All I Need to Know about Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger

189 reviews
Lloyd Kaufman, James Gunn, ...

Penguin Putnam Inc., 1998

Uplifting... and very funny.
How much do you love movies? If you are anything like me, the answer is simply, "a lot". As lovers of film we've all sat around and thought about making our own films. Invariably though, the discussions and daydreams of movie glory fall to the way side. You see the truth of the matter is none of us love film as much as Lloyd Kaufman, head of Troma. Lloyd never let those dreams of filmmaking ...

A beautiful read
This story is about David, a boy who has spent most of his life in concentration camps of Eastern Europe. When he is given a chance to escape, he does so with the expectation that he will be caught and returned to the camps at any moment. Eventually, he accepts that he has finally gained his freedom.

excellent help for writing classes
Although Mr Rodale is known for his studies in the area of organic gardening, his synonym finder is excellent. Easy to use, without having to do cross referencing, the book has numerous words to choose from.

My other favorites are "Cookies Bite-Size Life Lessons" and "Jamberry"...there's just something so special about picture books, isn't there?

A Sweeping Saga
Alan Brennert, with eloquent, descriptive, flowing prose offers an epic tale of leprosy among Hawaiians in the late 1800's to present day. Rachel, the center character, is ripped from her family at 7 years old and exiled to the island of Kalauppa, on Moloka'i, where the infected go to die.

If I Built a Car

24 reviews

Dutton Juvenile, 2005

I LOVE this book!
I can't begin to say enough good things about this book by Chris van Dusen. His story about a boy on his quest to build the perfect car is genius. What an imagination! The illustrations alone would be reason enough to buy the book, but the catchy rhyming verse keeps you turning page after page to see what he will dream up next. I also loved the 1950's feel to the book that takes you back to a ...

No Matter How Loud I Shout: A Year in the Life of Juvenile Court

26 reviews
Edward Humes

Simon & Schuster, 1997

Well-written, insightful, enlightening
Written over the course of one year in LA's juvenile court system, this book is very enlightening to the plight of our kids in detention and on the streets. It has recently been reported that less than 10% of Florida's almost $709 million juvenile justice budget is spent on prevention. I hope to do my personal part to change this in my community, by supporting intervention programs for at-risk ...

Martin Windrow, 2004

The Last Valley: Dien Bien Phu and the French Defeat in Vietnam
This is a superb and well constructed book and is by far one of the best accounts of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu that has been written. The author gives the reader a great insight to the formation of the Viet Minh and their rise to become a formidable fighting force whose journey to power led to the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu. The book is well balanced and very readable. It gives a well ...

Now I'm Reading!: Amazing Animals - Level 2 (Now I'm Reading)

32 reviews
Nora Gaydos, BB Sams, 2001

Perfect for young readers!
I bought this for my 4 yr old after having used the first two sets of Bob Books (scholastic). Now I'm Reading!: Amazing Animals is an excellent next step! Amazing Animals introduces long vowel sounds and vowel pairs (digraphs) in managable chunks. This set is great for kids who are intimidated by the usual graded learning-to-read books (like Danny and the Dinosaur) or books which rely on ...

Get Your Own Damn Beer, I'm Watching the Game!: A Woman's Guide to Loving Pro Football

28 reviews
Holly Robinson Peete, Daniel Paisner

Rodale Books, 2005

I wish I had bought this earlier!
I was raised watching football, everyone in my family is a sports nut. I always enjoyed watching but was embarrassed that there were alot of things that I didn't understand. I finally bought this book a few weeks ago and have not been able to put it down. Holly explains things the way that your best girlfriend would. But the book is not 'frilly', which I like. It's got the right amount of ...

Don't Leave Me This Way: Or When I Get Back on My Feet You'll Be Sorry

26 reviews
Julia Fox Garrison

HarperCollins, 2006

I loved this book
I am a rehab nurse and I just couldn't put this book down. Yes, all of the portraits are not flattering of folks in the healthcare profession. We must view patients as people, with all their likes, dislikes and quirks. I found it to be a very funny, uplifting first person account.

Do You Think I'm Beautiful?

26 reviews
Angela Thomas, 2005

Do You Think I'm Beautiful?
How can I write a review when I've yet to read the book? Well I can't. But I can write an encouragement, which I will. I haven't read the book yet because I am involved in a Bible Study that asks that I not read other books or materials if I've not done my homework, which is always a challenge time-wise for me...so I've abided by that. But I did peek into the book and it's basically about the ...

I Love You the Purplest

23 reviews
Barbara M. Joosse, Mary Whyte

Chronicle Books, 1996

An Excellent Answer to An Oft Asked Question
My children ask this regularly, especially my six-year-old Emma. "Who do you love the best?" She wants so badly to be loved "the best". Through Joosse's book, I learned an incredible new way to express how I love her "the purplest" or the "chocolatiest" or "the bell ringingest"..... By using a more descriptive word than "Best", the Mother in this book speaks to what is real and true about her ...
