Raise the Red Lantern: Three Novellas4 reviews
Su Tong
Harper Perennial, 2004
Intriguing and suspenseful
I thoroughly enjoyed "Raise the Red Lantern", more so than the other two novellas. As an occidental 30-something I realize I am not qualified to judge the accuracy of the story, but I found it highly entertaining. I also liked the film version. The novella differs in creating a degree of emotion, suspense, and creepiness that the film lacks. The film is worth seeing for the setting and costumes ...

How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor 62 reviews
Robert S. Md Mendelsohn
Ballantine Books, 1987
The best advice and information
The best Pediatric advice you would ever need!
I only wish I would have had this book before I had my baby boy; He almost died from the overvaccination and the mercury in them, twice!! He still has many health problems related to that.
I always buy it as a gift for all the new mothers that I know (or as a baby shower gift).
Dr. Mendelsohn is one real doctor who honors medical ethics. ...

Clarice Rutherford, David H. Neil
Alpine Blue Ribbon Books, 2005
Best of Its Kind
This is the best book I've found on raising a puppy. Especially helpful is the week by week detailed description of what a new owner may expect developmentally from the puppy, and what the puppy needs for each stage of growing. I've given this book to every new puppy parent I've known!

good little home companion
This is no literary great, but a short and sweet little guide about montessori in the home. The photos are exquisite, a real joy in themselves. The ideas and activities in the book are more contemporary than some of the other montessori the in the home books around as well.

Raise a Smarter Child by Kindergarten: Build a Better Brain and Increase IQ up to 30 Points16 reviews
David Perlmutter, Carol Colman
Morgan Road Books, 2006
Excellent book with some great suggestions (bad title though)
Despite the title (which I didn't like), I thought this book was one of the better ones I've read - it was well written and fun to read and gave me a lot of ideas as to things to do and consider and taught a lot (e.g., it never for a minute occurred to me that our wooden deck (which came with the house) might be made of arsenic-treated wood that could hurt our son). As someone who reads a lot of ...

Great Resource for Parents (and teachers)
I liked this book.
The first half of the book is devoted to telling you why YOU need to teach your children patriotism. Included are ideas to do so. Then, the second half of the book gives ideas on how to teach your children about America.
The first holiday mentioned was election day. That was lucky for me, I read it at the end of October.
Very liberal people probably will not like ...

How To Raise Chickens: Everything You Need To Know (How to Raise...)5 reviews
Christine Heinrichs
Voyageur Press, 2007
Well written, great photo's, great health section
This book covers pretty much everything about raising chickens on a small scale, down-to-earth level. It covers feeding, coop requirements, showing, basic breeds, nutritional requirements, needed equipment and raising day old chicks. I've read so many chicken raising books and most of them cover the same areas that this book does. Though, this book earns 5 stars because of the chapter on chicken ...

How to Raise and Keep a Dragon15 reviews
Joe Nigg
Barron's Educational Series, 2006
Awesome book!
How To Raise and Keep a Dragon. This title says it all. My 7 y.o. son, LOVES it. We came across this book a week ago at Barnes & Noble and he hasn't put it down yet. He has decided what 'dragon' he will raise and keep, he has learned all about it and designed it's 'room'. He also named it! Very cool for the budding fantasy reader.
