A wonderful and funnny story, weather you are going to a wedding or not.
I remember practicing for fancy family gatherings as a child, but it was never this much fun. The first time I read this book it was to my 89 year-old grandmother and my 4 and 8 year-old children. I can't say who enjoyed it more, everyone was laughing out loud! The lesson in the book can apply to any semi-formal gathering and it is a fun book to read anytime.

I love this story!
What a way to learn more about autism! Once I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. There is so much symbolism throughout this book in the names of the characters and the characters themselves. It's so much more than just fiction. I love the story and the way the author used fiction in order to teach us facts. Cherish the pebbles in your life.

Search Press, 1994

Well done
Of the three books I bought on pebble mosaics this one was the best. There is a history of "floor" mosaics, a detailed discussion, with drawings, of the shape and placement of stones, a lesson on drawing designs to scale, site excavation and preparation. The two step by step projects, a "threshold" mosaic and a dining patio, are both beautiful and do-able. The mosaic on the cover is so ...

Anything by this author is good.
My daughter (2) is a little young for this book yet, but I read it and think it is wonderful for children. If you have children about 6 or older who are having a difficult time or are angry about something, this book would be great. Even if your children are happy though, there are wonderful lessons here for everyone and that can help the world to become a more peaceful place.
