Yearling, 1980

My most treasured book from childhood
I read this book as a third grader in the seventies. I was so profoundly moved by it that I wrote a letter to the author. I got a personally handwritten letter back from her husband telling me she had passed away some years ago. His letter was so kind and appreciative, it only deepened my love for this book (and series) and helped me become an avid reader. I recommend this book to people of any ...

One of my all-time favorite Little House books
Little House on the Prairie was different because there, the family was practically alone, out there on the big prairie. However, the family moves and while they don't really have close neighbors, they're near a town, so the girls get to experience some town life (including church, which makes Ma very, very happy) Of course, the family is not without its problems, like the locusts that threaten ...

Great book!
Love this story. My son already had Panda Bear Panda Bear, and loved that.. We bought this one, he loves it equally as much. He is 2 and loves the animals at the end of the story, and loves that fact that he can "read" it to us after he learns the animals. Great book, we are going to be buying the others by the this author.

The BEST place to start...
If you have a general interest in seeing what a constallation is named for, what it`s supposed to look like, where it is found, then this is the book for you. If we as children had grown up with this as a constant companion, we would have such a far better grasp of the heavens. Order this for yourself and enjoy it with your children and grandchildren. A week spent outside after dark with this ...

Illumination Arts Pub. Co, 1989

beautiful book!
I gave my 2-year-old nephew this book for his birthday (I think he'll enjoy it more next year). It's a beautiful celebration of the connectedness of all life. Like the American Indian blessing, "All my relations." Spirituality for kids, without religious overtones. Both his parents are psychologists, and they like it, too!

These Happy Golden Years (Little House)

Laura Ingalls Wilder

HarperCollins, 1953

Laura's older, but still fun for kids
In "Golden Years" Laura is a teenager and beginning to live a more adult life- taking her first teaching job and marrying at the very end of the book. My six- and nine-year-olds still enjoyed it, however. There's still lots of play, fun anecdotes, and interesting facts about the time.

Every Young Girl Should Read this Book

Do youself a favor, Mothers, and get this book for your daughters. It shows how life presents unexpected events, bad and good. How stoicism, perseverance and faith prevail. Yet it is also ...

Ascending the status of a classic
Honestly I read this book over 25 years ago and thought that this book has long been discontinued. I guess this proves what a time-tested treasure it is. The author, a TV celebrity in Japan, recalls her childhood and the unorthodox school she went to. Absolutely adoring in the simple story of how a concerned mother tried to do the best for her daughter and how a simple man did his best to give a ...

RIP Miep Gies 1909-2010
The world has lost a special light this week with the loss of Mrs. Gies. As was just reported, she passed away this Monday at the age of 100 leaving behind her a legacy of bravery, compassion and gumption. Though by her own account, she was not a hero, every word written in her memoir exudes the very definition of the word. She, together with her late husband and Mr. Frank's former ...

North Atlantic Books, 2000

So far so good
I've only gotten 154 pages into the 500+ pages of material and I am already thoroughly impressed. The science thus far presented seems to readily support that blurred vision can be corrected and that the lack of my ability to clearly see anything closer than my arms length is not due the popular theory that the lens of my eye has become so chronically stiff that it disables a focussing capability ...

Turning the Mind Into an Ally
Insomnia was keeping me awake in the middle of the night. I had tried several different things, all to no avail. Mipham's book showed me how to stop my mind from jumping steadily from one subject to the next. With Mipham's meditation technique I can be asleep within a few minutes.

Great book for kids of all ages!
Bought this as a present for my nieces from Amazon.com after reading (or should I say "finding")it with my grandkids. Kids love it, and so will adults.
