother's Day gift. I plan to keep this on my bedside table to read a new ...

300 Ways to Ask the Four Questions

10 reviews
Murray Spiegel and Rickey Stein

Spiegel-Stein Publishing, 2008

Amazing!
After cooking and cleaning all week, I stayed up late the night before the first seder to read this book. I just couldn't put it down! I brought it to our friends' house for seder, and we spent more than an hour passing the book around, taking turns reading the questions in every language we had even a passing acquaintance with, and many we didn't! We couldn't stop laughing, but it also sparked ...

Why the Ships Are She (Stahlecker Series)

9 reviews
Terri Ford

Four Way, 2001

Fabulous!
Terri Ford's _Why the Ships Are She_ is in a total delight--all glee, wit, charisma and surprise. She's one of those rare poets who understands that humor and seriousness can, and should--really, must!--co-exist. There's not a pretentious or a sentimental bone in her body, and that means she gets to real emotions in all their complexity over and over and over again. I love her jumpy, skippy, ...

Real Beauty: 101 Ways to Feel Great About You (American Girl Library)

14 reviews
Therese Kauchak

American Girl Publishing Inc, 2004

This book makes me feel good.
Whenever I feel bad about myself, hating myself, etc, I pick up this book and start reading it. Then I feel good about myself. Of course, though, I don't really need braces yet but I will when I'm 12! The book gives you lots of information on how to eat healthy, exercise, and if you are maybe 10-15, it tells you what to put in your back pack if you get pimples, your period starts, etc. I ...

Life's Journeys According to Mister Rogers: Things to Remember Along the Way

Fred Rogers

Hyperion, 2005

a great book from a great guy
I was a bit apprehensive when I first picked this up at the library because I was afraid that Fred might concentrate more on the religious side of things.actually,he only mentioned god a few times in it and each of those times he mentioned god unforcefully,which was both smart and caring of him.I liked it so much I'm going to buy a copy!it was uncanny to see that his writing style(although ...

11 reviews

Little Simon, 2004

A Boynton Classic for Any Age!
I found this cute book at my college bookstore and bought it for my husband for Valentines Day. I had no idea that Boynton had written any non-board books. This book contains the classic Boynton wit and humor, along with the adorable illustrations of hippos, pigs, and dozens of other animals. It illustrates all different types of love. I think that one of my favorite parts is actually on the ...

Holiday House, 2004

a fun adventure to Saturday Night Live
In this story, the fifth grade boy wants so badly to get on the David Letterman's Late show that he finds a way to get there. Through his journey, he meets a number of characters, and gets all these people to help him get to his goal. My 11 year old son loved the book, laughed reading all the crazy things the boy goes through, and discovered New York City and the Late Show! It is a great lesson ...

What About Me: Twelve Ways To Get Your Parents' Attention Without Hitting Your Sister

10 reviews
Eileen Kennedy-Moore

Parenting Press, 2005

Anyone with more than one child should get this book
This book is a favorite with my children. It has proven a great conversation starter with them on what is good behavior and it offers "twelve ways" to children on how they can get their parents' attention through positive means. When we read it together they will often say "I do that! I do that!" -- taking pride in their positive behavior. The pictures and words are simple so that even the ...

The Four Forges: (The Elven Ways #1) (The Elven Ways)

9 reviews
Jenna Rhodes

DAW Hardcover, 2006

A different type of Fantasy, that is truly entertaining
This book follows no mold for how fantasy is supposed to be written. This book is so against the Tolkien Mold that I could not tear myself away even though I am drawn to the books that fit the traditional Mold. This book Elves are revered, but they all also feared and are flawed their ways. In most fantasy books I read the Elves are always saviors, but in this book their are many sides to the ...
