The Gadfly25 reviews
E. L. Voynich

Book Jungle, 2008

A Huge Sleeper!
This work is pure treasure and a great place for someone who wishes to begin reading fine literature to start. I cannot believe that I never heard of this book until I was 50! It ended up on my large "reading list" and I had to order it online to find a copy -- then (I kick myself) it laid around here for a year before I opened it. When I finally did, I discovered that I could not put this one ...
  
  











  



  
Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat50 reviews
Bill Watterson

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1994

Typical Calvin
This collection takes place mostly in winter/spring/summer and is not themed (as you would think) along the lines of Hobbes "pouncing" which made me hesitate to purchase it at first because I wasn't that keen on all that pouncing. If you are into that aspect of C&H, however, you can get the C&H Lazy Sunday Book Collection. This one DOES however contain a lot of his priceless snowman sculptures ...
  
  











  



  
Rumble in the Jungle21 reviews
Giles Andreae

Little Tiger Press, 1997

Take a look
This is such a cute book. Bright and colorful pictures to look at, with a story that isn't too repetitive. Readers will not mind reading time and again to children
  
  











  



  
The Greatest Thing in the World21 reviews
Henry Drummond

Book Jungle, 2007

Beautiful Sermon on Love
Hadn't read Henry Drummond's book in years, but I recently picked it up again and re-read it and found it had lost none of its power for me. This book can be read in twenty minutes, but it's a twenty minutes that can change your perception of life and love. Drummond, who was an inspiring liberal-thinking Christian of the 1800's, divides Paul's chapter on love in First Corinthians into three ...
  
  











  



  
Just David24 reviews
Eleanor H. Porter

Book Jungle, 2008

A wonderful book
When I was young my mother told me that I was named after the boy in the title of this book. My mother loved this book and wanted her only son to be like its title character, whom she admired greatly. It pleased me to be named after someone who was the subject of a book but, for some reason, I never bothered to ask my mother for details about either the book or its principal character, although ...
  
  











  



  
The Calvin and Hobbes: Days are Just Packed36 reviews

Time Warner Paperbacks, 1993

The beginning of a wonderful adventure...
Forgive me if my review runs a bit on the sappy side, but I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes, and I sometimes think they are among the best friends I've ever had. Bill Watterson's comic is gentle, sincere, and magical. At its core it is an examination of what it means to be human, and the value of friendship. Watterson's philosophy of the comic strip was that it should be based around characters ...
  
  











  



  
The Permission Seeker's Guide Through the Legal Jungle: Clearing Copyrights, Trademarks and Other Rights for ...27 reviews
Joy Butler

Sashay Communications, 2007

Indispensable Guide to Keep Legal Action at Bay
Serendipitously, I received entertainment and business attorney, Joy R. Butler's "The Permission Seeker's Guide through the Legal Jungle" when a good friend of mine was in the process of designing and launching his website. Knowing that he had some trademark issues ( he had recently come up with a logo for his goods and services and wanted to protect his intellectual property) I promptly handed ...
  
  











  



  
Beautiful Joe45 reviews
Marshall Saunders

Book Jungle, 2008

A Timeless Tale of a Canine Black Beauty
I first read this story as a Whitman abridged edition when I was about eight years old. It was hard for me to believe that some people were so cruel to animals, but I loved the book's old-fashioned narration and of the adventures of and lessons learned by Miss Laura and her family in raising Joe. The moment I learned what the word "abridged" meant, I went looking for the complete story; it took ...
  
  











  



  
Right Ho, Jeeves20 reviews
P. G. Wodehouse

Book Jungle, 2007

Very good, sir.
It is rare that I derive such pleasure from a book, but Right Ho, Jeeves, gave me a delightful surprise. Not only does Wodehouse make an art of the satirical novel, but in the process wraps the reader up in the witty speech of Bertram Wooster and his strange arrangement of friends, family, and butler. Bertram, or "Bertie," as he is commonly known, stumbles through the entire novel with the idea ...
  
