The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time 2 reviews
Mark Haddon
Doubleday, 2003
Thicker than another version
Physically, this book is thicker and heavier than another edition of this book which has orange colored cover. With thicker and heavier paper, you'll get better quality paper. :-)
About the story in this book; It is written in the point of view of Christopher, a boy with Asperger's Syndrome--a kind of autism. What is inside this book is really different than those fiction books I've ever read. ...

Discovering Moths: Nighttime Jewels in Your Own Backyard11 reviews
John Himmelman
Down East Books, 2002
Fantastic, informative, and humorous look at all things moth
_Discovering Moths_ by John Himmelman is a wonderful, witty, and informative look at all things moth, a book packed with beautiful color photographs and black-and-white drawings by the author as well as a glossary and a bibliography, a well-researched book that is also easily accessible to non-experts like me.
A very personable book, the author described his personal interests, discoveries, ...

God Makes Nighttime Too (Little Blessings)3 reviews
Dandi Daley-Mackall
Candle Books, 2002
Great Book
We have had this book for about 5 years. My son loved it from age 2-4, now my 2 year old daughter loves it. This is the last story I read to her every night (she insist that this one is read last). We have read it so often she has parts memorized, and reads along with me. My kids have also enjoyed other books by Little Blessings.

A valuable resource!
If you have experienced abuse of any kind, or know someone who has, this is an important book to read. Few others are written from this perspective.

Mark Haddon
Red Fox, 2004
"My memory is like a film. I press Rewind and Fast Forward."
Writing this first novel from the point of view of an autistic 15-year-old, Mark Haddon takes the reader into the chaos of autism and creates a character of such empathy that many readers will begin to feel for the first time what it is like to live a life in which there are no filters to eliminate or order the millions of pieces of information that come to us through our senses every instant of ...

The Legend of Mickey Tussler22 reviews
Frank Nappi
St. Martin's Press, 2008
Fabulous Baseball Yarn
I wrote a book review for The Legend of Mickey Tussler for the online magazine onmilwaukee.com. In that review I describe how Frank Nappi, the author, has a firm grasp on bringing forth a magical history through his novel, weaving in a sense of how a baseball team in the high minor leagues confronts its challenges throughout the season and how history played a part in the development of this ...

Artist Steve Jenkins does an exceptional job bringing nocturnal creatures of the sea to life with his outstanding collage illustrations. He captures nocturnal sea creatures in a very ecological and friendly way! Author Deborah Lee Rose, a ...

A book that gives you different point of view
This book is written in the point of view of Christopher, a boy with Asperger's Syndrome--a kind of autism. What is inside this book is really different than those fiction books I've ever read. Don't be surprised with the grammar and vocabulary used in this book as they are so simple and too detail. It is what on Christopher's mind. His left brain is dominant while his right brain, where the ...

Wake Up, Night (A Glow-in-the-Dark, Lift-the-Flap Book)2 reviews
Kidsbooks Inc., 1998
What a beautiful sleepy-time book!
I just bought this book two nights ago for my 2-year-old son, and he's in love with it! It's his new favorite. :o)
The story line is simple and easy for children to remember. I love how the moon glows in the dark on every page--it looks so neat, especially when the moon "rises" and you can see more and more of the face. The last page is the best!
My only complaints are that you have to ...

She then concludes her passage with an inspirational quote that the reader is directed to meditate on while falling asleep. This allows that thought to be focused on in the subconscious mind and gives chance for the reader to fall asleep confident on the day ...

Deborah W. Sage
Wessex Pr, 1991
Buy this book
This book was one of the best poetry purchases I have ever made. It had poetry ranging all over Doyle's stories and several key characters as well. The illustrations were made to feel like the poems described the illustration, not vice versa.

Mark Haddon
Random House Audiobooks, 2004
A wonderfully funny and poignant story
NOTE: This review is based on reading the book, not listening to the audio version.
In the second chapter of this book (actually labelled as "3" because this is the second prime number), we are introduced to Christopher, the narrator, who is writing a mystery novel as a class project. Christopher is an extremely intelligent 15-year old who just happens to be autistic. He begins his tale by ...

Nighttime at the Zoo2 reviews
Dale Smith
Golden Anchor Press, 1997
What a winner!
What a wonderful story! It combines family values, traditions and multigenerational love. Our children love to hear the grand dad sing on the free tape that comes with the book and we all enjoy the story. Even the illustrations are exciting. It's easy to imagine just such a story taking place in any family. Thank you Mr. Smith for bringing 'values' back to children's books!

Patty Horn
Treasure Chest Books, 1995
Desert Dwellers is a hit!
Just a note about another review of Patty Horn's music. The latest CD/tape is called "Desert Dwellers Fiesta" in case anyone goes looking for it. It's super, with fine music and good songs.
