impressed
I didn't want to finish this book -- it was so good, I didn't want it to end. I will definitely be reading this book again and again. If you're new to writing, this book is an absolute must-have. Possibly the only one you'll ever need outside of reference material. If you're trying to decide on which book to purchase -- look no further -- this is the one. If you're thinking of pursuing ...

We (several other moms and I) are now ...

Peggy Kaye

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1995

Great for Homeschooling
This is a wonderful book for the homeschooling environment. First, the author is a tutor for children struggling with public school methods, so she offers enjoyable, imaginative alternatives to the plug and chug kids get in school. Second, as a tutor, the author works with children primarily one-on-one. These games, therefore, lend themselves naturally to the experience of home schooling. ...

Lisa Holewa, Joan Rice

Perigee Trade, 2008

A must-read!
This book is a must-read for anyone who uses an "attachment parenting" approach to raising children. Holewa and Rice beautifully outline child-centered methods of creating a loving, nurturing home environment. They focus on understanding rather than controlling behavior. They give significant attention to the idea of defining your parenting style and letting day-to-day specifics flow from that. ...

Great insight on children's play

Very motivating for the child who just wont!!!!!
my son now six has known his letter sounds since he was four and just would not be willing to sit down and read even the simpliest of books to me, and I have a lot of emergent readers and leveled readers. This was the set That did it for us. He begs to read these books, he thinks they are so funny and they are wrote in a way that works for him. These books really concentrate on phonics and not ...

Julian and Mel Gooding Rothenstein

Chronicle Books, 1999

Excellent resource for classic illusions
It is rare when you come across a book on optical illusions that has something new to offer, but this is what sets The Playful Eye apart from many of the other optical illusion books currently on the market. The Playful Eye is a wonderful collection of classic illusions that were printed on obscure puzzle cards, postcards, trading cards, advertisements, and the like during the late 19th to mid ...

They were doing a unit on the iditarod races and sled dogs, so I checked with the librarian to see if the ...

Nature Series Review
The nature series books written for children by Suzanne Tate are wonderful. The books teach children about animals, mostly sealife, while reading. As an adult her books have taught me alot that I did not know! I have all but two of Suzanne Tate's nature series for children. I only wish the series would continue with more books.

Luv it! You have to buy it!
This is the perfect journal for those who do not know what to write in a blank journal. The journal is full of questions like "What are your deepest dreams?" and "If there was no tomorrow, what would you do today?". The journal helps get to know yourself better. There is a hidden, special message in the journal for you to find. I'm still trying to find that special message. This journal is very ...

Nicky Epstein

Sixth&Spring Books, 2005

Great patterns for the whole family
This book goes far beyond Barbie. It has become my favorite knitting pattern book! The doll patterns are adorable, but usually call for tiny amounts of fine-gauge, hard-to-find yarns. I personally am not planning to knit a doll sweater. If you are a Barbie Doll lover though, you will certainly find some wonderful things to make. But the book also has patterns for girls, boys, women ...