  











  



  
Evidence Not Seen: A Woman's Miraculous Faith in the Jungles of World War II42 reviews
Darlene Deibler Rose

HarperOne, 1990

Inspirational
This is an amazing book and a brilliant testimony to the faithfulness of God during unimaginable times. My own faith is stronger for reading Darlene Rose's book and I'm thankful for it.
  
  











  



  
We All Went On Safari14 reviews
Laurie Krebs

Barefoot Books, 2004

Great book, beautiful illustrations
This is a favorite for my 2 year old. Counting is represented 3 ways on each page spread - in the text, a visual number in the same location on each page, and by the number of animals on each page. Great picture book for counting, nice text for reading. The back of the book offers a bit of material that we read over as well - descriptions of the Masai people, and their way of life, a map of ...
  
  











  



  
The Jungle Book (Limited Edition): A Pop-up Adventure16 reviews

Little Simon, 2006

Condensed classic with great pop ups
This book is a condensed version of the original accompanied with wonderful pop-ups. It has six two-page spreads, but there is also at least one partial-page fold out on every spread (partial pages are half the size or smaller than the main page). The main spreads each have a large pop up. The partial pages, typically two mini two-page spreads themselves, all have a pop up per spread, too. When ...
  
  











  



  
Lost Illusions16 reviews
Honore De Balzac

Book Jungle, 2008

Swimming among sharks
This is one of the best novels by Balzac, which is to say much, since he is still one of the best writers that have ever lived. Here, as in the rest of his work, the reader can appreciate Balzac's knowledge of worldly life, and especially the world of business, so alien to other writers. In this book he elaborates on the printing business as well as on journalism -vastly so-, back when it first ...
  
  











  



  
A Field Guide to Household Bugs: It's a Jungle in Here13 reviews
Joshua Abarbanel, Jeff Swimmer

Plume, 2007

Gross but Good
This fascinating and detailed "field guide to household bugs" is written by non-scientists for non-scientists. It is down to earth with amazing, horrifying photographic illustrations.
  
  











  



  
The Ballad of the White Horse13 reviews
G.K. Chesterton

Book Jungle, 2007

Simply amazing
I had read some of Chesterton's fictional books, most of which contain poems which he has written, and I very much enjoyed his poems, so I decided to get a book of his poetry. This too I really enjoyed, so I decided to get another book of his poetry, this time it was The Ballad of the White Horse, and this book simply blew away all of the rest of Chesterton's poems. In fact, it simply blows ...
  
  











  



  
The Saggy Baggy Elephant (Little Golden Book)19 reviews
K. Jackson, B. Jackson

Golden Books, 1999

Golden Books are Awesome
I read this to our son, sadly, after he "out grew" these books, they were passed on. Happily, after searching all over I found these treasures on Amazon and now have a new collection for our beautiful grand daughter to enjoy.

Real Men Don't Rehearse: Adventures in the Secret World of Professional Orchestras14 reviews
Justin Locke

Justin Locke Productions, 2005

Fun Read
I loved this book! I myself am a musician and bought this for one of my musician friends for Christmas. I started flipping through the book and knew I had to get a copy for myself. Lots of fun stories that both musicians and non-musicians would enjoy. Gives you an "insider's look" at the world of professional musicians. The chapters are short enough that you can read one or two before bed. ...
  
  











  



  
My Faraway Home: An American Family's WWII Tale of Adventure and Survival in the Jungles of the Philippines17 reviews
Mary McKay Maynard

The Lyons Press, 2002

evocative and insightful
I learned about this book from my high school alumni web page and read it mostly out of curiousity. A fascinating book, a coming-of-age tale of a young girl in wartime. I so appreciated the author's skillful melding of her childish observations and her retrospective adult understanding of this difficult period of her life. She unflinchingly, and often humorously, describes the colonial prejudices ...
  
  











  



  
Concerning the Spiritual in Art13 reviews
Wassily Kandinsky

Book Jungle, 2008

"to break the bonds which bind". . . "to an impoverishment of possibility"
Kandinsky had risen to positions of influence in other disciplines (political science/economics and law) before directing his considerable intellect to painting. His insights extended into the historic 'meta' trends of the arts and sciences, including the physical sciences, and had his interests been directed more to the history and philosophy of science instead of the history and philosophy of ...
