love it!
My family loves Boynton and this book. It is a fun, catchy story that my 2 and 4 year-olds enjoy dancing to. Though it's tough to choose, this is probably our favorite Sandra Boynton book of all!

Mom's Family Calendar 200863 reviews
Sandra Boynton
Workman Publishing Company, 2007
This calendar is a godsend!
With the vertical arrangement of the month and numbers/ boxes that are large enough to be read from accross the room, this calendar is perfect for me. No more missed dental appointments and forgotten birthdays. The kids love using the enclosed stickers to decorate special days. I do wish this calendar came with a pocket or an easy way to attach important items for a month (tickets, coupons, ...

How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques142 reviews
Steven Raichlen
Workman Publishing Company, 2001
Made my husband a legend
I bought this book to accompany a charcoal Weber grill for my husband last father's day. He mastered babyback ribs after one grilling, wowed my co-workers with the NC pulled pork on pg. 109, upstaged my traditional Thanksgiving turkey with his smoked bird with a mediterrean rub (pg 443). He has become the neighborhood smoking/grilling legend and we we already grill several times a week regardless ...

Philadelphia Chickens137 reviews

Matthew G. Rosenberger, Publisher, ABC Philadelphia: Travel Guides for Kids
After recently purchasing another copy of this to give as a birthday gift I am reminded of how much our family has enjoyed these songs over the years. As a child, I remember listening to Free to be You and Me and I believe Philadelphia Chickens belongs in the same category-it is creative and fun-it is a classic!

the best
This calander provides the best space for busy family to know where everyone is at on that day. I have ours centrally located so that no one is surpised by overlapping events. We are a family of 6 so my youngest son and I share a column, since he too young to go places without me.

Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Pain213 reviews
David Buchholz
Workman Publishing Company, 2002
Life Changing
I started getting headaches around the age of 9 from what I can remember and they prgressively got worse as I got older. In my early 20s I can remember having a headache every day. If I didn't have a headache, I wondered what was wrong. If I woke up without a headache I was sure to have one by the time I went to bed. I really had no clue as to what caused these headaches so often and they ...

Christy108 reviews
Catherine Marshall
Workman Publishing, 1968
Not a christian but gotta love it
By no means am I a Christian but instead a certified Wiccan. So to those who know me actually found it surprising that I had this book in my library. Christy is a heroine that you can't help but fall in love with and her story. The young woman has spunk, ambition, intelligence, and above all a good heart. It was hard not to get caught up in Christy's story and as you move through the book and ...

Richard Hittleman's Yoga: 28 Day Exercise Plan80 reviews
Richard Hittleman
Workman Publishing Company, 1969
A Book You'll Use Forever
I first used a copy of this book way back when Richard Hittleman had a PBS program on yoga. I've returned to this book on and off ever since.
The yoga practice he teaches here is:
1) easy to do for anyone, regardless of fitness level or age.
2) presented in simple, daily, DO-able sequences.
3) nicely illustrated with photographs that show exactly how to do the postures.
4) supplemented ...

I'm in Love! How did I get along without this?
Words can't describe how usefull this has been for my family. We have 4 people in our household so the unused 5th column gets to be the Birthday notice - again, super useful. The stickers were ok, but not necessary. In a busy household with 2 realtors, 1 teenage girl who is vety involved in school and 1 old man with lots of doctor's appointments, this calender has been FANTASTIC. I'm going to ...

Rosie's Bakery All-Butter, Fresh Cream, Sugar-Packed, No-Holds-Barred Baking Book42 reviews
Judy Rosenberg
Workman Publishing Company, 1991
We're Not Worthy
Absolutely love this book. I've owned it for years and whenever I need to bring something sweet to some event, this is the book I go to. The Lemon Squares on pages 152/153 are the best I've ever had. Everything in this book is so good and fresh tasting. Nothing is over cooked, or bland or ordinary. I love Peach Crumb Pie and the Very Short Shortbread Cookies.
The frosting recipes in the book ...

The Original 365 Cats Page-A-Day Calendar 2007 (Large Page-A-Day)36 reviews
Workman Publishing Company
Workman Publishing Company, 2006
Cats! Cats! Cats!
I've been getting this calendar for years now -- my kids especially love seeing what new kitty awaits them each day (plus, after the pages are removed I often use the reverse to write notes to the kids - they like getting a note with a cute cat on the reverse - and it's some vague form of recycling.)
The blurbs that accompany each photo are sometimes informative...mostly basic stuff that a cat ...

Gallop!: A Scanimation Picture Book32 reviews
Rufus Seder
Workman Publishing Company, 2007
Amazing book!
This is one of the most amazing children's books I've ever seen. I wouldn't have thought they could still be coming out with "new" things to do with books, but this is amazing! Scanimation makes the pictures look like they're running while you turn the pages. As a mother of 3 children (3 and under) and a librarian, I know that this book receives nothing but high praise in our house and our town!

Look-Alike Book
My Grandson had checked out a couple of the Look-Alike books from the Library. He really liked them, so I decided to get him one for his 5TH birthday. He really enjoys finding the look alike objects in the pictures, and spends a long time for a five year old doing so.

Sew Everything Workshop35 reviews
Diana Rupp

Buy this one!!
I got my first sewing machine for Christmas and hadn't sewn a stitch since home ec in high school. The book is so well written, it feels like you're in a sewing class and the teacher is the best ever. The descriptions of the projects are written so that you can understand them (unlike regular sewing patterns which are written in a foreign language). So far I've made several of the "It's a ...

A Lovely Book
This is easily a favorite in our house. we first started reading this to our daughter when she was 9 months old. Since then, she has grown to love it more everyday. She's now 18 months old, and never tires of it. She generally likes all the Boynton books, but this one, she loves.
Here's the gist of the story: a mommy dog is baking cookies with her puppy, and tells him/her a story about how ...

What a Great Book
I finished this book yeaterday and immediately started implementing it in my own life which I am sure I will do for the rest of my life. What really has my mind working overtime on though, is the thought of using these techniques in education. I always have tried to take small steps, starting at the beginning with my students and have small rewards, and those are the things that worked. I hope to ...

Classic--Perfect for the Coffee Table
This book is timeless. It was written before I was even born and much of it still holds true. Some of the references are dated, but most of the material is relevant and funny. It's a nice book to have out on your coffee table for guests to browse through for some light amusement.
I actually paid a little more for "nice" copy of the book. Perhaps it will be a collector's item someday. It ...
