Fifty Favorite Birds Coloring Book (Dover Coloring Book)5 reviews
Lisa Bonforte
Dover Publications, 1982
The best Dover birds book for youngsters
I bought this book for my children who are both bird lovers and gifted artists. We prefer this bird coloring book over the other bird coloring books because this is the only one that has a fold-out section in the front and back of the books showing each page in full-color. My children have used those as guides as to how to properly color each type of bird. The others (such as Audobon birds or ...

Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City, 2006
Dr. Paul Hegstrom has information that will change your life!
It was Dr. Paul Hegstrom's teaching that changed our lives forever. In 1994, we were struggling in a ten year marriage that had lots of problems including abuse and adultery.
Dr. Hegstrom's teachings began the miracle that we needed in our life and marriage. The next ten years of our marriage were so wonderful that in 2004, we wrote our first book on marriage, "The Man of Her Dreams/The Woman ...

This small, 83 page book, Guide for Grown-ups, contains selected quotes from the several books and poems that Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote during his lifetime.

Vegan Lunch Box: 130 Amazing, Animal-Free Lunches Kids and Grown-Ups Will Love!15 reviews
Jennifer McCann
Da Capo Press, 2008
Lovely addition to every vegetarian parent's cookbook collection
I love reading cookbooks. I'm vegetarian. And I have to fix several school lunches per day. So getting the book was a no-brainer for me. I've tried several recipes so far. Some my kids love others they don't. What became pretty clear to me is that the "5-star-rating" by Jennifer's son (the prerequisite for a lunch to get into the book) is -of course- quite subjective. And I know that food ...

The Sunny Side: Short Stories and Poems for Proper Grown-Ups4 reviews
A.a. Milne
Ecco, 2007
A delightful little book
If the reader is looking for something like "Winnie the Pooh", this book is not for him/her--unless s/he sees characters such as Owl and Rabbit as satirical portrayals. But the stories and poems contained in this book are delightful, light, satirical pieces, especially lampooning those who might seriously consider themselves to be "proper grown-ups". The stories and poems themselves are short, so ...

Grown-Up Marriage: What We Know, Wish We Had Known, and Still Need to Know About Being Married6 reviews
Judith Viorst
Free Press, 2004
Terrific insights into relationships
I wish this book had been written a year ago when my own "starter marriage" was falling apart. There were so many instances in the book where I could point to a passage and say, "Yep! That's us." "That's totally what happened to us too!" etc. It might have saved my marriage. But I'm glad to have read this book later rather than never. With an impressive understanding of human nature, Viorst ...

Every parent, educator and concerned adult should read this book even if they are not currently helping a child through the loss of a loved one.

The Death of the Grown-Up: How America's Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization 45 reviews
Diana West
St. Martin's Griffin, 2008
Grow Up America
Imagine if the defining tenets of modern liberalism- politically correct "multiculturalism", "diversity" and "tolerance"- were firmly in place when Adolf Hitler attacked Poland to begin WWII. England would have promptly declared that the "war on blitzkrieg" had officially begun. It would carefully avoid any mention of Hitler and the Nazis. After all, aren't all cultures alike? Aren't all ...

The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Grownups (First Time Books(R))7 reviews
Stan Berenstain
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1992
A Terrific Book!
This book is a hilarious treatment of the subject of seeing things from the other family member's point of view. It's the Rashomon of children's books. When the kids get fed up with their parents' discipline and restrictions (as all kids do), they base a skit in a school play on the situation by showing their parents their own behavior from the kids' point of view. But, then, the parents turn the ...

Grown-Up Girlfriends: Finding and Keeping Real Friends in the Real World (Focus on the Family)7 reviews
Erin Smalley, Carrie Oliver
Tyndale House Publishers, 2007
Great book for sisters, friends, and moms
I found this book extrememly helpful as I walk through my "grown up" friendships. This book offers not only concrete ways of being a better friend, but also how to move on from those friendships that are damaging. I appreciated the real stories from both women on their journeys through healthy and unhealthy friendships. I felt like they really said what we as Christian women think, but don't ...
